WOW! Now I see why lil Vegerie has nearly 500 reviews and 4.9 stars. I hope my review will bump them to 5 Stars because that is ABSOLUTELY what this unique gem in Redondo beach deserves! Stopped in while working in the area and got the Cauliflower Shawarma bowl. So many delicious flavors of garlic, turmeric, and ginger with a homemade tzatziki and tahini drizzle over roasted chickpeas and quinoa. This bowl truly made my heart and belly happy! The portions are plentiful too. Service was just as enjoyable. Jason took the time to ask questions in order to make best recommendations for me. I will 1000% return to try additional menu items such as the mushroom Carne Asada bowl and Poke beet bowl. read more

lil’ Vegerie - Cauliflower Shawarma - Vegan Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Doing vegetarian today with a brother and decided to check this place out. It's on PCH inside a shopping plaza with ample amount of parking. I have driven by this plaza so many times but have never seen this shop here. The signs are really not that visible. We ordered avocado artisan toast, lentil chili, mushroom carne asada, coconut pumpkin curry and hibiscus drink. The avocado toast looked really basic but tasted so amazing. The lentil chili was good but a little too salty for my taste and the mushroom carne asada was a bit too sour for me like ceviche sour level with no seafood. We really liked the coconut curry. That was the highlight of the meal. It came with this spicy sauce but it was like 3/5 spicy level for me lol but went really well w the curry and also the asada. Overall: love the service. The cashier David was really friendly and knowledgeable and also let us try the curry before we ordered. We also met the owner Jason as well and he offered to switch anything out if we didn't like it. They have outdoor seating only which was nice for today. I'm glad I found this place and will def be back again read more

Since my first review, I've been here about a dozen more times so figured I'd update: It was well worth my previous hype. Goddess Bowl, Seven Layer Slayer, and Chickpea Kale Stew are my top three and all of their Artisan Toasts are hearty and satisfying (even the Avo Toast, which can be mundane most places, has a peppery balsamic glaze that makes it repeat worthy). I said it before, just now with more confidence, don't skip this place and bring a friend. High quality, fresh food that helps you feel good. read more

I've been to lil vegerie twice to pick up a quick meal when meeting up with my friend who lives in the area: I find the portions and quality are perfect and 100% worth the money. The flavors are delicious, and I haven't felt too heavy after eating either. Can't wait to try more things on the menu!! read more

Wow Wow Wow! The flavors are spot on, the veggies so fresh - the food was delicious. I had been a long time since my whole family gall gets a dish they love and here it happened! We all loved our food. My husband got the Tex bowl( not pictured) which was also delicious. Super friendly staff that was accommodating to make our little one plain avocado toast. We are already planning our next visit back. This food is clean and nourishing and you don't have to worry about common allergies! Thank you lil, Vegerie - we are so happy and our tummy's are in love read more

I had the harvest salad. pretty good!! I love the mashup of ingredients that just seem to go together so well. I'm going to try the mushroom Carne Asada next time as a suggestion from the young like that took my order. It's easy to find located in a shopping center. It's more of a to go order place not a sit down. Although I do believe I saw a table or two outside. read more

Happened to be around in the area since my fiancé and I had to drop by Best Buy Torrance to pick up our new TV and were pretty hungry after an afternoon of hopping around in OC! Found this spot by chance and decided hey why not, we're never in the area! It seems like it's close to the beach! So great to stop by if you're heading out there! It's a fully plant-based shop and limited outdoor seating. The shop inside has no seating area - only big enough for you to order and wait outside. There are no public restrooms in this plaza you have to go somewhere else if you need it (which is so weird! I thought most restaurants would have restrooms at least for their customers!) Coming in my fiancé already knew what to order (he was studying the menu when I was looking at wedding dresses earlier in the day in OC - his priorities were locked in LOL) We got their cauliflower shawarma and their mushroom carne asada bowls. Each are roughly $20 so our total was about $40ish after tax and tip Their cauliflower shawarma is SO GOOD. I WISHED they provided more cauliflower pieces in the bowl! We only got like 6 pieces of small and medium sized ones :( It really helped balanced out the flavor of the bowl with the tangy taste. Their mushroom carne asada bowl was so tasty, especially with their chili sauce they provide! I recommend mixing up your bowl! It can tasty salty if you just tackle it straight on, mixing it helps distribute the flavor more evenly! The portions are a good amount, I felt so full and I just couldn't finish my bowl but it was good to find a place that felt like clean and healthy eating! If I'm ever back in the area I'll come back! read more

Really grateful that this place exists. I have always wanted a quick place for healthy takeout food. This place checks all the boxes. I really like their "poke" bowl with beets, kale, cucumbers, rice, and carrots. The sauces and dressings are delicious. I recently tried their chocolate mousse/ganache and it was incredible. Service has always been excellent, everyone seems incredibly genuine and happy to work there. No ambiance really, just a great place for takeout. read more

