considering i work right across from this location i have seen it from start to finish and i was just anticipating opening day! it seemed like it took forever but now it's here. my sister and i went opening day and happy to see they were busy and the food was piping hot and delicious. service here is always amazing regardless of which location you go to and the food is always good. my favorite is the buffalo wrap and the crispy cauliflower is a must. i hate cauliflower but somehow you fry it up and have a delicious dipping sauce along side it and it's the best thing on the menu. read more

First experience here was great. This past visit left much to be desired. I had been to other VG locations in the region and was excited to duplicate an off-menu modification to an existing entreé. This mod is simply the entire plate put into a wrap. The only difference is cutting the chickn up and dumplng everything into a tortilla (which is an extra charge-fine by me). After being denied after my first request I mentioned my order at another VG location. I was told a couple jumbled excuses "new menu (of which this item is not part of)...cooks don't know how to do it..." What an insult to the cooking staff; I think they would agree that wrapping ingredients in a tortilla is pretty standard in the culinary world. "I can give you a tortilla for $1 and you can do it." Hahaha, yes, and also give me a cutting board and ramekins of all the ingredients, while you're at it. I'm already paying a premium for vegan food. I'd like to think that putting this secret menu item into the computer befuddled the cashier. Come on VG, get it together. Ask, find solutions. I will return and attempt that wild, mysterious, avant garde wrap order again. Lame. Oh and they forgot the tortilla strips on my mom's bowl. Maybe the strips are also too advanced for this location. read more

I came here and had to see what all the hype was about - and it blew me away! I can't believe that everything is vegetarian/vegan!! I found my new favorite go-to restaurant. I'll definitely be coming here more often; I'm so glad it's close to home! I thought the one in LA was the only location, and that's pretty far from where I am. I'll keep coming back til I try everything on the menu!! Haha read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Spicy Seoul Bowl. Basically a vegan bibimbap! - Vegan Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

The worst veggie grill I've been to. Me and my mother ordered our usual Sonoran bowl and the carrots came out charred and I complained to the manager and he said it's like that. Are u kidding me? Full on charred carrot is your standard of NORMAL?!!! I explained that I've been to other veggie grills and it's never like that. With no apologies, he cooped an attitude and asked what I want to do. Better pray no one gets cancer from eating it. They made a new one and it came out raw and uncooked. Then the quinoa is partially hard and uncooked and my mother couldn't even finish her meal. Overall, disappointing meal and service from the manager. I will not return to this location again. read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Vegan Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great food loved it. Wish we had one in Bakersfield CA. We got the burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious.

After a horrible experience at veggie grill, their management team reached out to me to apologize and I really appreciated that. Walter took care of this problem. read more

Love this place! Went for my first time the other day. I am not a huge fan (or a fan at ALL) of vegan/vegetarian food, but this place just might change my mind. The food is very flavorful and fresh, and there are a variety of items to choose from on their menu. Friendly staff and clean dining area as well. My new favorite lunch spot! Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because there is little to no free parking (plenty of paid parking though), and the prices are a little high. read more

We came on a Friday night at 8, so maybe we should've seen this coming. We ordered our food at 8:00 and it took almost ONE HOUR to get our order. We only ordered 1 entree (a salad) and 1 side. Half hour after ordering they come and tell us they are out of felafel, which is what we ordered the salad for. I am typically pretty easy going and give good reviews (look at my post history), but was definitely frustrated by this experience. I went to ask if they had missed our order and actually got barked at. read more

Gluten Free options aren't gluten free! This place doesn't care about their customers. Confirmed after an allergic reaction by the manager that their item advertised as gluten free, was indeed not gluten free. Their menu is a lie and made me ill. Avoid at all costs! read more

Was really excited to try out this new place, but after waiting for 30mins for my takeout with 3 other people behind me and 2 of them got their food before us, after that I just left. As I walked out the door, they offered me the food. No one apologized except the cashier. read more

