Layonna Vegetarian Health Food

The restaurant offers a great variety of vegetarian meat substitutes. They also have a wide selection of soups, seaweed, and other dishes to choose from. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market is not your typical natural food store – it's actually a vegan butcher shop specializing in vegan mock meats. If you're looking for a Natural Food Store, head to Sprouts on Broadway or the Whole Foods near Lake Merritt. Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market offers a diverse selection of vegan mock meats, all clearly labeled as vegan. Most of the products are made in Taiwan. One standout item is the Vegan Beef Tendon. The bulk section of mock meats is particularly impressive, making it easy to add some variety to dishes like vegan stew. In addition to mock meats, the store also offers miso, dried mushrooms, noodles, and tofu in bulk. Whether you're a vegan in the East Bay or interested in trying out a plant-based diet, this is a great place to discover new products. Mock meats can be a useful addition for new vegans transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, and even seasoned vegans can appreciate the variety they bring to home-cooked meals.

This restaurant has the best vegan jerky around! My boyfriend and I love it so much, we call it "meat candy." I would visit more frequently if parking in the area wasn't so difficult.

As others have noted they have tons of mock meats at cheaper prices than places like Berkeley Bowl and Rainbow Grocery. They also have some harder-to-find specialty items like vegan fish sauce (with MSG for proper levels of dankness). There is a robot voice that welcomes you upon entry and politely sends you on your way as you leave. Highly recommended.

Loads of vegan meats including vegan chicken, vegan shrimp, vegan fish, you name it!! Also some great ingredients for hot pot and so many fantastic products from Taiwan. They even carry my favourite Taiwanese bbq sauce that I got hooked on whist living in taiwan years ago
