    Garlic Fries... so-so
    Evan W.

    Popped into this busy, casual spot for the first time to celebrate my vegan son's birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised by the breadth of the menu and the extremely generous portions for quite reasonable prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a converted cottage on that triangular corner just before Riverside and Alameda split, they offer both patio and indoor seating with a comfy, no frills set-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is uniformly friendly and accommodating, and they kept things moving nicely despite a very busy dinner rush. As I mentioned, the menu is very diverse, the focus being on Thai dishes but also offering burgers, pasta & meatballs (vegan, of course), salads, and kid-friendly options like chicken nuggets and fries. Since we were a table of 5 and it was our maiden voyage, we ordered a number of starters: Vegetable Gyoza (very tasty), Portobello Fries (hearty and tender in a flavorful crust), regular French Fries and Garlic Fries (both just serviceable). Mains included Pad Thai, Khao Soi with Fried Tofu, the aforementioned Spaghetti & Meatball Bolognese, a Yellow Curry with Chicken and, for the heck of it, Chicken Nuggets. Those nuggets didn't impress, and were mostly left over. Pad Thai and the Bolognese were better, but both needed an extra hit of flavor. Yellow Curry and Khao Soi were the best of the bunch, with rich flavors that were quite satisfying. As I mentioned before, we discovered that portions here are VERY large (especially for the prices), and quite a lot of food came home. Each dish could easily feed 2 people, maybe 3, and I suggest keeping that in mind when you order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, Something Vegan is a comfy, cozy and friendly place that works well for couples, groups, singles or families, and you'll get a lot of bang for your buck -- they just need to put a little more bang in their flavor profiles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Crispy "Chicken" sandwich
    Eric R.

    I struggle with vegan food being a more approachable option for the omnivore in me but I've found two things to be true 1. Vegan food is either fantastically delicious or completely awful. 2. There is (in my experience) no such thing as average vegan food. That being said, my food was not only delicious, but I'm pleasantly able to report I feel no post heaviness after eating either. Now, my only real problem with vegan chicken is reconciling the texture of it, and while it's something to get accustomed to, the crispy "chicken" I ate in a sandwich was pretty tasty. The bacon and vegan cheese was also pretty solid on the fries, though if I was to slightly critique anything, the bacon was more akin to the taste of a crouton. However, the vegan cheese was a wonderful flavor and was very nice to chow down on. Overall, this is the reason I love LA, because even eating fake chicken is exciting when it's executed masterfully. Cheers!

    Stopped by this place while on my way back from a hike and I'm so glad I did. FOOD My friend got the vegan burger and fries and I got the D fries. They were so freakin tasty. The combination of sauces was a party in my mouth that I was not expecting. Somehow they'd layered the sauce so it got just the right amount on all the fries. SERVICE Air was our server and she was so cool and very helpful. I was hoping they had matcha but they didn't, and she happily gave us a recommendation of a stellar matcha place nearby. AMBIANCE [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a quieter place and had patio seating that was perfect for people watching on such a great day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be returning to this place and trying other items. The server was great and the food was tasty .

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Samantha R.

    Decided to try something from here for lunch delivery, menu said they had a chicken Caesar wrap which is my favorite wrap ever, and the best part? It's all vegan/vegetarian! Granted I eat chicken but I've found more often I prefer the soy versions. Anyway lunch arrives and the fries smell amazing, not crunchy which is a shame because that would make them perfect but they are seasoned and taste good! But the wrap! I was a little iffy on the veganaise, I haven't had it before but that odd tangy taste of it was not a bother! There's so much lettuce and the chicken pieces are just so tasty. This is definitely a go to now. I can't wait to bring my mom next time she visits, definitely have to try more from this menu!

    Nacho Supreme
    Nooshi B.

    Oh how I love Something Vegan!! The best chicken tenders are here and I still can't get over how delicious they were. My cousins and I have a group dinner here and everyone left beyond satisfied. Their nachos were a hit and I would highly recommend. I had their crispy chicken sandwich for my entree and really enjoyed it. The fries were aplenty and service was great. They do a lot of takeout and their prices are beyond reasonable.

