Layonna's

Layonna's is a vegan gem in the heart of Oakland's Chinatown. Any sort of vegan meat you could think of exists here, although it's all proprietary, not the brands you'd see at major grocery stores. The products are very unique and all incredibly delicious. The photo is of my most recent haul.

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

Great place to find plant-based meat substitutes, very friendly staff

After having spent some time in Taiwan, I wanted to recreate some of the amazing vegan food I'd had there. Layonna's to the rescue! One of the best sources for imported, vegan, Taiwanese foods in the bay. She has the quick to prepare things frozen (steamed buns, dumplings), ingredients that are hard to come by (tofu skins) and some things that I've only ever seen as garnishes that are quite amazin

I was told about this market by multiple people. It was my first time last week. Wow! All the fake meat products. It was super exciting getting to pick out all the yummy looking items to cook with. I definitely recommend the Lemongrass chicken, fake beef chunks, bacon, and jerky. All are amazing. I'll continue to support them and hope others do too. Did I mention they're fully vegan?