One of the best vegan places I've been to. The workers are always friendly and the food comes out fast! There is abundant seating and everything on the plate is fresh and vibrant, I've had their portobello mushroom burger and the grilled chicken burger. They were cooked and paired perfectly. Since I cook a lot for myself I normally avoid over-priced healthy places, but this place is affordable and their food has an extra pizzazz. read more

Haven't been here in a while due to poor quality food service. Decided to stop in today to get my usual (Santa fe chikin'). Well, to my surprise nothing has changed. My fries looked like they had been sitting ALL DAY, no guacamole on the sandwhich (I'm beginning to think this is just the way it is here). Anyhow, thank you for the refund and there are plenty of other places in Los Angeles who will appreciate my business. read more

First time here, I thought this chain was vegetarian. To my surprise it's all vegan! I was excited about ordering carrot cake and eating my portobello sandwich with Chipotle ranch! The guy that took my order was very nice. They have really good teas also! read more

I went in to get my normal dinner. I think there may have been a new person working at the counter so it seemed as if a manager or supervisor or somebody more experienced took over. His name was Hector. Not only did he make my experience wonderful, but it looks like I forgot my sparkling soda. As I was leaving I heard somebody running up behind me. It was Hector with my soda. Super awesome customer service and amazing food as usual. Thanks again Hector read more

All the Veggie Grills are great everywhere, but this one has particularly awesome staff. So kind and friendly, love this place

This place is awesome for the person who enjoys to eat good food not just vegetarians. I love salads and other healthy foods just like the next girl, but sometimes I just want food that's good for you, taste good, and but without all the high calories. I love the portabella mushroom burger. It taste just like a regular burger....which I LOVE burgers! And I love the green beans and the banh mi salad. Their people are really sweet too. The front end guy (I forgot to grab his name) even let me borrow his android charger. Awwww thanks! read more

Fun place amazing food. This is my go to from the airport after a hungry morning. Always grab the Sonoran bowl and sometimes sweet potato fries read more

Always a great clean meal. Staff always friendly location nice and clean. Food so good you forget its veggie based.

This place has changed my mind about vegetarian food. The "chicken" buffalo boomer is a must try, the kale salads are so tasty. They have an app if you download it you get a $5. Credit. The food can take a while to be made,but you can order ahead. Prices are on the high side but you wont be disappointed. read more

Yes yes and more yessses. Great vegan fast food grub! Try the hot Nashville "chicken" sandwich!!

I never have an issue here I always love coming. One thing though..VICTORIA...slow the hell down when you're taking a customers order. I didn't say I was finished ordering before I was being rushed to pay. VERY RUDE and unprofessional. Might need a retrain.. read more

So veggie grill has been my life since they opened. The seasonal items are always super good, though they have a couple other good items. Also, THEY DELIVER! And my Ron Swanson-like husband actually LIKES IT! read more

One of the better locations in the area. It's clean, and fast, despite being pretty busy. There's lots of free parking in the back too. The food at veggie grill is always pretty good albeit slightly over priced for Gardine. read more

koreatown tacos are mangled. just look at the pictures. The food tasted good, but the service was a mess. I ordered online and came 15 minutes later to pick it up. There is no indication where i should pick up or who to ask, i got curt annoyance from all employees. I ended up having to wait another 10 minutes for my food. there is nowhere to stand or sit to wait so i was in the way the whole time. the food was fine, but i don't like the chaos that prevails inside. read more

Everything here is great! Hearty, filling, and delicious. Things to avoid: The mac n' cheese is too small/bland for the price, and the lemonades/teas are way too syrupy sweet. But everything else is amazing and this place is one of my favorites as a vegan! read more

My first visit to Veggie Grill was a pleasant experience. I placed my order with the cashier, who was friendly and prompt in the execution of the transaction. I ordered a beyond burger accompanied by Lentil soup. I was assigned a number on a placard that I placed on my table. My food was delivered promptly in approximately 5 minutes. The burger was surprisingly tasty and the Lentil soup was warm, flavorful, spicy, mimicking the Indian lentil dish "Dak Makhani". The location was clean and appears to be well managed. Visit the Veggie Grill, if you're in search of a quick and tasty lunch. read more

