    Pad See U
    Michelle G.

    Great find! Delicious Thai vegan. Small quaint place with plenty of seating space. Got the Thai iced tea with coconut milk. Basically like a wonderful dessert :) The coconut soup was so good, buffalo cauliflower wings on point and the pad see U with "chicken" had me wanting to comeback to try other dishes. Highly recommend! Great service and staff. Food came out quickly which was great as we were on time crunch.

    Buffalo cauliflower appetizer. No notes. Crisp. Flavorful. Cooked to perfection. 11/10. Pad see u with soy chicken was so tasty. Massaman curry was sooooo rich in flavor. Everything was hot and the portions were big enough for some leftovers but not an excessive amount of food. So great value. The service was wonderful. We went like an hour before closing on a Monday night so it was not remotely busy but it is a smaller space so it feels a little cozy.

    Return to veStation and this elevated destination. This Thai organic fusion spot that strives to make delicious fresh healthy eats has definitely elevated itself with time. Even my last takeout + delivery experience last year had me wiggling to get back inside for the full Ve experience. Even more intimate and inviting than my last dine in. I invited my friend Jeff to have a meal here with me after his long day at work. We caught up over quinoa sticks (spring roll still), Massaman Curry and refreshments. The service went above and beyond incredible. Everyone from the kitchen crew to the servers to the manager were all so friendly. Everything was a smooth journey of dinning in, even the ambiance which was soft dark yet warm and inviting. As a vegan vegetarian eatery with many gluten free options it speaks volumes to how they capture so many great flavors to even win over my friend Jeff who is very much an omnivore to my herbivore. He's already been back since we ate here once without me. Hats off the the chef and all the Station crew. If you find yourself near Van Nuys & Ventura Boulevards near this tucked away gem - neighbor to Ubatuba - Sherman Oaks, El Torito, U.S. Bank and other spacious plaza favs, consider taking a turn into this shared parking lot spot and enjoy a meal and more. While VeStation is known for it's impressive coconut based curries, they also offer yummy starters, sides, soups, salads, sweet treats, noodle dishes, grain/rice dishes, and a la carte plates. For beverages you can take your pick of Thai iced tea, iced matcha tea (yes), hot teas, lemonade, kombucha, juice (such as pomegranate), oat milk, almond milk, diet coke, still water, mineral water, and coconut. As well as one of two choice mocktails (being an alcohol free restaurant). Their restroom facilities are gender neutral, and extremely clean + well maintained. Good for lunch, dinner, dates (with friends and/or that special someone), family friendly and open to all. Aside from a full dinning experience, take out or delivery... Ve also has catering for your event, special occasion or party needs. I'm definitely hoping to show them some more love, revisit all the dishes I've tried over the years while trying new ones along the way.

    Went here for a lunch meeting on a weekday 2 weeks ago and I am pleasantly surprised. I'm meeting with someone who is Vegan so this was a good place for her. I eat a lot of Thai food and while this restaurant is vegan - the Thai flavors are there and I especially loved the Quinoa sticks - these are like egg rolls! So good and the wrapper is crunchy and the dipping sauce is the right amount of sweet and sour. I ordered Drunken noodles and I didn't miss the meat at all - I got it with soy pepper steak but yes it's not real meat but I didn't miss it. Buffalo wings were also very close to the real thing. The place was clean and I would say spacious- they weren't full but even if it were I don't think it'll feel crowded. Raveewan was our sever and she was attentive and explained some of the menu items accurately. If you're vegan and want thai food definitely go to this place. Even if you're not I think you'll appreciate the flavors, pricing I think is the same as your regular Thai place normally Vegan can be more expensive but I think price point this is about the same.

    More like 2 1/2 Stars. 2 out of the 4 of our dishes were good, one was mediocre (the soft tofu in the attached Pad See Ew dish, was chewy), and the 4th dish was returned, because the tofu was dry. In addition, each dish came out separately, about 5 minutes apart; the Server/Host was too busy; we had to ask for additional waters; ask to place our orders after feeling rushed when we first got there; ask for extra napkins,; and the Birthday Cake I brought, in a bag, was just handed to us in the bag I brought it in, at the end of our lunch - I had to add the candles that I brought, ask for a lighter (which ran out of lighter fluid) to light the candles, and ask for a knife to cut the cake. Won't be going back anytime soon.

    Came here for a vegan dinner and while we did enjoy it, i did not feel like it delivered the flavor profile I expect from a Thai restaurant. Service here is excellent. The staff was very kind and attentive. The interior was clean and sleek. I was really hoping this place would be my new Thai spot but the food was not very flavorful. Everything was well made with quality ingredients but nothing had any spice and I had to add soy sauce to the noodles so that I could enjoy it. This is a great place for a light and healthy high Thai meal with fresh ingredients and is best suited for those who prefer less spice and vegan food. The soy chicken and cauliflower wings were very good!

    Coconut Soup (L) (GF)
    Rose B.

    I enjoyed my meal here but had to knock a star because while everything here is good, every dish needed more flavor. We started with the buffalo cauliflower and it was very told. I think this was my favorite dish. Would definitely recommend. We then got the coconut soup, which was good but average. We then got the red curry, which had a good base but needed more spice and flavor. We also got the drunken noodles which was good but not great.

