VegeNation

Great delicious food! I went with my sister who is not a vegetarian and even she loved it! Great friendly staff. Definitely coming back

It’s always nice going to a restaurant and ordering anything off the menu without having to worry about what might be in it! With that said, my SO and I ordered whatever we were craving. It was time to indulge!
The atmosphere of Vegenation is great. We’ve got the trendy, industrial interior with cute knick knacks hung on the ceiling and some green accents to remind you that you’re eating plant-​food. And the best part, plenty of sunshine!
As for the food, I’m going to come right out and say it: I fell in love with the bao buns! I liked them so much, we took another to-​go. The sushi is refreshing and makes for a great appetizer. If I wanted, I could have eaten 4 orders worth as a meal. The mushroom pizza is a very comforting treat; my SO and I do like shredded Daiya. I realize it’s a hit or miss for people, but we enjoy it as well as most other plant-​based cheeses.
Lastly, do yourself a favor and get a brownie sundae. This dessert will make you all kinds of happy! It offers so many different flavors that work well together: a fudgy brownie, creamy vanilla and chocolate ice cream, crunchy walnuts (?), and fresh fruit!
Overall, VegeNation is a great place to dine for everyone! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

I love what this place is all about! All the herbs and I think most of the vegetables are grown locally. The food really feels clean. It’s not something that you often find in Vegas.
I got the breakfast tofu scramble. It had lots of spices (it reminded me of Indian flavors) and was served with a side of siracha and some homemade corn tortillas. It was a yummy fusion of flavors and I will definitely be back to try more of their meals!

The best vegan restaurant in Vegas! Everything is soooo good! It’s not just generic boring vegan stuff. They’re very creative with ingredients and the mixture of all the flavors combined in a dish.

Went on Saturday 1−30−16 around 7PM. This restaurant is located on Carson between Glutton & Zydeco. The ambiance is hip yet casual and the waitresses look like typical hipster vegans with their multi-​colored hair and septum piercings. I quite like their living plant wall and plants hanging over the tables.
.
$ 42.62 got us some spaghetti and meatballs for the boy, an orange smoothie, a greek salad, a dumpling appetizer, and a quesadilla.
.
$ 6.00 Orange burst smoothie– Consists of orange, carrot, ginger, turmeric, and pineapple. It is served in a cute mason jar which is appropriate because it tastes just like a scented candle.
.
Sadly they were all out of the «save the tuna» vegan sushi so we had to settle for the My Little Dumpling appetizer for $ 6.95. The steamed shiitake & spinach dumplings were served in an adorable bamboo steamer basket. I very much enjoyed these. They are served with chopsticks and a tasty soy-​based dipping sauce.
.
$ 10.95 Muchas Gracias– Organic sweet potato quesadilla with black beans and chipotle crema. Husband quite enjoyed this. It was served very hot and fresh.
.
$ 10.95 Greek salad– Has feta, kale, romaine, red peppers, green peppers, onions, vinagrette, olives, and oddly enough– tortilla chips. I found the tortilla chips to be out of place in a greek salad but I enjoyed the vegan feta cheese more than I thought I would.
.
$ 7.00 Chocolate tacos– Delicate crunchy pastry shell with chocolate goop, chopped strawberries, coconut, more mystery goop on top, and HUGE PIECES OF ROCK SALT… like the kind you use to make ice cream! I liked everything but the ginormous hunks of salt, which, according to our waitress and the chef, are supposed to be in there. I sincerely hope nobody loses a tooth eating one of these. The waitress was nice enough to take it off our bill.
.
That’s alright because I didn’t have «mushroom» in my tummy for dessert anyways. I should also mention that they wanted us to wait 20 minutes and we had to ask if they’d ‘lettuce’ sit on the terrace. They did not ‘carrot’ all that we had no utensils or napkins the entire time we were there. Overall I’m glad to have ‘bean’ there but ‘olive’ myself and my wallet too much to go back. Peas!

