My coworker and I decided to check out My Vegan after work and were excited to try a vegan Thai restaurant. We arrived around 2 p.m., after the lunch rush, and were seated immediately. We were greeted with warm smiles, which made us feel welcome right away. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal. We ordered the Tom Yum Tofu Soup, Papaya Salad, Pad See Ew with fried tofu, and Thai tea. The food was surprisingly flavorful and absolutely delicious! The Papaya Salad was fresh with a nice balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors, while the Pad See Ew was packed with flavor and had perfectly cooked noodles. The fried tofu was a great addition and complemented the dish well. The Tom Yum Tofu Soup was comforting and aromatic, and the Thai tea was a refreshing way to round out the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, and delicious food made this a spot worth returning to. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

Haven't been here in YEARS. And I think I know the reason why I stopped coming... Dropped by to grab some dinner and grabbed 3 items: their orange chicken, tom yum noodle soup, and their pad thai. OOOF their dishes were like an average of $18 each?? After we got the food we waited outside and it's a shared parking lot with other businesses and I saw a rat literally ran across in front of me the minute I stepped out the door! The worker came by and shut the door all the way so it didn't come in but it surprised me! Can't fault them because this is outside in the public parking lot and the lot is small and smelled pretty gross, like old trash. Not sure I want to smell that before getting my food so we opted to go wait in our car. Once it got closer to time we went in to get our food and came home to eat. They're a Thai restaurant, I hear the staff talking in Thai so I HAVE to assume that the Thai food we got would be good right?? Their Tom Yum noodle soup is YUMMY. So flavorful and enjoyable! It was our favorite! But the orange chicken.. kinda bland.. and same goes for the pad thai :( Portion size not bad but still price is steep for the quality of food they provide. I don't think I'll be back unless I was craving for Tom Yum, but I would rather fly back to Thailand and have it there read more

I walked in on a Sunday to make a to-go order. Service was friendly and my order was ready in less than 10min. I got the pad thai and it was literally the best one I've had!! Flavor was perfect, noodles were great and when I opened the package the food was still hot. The restaurant itself is small but has cute and cozy ambiance. read more

The restaurant is in a shopping center and we were able to grab parking right in front. We visited on a Friday evening with two kids and two adults and we were seated right away. It's cozy inside with a few tables for smaller and mid sized groups. I noticed the most traffic was from take out orders. They offer a pretty big menu so it's easily something for everyone. The portion sizes are shareable and you can have a family style meal. We ordered the tofu pad Thai, Supreme rice, Orange chicken, Chicken nuggets, Chicken tacos and a side of French fries. We also tried the Thai tea. Everything tasted great. The pad Thai and supreme rice was everyone's favorite. We'll be back to try more from the menu soon. read more

I came to My Vegan in Pasadena for dinner with a friend. They have a decent sized menu, it was hard to choose. I decided on their special where you can pick an entree, side of rice, salad and an egg roll for $18. I got yellow curry amd my friend got cashew "chicken" with tofu. We also got dumplings for an appetizer. All the food came out really fast, a little too fast. I'm not sure if they have it pre made and heat it up upon ordering, or if it's made to order. The food was good, but not amazing. For the price though it was a deal and definitely somewhere to stop when hungry and don't want to spend too much. I also liked that they gave a homeless woman water when she came in and asked. That was really kind and refreshing to see. I will be back. There is no restroom though or at least it didn't look like there was a restroom. I want to try their mango sticky rice next time. read more

Overall, just average. The papaya salad was decent and abundant in portion size, BUT tomatoes were really mushy . I would have preferred for it to have some kind of spice that lacked too. The drumsticks were the main item I visited for and they were good; however, they were on dowels vs. sugar cane... just a different vibe, not a deal breaker. Two issues with my visit here: 1. asked for a sweet chili sauce, but it has no chili in it, just a sugary sauce AND when I got my bill I was charged extra for the sauce but no mention of this when I ordered it. I have no issue paying for extra sauces 1. If the sauce is worth a hoot and 2. Awareness that I'm paying for it. Prices are a little high for the quality of food. The parking lot is a little undersized for the amount of businesses in the little strip mall area. One MAJOR complaint and issue 2. They claim the restroom is out of order (which I saw on previous reviewers posts, which was over 1 month ago)... idk how a business can operate without a restroom for customers. I get emergency situations, but how have they gone this long without a working restroom for customers? To make this situation even worse, it doesn't appear they have any neighboring businesses to partner with on this issue because if you need the restroom they tell you to go across the street to Trader Joe's. Next time I'm in the area, I'll just grab something from TJ's to eat and not worry about dining at My Vegan. read more

3.5 stars Another vegetarian family member came to visit, so I thought to have them try this place, since it's so highly rated. It's not bad, but it didn't wow the way I thought it would. My uncle got the Tofu Cashew Stir-fry and it wasn't as spicy as we thought it would be. I got the Tom Yum Noodles and it was sour and not spicy enough. My mom got the Pad Thai and that turned out to be the best dish. Service was good. I'd come back. read more

