One of the best Vegan Experiences

I went to Crossroads Kitchen for my birthday a few years ago, and it was definitely an amazing experience. All aspects: food, service, venue are top notch. It's nice to have vegan fine dining restaurants.
My fav dish was the Kale Caesar, but I've heard their Chicken and Waffles are to die for, couldn't try them though cause it was not available at dinner back when I went there.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Pros: Ticks all the boxes.

Best Vegan Dining

One of the best vegan dining experiences you’ll get in LA. I’ve been here twice and both times were fantastic. Truly, you cannot go wrong with anything you order.

Good food, just not the best

Went there September 2018, so take it with a pinch of salt. I was slightly disappointed maybe because I had too high expectations and the prices are a bit higher. Pizza was just ok, the carbonara with the egg were also not top tier Italian food. Concept is good though and the other dishes also fine. Just don't think it's worth the money.

Vegan Date Night

Great food and excellent service! Having a vegan option like this is nice if you want to go out for a date night with your significant other. This was our first time going here; I have heard it was good from a few friends. However, while there are some affordable options, they can get pricey quickly. Setting up reservations was easy through yelp for groups of less than six people. We ordered the five-course meal and had good size portions.

Pros: Great service, Excellent selection, Food is super tasty

Cons: Pricey, Busy location

Everyone knows it’s good, it’s always yum, I wish they weren’t so sold out of stuff the night I was there but I can’t wait to come back. Also, vegan carbonara?!?! R u kidding me ?? Wow!

Good food

So, like the title says, this good is good. However, you have to be a fan of impossible meat. Most of the meat options are via impossible. It's one of those fine dining experiences where you'd eat, and enjoy yourself and say "maybe I can make this". We had a great time three but it was a lot of stuff I personally had done.

Multi-course meal(?!?!)

Finally was able to go here! What a wonderful restaurant! Stoked to see that they’re opening another location in Calabasas.

They serve you food in multiple courses and everyone is encouraged to share.

Cons: Really,REALLY expensive

weekend brunch

didn't have too high expectations going in but left really impressed! The house-made breakfast sausages were crazy good as was the french toast (my (non-vegan) sister said it was the best french toast she'd ever had)! the bolognese was great as well (the sausage in it was amazing too). The khachapuri was what i was looking forward to most and it was good but the least impressive

Good food but pricey

Great selection of food. But I'm always taken aback with the price for the food. Definitely can get more for your buck at other vegan joints in LA

Fancy vegan place

Awesome vegan food. Everything we ordered was spectacular and I’d definitely go again. The impossible cigars were delightful, as were the truffle potatoes and escarole. I loooved the campanelle pasta, it seemed like such a humble dish but it tasted so fresh and the vegan sausage was delicious.

delicious food, pricy

Update: Went to dinner here with a friend tonight. For appetizers, we shared a mushroom tart and she got stuffed squash blossoms (I opted out bc I don’t do well with fried food). We agreed that the tart is good, very flavorful, but think it’d be better served warm (not cold/room temp). Next, we shared truffled potatoes; I enjoyed the crispiness but it was way too oily for my liking. My friend said she expected a more truffle-y flavor so that was disappointing. Next, we shared a truffle bianco mushroom pizza, which aside from being greasy, was amazing!! So much flavor, even in the crust. Next, we split the squash tortelli dish…meaning we each got 4. The dish is $24 (aka each tortelli is $4). We agreed that it’s good but not for that price. I could totally live with kite hill ravioli from the market for half the price 😆. I know crossroads makes their pasta, which is fabulous, but still doesn’t make me wanna pay that much. Finally, we shared the chocolate rocher dessert. Omg so decadent and rich; half was definitely enough per person. It sits atop edible sugar that looks like bubble wrap 😆. Definitely get this and the pizza (btw it leaves at the end of the month bc it’s their winter menu, so get on it).


I had a very nice bday dinner there tonight. I got the eggplant filet, something I’ve been wanting to try for awhile. It’s very good! I wouldn’t say it reminds me of meat, as some others have said, but it has a smokey flavor and cuts more thickly/densely than you’d expect an eggplant to cut. Impressive! The sauce has great flavor too. Friend got a supreme Sicilian pizza and said he liked it/wouldn’t know it was #vegan if he wasn’t told 👍🏻. For dessert we all shared a carmelized apple & pecan snow globe tart, which was delicious, and came with pear sorbet. Having told the waiter it was my bday, he brought a scoop of ice cream with a candle in it and sang 🥰. Overall, a great evening! Prices are high compared to the portions but I guess that’s fine dining for you.

Fun, creative menu

Most everything I’ve tried at Crossroads was very good. A few items were next level - too bad the menu changes a fair bit. Cool vibe, pricey.

