We’ve tried contacting someone at Toyota Center where the Houston Rockets play several times to find out what vegan options are available at the arena. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to get any responses as of yet.
However, we have done some research on what policies you need to know if you’re thinking of bringing your own food into Toyota Center as well as a couple vegan-friendly spot close by worth checking out.
We wanted to share that information so we’re putting out this ‘guide’ even though we don’t yet have the thing we, and you, really want which is what is available inside the arena.

Can I Bring Food Into Toyota Center?
Sometimes life seems easier just by bringing your own food to an event. If you’re thinking of doing that at the Toyota Center, here are a few policies of the arena that you’ll want to be aware of. These were taken directly from Toyota Center’s A to Z Guide
.
Bag Policy (as of 10.10.23)
Toyota Center encourages fans to travel light and not bring bags.
- Bags that are 5.5” x 8.5” or smaller will be screened through an expedited visual process.
- Bags that are larger than 5.5” x 8.5” but smaller than 14”x14” x 6” will be scanned through additional screening process and/or x-ray machines that will likely require a longer wait.
- Medical bags and parenting bags are permitted and are the only bags larger than 14” x 14” x 6” that will be allowed.
Outside Food and Beverage (as of 10.10.23)
- Guests are not permitted to bring any food or beverages into Toyota Center.
Vegan Options Near Toyota Center
Grabbing a bite to eat before or after the game with friends and family can be one of the best parts of the entire game. We took a look at what’s close to the arena to give you a couple of recommendations of some vegan-friendly spots you can check out.
This is by no means all the options, just a couple of places that caught our eye.
Be sure to check the days/hours open when making plans.
Green Seed Vegan
4320 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX 77004
Green Seed Vegan is located less than two miles south of the arena. Not exactly within walking distance, but it’s a quick drive from the park.
They offer sandwiches, smoothies and juices and while we’ve never eaten them ourselves personally, they have tremendous reviews. People seem to rave about their sweet potato fries.
The Doshi House
3419 Emancipation Ave, Houston, TX 77004
The Doshi House is also located about a mile and a half from the arena, just a few blocks away from Green Seed. (There are actually a handful of vegan spots around this same area)
They are a vegan and vegetarian place so be aware of that when ordering. Again, we’ve not eaten here ourselves, but their reviews are outstanding. The paninis get a lot of love in their reviews so something worth considering for sure.
