“It’s hard to find vegan options in the us. This one is one of the best ones I’ve tried so far. The golden nuggets are amazing. The food I ordered for takeout was so hot that even after 1O minutes of driving it was still steaming hot. Prices are acceptable and the staff was kind. Didn’t wait long either. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“Authenticity: NO I'm big on authenticity of ethic food. When I eat out at a Thai, Laos, or Cambodian restaurants expected food to true to core of authenticity but this one is just another typical khmer/Thai restaurant that Carter towards western eaters. I'm aware that most do so to maintain the flow of business, but I specifically asked them for a true Khmer/Thai dish but it wasn't there. Service: Excellent! I'm used to having a 3 course meals and based on the price of dishes I've asked what the portion was like. The server was very helpful and informative and said "for one person the portion each dish is too big....you'll have to take much of it home." Atmosphere: Inviting. Overall, good. they serve a wide selection of wines and cocktails drink. Place is cleaned, organized, and uncluttered.“
“This is hands down the best vegetarian Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. I also had the vegan duck soup which had a great broth. It’s owned by a sweet family. Support locally owned businesses and come!“

“Açaí what you did there! Experience (3.5/5 stars): *Food: built my own custom bowl w/ the raw base, bananas, blueberries, sliced almonds, and cacaos. Wished they had unlimited toppings like at Palmetto. *Service: can either order on the machine on side or at the front *Ambiance: nice but can be dirty if people don't clean after themselves Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a light lunch! I'm hoping to try the drinks next time.“
“This tomato pasta with meatballs, I order it every single time I come here, because it tastes so darn good!This restaurant quite frankly doesn't get the attention it deserves. The menu items are cooked in a very original way and the explosion of flavors are surprising to come from such simple dishes. You can tell that they are cooked with love. I highly recommend this little vegan gem in San Jose.Vegetarian options: 100% vegan, everything on the menu is vegan and it's very delicious.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“I tried Ethiopian food for the first time, the food was good and delicious. It might have been my taste but I did not like it. Nothing to take away from the restaurant of there servers, they did a good job of making and handling the food. Service and atmosphere was excellent, we're extremely polite.“
“shing and a little tart! I also got the crispy plantain taco which was amazing! As someone who just came back from Panama this was on par with the plantains out there! The crispness and saltiness from the taco paired with the sweetness of the cranberries and plantain was just perfect! The only problem was that it was a little bit dry so if there was a sauce to go with it?! The elote were really cool with an amazing shape almost curled up like ribs! They were tasty and had crema and tajin on them! However for their price I would have wanted a little more! I also got the churrasco steak! The steak itself was well cooked and flavorful with a little bit of tomato sauce! The charred vegetables were also amazing! Overall it was really an authentic dish with even the rice being unique with a completely different taste than normal! However I also wished they had some kind of sauce to go with the dish which would have made it just supreme! We ended off with a churro which was warm and gooey with a vanilla center which I loved! Overall the food here is authentic and unique, but it is on the pricier end. However for the amazing service and ambiance paired with the good food I would definitely give this place a try!“
“There were so many options and something for everybody. My friend wanted something ultra healthy with no oil, and he had steamed kale, steamed veggies, steamed tofu and brown rice. I had spicy noodle soup. It was all delicious, was served really quickly, and the staff were lovely.“
“As soon as I sat down at the table, I received free fries and green beans. Today, I ordered a dinner box that included pork cutlet and Godzilla rolls with my friend. First of all, I was surprised by the amount of food, and the food was so delicious that I ate everything even though I was full. This is my third visit to this restaurant and I think I’ll be a regular customer. I‘m very happy with the service and I was charged just $35. Totally satisfied! Cost-effective restaurant!!“

“One of my favorite restaurants to eat at, with options that are very healthy and very delicious.The staff here are very cordial, homely and polite.I make it a point to bring anyone new to the Bay Area here to experience the taste of these amazing crepes.“
“Really good food! The place is decent, sometimes the food is timely but sometimes the wait has been very long. The food is tasty and very consistent. Typically worth the wait if you’re looking specifically for quality vegetarian or vegan food.“

