50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Torrance

“Tried this new place out. We had the all you can eat lunch special. There were definitely some pros/cons.The pros were: excellent food (especially the butter chicken), great naan! Price was reasonable at $19 per person. Easy to park with no extra cost. Dessert was good but they only had a fruit salad NO sweet rice or NO gulab jamun (which I normally looooove to eat at other Indian restaurants). Good service, the waiter was kind.The cons: the atmosphere could have been more upbeat, it was very quiet (no music playing), they ran out of the dish we loved so we had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes before they brought more out and the rice was limited; I think we could have asked for more but we ended up just using what they gave us.“

“Unbelievable restaurant, delicious food, excellent choices, and super friendly staff. Tried the Tuesday spare rib special and was incredible. Furikake chicken was great, and the loco moco is among the best I've ever had. Grabbed a couple musubi to go. Can't wait to come back.Parking: The parking lot the couple times I've been there had plenty of spots.“

“Their food is so tasty. We tried the mergez sandwich with their French baguette and sautéed potatoes. We loved it. We also had a café crème with a delicious mille feuille (French pastry). their staff is very friendly. They do their best to make you feel comfortable. I definitely recommend this place.“

“We had a spontaneous but wonderful evening at Aliotta Via Firenze. We were in the beach cities area and looking for an Italian meal and this place exceeded our expectations. The staff were the utmost professionals and very welcoming. Chef Mike's passion for his craft is infectious. Most American restaurants would never be as accommodating to their patrons, but Chef Mike offered to make us whatever we wanted if it wasn't on the menu. He brought us a delicious fresh mozzarella and tomato salad which was incredibly satisfying. The menu offerings were definitely geared toward the American palate (e.g. pasta with chicken), but this is a genuine Sicilian establishment so if you want an authentic recipe, he can make it! Mike brought us a customized risotto with fresh vegetables, and pappardelle with sausage and peppers. We capped it off with cannoli and a lemon cake that is to die for. He even has Birra Menabrea, which we enjoyed throughout the evening. Mike's restaurant is the real deal.“

“Great service! The lady at the register is so sweet with everyone who walks in the door. The sushi was fresh and priced reasonably. My favorite was the Tiger Roll. This place is more for takeout, they have a small seating area but no table service. Order at the register and pick up your order. I only knocked down one star for the wait time. I was told 20mins and it was more like 45mins. They seem really busy so I'd recommend to call ahead or expect to wait. Also, there is a 3.95% card fee if using a credit card so I paid with cash. I'll definitely return.“

“I like this place! Japanese food, Hawaiian music, it's like I'm in Hawaii visiting family, lol. Parking might be a little inconvenient, but not a problem. I parked in the back. It's pick-up style and the hours are limited. Definitely will be coming back to try other things“

“We have come here a few times and each visit has been great. The food is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Definitely try the soba! They make it in house and it’s so good! My absolute favorite is the Asari appetizer. The flavor was amazing!!!!“

“Anahi is A great bartender and waitress she makes sure you are well taken care of and keep asking if you need anything very kind sweet and generous. I had no problem with her. She is very excellent. I recommend everybody to come here Torrance thank you so much for your service“

“This place is so good !! Everyone is always polite. Also for 2 appetizers, 2 ramens and 2 drinks everything came out to 54-55 dollars !! That's literally cheap compared to other ramen spots that be coming out to 70 etc dollars! On top of that it's good decent ramen. My boyfriend and I were craving ramen but didn't want to spend so much money and this place is definitely budget friendly“

“ordered from the walk up window after scoping out the menu online. Their online ordering wasn't working. I ordered the Gyro Burrito because it looked so good in the picture. It took about 20 minutes for take out but everything is made fresh. It was one of the few times that l've ever gotten food that looked as good or better than the picture. The burrito is HUGE! I tried a bite & it tasted even better than it looked! Out of habit, I always get extra sauce in the side & their King sauce is like a Tahini type sauce only more complex & tastier. It really enhanced the flavors of everything, especially the gyro meat. Before I knew it, I had devoured the burrito & an entire cup of the King sauce. I'm definitely going back VERY soon & often!“

“I have been to other Black bear diner before;But the Torrance black bear dinner was so much fun and had the best customer service I’ve ever had received! From the host to the server and management it was a treat for my family and I! If anyone is in the Torrance black bear diner I highly recommend you go! Food was excellent and had big plates! 5 stars!!“