This is hands down the best Vegan place to eat here! Everything on this is menu is fresh and whole food, no processed soy based faux meats (even though tasty).
I have had breakfast here, and lunch, and both times I loved what I got. The place is so clean and full of plants, and artwork, and the staff has always been very knowledgeable and nice. Parking can be a pain, but it’s downtown.
So, for breakfast I got the waffle which was super tasty, and it came with a berry sauce that normally I would leave alone but this stuff was great. For Lunch I got the mushroom sliders and nearly died from the flavor blast! These were not your normal dry, ketchup ladled sliders that we find in most places who serve them, these were so tasty! I also had the Choco Tacos for dessert, but be warned there are some big chunks of sea salt on them, but it is so good.
This place is great for anyone who is vegan, vegetarian, or looking for a tasty meal.

My first impression of VegeNation was during the initial stages of construction and I was not pleased with Clark Street’s most recent renovation. The branding looked terribly out of place with cartoonish and goofy signage and I was disappointed in the decision to give beautiful and historic mid-​century modern storefronts a lackluster facelift inconsistent with the architecture of our lovely neighborhood.
If you can get past the sloppy branding I would recommend stepping inside and trying some vegan fair. Once inside, the décor is much more trendy and colorful with a great local vibe and chilled out ambience. South facing picture windows provide for great people watching and catching rays of that glorious Vegas sun. It’s a great atmosphere for grabbing a table alone to catch up on reading and writing as well as for meeting friends and lingering a while.
I’m quite pleased to FINALLY have vegan choices here in my neighborhood. In a culture filled with comfort food, heavy eats, and meat biased menus, VegeNation is a great departure from the Vegas standard. Well done, Downtown! Flexitarians everywhere in our community are rejoicing.

Such a cute atmosphere. There is (i believe) 2hr parking right across the street. I ordered pick up for the east west tacos, next time ill have them double the tacos shells. Otherwise, delicious.

First time here tonight ordered loved the save the tuna.
Blessings and live for 2016

Veggie Nation is located in Down Town Las Vegas on Carson St. There is parking on the street, but you have to pay for it. This place is one of the best vegan restaurants that I have been to. I would recommend this place even if your not a vegan. Everything here was excellent.
We started out with some fair trade organic coffee. It was served in a manual coffee press that contained about four cups. I also liked that they had almond milk and raw stevia for my coffee.
Appetizers:Bao Bun and Save the Tuna Roll.
**The Bao Bun contained some tofu, spinach, mushrooms, and an amazing sauce. Excellent!!!
**Save the Tuna is a roll that is made with veggies and purple rice. Excellent!!!
Entrees:
Veggie Nation Burger — Excellent!
Muchas Gracias /​Quesada — Excellent!
Ellen DeGeneres — three veggie tacos. The shells consisted of collar green leaves. Excellent!
The total bill was $ 72.00 for 4 entrees, 3 apps, and coffee. It is reasonably priced and well worth the money and the drive.

So glad to have found this great veggie place near Container Park! Delicious food and fast. Our servicer was so good at his job. Ian was our server. We’ll eat here add again!

Best best best vegan place ever! Each and every dish that I tried here was so amazing that I went back to this place the next day too. It was a cute little place with good ambience.
We tried
Appetizers —
Asian soft buns (good)
Dumplings (good)
Entrees —
Gracias muchas (best ever. Must try!)
Ravioli (excellent)
Jackfruit tacos (excellent)
The waitress was so good that she offered water to-​go without even being asked. I would love to go back to this place and highly recommend it. Love the flavors and unique taste in each of their dishes.

Visited this part of town to check out Container Park, checked Unilocal for restaurants and found Vegenation, which is right across from the park.
We had the sushi, meatball sub, sweet potato quesadilla, spaghetti & meatballs and some sort of curry scrambled tofu. Child felt the meatballs were too spicy to eat (he’s picky, however). Sushi was colorful, beautifully presented and pretty good. The meatball sub was pretty good as was the sweet potato quesadilla. The smoothies were well received. The lemonade had chia in it, which one of the kids didn’t care for.
We sat at the community table which was cool. The atmosphere is great. They had live music during our Sunday afternoon visit. Music was good & not too loud to enjoy conversation.
Glad we found it, best meal we’ve had thus far in Vegas. We’ll be back on our next trip.