UPDATE, JAN. 15, 2015. THE RESTAURANT RESPONDED to my complaint about inconsistent quality in food, which I sent via their online web form. They were courteous, apologized, and offered a credit that will cover the price of a couple entrees I had to throw away, and copied a couple other Veggie Grill staff on the e-mail. All we can do is wait and see. When the food is made right, is is great. If you have complaints, I recommend submitting them through the company web form. It may help fix the problems for what has been a good and needed restaurant in a convenient location. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW. SADLY, FOOD QUALITY IS SINKING AND INGREDIENTS HAVE BECOME INCONSISTENT. One time a dish is good and the next time it is substandard. When they mess up an entrée that goes into a carryout, giving a free entrée the next time is nice, but does not compensate for no dinner tonight. Please read through to the end for a special message. THESE INGREDIENTS, LISTED ON THE MENU ARE MISSING from tonight's carryout, a Quinoa Power Salad: red onion, bell pepper, almonds, currants, mint, hemp seeds, "marinated" kale and romaine. What does it have? Kale that is not marinated, a few chunks of avocado (one chunk is beyond ripe), a few pieces of thinly shaved fennel--under an inch long, a sprinkling of short pieces of shredded carrot, and no more than a teaspoon of quinoa. It is primarily a bowl of loosely chopped, tough, dry, curly kale. I had elected to omit the white beans and for an extra charge, added tofu, which was included. Aside from the tofu, there's no dinner for me tonight. Recently, I ordered the Sonora Bowl for a carry out, picked up by someone else. I thought they must have given the driver the wrong salad, but when I called, I learned that was not the case. Still, it looked nothing like the Sonora Bowl. Ingredients were missing and the dish was no good. The restaurant said the corn was missing because it was out of season. That is something they should tell the customer when the order is placed. It was so drab, I nibbled a few bites, put it in the refrigerator, and discarded it days later. The restaurant provided a free entrée the next time we ordered, but there was no dinner for me that night. Several times the Kale Caesar has been great and several times, part or all went into the trash--the difference is that wide! And if the restaurant messes up the carry-out, there's no dinner for me. Last week, I ordered the Butternut Squash Soup. Unlike the first time I ordered it, this time it was too spicy to eat and discarded. I expect my order to include ingredients listed on the menu and it should resemble the picture on the menu that shows the food I ordered. An issue with salads in general is the inconsistency of ingredients and quality of greens. Turns out that anything with kale is high risk to order. They may get it right, but increasingly more often, I've received, tough, dry, curly, barely chopped kale, while other ingredients are such as romaine, are either minimal or omitted. Tough, curly kale has to be chopped down into smaller pieces and well-blended into the salad. Otherwise, it overpowers everything else and is at the same time is bland. Veggie Grill is a great concept. With a varied menu from comfort food to options for special diets, they also provide nutritional information on their menu items and flexible options in ordering, and the people there have been nice. If Veggie Grill turns things around, I will go back. A few others have posted experiences that echo those that I've had. I am going to notify the restaurant and send a copy of my review. They may respond well or not at all, but everyone deserves to be informed and given a chance to respond. If you have posted dissatisfied reviews, I suggest you do the same. Social media is brutal, often unfairly and to people that do not deserve it. Don't be part of the problem. Work toward a solution. read more

There's street parking and a parking lot located in the back, free parking there for 90 minutes, after that you have to pay (I don't know how much, sorry). As for the restaurant, it was my first time there and it was clean and somewhat busy. I brought my brother and father both meat lovers. They both got burgers with grilled "chicken" Brussels sprouts, coleslaw and fries. I got the buffalo wings and mini buffalo "chicken" wrap. The good was warm and full of flavor. So delicious, and even though we were full the food didn't feel heavy on the stomach. Father and brother were surprised with how delicious it was and were definitely coming back. I wish they had one in DTLA. read more

A vegan's dream come true. So many delicious and healthy options. I love you Veggie Grill!

