If you want amazing vegan food in L.A., this is the place to eat. If you follow Dean Ornish or Esselstyn because you care about your health and want to avoid oil in your food, this place may be close to paradise. I was desperate for a vegan restaurant in L.A. to accommodate my no oil diet while on a recent visit. This can be hard, even among the most popular vegan places. I called Lotus Vegan to see if they could stir fry without oil and the waitress answering the phone casually said, no problem. I was skeptical but soon found it to be worth the drive. I learned that the owner uses vegetable broth instead of oil for EVERYTHING unless an item in the dish requires deep frying. Her daughter told us that the owner has been doing this for years because it tastes "healthier." No kidding! Excellent and diverse flavors. They should advertise to those like me in L.A. and surrounding areas. Wait. If they did that, no place to sit!
They have the most amazing Orange chicken in the world!!! The place is the best in every way! So friendly!!! I am fan for life!
I had the Tofu Chicken Pad Thai and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend it!
Had a delicious lunch there today. I had glass noodles and veggies and my friend had soup and brown rice. The kindly server took time to take our picture.
Excellent Thai food! Lunch special is the perfect amount of food. You can tell that they use quality ingredients yet somehow manage to price their food very reasonably. I had the spicy green bean dish with chicken it was just the right amount of spicy and the chicken was delicious.
I'm a meat eater and I loved this place! Their "chicken" pad Thai is amazing!! No matter if you eat meat or not this place is a definate must!!!
Delicious and very satisfying! My boyfriend and I went to Lotus Vegan for the first time tonight and loved it. We will definitely be returning many times

Food was spectacular. The environment in this restaurant is amazing it's so peaceful and Serene it reminded me of being at some Buddhist temple. As I began to sit down I understood reason why this is called the lotus flower because of all the wonderful service. Premier vegetarian food. The mill I ate was The salted pumpkin it was a little spicy but if you like a little spice in your life is most definitely a good good meal. I really can't wait to come back and eat that meal. I can't wait till try something else delicious on the. The service was great too as well the waiter was very respectful with me directly in the eye serve me my food and also asked if I needed anything else. Being the top Google reviewer I look at things like. The details matter when you when have restaurant. I hope all of the LA vegetarians and vegans come to this restaurant if you haven't been there already. Also try the duck vegetarian wings which were spectacular. They have the fried rice that was really red rice mixed with sauteed so delicious and yummy.
By far the best pad Thai I’ve had since going vegan, the chef Elle is a magician and everyone is friendly and fantastic. This place never disappoints!

I got to Lotus 15 min before closing. I was able to do a take out order. I got the hot wings (10/10), Thai ice tea (perfect not too sweet) a sprite can (always same) and I ordered the kung-pao chicken. The food did not mention spice on the menu, but it was ridiculously hot. Too hot to eat it. I live in Lancaster, CA so making a trip down there to exchange is not possible. I called them the next day to just give them a heads up and they did offer to exchange the food. I ended up recooking the food the next day by adding some fresh pineapple, Soy sauce and added honey to make it less hot which helped, But it was still too hot for me. If you like spicy dishes you will love this dish. I will still try this place again. They have great food, but I’ve learned I need to ask for spice level even if it’s not mentioned. If you can’t find parking on the Main Street, there is a parking lot you can park at which I’ve included an image of. I’ve tried the curry it’s also very hot in spice and the spring rolls.
Great little vegan spot! Food was great, really clean ingredients and so flavorful! Husband really loved all the dishes! Really nice staff. Enjoyed the papaya salad, basil noodle, pad woon sen, and mango sticky rice 😋😋
This was my first shot at a fully vegan restaurant and I couldn't fault it in any way. I went there with 2 other people that are meat eaters. We ordered the wings, shrimp and satay chicken starters to share and these were enjoyed by everyone. The satay chicken is better than any satay chicken made with real chicken that I've ever had. I had the chicken wrap as a main and again I really enjoyed this.
I ordered delivery through Uber Eats, everything arrived fresh and securely packaged. The hot wings are a must! Potentially the best vegan wings I've ever had. 100% recommend
Prepare yourself with extra napkins, because foodgasms ensue.
Lotus Vegan has yet to disappoint. I can only speak for my take-out and delivery experiences, but I judge restaurants based primarily on food alone anyway. If ambience is your priority, I can't offer insight.
But if you're craving consistently mind-blowing munchies, this place is a must.
My go to's: Orange chicken, spring rolls, green curry (tried with additions of soy chicken and tofu, both were equally divine), and recently, the papaya salad and strawberry cheesecake.
No words. Just drool.
I love spicy food and was not disappointed by the spice Level 4. I'm curious to explore the hottest spice level in my next order, but the 4 definitely delivered heat.
Gems like this are the reason I journeyed back to California.
I love the food! My kids enjoy it and the chocolate cookies 😁🍪 like no other place I ever taste!
Cute little Thai vegan place! They have many options, including soy “meat” options if you’re into that.
Pad Thai was tasty but a bit on the sweet side for my liking. Egg rolls were tasty, crispy. The veggie soup was so fresh and enjoyable! Curry was tasty, served very hot! A bit spicy.
Great service, very homey feel.
Street parking, next to a very strange 5-way intersection...
Hands down the Orange Chick'n is FIRE!!! I promise you, this was the best vegan orange chicken I've ever had.
I want to explore the menu more, but I keep going back just for this item alone lol. I also love the fact that their brown rice is nutrient rich, love food with benefits!
