Delicious, wide selection and huge portions! - Edit
I love that the non vegan (vegetarian) options are labeled as such - oh how I wish for a world where that was the norm. The portions are giant and there are so many choices!! The fried rolls and Vietnamese crepe were packed with flavor and come with lettuce and a real great dipping sauce.

My absolute favorite - Edit
I could literally eat anything on the menu. I think my wife and i have tried every item (that is vegan) and we have not had a bad dish. Special shout out to the dumplings, rolls and thai fried rice! Everything is so good and amazing though, their rice dishes, noodle dishes and soups and clay pots!

Pros: Mostly vegan and will do low oil on request
Cons: Not 100% vegan , Takeout containers not very eco friendly

100% vegetarian, mostly vegan, mostly tasty (4/5 Green Stars, also). - Edit
Veggie today is pretty casual and brightly lit, so it has more of a café atmosphere than an intimate restaurant. We had four items and thought that two or three of them were good. The foo young appetizer was a highlight – it was large but not as heavy as other versions that I’ve had in the past, and had good flavor and a little crunch. The wonton soup was mixed: good flavor in the soup but maybe too heavy on salt (I was so thirsty after it!) and the wonton wrappers were a bit thick (but the filling was good!). The caramelized vegan chicken had good flavor and a nice chewy texture but the dish could have done with a bit more spinach (to justify being called a “bed of spinach” on the menu). The tamarind beef was our least favorite – it was just too sweet for both of us. But other people seem to love that dish so don’t let me put you off ordering it; perhaps it’s just me – I’ve rarely found a vegan “beef” dish that I love. Vegan chicken (or just good-old tofu) always seems like a better bet. Both of the protein dishes were pretty light on veggies (esp. the tamarind beef) so bear that in mind when ordering. I’d like to go back and discover some favorites.
Read moreI’m also giving Veggies Today 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons:
• As stated on their menu: 100% vegetarian.
• Almost all items on the menu are vegan (check with your server). The wonton soup is specifically labeled on the menu as not vegan so I think there are only a few dishes that are not vegan.
• As anyone who’s trying to go plant-based knows, restaurants where you can order almost anything on the menu are a blessing for the movement!
• No information about sourcing on the menu (e.g., is the tofu organic?). That’s the main downside for me – I like my tofu to be organic, if possible (rice & veggies too).
• Drinks are provided by Coke (so they could do better there, but they do have tea).
• For people getting take-out, they use standard Chinese take-out boxes and plastic bags (a third area for improvement: compostable boxes and paper bags).

Pros: 100% vegetarian, Mostly vegan also, Some tasty dishes
Cons: No info on sourcing - is their tofu organic?

Great vegetarian spot in Concord - Edit
My partner an I had a nice meal here. The food was reasonably priced and tasted great. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will be back. The menu is almost entirely vegan. The missing star is because they include egg in several of their dishes.

Where are the veggies? - Edit
I love that Concord has this place, but there's too much focus on fake meat and not enough on vegetables. Definitely a guilty pleasure, however!

Try the shrimp - Edit
Wow. Menu reads like a normal meat-eating place. But all the "meat" is vegan. My favorite is salt & pepper shrimp. Crispy crust, delicious sauce. I found a source for their "shrimp," now I want to learn how to duplicate their recipe. I hear the crust is flour & potato starch.
Read morePros: all vegan
Cons: closed Mondays :)

Excellent food, nearly all vegan - Edit
I adore this restaurant! The egg rolls are my favorite anywhere. I always get three orders of them for the two of us. All the flavors, portions, and variety win out, imo, over other restaurants serving the same cuisine (curries, clay bowls, fried rice platters etc). Very friendly and clean atmosphere. One of my go-to vegan lunch and dinner spots.

My Go-To Asian Restaurant - Edit
I love this restaurant. They're fast, friendly, serve delicious food and parking is usually available in front. My husband is a meat eater and he loves coming with me to this family owned restaurant. Our favorites include the chicken drumsticks, salt and pepper shrimp, pho and Thai iced tea (they offer soy milk).

Had an amazing meal. The Vietnamese crepe is incredible and I could get enough of the sea weed salad. Also loved the eggplant/tofu clay pot. Huge portions, all fresh, sweet service and a small bill. What's not too love.

Decent, great price. Vegan has arrived to Concord - Edit
I had lunch here yesterday. I was super excited to go to the only vegan restaurant in Concord. I ordered a tamarind beef and since it didn't come with salad, I also ordered a lotus salad. The tamarind beef was very tasty, not greasy. I liked the shrimp chips too. I just wished the dish had something else apart from the meat. There was a ton of meat and I got bored of just eating the same thing after several bites. The lotus salad was very tasty and served very generously. It was already dressed in a sweet (perhaps a little too sweet), light dressing and came with additional dressing on the side, which I didn't need. I paid less than $20 for everything.
Read moreThe menu has tons of options and many of them include plant-based meats to make the traditional Chinese dishes in the traditional way.
Service - prompt and friendly
Food - tasty, but lacked imagination. Very typical Chinese food, minus the oil (big plus)
Location - parking is challenging
Would I recomend it? Absolutely!!!!
Pros: Variety, Service, Price
Cons: Presentation

Veggie Today AND Tomorrow! - Edit
Yum! My husband and I live in Concord just down the street from Veggie Today and were very surprised when they opened up. I'm not aware of any other exclusively vegetarian restaurants located in Concord, but am so thrilled to have this place so close.
Read moreWe went there for the first time tonight and let me say, we will be back again! They had a deal where if you order four entrees you get a free appetizer. For an appetizer we ordered the drumsticks, then for the meal we ordered the Mongolian Chicken, Vegetarian Crepe, Sesame Eggplant with Tofu, and Curry Tofu with Potatoes. We also ordered two Thai Iced Teas.
Everything tasted great!!! The drumsticks appetizer was delicious and my husband could not believe it wasn't actual chicken! Our favorite entree was the Mongolian Chicken and Sesame Eggplant. The curry potatoes were great and so was the crepe. I could not believe all the fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, mint and leaves of lettuce) that were served with the vegetable crepe. So refreshing!
We left there with so many leftovers, it was nuts! But we were so excited to try several dishes, we over-ordered intending to have leftovers. Portions are generous. We will definitely be back and hope to see this new restaurant thrive in Concord! It really is a gem.
Pros: Fresh, Clean, Delicious!
