    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. 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. 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. 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.

    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!

    The food here is so special. As a vegan, a lot of times, the food can sometimes feel a step down from non-vegan dishes. Not at Something Vegan! Everything is FULL flavor, visually stunning, and really, REALLY good. Do yourself a favor, and try this place out. I highly recommend the Khao Soi, the Portobello Fries, and the Dynamite Drumsticks. Also, pricing and portions are very generous.

    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 It was a quieter place and had patio seating that was perfect for people watching on such a great day. 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. 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. 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. From dining outside on a beautiful morning to the vibes and view of Riverside Dr, to the excellent service, ambiance and company. It was pretty buy for them around 1245/1pm with many people dining outside as well as in. 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). Gender neutral restrooms, street parking, amazing homey decor and desserts on the menu. 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. Inside had plenty of space, and was clean. 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.

    Magnum Salad. Super huge portion. Very delicious. Jam packed with goodness. Highly recommend this place!

    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.

There is one register available if you prefer to order with a person, but no employee is stationed there full-time, so you may have to wait a few minutes. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, and the restrooms were clean as well. Our food came out fairly quickly. We ordered beef burgers, a fried chicken sandwich with avocado, loaded fries, regular fries, drinks, and a shake. The beef burgers had great flavor and were definitely the highlight of the meal. My chicken sandwich was good, but it didn't have that "wow" factor that would make me want to order it again. The loaded fries were tasty too. Our total came to $81 for three burgers, three orders of fries, two drinks, and a shake. Since everything is à la carte, it felt a little pricey for what we received. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. It wasn't bad at all, but it also wasn't a place that left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back." If you're in the area and want to check it out, it's worth trying at least once. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

I am not usually a fan of chain restaurants and honestly did not really want to go. I am glad we did because we had an excellent time. Our server, Frank, was awesome. He kept our drinks full the entire meal and was quick, efficient, helpful, and genuinely polite. My daughter had a great time with her friends and I enjoyed the great service and tasty food. My daughter ordered a burger cooked medium and she said it was really good. She liked that it was cooked exactly how she wanted and that it was saucy and messy, which is a good thing in her book. Her onion rings were crispy and she said there were a decent amount of them. I ordered the China Coast Salad without chicken and swapped in their meat alternative patty. They do not call it Impossible, just meat alternative, but it worked great. Fresh, flavorful, and a solid option if you want something lighter. Service was awesome, food was good, and if this same experience could be replicated again, I would definitely come back. Cost of what we ordered * China Coast Salad with meat alternative patty * Plant Based Patty * Hawaiian Burger * Lemonade * Diet Coke Tax: $5.82 Tip: $11.09 total: $72.34

The one bright spot of the evening was our host, Sophia. She was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel genuinely appreciated from the moment we walked in. She provided the level of hospitality I expect from Islands. Unfortunately, everything after we were seated went downhill. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which arrived extremely runny and lacked any real flavor. Even the "secret seasoning" couldn't improve it. It was not something I would order again. I ordered the Longboarder Burger and was equally disappointed. The bun had a strong, stale odor that made it seem as though it had absorbed the smell of a pantry shelf or had been sitting far past its prime. The smell was so off-putting that I had to take the burger apart and eat only the patty. Even then, the patty itself was underwhelming, lacking both quality and flavor. For a restaurant known for its burgers, this was unacceptable. Our server, whose name I don't recall, was absent for most of the evening. While I understand restaurants get busy, being busy shouldn't come at the expense of basic attentiveness. On more than one occasion, she appeared too rushed to fully listen to what we were saying. At one point, my partner was still in the middle of speaking when she simply walked away before he had finished his sentence. That left us feeling dismissed rather than cared for. I've always associated Islands with consistently good food and friendly service, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Sophia, the hostess, delivered excellent hospitality, but the food quality and the service we received after being seated fell well below the standard I expect from this restaurant. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because based on this visit, I would hesitate to return.

I ate the single (should've got a double!) jalapeño monster meal and a personal mash up of the wild fries with cajun seasoning. Subtotal was $21.74 and tipping was optional. That price looks crazy but I'm pretty sure a large meal at a drive-thru fast food chain costs nearly the same. More if it's dashed and delivered to your home. THE FOOD: Compared to Die - this is a SOLID COMPETITOR! Easy Street is different in a few ways. Easy Street has better fries and toppings options, from the get-go. Die's burgers are more like a McDonald's burger perfected and smashed. Those jalapeños were so crisp and spicy, it was a nice punch and kick to the burger. My wild fries had a melted American cheese slice on top with thousand island sauce and some grilled onions, so it's an animal style-esque option. That also sets this apart from other smashburger joints. THE SPACE: There's seating indoors and outdoors, seems good for small groups. Great vibes and helpful attitude from the cashier. I lucked out because he offered explanations and wasn't exasperated by all of my questions. Pretty clean interior, nice and yellow and bright. Which is welcome because major franchises are getting a washed out millennial gray and subdued muted tone makeover. I swear my local Wendy's is beige and maroon now. Why does dining in have to feel so drab?
