We were very happily surprised by the food here. We had the beef chow mein, tom kha soup, and orange chicken. Each dish was flavorful with appropriate textures and aromas. The texture for the orange chicken was perhaps the best we’ve ever had. Despite the glaze, the chicken was crispy on the outside and incredibly tender on the inside the tom kha soup was authentically flavored and avoided a common error of over salting. The service was exceptional with the gentleman who helped us being incredibly kind and patient with our questions and coming to our aid anytime he saw a question on our face before we said it out loud. The chow mein as well as the food in general was not oily and notably, the chow mein was crisp with vegetables that were charred to perfection. If you haven’t tried this place or vegan food in general, start here!

I found them using Happy Cow and the reviews were right: this place is great! I asked what are customer favorites and the Chow Mein with “chicken”, noodles and veggies was great. I suspect the veggies were steamed or blanched as they looked and tasted great. Minimal salt and oil are a plus. Price was $14 so really nice. Music was great, too. I will definitely go back there.

I’ve been eating Lotus Vegan ever since I moved to LA in 2009. Currently enjoying a recent favorite—The Cowboy Burger—so flavorful! I love all the curries, the orange chkn, papaya salad, Thai tea—everything is so good. Such a great selection of delicious and fresh food. I’ve never been disappointed. Staff always super nice and very welcoming. And, the pricing is so reasonable! You can’t go wrong with Lotus Vegan. Please stay open forever!

This place has become my go-to Thai restaurant. I keep coming back because the food is consistently amazing, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared every single time. You can really taste the quality in every dish.
Hands down the best Thai food around. So grateful to have this spot nearby.

There was a mixup with my order and Vegan Lotus did not hesitate to make things right! The people are super kind and the food is delicious and feels healthy. Their spring rolls are especially good and I love that as a vegetarian I don’t have to worry about cross-contamination with their frying oil or anything else in the kitchen. There are so many options for a vegan (or vegetarian) to work through!

Love love Lotus Vegan
My favorite and honestly the best vegan spot in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley in North Hollywood, Los Angeles.
It’s Thai American fusion plant based cuisine made with love and care, open for dine in, delivery or takeout. Nothing beats the in-person awesomeness with Elle, her husband working the floor and register, cool staff and mini assistant (their daughter).
They having parking on the side of the building in a huge lot as well as street parking.
For dishes I’m team Curries (Yellow, Pumpkin, Panang), Wraps (Pepper Steak all day), Appetizer/Starters (think drumsticks, wings, satay, potatoes and rolls.
Then menu is stacked for breakfast, lunch and dinner and all of it is served all day. They do have a specially weekend brunch menu that’s fairly new that I’m falling in love with. Just like I’ve been in love with Lotus Vegan since they opened their doors 17 years ago.

This isn’t food that’s trying to be vegan—it just happens to be. And it happens to be amazing.
Absolutely delicious Thai flavors—whether you’re a lifelong vegan, just dabbling, or accidentally wandered in thinking this was your go-to Thai spot (surprise!). You won’t miss a single animal product here, because your taste buds are too busy partying with lemongrass, chili, and coconut to notice.
The ppl working there are warm and full of kindness.
Don’t sleep on the Thia tea which is a green tea with a hint of Jasmine- definitely deserves a cult following 😉

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.

I had never tried papaya salad and it was absolutely delicious and super filling! The hot wings were super good too my non-vegan friend said she couldn’t even tell the difference. I will definitely be eating here again. I highly recommend. Too good to pass up and the vegan menu is the cherry on top.
