First time trying this restaurant. I ordered satay chicken, pad thai, and green curry. These orders came in with big portions. The chicken was really chewy and tasted like real chicken. However, I found it a little under-flavored. I was hoping there would be more lemongrass and a smoky smell, just like other typical skewers. Pad Thai was on point. I love the sweetness and sourness that came in the sauce. In addition, I love how they have the combo on the menu, which gives me a chance to try different items on the same plate. The Green curry combo came with egg rolls, salad, and brown rice. The egg rolls were crunchy on the outside, but I found them a bit raw and cold on the inside, and it wasn't a problem for me. I didn't taste much of coconut milk flavor in the curry, which made it not as creamy as expected. Overall, it was a really nice experience, and I'd come back to try again.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
the flavors here are unreal and service has always been super friendly! fascinated by how wide the menu range is. it's busy in here but never overwhelmingly crowded, which is awesome. the vibes are awesome. if you like chinese and thai food and if you're interested in trying plant-based renditions, you'll love this spot
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.

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
I literally found this spot randomly as starving and got the PET - loved that they can make it GF but the star item is the kale salad that almond ginger dressing is amazing: I will be stopping by every time I'm in the area to get it. They have indoor seating the parking lot can be tight as Dominos cleaners etc. Service was also friendly and great! read more

I'm not a vegan or a Thai food fan - but I was craving soup and a borderline hypochondriac, so needed something healthful! Searched "healthy" and My Vegan came up on DoorDash with glowing reviews. Tried their Tom Kah soup, veg spring rolls and kale salad. Enjoyed all of it v much! The soup was less lemongrass-y than I expected (which was a plus) - tasted more tomato / veggie soup with mild sour and tofu inside was firm and delicious with tons of mushrooms! Veg spring rolls aiight - prob good piping hot but ya was ok. Kale salad was sweeter than I expected but loved it ~ goji berries with walnuts mmmmm! Looking forward to trying more dishes! 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

Last month, I wanted to surprise my co-worker for his birthday with a vegan lunch because he only eats vegan on Tuesdays due to personal reasons. So I was in search for a vegan restaurant in Pasadena. Another co-worker of mine recommended My Vegan which is an Asian fusion-inspired vegan restaurant. Before I venture on going with My Vegan, I wanted to first try their foods so one weekend I ordered several of their vegan dishes to-go. Now keep in mind everything made here is vegan at least that's what I was informed. I've eaten at a handful of different vegan restaurants in the past and mushrooms (I love mushrooms!) seem to be the main ingredient that is substituted for the actual meat. But at My Vegan, I believe they use organic tofu (I love tofu, too!). Anyway, here's my feedback on the dishes... 1. Pad Thai Chicken - This was very tasty... vegan chicken was delicious... texture of the noodles were on point. A definite keeper! 2. Pad Woon Sen Shrimp - This was good except for the vegan shrimp that tasted a little bitter for some reason. Will order again, but probably won't get it with shrimp next time. 3. Pad See Ew Fried Tofu - This was perfect... tasted just like the non-vegan version. Another keeper! 4. Yellow Curry Chicken - This was delish! I really liked the curry flavor... it had a lot of vegan chicken strips... would have liked more vegetables though. Still a definite yes! 5. Green Papaya Salad - This was okay... thought the salad was too soggy... maybe too much lime juice in it. Won't order this again! Staff was okay. Prices were average. Atmosphere was pleasant. They do close a few hours between lunch and dinner times so do check on their business hours before heading over here. The one thing I did not try that I normally try whenever I try a new Thai restaurant is their Thai Ice Tea... maybe next time. Perhaps I got thrown off since it's not fully a Thai restaurant LOL. After trying out the above foods, I decided to go with My Vegan for my surprise lunch. Guess what happened? Well, something came up and we had to switch our lunch from Tuesday to Wednesday. The surprise was on me... seem to be a trend these days LOL. Hence, we didn't need to eat vegan after all. After further thought, I made the decision to go non-vegan. It's all good. I am glad I got a chance to try My Vegan. If you're into vegan foods or not, this is a good place to eat at for healthier food choices. Happy My Vegan'ing! read more

My family came here on Thanksgiving day during our drive down. We were seated immediately. Interior: not much to it. Looks old but it works. Tables were clean with hand sanitizer on each table. Menu: fairly big so it was hard to decide what to get. They suggested three house specialties: yellow curry noodle, spicy ramen, and special pad Thai. Food: Yellow curry noodle and pad Thai has plenty of flavor. The spicy ramen was not what I was expecting. It's not Japanese ramen and also isn't instant ramen. Personally, wouldn't get the ramen again but I would get the other two. Portions are also big! read more

Located in a strip mall complex with Dominos and in between a donut shop and cleaners, the restaurant has about 6 tables available for customers to dine in and outdoor seating as well. Parking lot can get busy but it wasn't too hard to find a spot as cars are constantly arriving and leaving the lot. Menu was pretty extensive but I had a chance to try the pad see ew with tofu, pad thai with tofu, and tom yum with soy chicken. I would have to say I prefer the taste of tofu as the protein source rather than the soy chicken. The pad see ew and pad thai were tasty but on the pricier side. The tom yum was lukewarm and average in taste. Overall, it's a decent option for those wanting to try vegan Thai food and I could see myself coming back for the pad see ew and pad thai. Cheers! read more
Ever since we moved from the area we have missed coming here to My Vegan. The food is delicious and our favorites include the wonton soup, pad see ew, pad Thai, and jade rice. Although we aren't vegan we do enjoy eating at many vegan restaurants and this is definitely one of the best we have tried. Our daughter loves the noodles and impossible burger too. The decor is simple and the staff are always friendly and offer great suggestions on menu items. read more
Cool spot for Vegan food, very tasty. A little bit more expensive than last time we came here, but after tasting the food again I remember why! Fire Jade Rice, green curry flavor. Had the wonton soup, it's amazing and tried the chow mein today with the vegan chicken, so delicious. Will cove again when in Los Angeles/Pasadena again. read more