    Sweet, sour, salty, & a little bit spicy, this all vegan authentic Thai restaurant is a must try! They used unique ingredients like lotus flower roots, chewy black rice & creamy made from scratch peanut sauce. Everything was super fresh and made to order. The vegan soy chicken I got with my royal pad Thai was so moist, & a little bit crispy on the edges. It was so flavorful it didn't make me miss the meat at all. Everything was super filling, the portions were perfect. Even after we got full we still wanted to continue eating more & more because of how well seasoned & enjoyable the food was. The restaurant itself is a bit tiny, you are very close to the other tables & there is also no alcohol served here. The service was okay, our host seemed a bit hurried, but she was very polite. The fresh rice wrap rolls that we got were filled with tofu, soba noodles & some crispy fried eggroll wrappers inside for crunch. I can't emphasize that enough, it was just the right amount of sauce & the curry itself was so creamy & not at all overly spicy the way some Thai places make their food, where it's so hot that your tongue goes numb. We left feeling so satisfied, & we vowed to return again.~~~~

    "Such a beautiful place! I come here often because it's close to home and perfect for any occasion. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming every time. I usually go for curry and zaru soba salad. Yummy ...!

    Quinoa Sticks 4 Pcs

    Finally, I found the best vegan food in the valley. Nice environment and good service. Food was so great. I love spicy but my child can only handle a bit of spiciness so we ended up ordering fusion spice noodle with mild spicy. It was perfect. Their housemade Quinoa sticks were so delicious. The sriracha wings were nice.

    Pad see ew added bean sprouts Thai basil and peppers and Soy chicken!

    Are you open for dine-in?

    Maybe but I prefer not to, if I have a date (been a long time) I wouldn't mind. God bless you guys for running a vegan joint we need more of them.

    Do they use MSG?

    No MSG

    Hello, are your curry bases vegan, no shrimp or fish pastes?

    No shrimp or fish pastes. Thank you.

    I always thought the restaurant was vegan, but now I see it described as "vegan-friendly." What on the menu is not 100% vegan?

    The entire menu is vegan. I'm pretty sure the reason it says "vegan friendly" is technically it is... but also because of question prompts by Yelp when writing reviews and checking in... such as "is this restaurant have take out, is this place good… Read more

    What's in the dressing/vinaigrette for the zaru salad?

    How is the parking? Is there a parking lot?

    There is a large lot, but it's usually pretty full. Two spaces are directly outside the restaurant with a 10 minute limit for pick up orders

I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

    First time at El cocinero, planning on coming back again and again and again!!!!!!!…read more I was informed it was all and everything is vegan which I love tacos and to find a vegan Mexican spot that is all vegan came in clutch. This place had everything you'd need and tastes so good for a vegan spot. You would be able to fool me and tell me this is actual meat and I'd believe it. That's how good it was! I got the quesadilla (half asada, half al pastor) omg that was the best thing I have ever had. The cheese melts and pulls just like regular Cheese. The meat was so juicy and good flavor. I'd get it again and again But I'd probably try the tacos next time along with the quesadilla tbh. I also got the flan which was tbh less sweeter than a regular flan. But hey I still loved it, I don't complain about it. It was still delicious. (Funny incident, I ordered the flan at the front and paid for it.i wasn't told anything else by the guy at the register. SoThen went back to the table and Waited and waited and waited for a good 20 minutes, till I asked about it and was told that I can just grab it out of the refrigerator!!!! Smh, as much as I was upset as much as I for some reason just found it funny. So don't do the same mistake I did and just go grab it right after you pay for it.) Overall, I loved everything and all the things about this place. Nice seating areas, nice environment , helpful workers,convenient parking! And most importantly, delicious food. Definitely be visiting this place again!

If you're bummed about this restaurant closing like I am, their…read moreoriginal location is in San Diego in the North Park neighborhood, I definitely recommend stopping by if you're down in SD. I was very fortunate to be there on the last night of service and although I was bummed that they had run out of lasagna and one of the pizzas we really wanted to have, all the food was pretty great. Even with reservations, there was a little bit of a wait because many of the tables were lingering, but they still did a great job with the service for how busy they were and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. Here's a breakdown of everything I tried: 5/5 - Hot Shrooms: really delicious battered mushrooms that are lightly fried and served with a delicious buffalo sauce. Definitely my favorite appetizer. 4.5/5 - Fancy Garlic Fries: very tasty but also very light, very thin strips and they go quick, haha. 5/5 - Four Horseman Pizza (Sicilian style): OMG this pizza crust was like pull apart bread, I can't believe so many people don't know the pan here is their best crust! Also, the pizza itself is so delicious, the blend of flavors from the red and pesto sauces is amazing! 5/5 - Vulgar Display of Pineapple: a Sicilian style pan pizza with crushed tomato, mozzarella, fresh pineapple, sausage crumble, smoked maitake, zhoug, and green onions. One of the most flavor packed pizzas on the menu, definitely a close runner-up for my favorite after the four horsemen. 3.5/5 - Fungazi: with ricotta, mixed mushrooms, red onion, spinach, and a truffle cream base. This was definitely on the milder side to flavor wise, I think it appeals to people that like white sauce bases and a creamier texture. Personally we wouldn't get this one again, but it does seem like many people enjoy it. 5/5 - Cast Iron Chocolate Chip Cookie: I mean it's a fresh made chocolate chip cookie and a cast iron dish, you really can't go wrong with this. It's sweet and delicious, a classic cookie and ice cream combination. 4.5/5 - Blackberry Cobbler: definitely for those that prefer more of a tarty and a little tangy flavored dessert, or a somewhat healthier dessert option. Luckily I don't discriminate between sweet desserts and tart heavy flavored desserts, haha. Food: 5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5
