The Vegan Joint Los Angeles

Thai twist on vegan food

""The Vegan Joint" in Culver City is a popular neighborhood spot that has frequent and loyal customers. I typically order a lentil burger and Thai Iced Tea."

This is a total neighborhood spot! Locals are constantly coming and going, eating in, ordering to go, or requesting delivery. The Vegan Joint stays so busy that they have even opened a few more locations!

The first Vegan Joint was established in 2006 in Culver City. At that time there were not many vegan options in the neighborhood. As a regular, I became acquainted with the owner and staff. The owner is an absolute sweetheart and a perfect example of working hard to achieve your dreams.

I typically order a lentil burger (photo featured) and Thai Iced Tea. There are also a ton of spicy options.  For breakfast lovers, breakfast is served all day; for organic food options, the wholewheat buns and tofu are organic; and for those looking to save money, there is an app where you can earn points and receive coupons!

You can now find The Vegan Joint in Woodland Hills, Hollywood, and Downtown L.A. Valet services are provided on Fridays and Saturdays from 17:00-23:00 at the Culver City location.

Free Wi-Fi.

Minimum of $10 for credit card use.
