Vietnamese Vegan

Overall great choices, every dish had a faux meat though which isn't really ideal. My opinion is extremely salty, but in general good flavor and great service.

Pros: Fast, Great Service, Vegan Meat Options

Cons: Salty, Caters To Family Style

Great food/great service

I'm fairly new to vegan eating. CV has been our favorite place 2 eat out since switching. They accommodate such as "no oil" or "no sugar" requests. The menu is modest and prices $7.95 - $9,95 with $2 option adding salad, rice, Thai ice tea. After reading older reviews here, seems many changes have occurred. I highly recommend this place.

Pros: Very accommodating, Open 6 days/week, Friendly service

Cons: Closed on Wed.

The go to

I love this place. Back when I used to eat beef, it was all about spicy beef noodle soup. I would travel to find a good bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Central Veg has a spicy beef noodle soup that is sweet comfort food to me.

I used to go to Golden Lotus and the menu is nearly the same, but Central Veg has waaaay better service and parking is easier. Also, the staff is way friendly too. Mimi is awesome.

The curry fried rice along with the spicy chicken salad and the jalapeno tofu are among my favorites.

Pros: tofu and seitan wizards, great staff and service, pretty consistent quality

Cons: a bit pricey

Nice people, greasy food.

I was initially excited to find a nearby vegan restaurant. Especially one with such an extensive menu. Very disappointed that our food was swimming in oil. Can't go back......

Pros: friendly, clean, large menu

Cons: greasy, oily

Good Choice

I have found this restaurant to be one of the best in the bay area. The clay pot dishes are excellent, the eggplant with basil the best, and the salad with peanuts is wonderful. It is out of the way unless you live in Oakland or Berkeley but definitely worth a trip. I always bring extra home. If you have special dietary needs they will happily make changes in the dishes when possible.

Pros: excellent food, very friendly staff, good value

Cons: limited space, bad neighborhood
