Decent vegan options

They have a few vegan options such as truffle fries and some Korean bowls. They also have an impossible burger but not sure if it is vegan. But make sure you ask before you order.

Pros: Patio, Food, Dogs allowed in patio

Cons: Add more vegan options

Sweet Chili Thai Veggie Bowl

I came here after seeing other reviews saying they had several vegan options and even a dedicated vegan menu. This is not the experience I had however. I asked our server if they had vegan options and she said she had to confirm with the kitchen, and asked if I had anything in mind. I told her I was looking at the Sweet Chili Thai Veggie Bowl, as that was my preferred option from the Vegetarian Bowls section. She came back and confirmed that the dish I was looking at was vegan, but couldn’t say if there were any other options besides that. I’m still giving this place 3 stars since the Sweet Chili Thai Veggie Bowl was delicious and very well seasoned. The atmosphere here is chill, with exception of the many kids that come with their families and can get loud at times. All in all, I’m not sure if I would recommend this place to vegans given the seemingly limited options.

Few but great options

I had the fried green beans and Korean bbq beef which is tvp. I liked it. Kinda sweet, but all components really tasty.

Pros: Few vegan options, but good, Korean bbq great, Fried green beans yummers

Cons: Not vegan only , Vegan marked vegetarian

Depends on your preference

So the options under their vegetarian selection are actually vegan but not labeled vegan because of the cross contamination. I don’t mind that part so I was relieved that’s all it was. #Veganuary

Pros: Options were delicious

Cons: A little costly

Hello! My name is Tessa and I am a bartender at Oakside. I am vegan & just want to make a correction. Out of the three vegetarian bowls, only two are vegan. The Korean “beef” is made with egg. (So vegetarian not vegan friendly)

Dang.. I don’t think my server knew that… he said it was from the cross contamination. 🥲

Big bear has vegan

Great dinner and cocktail spot in the Village. I went on a Birthday trip with some of my best friends to Big Bear. We took a reccomendation and were happy to find vegan options and killer cocktails.
The service was excellent. And the food high quality. I decided to get the Korean “ beef” bowl my friend ordered the impossible burger and my 3rd friend ordered animal protein. The impossible was really good with avocado added. My bowl was really good. Veggies were cooked perfect, tbe protein had a really good flavorful with a great balance of 5 spice. I enjoyed an old fashioned and a beer since we were walking distance from the cabin. I would totally recommend this as a strong option for a nice dinnner in the mountains.

Pros: Vegan options, Service was great

Cons: Limited options

Hello! My name is Tessa and I am a bartender at Oakside. I am vegan & just want to make a few corrections. Out of the three vegetarian bowls, only two are vegan. The Korean “beef” is made with egg. (So vegetarian not vegan friendly). Also, the brioche bun that comes with the impossible burger is also made with egg so to make vegan, need to do a lettuce wrap or just no bun.

Thank you for the clarification. Our server misinformed our table on vegan options. It’s a little disappointing but I’m not mad, mistakes we’re made. I’m not the type to beat myself up or others over mistakes.

Few but great options

They only have a few ‘vegetarian’ (i think they’re actually all vegan) options but they’re great! I loved the teriyaki chick’n bowl and the koreab bbq ‘beef’ bowl. The teriyaki bowl was unfortunately saturated by the sauce (the rice underneath was soaked) and the waitress offered to give me new white rice I could put my veggies/vegan meat on. It is a fairly large portion so I had some for dinner too! Btw, u gotta check out the store across the street called ‘stupidiotic’. So funny.

Pros: Tasty vegan options, Nice staff, Prime location near village

Cons: Just a few vegan options

Love This Find

Loved this find. We ordered the brussel sprouts and fried green beans for apos and meatless chicken teriyaki bowl with mango margarita. It was delicious and my non vegan family loved their options.

Pros: Lots of vegan/vegetarian options, Options for appetizers/ meal, Outdoor seating with fire pit

Hello! My name is Tessa and I am a bartender at Oakside. I am vegan & just want to make a few corrections. The brussel sprout appetizer is drizzled with a Sriracha aioli sauce (contains dairy) but they are still amazing without & the fried green beans are made with a batter that also contains dairy. (Not vegan)

Thanks for the update! I’ll know not to partake with the green beans again. I raked the aioli off but will know I can order without this trip😋
