Avocado toast was delicious but sadly the DO NOT have a vegan menu anymore. - Edit
Staff was really nice and knowledgeable about what items on the menu truly were vegan but sadly very few. Smoked fries are cooked in the same oil as chicken too.

Little Goat Diner - Edit
I have eaten at Little Goat Diner in the past. They have a separate vegan menu, so you need to ask for this. I can’t specifically recall what I got last time, but it was fine. I will say I was never inclined to go back. It is a nice place to go with non-vegans since you have some options, but there are other places nearby that I would recommend over this restaurant for vegan options. It’s definitely very popular with the locals, so make sure to make a reservation or be prepared to stand in line.

Delicious can be enjoyed by all! - Edit
Have a whole separate vegan menu , many choices. My husband and I split bimbambap, vegan chop Chae and the home fries. It was exceptional!! Have chocolate milkshakes for dessert. My Omni family members thought it was great too!

Yes, but..... - Edit
Yes they have a vegan menu, but.....they've merely taken a few of the regular menu items and removed some ingredients to try to make them vegan. Only three of the vegan entree items have any protein source: the kale salad with chickpea fritters and two vegan burgers. HOWEVER, in the fine print (and the server confirmed) the chickpea fritters (and the french fries) are fried in the same oil in which non-vegan foods are also fried. ALSO, the vegan burgers are cooked on the same griddle as the meat burgers. I do not consider that vegan at all, and would not eat any of those. That leaves the other 4-5 vegan entrees which are just vegetables with no protein source. How hard could it be to add some tofu, tempeh or beans? The bibimbop tasted great, but I found the lack of protein in that dish and and the other options really disappointing. So yes, they try to accommodate with a vegan menu, but don't really meet the mark, in my opinion.

Great Vegan Menu - Edit
The restaurant has a dedicated vegan menu with several options including breakfast-y, sandwich-y, and dinner-y options. I had the scallion pancake and it was everything I was hoping it would be. I’ll be back to try other dishes! I have no clue why they wouldn’t post the vegan menu on their website since it seems vegans would be the people MOST likely to go looking for the menu ahead of time. Hopefully they’ll add it.

GREAT OPTIONS for everyone - Edit
Whole separate menu with breakfast and brunch/lunch options. Has a vegan chocolate malt shake. The atmosphere is super cozy, classic diner vibe. Service is friendly and timely, even though I would recommend a reservation.

great! - Edit
Very accommodating to my being vegan with the whole separate menu! Ordered the avo toast and fries and was NOT DISAPPOINTED. One order of their (amazing) fries is plenty for two. Really cool diner atmosphere doesn't hurt either!

Sorry.. Not Impressed - Edit
Yes, they have a vegan menu. But you have to know they offer a vegan menu and you have to ask for it. It's not given out with the regular menus.
Read moreAnd the vegan menu doesn't contain any special items as far as I could tell. It merely lists their regular dishes without the meat. To my mind, it shows that the owner wanted to extend a warm welcome to her vegan guests, which I appreciate, but also shows that she doesn't truly understand vegan food.
To be honest, I would have been impressed with such an effort 5 years ago. But in this day and age vegan diners expect more.

Surprisingly veg-friendly! - Edit
I live fairly close to Little Goat Diner but I never would have guessed they're so accommodating to vegans, so I didn't try it until yesterday. There's a separate vegan menu that can be requested. I tried the vegan burger with tomato relish and shredded cabbage. The burger looks like it was composed mostly of chickpeas, a grain (brown rice?), and veggies (broccoli, carrots, mushrooms). It was really refreshing to have a veggie burger made out of... veggies! The waitress very helpful suggested smoked fries and brussels sprouts to share with my husband, and also the dairy-free chocolate shake. I didn't see these on the vegan menu so I appreciated her help! Everything was great and I left painfully full. I can't seem to find any hint of the vegan menu on the website, though I haven't checked any social media sites. I wish I had known sooner!

Pros: good vegan options
Cons: vegan menu not on website
