Ahimsatisfying - Edit
This is my favorite vegan spot in LB. They have a robust menu with lots of veggies, but they also have good faux-meat options. Very friendly staff. Pro-peace, pro-love atmosphere. If Ahimsa started a commune, I'd join.
Read morePros: Delicious, satisfying food, Kind, friendly environment.

Yummy burgers - Edit
I absolutely love the avocado jalapeño burger ! I've also had the BBQ bacon beyond burger (it was okay could be better) and the ahimsa burger !They definitely have really amazing fries and the ketchup is to die for !!

Nice calming place, good food - Edit
Nice place in Long Beach. I had the Thai Temple bowl with tempeh. It was full of veggies and a tasty Thai sauce. I would return when in Long Beach again.

Ashore with Ahimsa - Edit
Just got off Royal Princess and didn’t have great selection of vegan meals and almost non-existent desserts. Great to find a vegan restaurant to make up for four nights.
Read moreNew cauliflower buffalo wings were great. Pizza dog had too much bun but very good flavor. The bbq bacon beyond burger was very tasty. The peanut butter cheese cake is yummy.

Delicious! - Edit
We ordered the temp bowl and the Indian wrap. Both were large portions. We split the Indian wrap first and it was so delicious. We then had the Tempe bowl which felt a little bland in comparison but still tasty. Maybe more peanut sauce would help.

It’s ok. - Edit
We got the beyond burgers delivered to our hotel from here which was great. The next day we decided to go to the restaurant. That didn’t go so well. Service is slow and they don’t seem to care much about customers. Also they got both our burgers wrong and had to remake them. It took SO long to get our food.
Read morePros: Decent menu. , Begin burger tasted good. , On grub hub.
Cons: Pricey for what it is. , Slow service. , Staff is not friendly or caring.

It was okay, expensive for what it is - Edit
We chose this because it was close to where we were and had a single dollar sign on its HappyCow page. The food was okay (nothing to write home about), and it turned out to be a two dollar sign place in terms of cost (which shows on the general search results page, but not on the restaurant's specific HappyCow page for some reason). They got one of our sides wrong, but brought out a replacement quickly. The woman at the register didn't seem very interested in customer service. The food was okay, but more in the single dollar sign range in terms of quality. I like to visit vegan restaurants when they're available, but would try another one of the many options available were I to visit Huntington Beach again.
Read morePros: Nice wall mural. , Casual atmosphere.
Cons: Expensive for the quality of food. , Disinterested register staff.

Ahimsa is the best Old School (Loving Hut style) Vegan restaurant I know! Affordable Chicken Burgers, great sweet potato fries and now Vegan fried egg available. Same style as Green Leaves in Los Feliz, chances are you’ll hear SP Morrissey on the radio. Order at the counter and enjoy!

We split the nachos and had a main course each and had so much food to take home. The kitchen was slow, but it was so worth it!

Great vibes - Edit
Large area, but fills up during lunch. Pretty varied menu, but it's all executed very well. I always add the side of nuggets every time.

Tempeh Reuben Was Great! - Edit
I had the tempeh reuben delivered to my hotel. Even for being delivered, it was crispy and delicious! I did pick the arugula off, but it was still very good!

Great for Dine-In. Not so Great To-Go. - Edit
My boyfriend and I really enjoy this place, however I wish the food would stay hotter for longer when we get it to go, because it isn't that great after it's cooled down. We have issues placing to go orders here. Even when I ask the employee if they included everything including plasticware in our to-go order, they say yes, and we find ourselves not being able to eat our food when we get to the beach, because they lied and didn't include it. Food also tends to sit to get cold for a while before they deliver to tables. 4 stars for quality when you eat there. Minus one star for lack of attention to detail and for how quickly the food gets cold ~ 15 minute ride home. They need to use better to-go packaging to preserve heat.
Read morePros: Great Sandwiches, Great Burgers, Great Breakfast Sandwhiches
Cons: Lack of Attention to Detail, To-Go Food Gets Cold Quick
