Really Average - Edit
One Veg World is the type of place that reminds me of when my dad insisted on going to these ran-down vegetarian places on the weekends for religious reasons where the food was bland and unpalatable, BUT it’s not nearly that bad.
Read moreI had the Supernova Pasta which really doesn’t live up to its name at all. If anything, it left me in a supernova of disappointment. I was hoping for a thick, creamy, carbonara-esque pasta, but it turned out to be diluted and lacking flavor with a few pieces of boiled broccoli…
On the bright side, the cheese cake was pretty good and so was the Thai tea! I would probably stick to the Asian dishes if I decide to visit again (unlikely).

One veg world - Edit
The only reason there aren’t 5 stars is that it is so casual. The staff here is very committed to veganism. They have a lot of information about veganism and a few refrigerated items for sale. #Veganuary

Pass for Us - Edit
The lady taking orders and serving was very friendly and nice.
Read moreMy tastebuds did not like what I put in my mouth. I had the Cauliflower Hot Wings (exchanged the hot sauce for BBQ sauce) and the Orange Chicken. Whatever ingredients were in the batter gave a really bad flavor and consistency. I could only eat a few bites...yuck.
My hubby had the Chicken Burger and though he ate it, he tasted the same unpalatable bitter batter. He said the cheese, lettuce, tomato and bread masked the flavor enough to where he could eat it.
Carrot cake was yummy!
We won't be back...not enjoyable to us.
BTW, the interior was clean, tidy and had a market on one side and seating on the other.
Pros: Clean, Quick service, Tidy
Cons: Terrible flavor, Tasted bad

Best coffee! - Edit
Their Vietnamese coffee is amazing! I love the burgers, cauliflower wings, buffalo ranch fries, supernova pasta w French bread, and marble cheesecake. They have a tiny shop with vegan snacks that I don’t tend to see at big grocery stores. Always friendly, clean, and they always get my order right.

All vegan, good selection - Edit
I love that this place has a variety as far as their menu goes. I honestly created a HappyCow account to review them!!! There was a wait at first, but it gave me time to decide what I wanted. The cashier / server was very nice, and the food was good! I just got something basic but I really look forward to eating here again. It's also giving "vegan corner market" as they have a variety of vegan snacks and kitchen goodies. I would love to sit and eat there next time and really explore their market.

A hidden gem - Edit
Great prices for the quality/quantity! I love that there were vegan products and books too. Such a cute & charming place. The atmosphere is relaxing with the little fountain and plants. Miraculously only found it by being so desperate for food while passing by El Monte.

Vegan World in West Co! - Edit
Total memory lane coming back to One World post my CPP days! Ordered the Endless Chow mein, Spring Rolls, and the Orange Chik’n’ with brown rice. Currently the restaurant is for to-go orders only, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating available nearby. We sat at the wooden benches, it was absolutely lovely basking in the sun while enjoying our late lunch. I was super excited to see some of the same decor from back-in-the-day still up on the walls, like the famous veggie people! It would be awesome to see it update the inside, with cool and/or an updated layout decor (maybe when they start indoor dining again?).
Read morePros: All VEGAN everything, Super friendly staff/personnel , Vegan items in storefront + ordering area

Love it - Edit
I've been coming here since forever. It's a convenient break from the 10fwy traffic when I'm driving from Long Beach to Ontario for Thompson Boxing events. As a response to covid, their dining room is still closed but there's plenty of outdoor seating.

Amazing vegan find! - Edit
I tried their impossible burger and it was very tasty!! The pricing was good and they put in a generous amount of fries, I was also really excited to see the mini vegan market they had in the front. I am a new big fan of this place and highly recommend that you check them out!

Orange Chicken - Edit
The orange chicken is our favorite. My hubby and niece who are not vegan love the orange chicken as well- it’s very tasty. It comes with brown rice and broccoli, but they are nice enough to sub out my broccoli for another steamed veggie. The desserts are always tasty and I love the little grocery sections they have in the restaurant. This comes in handy more often than you think. The staff are always friendly as well.

Nice to have options in the area - Edit
I like some things on the menu, and I don’t like other things on the menu. But this place is awesome and it’s great to have options in the area. Right across from the movie theatre so it has a great location. It’s beautifully decorated inside. I love their desserts, korean tacos, and chicken burgers. Not so much of a fan of their veggie burgers or noodle dishes. Nonetheless, I go here when I’m in the area. 😋 Staff is always extremely friendly as well!
Read morePros: All vegan, Great location, Nicely decorated
Cons: Expensive

First Vegan Restaurant - Edit
This was the first Vegan place to try, and the dish i chose was the Philly cheese steak. To anyone who hasn't tried vegan food or doesn't think that imitation meat won't taste good, i suggest you to try the cheese steak.

Amazing - Edit
First time there was a bit eerie with the whole dark, foresty theme for the restaurant but once I got in and settled down I was immediately glad I did. Food came quickly and the food tastes amazing. The texture of the faux meats and cheeses were so good and I can't get enough.

Pros: Mostly if not all Vegan Options, Doesn't Sacrafice Taste , Looks Amazing
