Crossroads Kitchen Review

The truffle potatoes are EVERYTHING! Great food and great ambiance. Portions are light but it makes it an ideal place to split dishes and try multiple options. Service from start to finish was impeccable. Highly recommended.

Very unpleasant experience happened today. When we came in, we were offered a table by the cafe s staff, but in 20 min the waitress in directive command tone told us to change the table because the owner is coming and lives to sit here, at this table .
Good food is so much not enough. This situation spoiled our day at all. Needless to say, we will never come here again.

I received a pizza that is approximately 9 x 6 for which I was charged about $20. No pizza is worth that money. Very very disappointed in the deceptive pricing.

Love this place!! I have been here several times, and it has always been great. I like to try new things, and each time the food has been consistently good. I especially love the kale caesar salad (so simple but delicious), meatball pizza, and spaghetti carbonara. I have only come here for dinner, but would love to try their lunch menu!

Best chocolate chip pancakes. Their Benedict's and french toast are eh.... Price is really high.

A client of mine went here and is from The south and said the fried chicken was better than any real fried chicken he has ever had.

Gourmet vegan,they take it to a whole nother level!

Not someone that normally eats vegan food and wasn't even aware it was vegan food. I still can't get over why there is a need to call vegan food by the item it is trying to imitate. For me that just leads to let downs. Food was delicious and that is all that truly matters though. Would definitely recommend this place.

Clean simple nice spot, good food and I saw Travis Barker.

I came all the way from Texas to experience Crossroads. I was definitely not disappointed! Bradley went out of his way to make my birthday special and the food was so on point. The chef even signed a cookbook for me. Had to go back 2 days later for the brunch all I can say is them Chicken and Waffles tho. :)

This place is so good! You don t even realize it s Vegan. Definitely recommend for brunch

Amazing delicious unique foods and combinations! Service is fantastic, too!

Awesome experience.
Very upscale, Hipster yet very welcoming atmosphere.
The staff are very very friendly and take every step to make your experience fantastic.
The guy that helped me, cant remember his name was The sweetest server ever. The food comes as a very small fancy portion so you may have to order a few things. Bread Plate was gross but the soup was good but honestly, and completely honestly I make the same thing in my blendtec blender (cauliflower brisk) not really impressed, the artichoke "oysters" were interestingly great, I also ordered the Parpadelli Bolonese ( I suck at spelling italian words) very very good but basically one or two long noodles and that was it. Great wine selection though i had the Prankster beer, very nice.
The food is expensive for the portions but its sort of the scheme of the restaurant. you go there for the experience and the palate orgasm. Definitely the only uber fancy Vegan restaurant I know. I had so many forks on the table I didnt know what to do with them.

A+ service, A+ food

Very bad experience. Also, read through the reviews, you will notice a trend; super rude service, but good food. Why is this tolerated by management?
We booked in advance as two parties because we did not want a set menu (if you have 8 people you must have a set menu) and we didn t mind sitting at 2 tables. Some people had been there before so they requested the booths at the front for us. It was noted in the reservations. We went at 545 on a Wednesday so we didn t think this would be hard. We walked in after a special day (people flew in from NYC and drove up from Newport Beach) of wedding dress shopping and the restaurant was empty. When seating us, they refused to sit us in the same room because we should have had a set menu at our size party . I get that, but we were at two separate tables, we figured since the restaurant was open, why not seat us next to each other? They literally refused and were SO RUDE and petty and forced us to sit in separate rooms, punishing us like 5 year olds. Also they said they had no note saying we requested the booths, no apology. Seriously??? You re in hospitality, that is crazy to me. If the restaurant was full I d understand, but these people need to get over their weird power trips.
The server wasn t much better. So pretentious when we asked for mushrooms to be added to a pasta. Scoffed at us and said we can t do that; we do not do that a few times. Again, I get that restaurants sometimes don t do substitutions or additions; there is a polite way to say that.
The nail in the coffin was they doubled 3 items we ordered so our bill was way higher than it should have been. We almost didn t notice, but one person thought it seemed high. If you d seen the menu prices you know adding three more is significant. Again, no apologies. I would love to go back because the food was really good, but honestly can t see myself supporting a place where people act this way.

By far my favorite vegan restaurant in Los Angeles! The menue is super abstract, the presentation of the food is exceptional, and the service is great. The portions are small and the prices are high, however, it's a great to treat yourself or go on a date.

I liked the food...but why can t I just get a burgers whenever wherever???? That s some B.S

My fav vegan restaurant in LA. Everything in the menu is delicious

Great food. I really enjoyed my meals here. I had to drive way out of my way to get here and it was worth it.

