Best KPortal Reviews
Great vegan food. Amazing flavors. Excellent service.
Small simple restaurant with good energy and happy patrons upon entering. Excellent fresh and flavorful food. And it’s meatless! Had the pineapple salmon, chicken curry and the chowmein. It was all very flavorful. I could tell everything was freshly prepared. The chowmein looked like it was going to be simple but I was pleasantly surprised when I found it to be packed with flavor. I’ve been wanting to try this place for years. I am eager to go back. Polite, peaceful server was very kind. I asked the table of four next to us about their experience and they were all thoroughly pleased with their meals. It’s great to have a vegan option for dinner and right near the heart of Concord’s downtown area.
I tried the wheat noodle soup with the added "shrimps" that had a great texture. I simply loved the fried drumsticks with the sauce, so good! Happy to see a menu with almost everything vegan. The staff was really nice and helpful. Plus for clean restaurant and reasonable prices.
We’ve been twice. The food was delicious! And the hot tea. Even the meat eaters liked it here!
Salt and pepper shrimp (vegan) was really good. Flavor was nice with a spicy kick. Staff was very accommodating as far as what we didn't want in our food.
Really delicious fresh vegan dishes with amazing sauces. Not a fancy place, but definitely worth returning to. I bought 5 dishes to take back home to SF after my trailrun on Mt. Diablo. I recommend eating here.
100% vegetarian, mostly vegan, mostly tasty (4/5 Green Stars, also).
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.
I’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).

My mom and I loved this place and she doesn't eat vegan. We tried the potstickers, their version of cha cha shrimp. And one of the fried rices. The Thai tea was one of the best I've had and I can't stop thinking about it.