I am not a vegan, but I have heard many great things about this spot! The service was great and I didn't get her name but she was very helpful! This bowl was delicious, it's the bbq jackfruit bowl. I also ordered the hibiscus Fresca. Delicious I will definitely be going back :) read more

DELICIOUS food that's also nutritious. I can't recommend this place enough. The portions are generous, the pricing is fair, the ingredients are wholesome but nothing is lacking in flavor. I was so happy with the way they thoughtfully season each ingredient- you can taste that their dishes are high quality. The Goddess bowl is incredible- like Fall in a bowl. Went back yesterday and tried the mushroom asada. My husband got the 7 Layer Slayer- I had a bite and wanted to steal his bowl from him. That's definitely what I'm ordering next time. We'll keep coming back to try different things! read more

This vegetarian food place is located in RB, and it shares the parking lot with few merchants in the plaza. Their menu options are very creative, with options of salads, soup, bowls etc. I particularly liked their spicy sauce, very tingling and bold taste. It's good for takeout, as there's no seating inside and limited tables outdoor. read more

Love this place. I just had the best vegetable soup I've had in a long time. I just wanted something soothing and it was delicious . Service was above and beyond. The owner is friendly, outgoing and kind. Told me about fun events in the area , welcomed me into town, and had a great energy. Will definitely be coming back, highly recommend :) read more

The food was incredible....so tasty I di t want to stop eating although I was full. The portions are very generous. Jason was so very good at describing the scrumptious layers of each dish and guided me to the perfect choice on a cool day. read more

I literally could not focus on food because I had to pee so bad and they have no restroom supposedly. Nor does any other business in the whole shopping center or across the street even though I'm a paying customer. It sucks to be treated like a criminal when I have driven 30 minutes to eat at this business establishment. read more

This place is amazing! My new fav in Redondo. Even my boyfriend who is not vegan loves it. I honestly think it's better than Erewhon, and way less expensive. I can't say enough good things about this place. Seven layer slayer is to die for! Yummmmm! read more

Very enjoyable experience! I was surprised by how flavorful the food was and how filling the portions were. We had the Philly cheesesteak and Carne Asada bowl. They were both really good. If you are thinking Vegan food would be bland and uninspiring, you'd be very surprised. The owner is very nice and informative. You can tell he is passionate about the food and I love that he gave us flavored water to try and even a little sample of the soup he was developing for his menu. There are a few tables outside if you want to take your dog, and I saw a lot of people doing takeouts on Sat afternoon. If you are in the area, give this place a try! Def a place I'd like to support, you can tell all the food is made with a lot of love and care. read more

Glad I was finally able to check out this highly rated vegan eatery. Staff recommended the mushroom carne asada burrito bowl, which more than lived up to the hype. Portobello mushrooms had a good texture. The spices were bold but not overbearing. The spicy chipotle crema added a perfect finishing touch with the right amount of kick. Service was fast, food came out promptly. Seating is only outside though with smaller tables so not the best for larger groups. read more

The place I didn't know existed! This is clean, vegan food that is packed with plants and not weird fake meats. It reminds me of the original Native Foods from way back in the day. Lil Vegerie is a local gem and I've already recommended it to several people who want vegan food or just good honest takeout! The staff is passionate about the food and they have great customer service. I recommend the lentil chili and the pumpkin curry with wild rice. So hearty and energizing and filling, and great portions for the price. read more

I almost always get the Italian Anti Pasta salad and it NEVER disappoints. I've also had some drinks, desserts, and love the coconut pumpkin curry. This place is delicious and healthy. So needed when you're always on the go read more

I absolutely loved this place! My niece and I continued our vegan adventures. I saw this one on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading their story and checking out the menu. First of all, I want to mention that the customer service is stellar! The guy that helped us, I think his name was Albert, explained the menu in great detail and gave us recommendations. We had trouble deciding what to get because everything sounded so good! What we ordered: BBQ Jackfruit : I ordered this, but I honestly didn't like it. The lemon juice on the broccoli was way too much IMO. It overwhelmed everything else. However, my niece tasted mine and loved it. So I think it's just a personal preference. Seven Layer: my niece ordered this. I tasted this and definitely regretted my choice. All of the ingredients were seasoned great and went well together. It reminded me of a Chipotle bowl. Chickpea Tuna: I took this to go. I ate it a couple of days later. Everything held up really well. I was concerned about that. The creamy dressing on the chickpeas mimicked the tuna texture so well and tasted great. They cherry tomatoes added a nice pop of freshness to cut through the richness. Philly Cheesesteak: we got this for my brother. He said it was good but only ate a portion. So my niece ate the rest the next day. She said the texture was really weird and unpleasant. So definitely eat this the same day. Once Albert learned that I didn't enjoy my choice, he let me get something else from the menu. I chose the Seven Layer. I thought that was so nice. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy! We'll definitely go back! read more