“Good Karma is the best of both words: Tasty craft beer and vegan food. The Fork and Knife nachos, baklava served hot, a great selection of beers on tap and in the can. Super nice people working to make sure everything is great. Went twice while in San Jose. I highly recommend this spot.“
“This was so good!! I got the banh mi and the sauce is to die for! I really like the bread they used too. So much flavor packed into the whole sandwich. My son got the incredibowl and I tried a bite. Super fresh and yummy. He loves chia pudding that we make at home but now he’s begging me to recreate this bowl lol. We will definitely be back to try some more food. The service was superb too. Oh and lastly, the price is not bad especially for how much food you get. I’ll be taking the other half of my sandwich home so hopefully it heats up well after a bit. Try this place you won’t regret it!“
“Good hot pot place. We went for the $75 combo which has option of choosing 2 meats, 2 soups, 2 sides and noodles. Tom yum thai style soup was very tasty. For meat we took prime agnus flat iron. Meat was juicy and blended well with the soup. The combo also comes with 1 veggies tray with almost everything in it. We did not find option for crabs here. And also fish eggs were alright. I will definitely visit again.“
“Amazing pizzas at very affordable pricing and very fresh and quality ingredients used. Now who can beat that combination during these inflation times that too in Bay Area. We tried vegan pizza, Mexican and pepperoni pizza. I am no vegan but heard great things about this pizza from a friend so wanted to try. Really good pizza and they use daiya cheese as vegan substitute for chesse. My daughters enjoyed the pepperoni pizza and between 2 of them they finished a small pizza. Btw, they offer only 3 sizes: small, large and X-Large and small was more like a medium. For $11-13 for a smalll pizza with so many toppings, they were really a steal. The order was also made ready in 15 minutes after placing the order so the service is quick too. The crust was perfect think crust like NY style. Would definitely try again some other combinations next time.“
“I can't help but share my love for Green Lotus - a cozy haven for veg/vegan food enthusiasts like me! I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been wonderful- service and food!One thing that keeps me coming back is the fantastic pricing.

From flavorful curries to savory stir-fries, Green Lotus has nailed it when it comes to satisfying my vegan cravings.However, I must mention the parking situation. It can be a bit challenging, especially on the weekends. But let me assure you, the culinary journey at Green Lotus is well worth the parking struggle. If you're a food lover like me, you won't let a little parking hiccup keep you away from this hidden gem.In conclusion, Green Lotus has become my go-to spot for a delicious and affordable meal. The love for their spring rolls, the variety of vegan options, and the friendly atmosphere have made it a favorite in my book. Despite the parking challenges, I'll continue to return for my fix of mouthwatering delights. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: All food options are vegetarian or vegan.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available“
“If you are looking to eat authentic Indian vegetarian, homemade style, then this is the place. I tasted their food in an event yesterday, it was mouthwatering. Perfect spice level and perfect quantity. They cooked for about 400+ people. The perfection shown in the packing box as well. This is a "Women owned" small business. The business owner shows her passion for cooking in every single item. Please order online www.wellbowlls.com. I guarantee, you won't be disappointed!“
“I've been to a few functions at Moose Mountain Vineyards (so atmosphere goes without saying that its 5 star!) where I believe they are the exclusive caterer. While I've been mostly vegan for a few years now, I am still intrigued by what restaurants and caterers create. We are all trained to believe that we aren't getting protein unless there is a dead animal on our plates ~ and its hard to convince meat eaters of this. I'm mostly vegan by choice and don't miss meat. However, I challenge you to bring your meat eater to a function where they are catering, or have them cater your Super Bowl party, in fact - I double dog dare you.Have them serve up a table full of these nachos picture in the middle ~ don't tell a soul its vegan. They. Won't. Know. The. Difference.If they haven't completely devoured the nachos, have them take a bite into a Coxinhas (pretty sure they are in the 3rd photo). They'll think it's a warm chicken salad fritter or maybe they'll think it's a crabcake pouch , but shhhhhhh, it's jackfruit and it melts in your mouth so divinely you've eaten five before you realize you have to leave some for the other people there! (True story, I was devouring them). There's accoutrements that add to these dishes too (see pictures) - fresh salsas, etc along many other dishes that I've tried. In fact there's one with butternut squash (I think) served over rice that is insanely delicious. All I know is you'll find yourself asking the chef: how'd you make this? What's in that? I can't believe this tastes so good! And you won't be disappointed in the slightest. EVER.“

“I've always had the pizza here which is great, but last night we had the pasta and it was just so so. My wife had the lobster ravioli which was ok, but there was minimal lobster and lots of ricotta. My papardelle with wild boar was meh. Pasta was nicely cooked, but the meat was tough and chewy and honestly tasted way more like beef than pork. It was in a watery broth with a few bits of mushroom and it didn't meld with the pasta at all. Salads were great, service is friendly and efficient and the place has a nice casual vibe. We'll keep going.“
“Love this place for many reasons .It is always nice and clean, the food is high quality and best of all , everything is vegan!I definitely recommend this place .The chipotle mushroom burger is my go to . It’s one of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had .Also , the owners are awesome! And the employees at the Milpitas location are the best! Always so friendly. Makes the whole vibe good .The lady in the kitchen cooking always greets me with a big , warm smile .it’s really niceThe only thing is I wish they would add more new stuff to their menu and a couple awesome salads or a bowel with grains and veggies?But that won’t stop me from going there !“