Crossroads

Used to make this my first stop off the plan for the chicken and waffles. They changed something with how they make the waffle so it's not as good as it used to be. Nonetheless the chicken is slappin' and the maple hot sauce is the secret. Hopefully they go back to how the waffle was before. Also, it comes with only half the waffle so you have to tell them if you want the full waffle, which is more money of course. There are some other good things on the menu. The pasta is pretty good and can't go wrong with a burger and shake. Make reservations.

ICONIC. Bucket list item ✅

WOW. What an experience. We drove 40 miles to L.A to visit this pathbreaking, pioneering, trailblazing vegan restaurant. And let me tell you, it was worth it! Not only is the food at Crossroads Kitchen amazing, the SERVICE is what blew us away. 10/10 recommend going out of your way to check this one off your list!

Ambience: 8/10
Sexy, dimly lit, candlelit tables, white tablecloth. But still manages to be casual! It’s pretty noisy inside and the space has an older feel.

Service: 11/10
Omg!! The service is incredibly efficient. Our apps were out almost instantly after we ordered, and the timing/ flow of the food coming out was perfect. Our server had excellent recs about sharing plates and how much to order.

Food: 10/10
We ordered a bunch of plates to share. My favorites, in order of yumminess, were:
1) Artisanal cheese plate: You HAVE TO try this!! The wedge of Camembert-Bleu ‘cheese’ was the most mind-blowing thing. Rind, funky smell, tangy taste, everything. 🤯
2) Calamari: Incredible and scarily like the real thing! My omni husband said he liked it better than real calamari.
3) Spaghetti Carbonara: I know everyone loves this one, and it’s for good reason! It was lush and creamy, with a (terrifyingly realistic) taste & smell of bacon.
4) Housemade Italian sausage: WOW. Super well seasoned and delicious, with a great texture. Must-try!
5) DESSERT: Don’t forget to leave room for dessert! We tried a caramelized apple-pecan snowglobe served with pear sorbet, it was a work of art that we demolished in 2 seconds.

Don’t think twice! Go here😄 #Veganuary

Shared a bunch of plates with a few friends and it was all so good! Would be out of my price range if I went alone or didn’t know prices ahead of time or if I expected to be full but for a finer dining experience this place is wonderful!

Crossroads lives up to its hype!

Crossroads is the best restaurant in LA! Everything about it is of the upmost quality! There is a reason so many people love -it it’s just really good.
Quality!
I used to eat there when I wasn’t vegan and I wasn’t even aware that it was vegan! I just thought it had a really nice menu and great food tasting food!
Now being vegan, I love it even more and it makes sense flavor wise!
The ingredients are the best! All the food is so fresh and of such a great quality! The quality of food is consistent in every menu item- I’ve almost tried the whole menu! You can’t go wrong! The menus are exceptional! From brunch, to lunch and dinner - they have the best options of food and all of it is absolutely exceptional! The service at crossroads is top-notch as well! If you go into the restaurant to eat the food comes out so quickly and your waiter is always very attentive to your needs. They have a great alcoholic beverage menu there as well I really like their margaritas.
It is the best vegan food in LA. It is absolutely worth all the hype it receives.
If you were going for brunch I would recommend trying the breakfast burrito,eggs Benedict,chicken and waffles or chocolate chip pancakes! I recently tried the everything bagel with carrot lox and it was delicious!
If you were going for lunch I would recommend trying the chips and queso, chicken and waffles, mac & cheese, impossible chicken nuggets with steak fries, supreme pizza, the all grown up burger, Bolognese pasta, pasta of the day, and Buffalo oyster mushrooms.
If you were going for dinner I would recommend trying any of the appetizers I like the zucchini blossoms and impossible cigars! I love the kale Caesar salad! I love their truffle potatoes! The entrees I like are carbonara,spicy rigatoni pasta,eggplant fillet and scallopini are really SO good!
For dessert the brownie ice cream sundae is amazing as well as the caramel apple Snowglobe!

You cannot go wrong at Crossroads!

If they are out of some thing they will tell you immediately upon ordering just order something else you can’t go wrong!


Great for people who love pasta - see the dinner menu!

The lunch menu has a lot of different vegan sandwich options!

Best vegan brunch food in LA!

Pros: Excellent and speedy service in restaurant , Great options on all menus! , Chicken and Waffles is on brunch and lunch menu!

Cons: Expensive , Reservations needed for dine in, Usually takes 30 minutes plus for delivery

Always an amazing person experience

A must eat in Los Angeles. The pandemic takeout offerings made life a bit better the past year. The New Year’s Eve dinner should be on every vegans bucket list.

This place truly lives up to all the hype. We tried to sample as much of the menu as possible. They tell you to share plates and order 4-6 between two people but it’s a lot of food. Everything is seriously amazing.
