The last few times I have been in the staff have been so friendly and patient while the people I keep bringing read through the menu and make their choices. Of course, almost everyone gets at least one taco because of the beautiful pitaya-tortillas. The staff is always so kind. I know I will be back soon. Oh yeah! Please bring back the sparkling water. They do have fresh-squeezed orange juice and other tasty drinks, but after a lap around Lake Merritt I prefer to cool down with a sparkling water. Hoping these great vegan offerings will also be at the new San Ramon location!!!

In addition to vegan sushi rolls, the menu includes shared plates, starter soup and salad, ramen, grilled plates (yakimono), nigiri, cocktails, mocktails, and dessert. And yes, it's all vegan, and many items are or can be made gluten-free! I tried the: Gyoza Eggplant Nigiri Pacifica Roll Sunset Roll Basil Mojito The Pacifica Roll is deep-fried heaven. Tempura veggies rolled in rice and topped with a garlic aioli and sweet, sticky soy sauce that I am craving as I type. It's crunchy, it's tasty, and you have got to try it to get the hype. I was told it was a fan favorite, and I'm its new #1 fan. Visit my blog post for the full review: Yourneighborhoodvegan.com and follow me on social media @yourneighborhoodvegan for more reviews!

If one were to eat gourmet vegan food, Berkeley is the best city. Not only it's healthy, (some even) gluten free, it is very very delicious. Tastes just like real rolls. We were so impressed.

The Point Reyes is spicy, looks like a spicy salmon roll. Tastes good. The rolls are nicely packed, do not fall apart easily. It is actually pretty spicy. The grilled mushroom comes with three types of mushrooms, the tangy bbq sauce is delicious. Nice interior, great friendly chef and staff. Always popular. We will be back!

The owner Abby D. is also the chef and her love and pride in her cuisine shines through her cooking. Having eaten Ethiopian food only in the US, this is the best version that I've had across Chicago, NY and DC. They offer indoor and covered outdoor seating, giving it a homely comforting vibe. Since it was just the two of us, we ordered the vegan sampler and the lamb tibsy (spicy). The lamb was delicious and well spiced. All the dishes were served on a platter of injera - sour, spongy bread that just soaks up all the flavor to perfection. I enjoyed the red lentils (misir wat), yellow lentils (alicha) cabbage and carrot stir fry, collard greens and a house salad that had a dressing which perfectly complimented the rest of the dishes. They also offer additional injera should you need any - we didn't. You eat with your hands from the common platter, but they do provide additional plates and silverware should you need it. The portions are generous and we ended up taking some of the food home. They have a bunch of dishes I'd like to try, so I'm definitely going to be back!

One thing I really miss, though, is the rasam drink - I wish they would bring it back because it was SO good! And now for the unexpected part of my visit... While enjoying my meal, I happened to see Mr. Salman, the manager, doing push-ups during restaurant hours! I've seen a lot of things while dining out, but a manager getting his workout in between serving customers was definitely a first! And since Salman himself specifically asked us to mention his name in the review, I couldn't let him down! Not sure if this was a new customer-service training technique or if Salman was just trying to squeeze in a quick workout during his shift. Either way, it definitely made my visit more memorable! Salman, next time please give us a heads-up-we need to know whether we're coming here for dinner or a live fitness demonstration! Jokes aside, I really enjoy this place and will definitely be back. Great food, great service, and apparently... great entertainment too! Keep up the great work, everyone-and Salman, maybe save those push-ups for the gym!

This is a great grab and go option location because to order you go up to the cashier at front and stand in line to place order and can seat yourself. There is both indoor and outdoor seating which is nice but again gets crowded fast. Everything is vegan which is good for anyone with dietary restrictions and the food did not take more than 20 minutes to come out. The location is feels homey and cafe like. Food wise I would say everything was good but nothing to be absolutely blown away by. Definitely would come back here to grab a quick bite if in mood for American style vegan food or in a rush to get something, but nothing that I would say is a must try or unique for myself at least.

They are open again!!…read more I visited Millennium the day of the re-opening in June 2026. I was so happy to find out that the food is still among the best food I've eaten, vegan or not. The new concept is prix fixe dinners on the heated, covered patio, and à la carte inside for walk-ins. I ordered from the à la carte menu and it was awesome. So easy. So delicious. My table ordered the cascatelli pasta, smoky glazed tempeh, coriander & arborio crusted oyster mushroom, and for dessert the summer sundae and chocolate tart. We were sharing so I got a taste of everything. Just amazing. It tastes just as good as before but feels much more approachable and affordable with the new concept. And you can still get the fine dining experience if you want it. I can't wait to go back on a Tuesday to try the pizza. I've heard it described as the best vegan pizza in the Bay Area by people who know what good pizza is, and I can't wait to try it. All food is vegan, and almost everything is gluten free.

I came here with my family, who had been here before it closed and re opened. They have a fixed…read moremenu and an à la carte menu. You can only order the fixed menu on the patio, and the à La carte menu inside. But it doesn't say that anywhere. This is one of those places that takes a paragraph to describe a dish, but you still won't know what you're getting unless you're the chef because of the descriptions and names that they call things. We decided to stay inside and go à la carte. My family each got the veggie burger, and I went with the pasta. They seemed to like their burgers. I like my food to be a bit more straightforward, so I thought the pasta would be a safe bet. It came with a smear of pesto on the side of the dish which, although looks fancy, made the dish very impractical. Mixed in with the pasta was some arugula and cooked cherry tomatoes which they describe as a confit, but they're not. Just cooked tomatoes. The shape of the pasta was kind of difficult because it splits length wise and makes it impossible to stab with a fork, which you have to do in order to get some of the pesto on it. Over all, it was good, but I think I'd prefer a different shape of pasta and have the pesto on it instead of on the side. One thing that kind of bothered me was that my pasta came with no sides of any kind. And the portion was "fancy" so it wasn't generous. But it was the same price as the burger, which was piled so high that you literally can't fit it into your mouth, and they came with a generous side of veggies. So my family took half of their burger and all their sides home after only eating half each, and I finished my pasta and had room for more. For the same price. So I'd say the pasta is not a good value. Service wise, we had to ask for them to bring drinks that we ordered, even though they weren't busy. The ambiance was ok. Music not too loud, so we were able to talk to each other. I definitely wouldn't have chosen to come here but I guess people like places like this. I just like to know what's going on my food without needing an encyclopedia and a decoder ring.

However tonight's meal was so underwhelming, I am shocked with the extreme degree of inconsistency. The single piece of wagyu (usually my favorite bite of the entire bowl) was measly, a fifth of the usual size (and that's being generous). The truffle sauce was also a meager dab. The only generous portion of ingredient was the green onion. Maybe it was an off-day; maybe they were running low on ingredients. I understand it's not that serious, but sadly, I think I'm over my short-lived Mensho addiction. You tell me, is this within reasonable margin of error?