“We used to go regularly to Cho Dang restaurant on Hawthorne Blvd just south of Sepulveda Blvd. They closed and knocked the building down. Cho Dang combined with another Korean restaurant, and they refurbished a bakery into Jang Su Jang Restaurant. It is a very nice restaurant combining the best of both restaurants. The business is booming. Service is wonderful. parking is ample. Traditional Korean foods are marvelous. The combinations of sprouts, spiced fermented cabbage and hot pepper pickles are delightful. The soups are piping hot and favorfull. If you are new to the experience, the waitresses are extremely efficient and helpful. I am partial to the mushroom tofu soup. My wife likes the vegetable dumpling soup. My son likes the kimchi beef. In all these, one can choose the desired level of spicy. I choose medium. My son chooses extra spicy. He forms beads of sweat on his forehead and upper lip halfway through the soup ?. If you are there on a busy, cool spring evening and have to wait outside, bring a wrap. The Torrance breeze can be a little chilly.Vegetarian options: Mushroom spicy and vegetable dumpling soups.Parking: Quite a few parking spots in front. Handicap parking 30 feet from front door.Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoy food, too.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking 30 feet from front door. Doors, aisle ways, and seating can accommodate wheel chairs.“

“We are locals and we always make sure to stop at least once a week. Service from the bartenders is the best and remains consistent. The drinks are always great and so is the food. We love their happy hour menu, that they have everyday! The vibe is always great here.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Wrap & burrito are so good !! Red tomato salsa is amazing! Full of flavor. They taste homemade. Will be coming again. Quick service was ready right on time. Place/restaurant is very clean. Good ventilation inside.“

“Danny's menu used to be better. Especially for breakfast. Not many choices. Used to have corn beef hash, but nowadays, no more.Service wise around the tables is average ( will come by when needed ) but they wuld prefer @ least 18% tip. Really? When they don't even come by to really check with u if everything is ok. Or even a short chit chatParking: AvailableKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Best omakase for the value in South Bay. Owned by a Japanese husband and wife duo in a strip mall corner. Parking has always been available every time we’ve been here, and we’ve came over 6+ times now. Go often and keep them in business for years to come!“

“Humble mom and pop sushi shop with yummy, fresh, made to order sushi. Best part: at supermarket prices! They have to compete with the likes of Nijiya, Tokyo Central, and Mitsuwa nearby, so they have brought their A game. Bonus: the interior decor is a must for any baseball fan! No interior dining yet since Covid, so don't be late to your potluck with your mom and pop sushi! Let the adorable sushi clock lead you“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“A really delicious diner in old town Torrance. It’s located on a tree lined street and has many outdoor tables so this is the sort of place that is an easy option to sit outside or in. Today I brought my dog so the outdoor seating really came in handy. We were able to find a parking space right out front and there were a ton of other free parking spots next to us as well. Our server was really polite and fast and we were serviced immediately after sitting down. They have a very large menu filled with all sorts of diner classics, so it was hard to choose what I wanted this morning. Everything is very fair pricewise and the portions are also very hearty.I started off with a cup of coffee, per usual, and it was very tasty and strong. For my meal I chose the Marinated Steak and Eggs because I read a lot of positive reviews about it. I can confirm that it is indeed very good. The steak is very tender and seasoned well and comes in a very large sized portion. I was not a fan of the hashbrowns, as they are more of a potato cake , but aside from that everything else was really good.I would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a solid breakfast option in Torrance. I plan to be back in the future next time I am down in the area.“

“BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and don't change!“

“TL;DR Solid (hand and cut) rolls, sashimi and overall experience, no complaints Story: Been here for the second time after about ~6 months. Both times with family, both times seated pretty promptly. Ambiance: Parking hasn't been a problem both times, but the lot only takes ~10 or less cars. Service was adequate as more folks filtered in (cater your expectations to a restaurant with a few waiters) Generally clean (restroom was fine), and I didn't feel uncomfortable with any of the decor/music/lack of anything Food: Definitely solid roll choices, they have other things like teriyaki but can only comment on the fish/rolls Soy paper and rice less options are appreciated I'm all for handrolls and these hand rolls are definitely hefty (Lobster hand roll/Vicky hand rolls were very solid) Rolls were good and fish was relatively fresh (no complaints) Value: Decent value considering the quality of the fish and that it's a sushi roll place, would definitely give this place a chance if you're in the mood for a solid roll (but shout out to those large hand rolls).“

“Never had ramen broth that wasn't made from pork. The taste was amazing, light, refreshing and less oilier than tonkotsu. The noodles were boiled to perfection, chewy and delicious. The TanTan Men were tasty as well, the peanut broth wasn't too overpowering. I will definitely go back again in the near future.“

