Reviews for Hip Vegan in Ojai, CA
We stumbled upon this fantastic healthy restaurant today! Clean and airy with air conditioning inside! This is not a full... service restaurant, but rather a restaurant where you select your food and drink at the counter, pay and find a table. There areseveral tables inside, but we chose to sit outside in the patio. My husband is not a fan of vegetables or healthy stuff, butenjoyed his Baguette and Gunpowder fries which comes with their homemade curry ketchup and a tasty mustard! He said his baguettewas flavorful and spicy good! The fries were spicy and the dipping sauces devine, although the fries are stand alone tasty. Hesaid he would come back to Hip Vegan again! I ordered the Wagamama Bowl which was heavenly to my tummy! I love all the Asianflavors in this bowl. The portion size of this bowl is generous and I could of had it all, but decided to pace myself and takesome home for dinner later tonight. I definitely recommend the wagamama bowl! I also ordered one of the seasonal fruit sodas. Ichose the watermelon lime juice mixed with soda. My husband had a beer on tap. After finishing our meal, we bussed our platesand trash. Inside there is a station to get your own metal utensils and glassware for water, along with paper napkins. HipVegan is truly a pleasant restaurant for yummy food and drink! Read more
A great experience overall! Had some fantastic spring rolls and an epic salad. The tap list was a winner and the staff were... great too. Can't wait to go back again next time I am in Ojai. Read more
It's a Vegan place. Food was good, the "old fashioned" burger tastes kind of like a mix between an impossible burger and a... turkey burger, and it is messy to eat with all the toppings, but it's good. Cookies are moist but very crumbly. Tasted betterthan some real cookies. 3 stars only because no service. Not "bad" service - but rather the restaurant is designed to have noservice. You get your own silverware, pour your own water in cups, grab your napkins, clear your table -all kind of like a fastfood place- but it's not a fast food joint. it's otherwise a pleasant sit down place.

The absolute best vegan burger I've had in forever, maybe ever!! After a local hike, my guy friend and I were starving and ready... for lunch. Hip Vegan had been recommended in a recent issue of AAA's Westways with a write up on Ojai so I figured we'd give ita shot. I got the Old Fashioned Burger, we split some Gunpowder Fries, and (because I was starving) I also got a Date and CacaoSmoothy. It was a perfect lunch ~ freaking delicious, peaceful on a sun dappled patio, quick and friendly service. A perfectmeal for our Ojai day ???? Read more
After a long day riding motorcycles, this was PERFECT. the tiger bowl is absolutely perfect. Interesting and diverse flavors,... yet left you feeling fresh and energized. Read more
This place was recommended to us by friends, and it was an enjoyable place to go for lunch. Plenty of options with some hits... (fries, veggie sandwich, pickled veggies) and misses (falafel plate, ?baguette?). The outdoor seating has seat lamps for thechillier winter days. Read more
I'm not vegan, but I can still enjoy vegan food! Very cute patio, generous portions, and tasty to boot! We had the tiger Bowl... and the wagamama Bowl and they were both delicious (though I'm not a fan of sweet potato...). There was a tiny line around 1pmon a Sunday but it moved quickly and we got our food at reasonable time. Read more
Best vegan food I've had in a long while. Like most vegan restaurants they kind of meander all over the culinary map. But these... folks get it right! From their spicy fries to their health conscious Ashram Bowl, it's a symphony for the senses. A must for ANYvegan in So-Cal. Read more
