Garden Fresh

Mountain View only has one fully vegan restaurant and this is a great one to represent for the veg heads out there. Run by a small family, we felt right at home with their service and great food. We ordered three entrees and some brown rice on the side to share. Each dish was about $16 so average pricing for the area. The Basil Tempura was highly recommended and we did enjoy the spices they used for the dish. I thought it would be a bit crispier given that it's tempura but they do add on a light sauce, making it more of a stir-fry consistency. We also tried their Dry Braised String Beans with Soy Chicken and this was another standout. Like the previous dish, they do go a bit heavier on the sauce than I'd imagine so it's not a fully dry stir-fried dish, but a great one nonetheless. My favorite dish was their veggie ribs which was essentially their take on beef and broccoli. Their use of mushrooms here as the beef was ingenious and the meaty texture of it made it taste very realistic. Thanks Garden Fresh for being the lone fully vegan restaurant in the area. You're definitely a keeper.

Garden Fresh has been a staple on my list since 2018. Great vegan options, delicious food, and a kind and generous host. Their black pepper veggie chicken and orange chicken are my two favorites and they pair together as well as two things could!

This is one of the best places to have a fantastic vegan meal. It's a mom and pop shop and the owner is very warm, accommodating of any changes, patient with explaining the menu. She also takes so much joy in explaining how they make their food. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Garden Fresh from the bottom of my heart. This is where I would come if I had something to celebrate or if I was having a bad day. Delicious home cooked food and Alice is amazing 💕

I've been coming here for years. Started first in Palo Alto near work and then found this one closer to home. Absolutely delicious food, really good price, and consistently great experience every time. The owner is a gem of a person, and will make you feel like at home. Highly recommend! Don't miss out on this local gem!