I came here for my birthday last week and was a bit nervous because neither of my parents are vegan but the server was great with suggestions and questions! I do have to mention that he asked if I was old enough to drink so I went to get my ID out but he was already starting to walk away only to glance and not say HBD :(
Everything else was excellent!

Good but hard to find parking , had to cross the roads to get to this kitchen

I am vegan and expected much more especially for the price and the little portion. The taste was all right but nothing amazing.

Tasty. But most OUTRAGEOUS pricing. Ordered the vegetable lasagna. Very small dish, tiny even. Like an appetizer size. $25.60?? Kind of insane.

DO DELICIOUS! This was my birthday dinner and they went above and beyond. The food was spectacular, atmosphere was energetic, and overall it was a fabulous experience.

What a beautiful vegan restaurant!! I stopped by for dinner because I had heard amazing things about this restaurant, and I wasn t disappointed. Delicious rich flavors exploding in my mouth. The vegan oysters were my favorite dish. I will order that as an appetizer every time I m there. That s the second picture in this review. The potatoes were good but the eggplant dish was better. Just enough spice but not too much. I had the sausage and vegetables, which were great. The sauce was amazing. I m excited to try one of their pasta dishes next time, and there will definitely be a next time. The atmosphere was beautiful. Lots of glowing lights, and wine racks. Their main room had lots of red, and rich browns with pretty lights. It was too busy to snap a picture without joining someone else s experience, so I just enjoyed the view on the way out. Tip: Get the oysters. I doubt you ll be disappointed. I didn t see parking so take a LYFT.

This place is ludicrously expensive given the quality of food and portion size. The only reason to go here is if you have the unfortunate pleasure of dating a vegan.

One of bestcVegan restaurants we've eaten at. Excellent service

Crossroads Kitchen is exceptiona dining!! I accepted the invitation with skepticism as I typically devour meat. The ambience is relaxed, inviting & the brunch price point is excellent. The vegan brunch menu was DELICIOUS. We sampled multiple selections from eggs benedict (void of eggs), waffles n chicken ( zero chix) kale salad with crispy chicken (none) heavenly pasta & broccoli spears with Blackberry Mimosas and the best cup of java. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Holy moly! This place is a vegan s dream. The food is delicious; all the flavors melt perfectly in your mouth. My goal is to return and sample everything at least once. Pictured is the Crossroad s Benedict and French Toast.

Food is amazingly delicious, excellent service, nice ambiance and great location. One of the top Vegan restaurants in LA.

This was our first time here and the food was amazing. I am vegetarian and my husband is not and we both loved the food. We will definitely be coming back!

Walking into this restaurant you would think it was a luxurious steak house a kin to a Morton s. The staff friendly, decor chic, and the setting and seating very cozy. The menu would match any 5 star dining experience. The food and presentation were out of this world and for 3 1/2 hours I forgot I was eating all plant based creations! Amazing!! Worth every penny! Order everything on the menu!!

Super Sexy Vegan Resturant
Reservations Recommended!

2nd time back.
1st - sat at the bar
2nd - with reservations

The Staff is incredible.
This is a real dining experience!

A must!

This place needs to teach other restaurants how to be staff.

From waiting until the appeizter is finished before bringing out the main.

It's a flawless system.
It was nice to go out and enjoy a real dining experience ... I'm half way through and haven't spoken on the food.

The cheese platter is great, I strongly advised having your waiter inform you on what is what.

The menu is in another language haha

The risotto is mmmm. Yummy

Everything is plant based and worth crying about.

Enjoy!

Most amazing Vegan Food I ve ever had! Plus, I found out Travis Barker is the owner, so it s now my favorite resturaunt in LA.

I'm not vegan and was hesitant to come here at first, but during my stay in LA I went here twice! This place is absolutely delicious. I would skip desserts though. They're ok but for me personally, it wasn't as tasty as I'm used to.

Great brunch, memorable. Excellent desserts. Service is mostly excellent. Dinner had a lot of mushrooms on the menu.

Food was very good but I'd recommend taking it to-go just to avoid all the men that appear to be "managers". First being told that we don't need to go inside to check in for our reservation even tho everyone else was doing so. Then finally being told to leave because "we have other reservations that need your table". We were told an hour and thirty minutes was our time limit. So why are you telling me to leave at 57 minutes in. The best part was that we were waiting for our cards to come back. We were about to leave. I can definitely say that I won't be dining in ever again because they don't deserve my tips. Frankly, unless they keep their white men in suits in line, I won't be back at all.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Olive Los Angeles! This place makes me so happy that it exists because I can eat almost everything in this restaurant and not have an allergic reaction. The food here is outstanding, one-of-a-kind, and out of this world! You can get the pasta dish that has an egg yolk on it, and it is not an egg yolk. You can cut into it and the yolk pours all over the pasta and it is not animal fetus. It is only plant material and extremely delicious! The chefs here really take care and preparation into what they are serving you. The display, presentation and flavor pallets are to-die-for! I went here for my birthday because it is the best!