3.5 stars. I came on a Monday evening for early dinner around 5:50pm. There is a parking lot with a few spaces. Not the biggest parking lot and a bit of a tight, weird layout but I was able to secure a spot. This was my first time here. No one was inside when we came so we were immediately greeted and seated. It's pretty small inside. Several tables along each wall and a few in the middle. We ordered the orange chicken, P.E.T. and RIPP. The food came out decently quickly. First impression was that the portion sizes were small for the price (~$18 each). The orange chicken was not what I expected. I wouldn't get this again. It was mushy and soft, not the crunchy breading I hoped for. The sauce is quite citrus-heavy. The PET was solid. I was hoping for more pumpkin and tofu but overall good. The RIPP was the best dish in terms of the entree itself. Tangy flavor, great mock meat texture. The steamed vegetables had no flavor and the carrots were basically raw. The cabbage slaw was pretty good but a bit watery toward the bottom. Overall, it was okay. I wasn't blown away by any flavors. It's a bit overpriced for what it was. Nothing was notably memorable. My partner and I were able to finish everything (he does eat a lot though). I wouldn't necessarily come out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't say no either if someone asked. Maybe I'll give the pad Thai a try next. Service was nice. Water was refilled twice. Other notes (literally posted around the restaurant): -bathrooms out of order -cash preferred -minimum credit card purchase $10 -tip preferred in cash read more

Dropped by and got the Vegan Pho Basil ($15.50). Even though this is a Thai restaurant, the pho was pretty comparable to what you can get at a vegan Vietnamese restaurant. To me, all vegan pho tastes the same (the salty veggie broth taste), and this is exactly what this one felt like. The portion sizes were satisfactory. They will give you sriracha and hoisin sauce if you ask. The restroom is a single-stall inside the kitchen, so you have to ask to be escorted. It's written on the menu that any food returned will only give you 50% back. Seems pretty atypical and I can see how that might offend some customers. read more

Came in, although there's a sign that says restroom is out of order they told me it wasn't and allowed me to access it. Small place and restroom is in the back by the kitchen but it was clean. Food car out amazingly fast, prob 5-7 min. Tasted great, o ordered the egg rolls and angry pork. Pork was a bit on the salty side but otherwise great flavor. Egg rolls were on point. The brown rice that comes with the angry pork was my favorite, sticky and cooked just right. Overall I liked the place. Bit pricey but it's Pasadena and nothing is 3-5 bucks anymore. 4 stars because of the price and again. A bit too salty on the angry pork for my taste but definitely give this place a try. read more

I ordered this for pickup, it went smoothly and they had my order ready under 10 minutes. I ordered the mung bean noodle salad and the mushroom coconut soup with tofu. I would highly recommend the mushroom coconut soup. The salad's flavor was amazing, perfectly sour and umami, but they had large chunks of green onion (a lot of stem), which cannot be eaten without my eyes watering. The soy shrimp texture was also a little dry. read more

I was looking for a vegetarian food option for my mom and decided to give My Vegan a try. At first, I tried to call and place a takeout order. However, they did not pick up, so I went and ordered in person. The staff was very helpful in answering all of my questions about what's in their dishes. After ordering, it was mentioned everything would be ready within 15 minutes. There were not a lot of people at the time, so there were plenty of seats for me to sit and wait. I was actually surprised to see that everything was actually ready within 5 minutes. In total, I got three dishes - Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and egg rolls. For both the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, I added tofu for the order. For the egg rolls, it looks like it was made with carrot and lettuce. My mom absolutely loves all the dishes. I also enjoyed all of the dishes. Everything was definitely shareable for 1-2 people. This spot will now be one of our favorite consideration for vegetarian food! Note: American Express is not accepted here. read more

Hidden gem for Thai-style vegetarian food. All dishes are made from non-meat or meat-alternative ingredients, but the flavor is almost identical to regular dish. Recommend: Broccoli beef, Pad Thai, Tom Kha Soup, and Angry Pork. Plenty of parking. read more

Get a chance to try this place for vegetarian dishes! Easy to get to from driving or the Metro rail. Please of parking on the lot or off street. A quaint little place with lots of vegan dishes. Mainly Thai flavors! We had the RIPP(pork ribs like tofu), served with veggies of the day and coleslaw and Angry Pork, stir fried tofu pork like with string beans and broccoli served with brown rice. It said spicy but there wasn't much of a kick at all. Other dishes looked interesting so need to go back and try to see if they are resemble the meat counter parts! Service was great, very attentive and friendly. Pricing runs about $15-$20 a plate. read more

First time trying this place and it was yummy! The tom kah soup was super creamy and perfect. I was little disappointed by the mango sticky rice though :( was a lot more salty than I expected. Food came out fast and service was good. I definitely recommend (not the sticky rice though) read more

