Whether you strictly adhere to veganism or just started experimenting with a plant-based diet recently, you’re likely to love what the San Fernando Valley has to offer. With LA ranked the second-best city for veganism in the nation, per a recent study, rest assured these vegan restaurants are worth your attention.
Vegan Joint
Thai-American owner Rattana P. started the Vegan Joint in 2006 as a one-off, family-owned, and -operated restaurant in Culver City, later bringing her tasty cooking to Woodland Hills.
This casual cafés menu — comprised almost entirely of non-GMO and organic products — offers an extensive collection of vegan-based Thai staples and fresh, veggie-centric takes on standard American fares.
The Vegan Joint serves all-day breakfast, including options like create-your-own omelets, breakfast burritos, and vegan sausages. In addition, this versatile eatery offers catering for in-store pickup or delivery.

The entire menu is 100% vegan and gluten-free, giving strict vegetarians and people with gluten sensitivities the freedom to enjoy foods like pizzas, hamburgers, bratwursts, burritos, and quesadillas — most of the dishes also come in low-carb, paleo-friendly, and keto-friendly varieties. Based in Northridge, Leo’s Superfood Vegan Café is conveniently located near Woodland Hills.