Didn t know this place was vegan after eating here a few times. Food is amazing. Cool staff too!

Excellent service and an (ironically- absolutely not so) killer menu. Came because of Travis Barker's stake in the game, but left an absolute believer in vegan cuisine.

LOVE this place! Amazing drinks and amazing vegan food.

Best homemade vegan vegan that help ensure an amazing lasagne everytime.

I can't say enough good things about Crossroads. It is an outstanding restaurant. The service is excellent and friendly and prompt. The food is exquisite, even if it is for a brief lunch. I have been vegan for 7 years and have never seen a menu quite like Crossroads. Do not miss eating at this excellent restaurant! It's worth the trip from anywhere.

Most of all I liked Broccoli Di Cicco. The most delicious dish I've ever tasted! I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks to the executive chef!

Very nice interior! Loved the food as well. Service was 8/10

Wow! Chicken and waffles were amazing. Actually, everything was. I don't like vegan food, and I will go back here, often.

The impossible burger was good, but not at all bleeding.

The "chicken parm" is one of my favorite foods on the planet. Im not even close to being vegetarian either. Ive been 6-7 times snd everything we've had is amazing. The cocktails and mocktails are great too. Perfect for date night, or a special dinner with friends.

Great staff.. great food.. you wouldn't know you're not eating meat!!!

Loved this!! We are not even completely plant based and we thought the food was amazing here. The atmosphere and service is the best for vegan cuisine I ve ever had. I m from Canada and would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone going to LA, plant-based or not :) get the impossible cigars!!

Gourmet vegan food. Uniformly excellent. Their "cheese" platter is a standout. Pricey.

I'm not a vegan, but if I could eat here everyday for the rest of my life I would be the luckiest person in the world. EVERY SINGLE DISH is tah-die-foh, believe me. Everything from the gem salad, to the flatbreads, the pastas (better than some I've had in ITALY), to the coconut dessert -- I wish I were there right now! Oh and amazing tequila list!

Excellent food! The best Buffalo cauliflower wings I have ever had, and the biscuits and gravy were top notch!

Every is sensational!!!!! My non vegan friends brought me because they love it so much AND I constantly questioned "how can this be vegan" because it was that good! Must get the oysters and meatball pizza

Really cool ambiance and great food. The portions are small though.

I'm not Vegan but I would happily eat here anytime. The food is perfectly crafted and the 'meat' dishes are especially amazing for their authenticity. I also loved that they play legit classic rock in the background.

The impossible burger was amazing so good we had to go back again

Tagliatelle is a must! Service sucked but food was amazing!

I came here for my birthday after hearing Kevin Smith and Travis Barker rave about this restaurant on the Joe Rogan podcast- and I'm so glad I did! I got the tempeh piccata and my husband got a mock chicken parmesan. Both were delicious! In conversation my husband mentioned to the waiter that we came for my birthday and the waiter brought me a sundae! It was so sweet. The only picture I have is of the sundae, but rest assured that the food was good and photo worthy, we were just really hungry! We will definitely return the next time we're in LA.

Great Vegan Food, atmosphere and kind and friendly people working there

Delicious food romantic ambiance great location beautiful people

I had the "chicken" and waffles at brunch...WOW! Just WOW! The crepe was amazing as well! Must try vegan spot! WOW WOW WOW!

Good, innovative vegan food. A bit expensive. I appreciate the creativity, but the portions were small. Would go again to try out different things.

My family was more impressed, even those who weren't used to vegan food. I think it might depend on how hungry you are, plus what you order.

A couple months ago I did buy their cookbook, and it's the best vegan cookbook I've ever tried out. I think chefs could learn a lot from Crossroads, and diners have a lot to admire about their creativity when it comes to vegan food. They didn't feel limited by the label "vegan."

I have to stop at Crossroads Kitchen everytime I'm in LA! I drag my omni friends with me and they can't believe it's vegan. Beautiful interior and great menu. Small portions but I think it's worth it. Would definitely recommend the benedict!

So good. I can't get enough of this place! Highly recommend, vegan or not you won't be disappointed.
