Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody. Using today as an excuse to get the best vegan Mexican cuisine this city has to offer. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

I’m not an alarmist and I don’t have any further context other than this email I received last night, but having closed the Calabasas December of 2024, the messaging here is clear.

LA restaurants are hard enough to keep afloat, elevated experiences even harder.

If you like Crossroads and don’t want to lose it, consider going. Even consider taking your non vegan friends to show them what is possible with a plant based meal.

I ate there last week and had most new items from the spring menu, def order the turnip dish!

Hey! I’ve been to Chinatown many times but honestly I’m never eating out in the area, can you all recommend places that have some vegan friendly options?

I’m not interested in fully vegan (I can look that up easily), more like regular places that you guys have figured out how to order vegan or that maybe naturally have vegan options

Thanks!

Are there any places that include sandwiches which have crunchy, deep-fried vegetables in them? I know some places do eggplant cutlets in sandwiches but they smother them in marinara or other sauces and make them soggy.

Are there any places that keep the deep fried vegetables crispy in a sandwich?

Most Sake houses have a few vegan things but wondering if there’s any spots that are really amazing?

Vegan Sushi With Attitude was a ghost kitchen, but I sure miss it.

Hey guys! I don’t order out much these days but looking to get a nice dinner for my birthday with a small group of friends. Which of these options would you prefer? Haven’t been to either but both look great.

Masa has switched from Chicago-based Teese to a house-made mozzerella and unfortunately it’s very saucy 😭

I’m having a baby shower in June for like 40 people and am getting quotes from places I know but I feel like there’s more businesses out there that I’m forgetting. Any suggestions? Doesn’t have to be an entirely vegan establishment. Just looking for vegan friendly catering. Going to go with the cheapest and best option

Hey all, I travel to LA for work every couple months or so and I often find myself dining alone when I can't drag omni coworkers/friends to vegan restaurants or don't feel like listening to people complaining about the lack of animal products. I'd love to meet some new people in LA who I can go to vegan restaurants with when I'm in town.

I'm next in town 5/10-5/13, if anyone's interested in meeting up let me know!

Edit - Since a few people asked, I figured I should say this here - I'm usually on the west side - West Hollywood/Culver City area.

Anyone know where to find some posole for Mother’s Day this Sunday preferably around the Montebello or Long Beach area.

Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get some vegan soul food in the OC/ LA area? Never had it before but it looks so good.