While the food is amazing (get the Save the Tuna), I have to deduct a star for the takeout container. What kind of self-​respecting vegan joint packages up your leftover quinoa in #6 plastic?

WOW!!! We were in a cab on the way to Atomic and just happens to pass this place and think we should check it out. So the next day we did and boy was it worth the wait!
We stopped by at 2:30 on a Sunday to see the brunch crowd (and brunch menu) finishing up. That included some tasteful live music going on in the corner. But enough about the scene, I need to dish on the food!
I had the Tamale and we split the Mexican hummus for an app. Too much food and too good! I was blown away by that alone.
Then came the mains. I had spaghetti and «meat“balls while she had the Vegi Phó.
Mine was so authentic that I bet most people wouldn’t know it wasn’t meat unless you told them and tasty as heck too. Hers was the size of Texas and she loved it as well.
Very worth the wait, good prices, awesome food. CHECK IT OUT! They weren’t voted in the top 10 of the country for nothing, don’t miss your chance.

Okay, I’ve been here twice now — once for lunch and once for breakfast.
First, the décor is gorgeous. I absolutely love the set up, the decorations, the plants, the tables, everything. It’s beautiful in there. Next, I love that everything is local, organic, fair trade, etc. Both servers we’ve had have been some of the friendliest, most enthusiastic servers I’ve ever had. You could tell they LOVED working there and loved the food. Unfortunately, I don’t remember either of their names but the service and atmosphere are absolutely five stars worth. And very clean and lots of parking.
But, most importantly, the FOOD. So, I’ll admit, the breakfast was just okay. I had a chocolate bomb smoothie, I think that’s what it’s called and that was really flavorful and delicious. The french toast was just okay but didn’t taste very french toasty, if that even makes sense. The bread that they used was incredible though.
I also got the tofu scramble and was a little disappointed. I thought the fennel was too strong and there wasn’t that much tofu. The potatoes were good. Have no idea why the corn tortillas were there, wasn’t expecting that. It also came with some fruit, so there was a lot of food and it was okay but not outstanding. My biggest complaint is really just that the tofu portion was so small and a bit flavorless because all I could taste was the fennel. I’d still come back and try some of the other dishes. It’s good, solid VEGAN breakfast food made with integrity and compassion for a reasonable price and generous portions. Oh and the coffee was really good too! We had so many cups on the counter lol. We couldn’t even finish everything and the waitress gave us to-​go cups which was very nice.
Anyway, the time we came for lunch was really good. We had sushi, the dumplings, pizza and something else but now I can’t remember but this was awhile ago. Affordable, delicious, fresh and beautiful. The food is really colorful and gorgeous to eat. I wish I could say more but to be honest, I ate lunch here a few months ago and forgot but I do remember really liking everything!
Another reviewer said that this place is still learning and I’d say that’s a fair review. Like I said, this is solid, good, food but it does seem like something is just a little bit off. They’re new and still perfecting everything so I’m sure it’ll come together better but this is a really amazing, impressive start.

Having been a vegetarian for 8 years, this is by far one of the best vegetarian restaurants I’ve ever been to! My friend and I started with the «My Little Dumplings.» Holy moly these were so good! I could’ve eaten 3 orders! I ordered the Downtown Tony and my friend had the Muchos Gracias. Both were phenomenal! Not greasy, great spices and seasoning, and came out at the perfect temperature. Very hardy and filling food too!
Our server was very friendly and informed us about how everything was local and plant based. This is definitely worth checking out if you’re into trying something new!

Goodness… what can I say that others already haven’t, except this place is absolutely awesome!!! Fun, creative menu with food that will knock your socks off! Fast, friendly service with a smile and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
Started with Save the Tuna… love the forbidden rice. Perhaps it’s just the name that makes it so special or the beautiful color? Next we shared the portobello sliders (forgot the name;) and the East meets West Tacos. Both were prepared gorgeously and had a taste to match the look. The only thing I wasn’t completely crazy about was the potato wedges served with the sliders, they were just ok. Overall I’m just really excited to go back and try everything else!

