Love this place! I got a cheese burger and the super green juice and they were both amazing. The wait is a bit long because only 2 people work here but I don’t care! I’ll wait because food is good

I got the green drink and a Philly cheesesteak. My boyfriend got a fish sandwich, fries and ice tea.
Everything was fine. Wasn’t blown away. Wouldn’t come back.
Green drink was not good. Tasted like a green apple jolly rancher. Boyfriend liked his tea.

I’ve been a vegetarian for a year now and this spot fills my fast food craving on point! I can satisfy my filet-​o-​fish but in a healthier way now :) The star of the show for me is the milkshake. I’m looking forward to trying other things on the menu, which is extensive!

Ordered:
super greens juice– not fresh they use a power and dilute it with apple cider… It’s horrible!
Breakfast burrito– flavorless, tofu quality is pour, there where two very thin peaces of mushrooms
Chili cheese fries okay.
This was around $ 17 and not worth it!
Over all place looks like a dump and the food is pour quality… also they charge you .69 for vegan cheese and they don’t put enough to make it worth the cost. To bad was hoping this place would be at least okay.

And I finally found Orean’s, vegan fast food in Pasadena. Something about that Southern sandwich… I ordered the Texas BBQ Philly with super greens juice to go. They support vegetarianism. Also, the sales of daiya (dairy free, lactose free, casein free, gluten free, soy free & cholesterol free). The super greens juice looks terrible but tastes delicious. My sandwich order’s bigger than my usual meals, but I’m not complaining… sitting on their patio and everything. Lunch looked and tasted great.

Strawberry Shake is disgusting. Came out neon pink and tasted like crushed tums. Was probably made with non dairy creamer, crushed tums, sno cone syrup, and ice. Super duper disappointed and it was almost $ 5.
Their menu said «No Artificial Flavors,» but this is the most artificial shake ive ever had in my life!

Great vegan burgers. Chicken O & Orean’s burger are both delicious. Air fries tasty, but a lil soggy. Overall good, fresh, fast vegetarian options.

Good place for vegetarians, they would be beer. Their drive trough. .drives you crazy, they can’t hear you, and you are not sure if they did. if you use earing aid (as me) you better gets to front windows to order.
Food it’s not really good but good enough to kill hunger.

I rarely give a bad review but I need to for this place. They could easily improve their food and get more business. I hardly ever see customers here because the food just tastes weird. They don’t really understand taste, texture, moisture, sauce amount, etc… if they altered their items to be of higher quality and better taste they will get lots more business

If you are vegan or vegetarian and you need something eat on the go (and do it all drive-​tru style), there is a place for you!
Orean’s is snuggled in-​between all the fast-​food joints on North Lake ave, which fits because they are there to appeal to those seeking fast food, but with a healthier menu.
I have only had a couple things from the menu but so far I have been impressed.
Their Chili burger is so good! It’s filling and it does not hit your stomach like a cement bag.
Their Cheese steak is a must for vegetarian who has been jonzing for a Philly. Damn good!
They have walk up window and a couple seats, but Lake is a very busy street and you’ll likely want to find a nicer place to enjoy you meal or take it home.
I will be back!

I love soy tacos. Get them. I also like Air Fries a lot. «Chicken» nuggets are not too bad, either.
Drive-​through plus few car spots to park on, I guess like 4 vehicles? There’s 2 or 3 small tables outside you can eat on.

My GF is a vegetarian, which makes me a vegetarian sometimes. She wanted to try this place out and after reading the reviews and checking out the site we decided to swing by. I ordered the chili-​cheese dog and an order of air fries, with a root beer float. My GF ordered the chicken nuggets, air fries, and root beer float.
The food was fantastic! The food is fresh and made to order, so give yourselves a few extra minutes. The air fries were some of the best I’ve ever had and the float was epic.
Looks like we are now regulars. I’m looking forward to coming back and sampling more items from the menu.

They closed for a short period while I was living in Eagle Rock, so I hadn’t been back in a while, but I drove by the other day and was shocked to find out they had reopened!
The menu hasn’t really changed, which is perfect as far as I’m concerned. Get a rice shake and you won’t regret it!

It’s a drive-​thru for vegan food! A drive-​thru! For vegan food! The only one of its kind I’ve ever seen, having lived in several major cities and been all over the place for vegan food. So it gets five stars. I like vegan food, but sometimes I’m lazy. And often, I have a baby in the car with me, and it’s soooo much easier to not have to lug him out of the car, especially if he’s cranky.
I’ve had the chili cheese fries and a chocolate peanut butter shake. The fries were pretty good for vegan food. The shake was actually delicious. I know it’s kind of hard to screw up a chocolate shake but it was really extra good.
Definitely coming back soon!

This was our first visit in a couple of years and our first since their remodel.
The tables and benches new. Still no bathroom but you can use the one at the McDonalds across the street.
We were happy to see that the menu seemed to be unchanged
African burrito – black eyed peas, lettuce, vegan cheese and African salsa=
Chicken sandwich– vegan «chicken»
French Fries — Air fried… crispy and yummy
BEST root beer float ever. Root beer was perfectly carbonated and the vegan ice cream perfect.
Wish the Bay Area had a place like this. We have some wannabes but nothing comparable.

Strangely good but also kinda greasy vegetarian food. NOTE: Far better than KFC or McD’s, it’s menacing neighbors.

I dropped by for some vegan fries as I was very hungry and they were nearby. the guy at the window was still as unsocial and rude as ever. The fries weren’t even good.
What really chaps my hide about this place. is that they are supposed to stand for ethical concerns, non-​violence towards animals but they drove me away from their lack of friendliness.
I am also disturbed that only a few days after I wrote my review on their vegan root beer floats, they DOUBLED the price on them. The best thing about them was the taste, the amount of soy ice cream, and the price.
It left me with nothing but to leave this atrocious nightmare. Honestly I dont know why they re-​opened. Pootos!

Orean’s is a vegan fast food restaurant. It’s right across of KFC. Their chicken and beef options are imitation meats.
I came here for dinner, parked right on the street. We orders the chicken burger, African tostada, air fries, and a strawberry shake. I didn’t try the chicken burger but Alvin did and he broke his braces because the «chicken» was a bit rough. The African tostada was alright, the base were tostada topped with lots of black eyes peas. I had the option of normal cheese or vegan cheese, I picked the regular version. The air fries were a bit soft, probably because it was baked. I didn’t like the strawberry shake, it was artificial flavoring.
Disclaimer, I’m not an vegan. But the food could have taste a lot better in my opinion.
