Veggie Grill

I'm not vegan, but this place is an amazing resturant for great, healthy, and unique vegeteranian food. Big fan of the menu! The staff is very welcoming and friendly and they make sure you are satisfied with what you have ordered. I am also a big fan of the variety of drinks that they have diffrent and delicious. I would different recommend this place.

The restaurant has copious options and diversity in its culinary. The menu is replete with trendy yet nutritious plant-based vegan dishes. On the desert part, the Belgian-styled confection that I ordered was mellifluous and enticingly flavorful. Yet another commendable aspect of this restaurant is the extent to which the staffs welcome food customization to fit customer's dietary preferences.

My family and I have been to Veggie Grill in Encino many times since they opened in 2013. It’s comforting as vegetarians to be able to walk in a restaurant and know we can order anything off the menu and, for the most part, it’s pretty good. We’ve never seen the place crowded so it’s always a fairly quick situation to order at the counter and then receive your food shortly thereafter. On this particular visit I had the Korean Street Tacos. I LOVE the Tres ‘Fish’ Tacos from the regular menu and, I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to stray away from your favorites when you’re at a restaurant, but I thought I’d give them a try. These definitely won’t land in the category of “my favorites”. Way too much of the “gochujang” sauce was included which made it difficult to enjoy the dish. The Tres ‘Fish’ Tacos, however is a delightful dim on corn tortillas with veggie “fish” that gives me the honest to good sensation that I’m eating fish tacos. My wife had the Beyond Meat Burger, kale style (ie on a bed of kale instead of a bun for you gluten-free folk out there.) You can order any of the burgers with the new “Beyond Burger” patty which has the look, texture, and almost the taste of actual ground beef. It’s pretty darned good when prepared properly and it’s definitely the patty you should go with if you get a “burger” here. (It’s gluten-free as well.) Our 9 year old’s go to is the Chickin’ Nuggets (which are more like strips than nuggets) which he gets with fries (other side choices available) and a dessert (carrot cake or cookies.) He gets very excited when we tell him we’re going to Veggie Grill as he LOVES this meal. The chickin’ strips are pretty good. I’ve enjoyed similar faux-chicken at other places a little more but these aren’t bad at all. I love that they have a seasonal menu which offers new things to try throughout the year and am generally excited that I can get a different, hearty vegetarian meal there every time we go. Sometimes we find the food is prepared with a little bit of a fast-food sensibility…not quite as flavored / seasoned the way it should be, or, like with the Street Tacos, too much of something, whereas some other similar casual vegetarian restaurants have a little more chef’s artistry in what they present and deliver…that having been said we’ll definitely be back.