My Vegan is one of my favorite vegan Thai food restaurants! Their prices are fair and their servings are filling. I always order the orange chicken, yellow or green curry (they're both super good!) and pad thai or pad see ew. Their dishes were all so delicious, it was really enjoying being able to eat 3 different dishes that all complimented each other. Servers were nice! One time I ordered through Postmates and the cashier told me that if I ordered through the My Vegan website it might be a better discount for me as they have deals/discounts of their own. Overall, their food is really delicious and I crave it literally every month. My friend who rarely eats vegan food is always down for My Vegan whenever I suggest it!! read more

My Vegan has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants - I've been twice in two weeks and can't wait to go back! They have tons of vegan options, ranging from delicious Thai food to more western dishes. The P.E.T. is my favorite. The hard shell tacos were such a treat, the perfect balance of creamy, fresh and crunchy. The Kung Pao was delicious too. I highly recommend! read more

Arrived on a Sunday around noon Interior: clean, on the smaller end (gives a small cafe vibe) Service: quick. The staff took our order and brought out our food within 10-15 mins. Parking: My Vegan is located in a plaza with a small parking lot (no issue finding a parking spot)! Food: price is reasonable & worth (around $14-16)! Portions are big! read more
When I'm in the mood for healthy Thai cuisine, My Vegan options are limited but this place does the job (see what I did there *hehe). I tried the Curry Noodle for the first time today and regret not ordering this before. The curry is rich and hearty, paired with yummy noodle. The "chicken" is tender and everything worked really well together. The Pad Thai is a hit or miss but more of a miss for me. It's good but for some reason, I don't like the eggplant with my noodles. The consistency is a bit strange but my wife does like it. The Papaya Salad is okay. I wish there was much more tang and flavors but it was simply lacking. The egg rolls are good but they arrive very soggy. If you have the time, make sure to crisp them up in an air fryer or over the stove - it tastes eons better. If you're craving vegan Thai, try this place out. The portions are generous but at times, the food could be a bit tastier. Just depends on what you order. read more

We ordered 3 items. The yellow curry and the coconut soup was great! Curry reminded me of the soup curry from Japan because of the texture. It's very soupy. The taste was nice too. The ramen was not. Ramen tasted like flour. Service there is good. They are attentive and checked on us from time to time. I would come back again. Will try other curries. read more

I love having a vegan Thai spot in my neighborhood, for the occasional (read frequent) curry fix. I absolutely love the yellow curry noodles here. Most of the time I'm here, that's what I order, and it's probably the best I've had outside of Thailand. I've also had the My Vegan Dal (pretty bland, wouldn't order again), papaya salad (pretty meh, none of the ingredients were fresh, sauce could have used more flavor), and the mango sticky rice (yummy, but then again I've never had a mango sticky rice that wasn't). The service is always super friendly and warm. read more

Spent the day biking around and shopping in Pasadena while in town for husband's work. Tried the $13.50 lunch combo at My Vegan which came with a nice salad, eggroll, green curry tofu, and brown rice. Lovely service, very clean place, delicious perfectly spiced food, good value, and just an all round great experiences. read more
This place.. is magical. I've been wanting to become vegan for the longest time, but was having trouble since I haven't been able to curb my cravings for meat. I currently am vegetarian during the week, but allow myself to eat meat on the weekends. My Vegan has honestly changed the game. I ordered here reluctantly, since my boyfriend and I have tried vegan thai food in Orange County and have been left more than disappointed. My expectations last night were exceeded greatly. I got the Pad See Ew with Tofu and the Green Beans with Soy Beef. The soy beef changed my life. I'm not exaggerating. I've never tried vegan meat before until now, and I don't know if this is how all vegan meat tastes like but if it is, I'm becoming vegan today. My Vegan does such an amazing job at replicating the taste, texture, and look of real meat. I had to stop and stare at my boyfriend while eating and figure out whether or not I just ate real meat or not. The green beans were sautéed along with some bell peppers and the soy beef. The sauce was slightly spicy, and garlicky. I absolutely loved this entree. This also comes with a side of rice as well. The pad see ew was delicious as well. The noodles were a bit stuck together and kind of gelatinous but the sauce and tofu with it was wonderful. Overall, the star of the night was definitely the green bean entree. I'm still raving about this place to all my friends and coworkers and I can't wait to dine here one of these days. My Vegan is insane and you are missing out if you haven't tried this place out. You don't even have to be vegan to enjoy this place. It's THAT good. read more

Do they take Reservations?
It's a small spot, they just give you tables as people come in. Try to call them, they might help you if it's for an event or special occasion.
Dog friendly place? Thank you
It's been a while since I've been there but at the time there was no outside dining.
Does My Vegan still have sticky rice and mango? If not, will you guys be bringing it back? I was obsessed with it but not sure if you still carry it
YES! My partner just ordered it last time we were there, about 2 weeks ago. 👍
Will My Vegan open for sit-down anytime soon?
We were just there today (07/10/21), and we were able to sit down to eat. They have limited space, but we got lucky and didn't have to wait at all. Food was a delicious as well remembered (it's been over a year for us), and the servers were kind and…