Tried this place out with my grandparents who are not plant-based but wanted to try the fake meats. They both wanted burgers, and seemed to enjoy them. My grandma thought the "chicken" was cooked in an oil that left a weird after taste. I enjoyed the mushroom coconut soup. My boyfriend thought the orange chicken was ok but probably wouldn't order it again as a main entree. Next time, we'd probably try more of the Thai staples. The place is small so we were lucky to get a table. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Food was ok. Not the greatest. Service was NOT worth the tip I ended up giving them on their hand held device. They were super quick with their device and I felt pressured to select a tip percentage. It wasn't until after I paid that I realized the tip was calculated on the total and not the sub total . Please be aware and do your math if tipping with your credit card via the hand held device or you might be tipping more than you intended. Please read Sarah P's review from a year ago . Sums it up perfectly . I won't be coming back to this restaurant . read more

Took my family to eat healthy vegan food and my best friend for her birthday! Loved this place so much. What an amazing restaurant with such delicious vegan food. Absolutely delicious! The coconuts are always a hit too. Thank you Thailand for bringing this energy into the United States! We appreciate you so much. Very clean and tranquil atmosphere as well. Perfect place for brunch or dinner. read more

I hadn't gone here in awhile and remember I had a 3 star- impression but after trying it again, I am pleasantly surprised and happy that My Vegan has locations in this area. The environment is pleasant and clean. The parking lot can get crowded, but I haven't had trouble finding a space. The staff is also really friendly. There are a lot of delicious options and the food tastes fresh and healthy. It is a fusion restaurant and seems more Thai-focused. A lot of the food comes with tofu already but if you want to change to vege shrimp or chicken it's an extra charge. I think it tastes pretty good with tofu already! I really liked their spicy ramen which was very flavorful and rich. It also already came with bamboo shoots and eggplant. read more

My Vegan is your vegan restaurant that is one of the usual LA eclectic vegan Thai restaurants. However, I enjoyed this one as they don't add sugar to everything and have more of a fresh veggie forward approach on their offerings. I even tricked my veggie resistant kid into a veggie wrap that was leaded with greens and other veggies! The crazy part is she ate it ALL OF IT!?! The service was wonderful. The ambience is simple. So yeah this is a great spot for a more health conscious vegan connoisseur! read more

Pumpkin eggplant tofu is amazing! Great atmosphere and ambience. Lots of great options and great service.

I love the food here, it's well balanced with lots of flavor and value. Probably one of the better pad thai's I've had in LA over the years and their version doesn't disappoint. read more

Food was ok, but I think I prefer other Thai restaurants. I enjoy vegan and vegetarian food, but nothing stood out to me. Pretty pricey for what it is. I understand some vegan establishments are on the pricier side to get their hands on good vegan "meat", but when the protein is just tofu (which is pretty standard across Thai dishes) I don't see why it's so expensive. I don't have any complaints about service, and it seems like a nice small restaurant otherwise. read more

Amazing good, very yummy. I had the yellow curry noodle, the best I've ever had, I recommend everyone to give a try.

My family is always on the look out for good vegetarian places in the area. We are not vegetarian, per se, but once in a while we like to go out to get vegetarian food. I did some research and found this nice Thai vegetarian restaurant in Pasadena, so I had to come give it a try. I came here with my wife for dinner. It seemed like their main specialties were Thai food. I also noticed that on their Instagram, their pineapple fried rice looked really good. So I got the pineapple fried rice with soy chicken. My wife got the Kee Mao with tofu. The Kee Mao tastes like any other Thai restaurant's drunken noodles despite being vegetarian. It was amazing, and also too spicy for me, as expected from Thai restaurants. The noodles were fresh and flavorful. I had the pineapple fried rice. My Vegan serves rice dishes with brown rice. I wish they had white rice, but the brown rice was still amazing. There was a strong curry flavor. It was not quite a curry on rice, but it was not as dry as a lot of fried rice dishes tend to be. It was the perfect level of moisture for me. I got the dish with soy chicken. The soy chicken and pineapples added the texture notes that I was desiring. Amazing vegetarian restaurant. I strongly recommend this place. read more

We've eaten at My Vegan probably 25 times and were able to count on great food, good service and reasonable prices. Today was an off day for them and rather than scolding them, I'd like to provide a bit of constructive criticism inatead. We ordered PET and Mint salad. The former was as good as usual but the latter was not. There were several cores of romaine included and some really "out-of-date" mint leaves. Here's a photo of the salad's lowpoints. We WILL continue to eat there, provided today's dish was an anomaly and not their new norm. read more

So good, I came back the next week! Most of the dishes are delicious and better than what's served at other (non-vegan) Thai places. We loved the kee mao noodles, pad Thai, red curry, P.E.T., and angry pork. Now I've had vegetarian and vegan pad Thai at other restaurants before, but they've never been able to get the full flavor down. My Vegan's version is so true to the actual flavor that I can't believe there's no real fish sauce in it. I'm not a vegetarian but I'd happily eat here again. Dishes are well portioned for the price, $13-$15 per dish. Service and decor are standard. I'd pass on the Tom yum soup-flavors weren't punchy enough and it didn't come with enough ingredients. The soy chicken was also strange- tasted like squishy gluten that was soaked in maple syrup. Will stick to tofu or try the other protein options next time. Aside from these minor misses, I'd highly recommend visiting when you have a Thai craving. read more