Everything was delicious! This vegetarian food was exceptionally tasty and fresh. Their meat substitute product tasted great, the veggies tasted nice and fresh, and the freshly-made strawberry lemonade is, in the words of my boyfriend, "to die for." read more

So amazing! I ordered over the phone and they stated 15m wait for pick up and the food was ready in 10m. I ordered the crispy cauliflower and fala full sandwich!! So tasty. Thank you. Please consider to open up one in Rancho Cucamonga. read more

I've been a loyal customer since this location opened. Until tonight, that is. I called to place a take-out order and was put on hold for over 8 minutes. The last time this happened, I hung up and called back. However, I shouldn't have to do anything to ensure that phone orders are handled in a professional and prompt manner. read more

Sorry but this place is giving veggies and healthy food a bad name. I had the steamed roasted vegetables and they tasted and looked like they came from the frozen section of the grocery store. Mushy and tasteless. I also had the mac n cheese- I knew it was a healthier version so wasn't expecting the taste to be anything comparable to a more typical cheese mac... But it was terrible- I had two bites and left....sorry but head over to tender greens on Colorado if u are looking for some good grilled veggies and a tasty salad... I will say that the girl taking out order was attentive which was nice- but I hope something replaces this place soon. read more

Here right now, wow what a terrible experience. Been to others but this was bad. From being given the wrong order to a hair in the food. Rude service people arguing about the order and admitting they were wrong which was fine I guess. Would not stop by here again. read more

I'm not a vegetarian. I'm a meat lover. But I was with friends who are vegetarians so I had a chance to check out this place. I'll be honest. I tried their signature burger and it did taste like a regular burger. Overall, the other dishes I tried were delicious. The restaurant was very clean and staff was very friendly. read more

I absolutely love their Chill Out Chicken. It tastes so stunningly amazing. The service is very nice and the people are always friendly. It's great to see such a welcoming community. read more

My Wife and I have been wanting to try The Veggie Grill for months since it came in a while back, so we finally stopped in the other day and tried it. We had visions of plates of grilled vegetables of every sort, but when we were looking at the menus, there were a lot of everything else but. We both ordered the Herb Veggie Bowl thinking that there would be some nice grilled veggies along with a couple of fish tacos and deep fried cauliflower. When the Herb Veggie Bowls arrived, we immediately noticed that there were no grilled veggies at all, but they looked like steamed and mushy veggies with hardly any herb taste at all. The fish tacos had tiny over-cooked strips of fish that were hard to find in the tacos and the deep fried cauliflower had very little taste to them. Both my Wife and I looked at each other a lot, wondering what was the deal with this place and were really disappointed that it wasn't better than it was. We were really looking forward to a place nearby that we could have grilled veggies all the time, but next time, we'll make sure to order just that and nothing else. I always take home leftovers, but we ended up leaving most of what was left behind this time. read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Fish Tacos, Herb Veggie Bowl and Deep Fried Cauliflower. - Vegan Near Me - Pasadena, California

Pasadena location sucks!!! Always running out of food. Three times I went there the last few months they either ran out of flatbread, hummus or falafel. I went tonight and they ran out of hummus .... at 6 p.m. How do you serve salad that's supposed have hummus in it when you dont have any? I understand running out of food late at night, but that shouldn't happen earlier in the day. Inexcusable. It's frustrating paying good money for food and getting shortchanged. Emailed and complained to the company twice in the past, but no progress. read more

We have been to many Veggie Grill and this is one of the best. Great vibe and food was so fresh looking and delicious. Walter was so helpful and checking in with us!! read more

Always a super busy location but some of the best employees of any veggie grill I've been to. Always pretty fast on getting food out even when they are slammed with customers, of course they appreciate the tips yet are always very welcoming regardless if you leave one....so hint make their day and leave some tips. read more