I’ve had this place bookmarked for awhile but finally stopped in this past Saturday since I was in the Downtown area at a decent hour after the Alibi show & Loren F. – whom I «met» virtually from the YEE at Brio – had recommended it.
Save the Tuna was definitely the best thing I tried. ⁵⁄₅ for this one. For anyone who is from NYC or has visited, it is very similar to something you would find at Beyond Sushi. I have been searching high and low for something like Beyond Sushi in the west coast so this was a pleasant surprise and the photos of this dish was actually the reason I bookmarked them to begin with. I could probably have 2 orders of this by myself.
Bao Wow was really good as well, super flavorful and a nice take on the typically meat filled baos they offer at places like BaoHaus. It was just a tad too salty but not unbearable. ⁴⁄₅
East West Taco — ordered this primarily solely because it was highlighted on Unilocal /​by other Unilocalers and BBQ Jackfruit sounded interesting /​unique. It was definitely good and something different but not my favorite dish as it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I like to keep the sweets with dessert and my entrees savory. ³⁄₅
Hot Tamales — the sauce is yummy but the remainder is pretty bland and dry otherwise so once you finish the top, the rest is hard to scarf down. Maybe try mixing it first and/​or asking for extra sauce on the side? ²⁄₅
Service was super friendly, décor was cute, and bathroom was clean! So overall ambiance was ⁵⁄₅

My friend and I shared a FANTASTIC meal at VegeNation! In Los Angeles, we are spoiled with the best vegan restaurants, and we were totally wowed by our meal here! The «Real Food Daily» of Las Vegas. Please expand to LA! I would come here all the time. Big portions, wide variety, delicious food– and prices are reasonable (unlike RFD).
I stumbled across VegeNation on Unilocal,and loved how their website described them as passionate about preserving the environment, and creating delicious food for health. Their chef, who worked in well-​known NY restaurants, began experiencing health problems, went vegan, and decided to create a vegan restaurant with all his healthy creations. (Interestingly enough, this is the same story of another vegan chef, Eric Lachesseur, the classically-​trained French chef who opened Seed Kitchen in Venice). Their menu and website looked really interesting and FUN, with funny named dishes, with some of the most popular items of different cuisines– tacos, bao, quesadilla, tagine, sushi, etc. I told my friend about this place, and she said she already knew about it and had been wanting to come here– perfect!
The day we came, there was a chicken and waffle special! It looked amazing and decadent, but we decided to pass on it. The décor is casual and made pretty with plants, including a plant wall. I ordered some coffee, even the coffee is local– the restaurant uses local ingredients as often as possible. We started with the Bao Wow and the Save The Tuna sushi, the bao might be my favorite thing here! I haven’t had bao since going vegan, or vegetarian even, over 5 years ago. What a treat!
For our meal, we ordered the Muchas Gracias sweet potato quesadilla, and the Ellen DeGeneres collard wraps. The wraps were delish, but the quesadilla was the real star.
For dessert, we had the chocolate tacos, which were inventive, but my least favorite thing here. It was all about the presentation, with a pastry outside in a taco shape holding chocolate pudding, with berries. I didn’t think the pastry was that great, and the salted caramel was too salty for me. I think there was a brownie sundae on the menu that I would try next time instead.
VegeNation is such a gem, and I will make this a must-​stop on all my future Vegas trips. VegeNation would really do very well in LA, I think. It’s rare when you find the combination of delicious, healthy, local food in a wide variety, with fun décor, beautiful presentation, nice people, fun environment and specials (DJ’s and live music sometimes!), reasonable prices, that takes measures to protect the environment. What’s not to like?! Only the distance from where I live ;)
Bonus: there are some great outlets 5 minutes away in a cab– vegan food + shopping is a fun, mellow Vegas day in my book!