    Something Vegan, is something good as well as great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Toluca Lake hidden gem has been on the seen since 2017, located off Riverside Drive near other local great spots such as Patys, Bob's Big Boy and many longstanding greats. S.V. fits in as something intimate, homey and welcoming to all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been coming here since their debut and support this amazing eatery with dine in as well as delivery experience. Bae and I branch out to a place he'd never been and hit up this Something grand. It never dawn on me that their breakfast/brunch items are a bit limited, but I went with their "Chicken" & Pancake while he had The Coconut Curry w/ a side of brown rice. We loved it all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From dining outside on a beautiful morning to the vibes and view of Riverside Dr, to the excellent service, ambiance and company.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty buy for them around 1245/1pm with many people dining outside as well as in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer a variety of beverages from hot or iced teas to lemonade, soft drinks, juice, kombucha, aloe vera, still or sparkling water and coffee. For eats it's curries, rice dishes, noodle plats, wraps, burgers, soups, a la carte and specialities, like their C & P I had and loved for my latest meal. But I've had so much of the menu over 8+ years. Highly recommend those Dynamite Drumsticks and Fries, all the wraps, fried rice, curries, burgers, apps and HEAVENLY "beef." Great proteins such as Soy Chicken, Soy Steak, Tofu, Cauliflower, and Soy Shrimp. Gluten free and/or gluten free option items throughout the menu, even for burgers (gluten free bun option). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gender neutral restrooms, street parking, amazing homey decor and desserts on the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can enjoy Something Vegan from 11AM until 9:45PM, seven days a week, but they do close the kitchen between 3:30PM and 4:30pm daily.

    First time here and they didn't disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside had plenty of space, and was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in right at 11a so I was the only one in the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. Got my food to go, I tired the dynamite fries , they had a little kick and were very delicious. Had the dumplings, not bad. Also tried the pad see ew which was good. And the tom yum soup which was very flavorful. I will definitely come back and try some more dishes! absolutely adding them to the rotation.

    I love ordering from here because the food is amazing, especially their vegan carbonara. I usually order for delivery , but I found myself in the area and decided to order for pickup since I didn't know how long the wait would be. My order was ready within 5 minutes of arriving. Since there was no one dining in I thought it would be okay to eat a couple bites before heading out. I was wrong, as soon as I was about to start eating my food, the cashier came up to me and told me that I could not eat at their location because I ordered for pick up. This would make complete sense if the restaurant was busy and people were waiting on a table, but that was not the case (it was completely empty). The approach was very rude as well. Food 5/5 Customer service 1/5

    Magnum Salad. Super huge portion. Very delicious. I also ordered a loose leaf oolong tea. Very cheap and tasty. Highly recommend this place.

    Impossible burger with fries and vegan cheese fries as an app to share (chicken + pancakes in the very back corner)
    Cami C.

    Overall I have had a pretty decent experience at Something Vegan. They have a very extensive menu, ranging from burgers to noodles/Asian-fusion dishes, to salads. You can find pretty much anything you are looking for, but make it vegan. They definitely live up to their name! I recently had the Impossible burger with fries when I went, and it was great. Nothing to complain about and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. I wasn't as big of a fan of the cheese fries, as they got a bit soggy after 10 minutes. My friend loves the cheese fries here though, so it's depends on your preferences. You can order to eat in or do take-out. We sat inside this most recent time and it was pleasant. There are quite a few tables inside and during good weather, they have a patio for outdoor seating too. The ambiance is super chill, and our service was fine. The servers didn't engage much during the meal apart from bringing water and taking our order in the beginning, which for the most part is fine, but we were waiting quite awhile for them to come around with the check after we finished our meal. We weren't in a rush to leave and didn't mind. Overall it was a good experience and I would check out again to explore more of the menu.

    Awesome stuff

    Are they seating indoor? Patio? Reservations?

    They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I believe they take reservations, not 100% sure. I've visited numerous times at various hours and never had a problem being seated right away.

    The menus do not say what is gluten-free, are none of these items gluten-free?

    Some of them are gluten free.Go check the pic of the actual menu that people post in Yelp and you'll see which one are gluten free.

    Why is there two different times for opening?

    Lunch and then dinner

    Is the entire menu vegan or just certain items?

    Sure is 100% vegan

    Organic soy and tofu?

    Gosh, I sure hope so!

    Do they serve Alcohol here?

    Nope.

    The menu is similar to my vegan gold. Is it owned by the same people?

    No. Nothing relate to them. We have started everything from scratch.

The ONLY reason I'm giving this place a 3 is that last time I went, the bathroom was FILTHY and there was no toilet paper. I'm not even kidding - it looked like the sink hadn't been cleaned in months, there was grime everywhere and even a dead cockroach, belly up on the floor. This is first thing in the morning when they opened. It had me looking around at other parts of this coffee shop like behind the counter and on the floor and I don't know what happened since last time but it was grimy. Their grab and go fridge was also nearly empty, which I thought was weird. Did something happen? Anyway, I hope they fix all that because otherwise, this is a great little place with a good menu and nice people who work there.