We had avocado & heirloom toast, Tex Mex burrito bowl & philly cheesesteak - all amazing. Highly recommend. Check it out. Staff very attentive. read more

I LOVE this place! I was visiting a friend and she recommended we come here for lunch as I am a vegetarian. I was blown away by all the options and flavors. It's so hard for me to find meat substitutes at restaurants, usually they just remove the meat and then it's not the same meal. But here I could get a vegan Philly Cheesesteak Bowl or a carne asada bowl and feel satisfied with the taste. Parking was easy and the service was nice. The portions are big and the prices are typical for LA. We did take it to go as there is no indoor seating, but the food came out fast. I only wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time! read more

The food is wonderful...it doesn't matter if you are vegan, vegetarian or not. You will love their bowls! They are fresh, inventive and satisfying read more

I was sitting outside this restaurant with my son and the owner came out and was so kind and offered us a free order of the Seven Layer Slayer to try - it was delicious! It's so nice to meet someone who cares so much about their food and making their community happy. Thank you lil' Vegerie! We will be back! read more

Tuna toast is wonderful. Curry is a bit spicy for me, but my husband loved it. Healthy vegan food.

The food here is fantastic--healthy yet incredibly satisfying. Everything was packed with flavor. I had the Aji Poké Bowl and my husband ordered the Mushroom Carne Asada. Both were excellent, and I would definitely order them again. The grain in the Aji Poké was especially fragrant--it left me wanting more. The Mushroom Carne Asada was also delicious, though I personally would have preferred more mushrooms and fewer beans. read more

After a visit to the South Coast Botanical Gardens, we stopped for lunch at lil' Vegerie. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome and apologies for the less than stellar weather. First to know is that seating is only outside. Our selections for lunch were the cauliflower shawarma bowl and the mushroom carne asada burrito bowl. The food was so delicious! Very flavorful and fresh and filling. The strawberry dragonfruit and mandarin cardamom frescas were refreshing beverages and the perfect accompaniment. For outstanding service and incredible vegan food, lil' Vegerie is the best! Thank you chefs! read more

It's good variety good food. Flavor is very good. We're glad we found this place! I would love a burrito on the menu.

The staff were so kind and had quick service! Their jackfruit was sooo delicious I definitely recommend! Also their portions were really great for the price read more

Amazing comforting meals and kind staff :) will absolutely be back to try more dishes!

I love their pumpkin curry. My friend had tacos which she said was ok. Have to try the other stuff. Small place & nice staff.

Came here with some friends on a Sunday for lunch. There was plenty of parking right out front. We ordered and received our food quickly. I got the Loaded SoCal Hash, which is on their online menu but not their in-store menu. I felt it was a happy medium between the Philly Cheesesteak and Mushroom Carne Asada, which is exactly what I was looking for! My total came out to $21 or $22 after tax and tip, which is decently pricey but worth it. I felt that the meal was filling without making me feel gross, and I appreciated all the flavors and textures. There are a few small tables outside, but we ended up walking 5 minutes to the beach and eating there. Employees were very kind, gave us good recommendations, and offered to bring us water with a splash of hibiscus when we were waiting for our food! read more

I'm shocked I haven't written a review of my favorite vegan spot in the entire Southern California maybe in the country. When I tell you, this place is a gem believe me. Cute and aesthetically pleasing family owned shop that brings very fresh ingredients and flavorful & creative dishes. I come with my family so we all get something different. I'll be honest that I'm bias when I say the goddess bowl is the best one in the menu. I quite literally get it 98% of the time I'm there. I will say request for the non sweet tahini as some times, when combined with the sweet potato in the bowl it can be a little too sweet which I'm going for more of the savory. I have tried almost everything on the menu and I seriously can't find a "bad" one. Something for everyone. Hot or fresh they got options. The portion size is great, we actually split one order between our 2 toddlers. You're always greeted with a smile from the owner himself, Jason (really great guy), or the cooks who have just as big as a smile. You'll be happy to support! Hope they are around for a long time! read more

What a treat and right in our backyard!!!! The environment is no seating inside but tables outside. They' still create a great vibe. Colorful and welcoming. We were a group of four with some never trying a vegetarian meal. The owner went out of his way to explain the menu and make it possible for us to try lots of things. Everything was so fresh and delicious. People that don't normally like veggies were loving it! Carrot lox is soooo satisfying. Harvest salad has fantastic dressing and great balance of salty, sweet , smoke. Slay bowl was so satisfying. So many things I can't wait to come back and try. I have never been a big vegan cheese person but this was really good, especially the "goat" cheese.very creative and elegant . You font need to be a vegetarian to love this place. Looking forward to supporting this neighborhood gem. read more

Food was INCREDIBLE and staff was so kind. We got two different burrito bowls and both were 10/10. Excellent jackfruit as well. So happy to have this in the South Bay! read more