“Best vegan pizza in LA!! The crust is perfect, the plant-based cheese is the best I’ve ever had, and all in all it’s delicious! I miss the vegan lovers though :/. Thankfully you can replace cheese for the vegan cheese on any pizza, but I loved the toppings before! It’s also pretty pricey…Vegetarian options: Very vegan-friendly!“

“While the location is not the absolute best, the food and service makes up for any faults. I used to go there all the time when I was younger, and recently decided to try it again a few times. It did not disappoint. I had a chicken kabob with came with an immense amount of sides to go along including white rice, pita and hummus, along with a few vegetables, and garlic sauce. Everything is perfectly seasoned and nothing is bland. This will definitely become a future regular place.“

“I recently visited Palsaik with my girlfriend and her friends, and let me tell you—it was a trip down memory lane! Having lived in Korea about ten years ago, I was thrilled to find this gem right here. Palsaik specializes in eight different flavors of pork belly, and each bite was like a reunion with old friends.The ambiance was cozy, and the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air. Our server was an absolute star—helpful, attentive, and skilled at cooking the meat to perfection. They made sure our dining experience was extraordinary.From the savory garlic flavor to the sweet honey soy, every slice of pork belly transported me back to those bustling Korean barbecue joints. The nostalgia was real, and I couldn’t help but smile between bites.Whether you’re a seasoned Korean food enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Palsaik is a must-visit. The flavors, the service, and the memories—it’s all there. I’m already planning my next visit because, honestly, where else can you find such a delightful pork belly feast?“

“A nice and affordable place that sells very good protein bowls for $6-8! The chicken Katsu is very flavorful and it comes with a decent serving compared to the price. The Katsu plate is $4-5 increase compared to the bowl and includes a decent scoop of Mac salad and salad. Interior was fairly clean and there was no issues with parking. The staff are always super friendly and always open to suggestions when it comes to recommending what to try out! A place worth stopping by and getting some lunch during a quick break!

“I’m giving this space for my review to my six-year-old daughter, who provided these remarks verbatim: “I know I’m six but I just had to write a review. My parents said reviews are a thing. I wrote this review because the pancakes…the pancakes are delicious at (falsetto singing voice) Caaaaaalf and Chiiiick! How many stars? Listen up here: I’m giving it 100,000 stars out of 100,000 stars. And another thing, by the way. I liked the high chairs. They aren’t like baby high chairs. But high tables and high chairs. They are cool. You should go there because the food is…- I’m gonna say it is delicious and everyone was nice.”“

“Great experience. Gives that local vibe that I love. Great selection of beers and food with multiple TVs for your viewing pleasure. Our server was great as well. I believe her name is Ashley. She had a friendly personality and I can see myself coming in asking for her next time.“

“Our server, Kaitlin was really great and recommended many things for us to try. After hearing about din tai fung for months, it was worth the wait. we ordered the cucumber salad, pork soup dumplings, string beans, shrimp noodles, and spicy wontons. Everything was good but the standouts were the cucumber salad and the pork soup dumplings.“

“Service was very attentive. Different wait staff will take away plates and refill beverages. they come around often to see if anything is needed. Food is prepared very well and all are shareable sizes. Nice Ambiance and relaxed atmosphere. Overall a good experience and a solid place to dine.“

“I tried chicken maison recently and now I can't get enough. I love their potato salad, rice and garlic sauce is amazing!!!! The service is incredible, friendly employees, clean environment. Quick service, they have exceed it my expectations..“

“Their goat curry is very rich and they choose delicate and delicious cuts of it for the curry. Great flavor in many of the food there.I enjoy their basmati rice, goat curry, mint chaay, pickled veggies, and fresh food!! I always like getting my weekend drink freebie of the super creamy Mango Lassi!Very quick service. They do their best to get you warm naan, cold water, and clean tables to get more food. Servers are quick to seat you and take care of your table. They are also very helpful especially when I needed anything.Hope to see this place stays open as it has been for over 50 years!“

“This restaurant offers plenty of seating and welcomes walk-ins during weekdays, making it easy to visit on a whim. The place is vibrant and arguably the best spot in the Torrance area for authentic Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices. I had the Shirasu Ikura Don, Roast Beef Don, a seafood bowl, and curry. Although primarily a sake bar, it serves substantial meals that are highly recommendable. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Japanese flavors!“

“The little Mexican in the back was able to make me a delicious half and half. Will be coming back for more. Rosa is also kind and very friendly.Vegetarian options: If you ask for no meat just veggies, the chef will grab what he can to make you something delicious off the top of his head“

“Really enjoyed the food here. Had the Kalua pork plate. Really tasty and cooked just right! It came with Mac salad and rice. Finished off dinner with shaved ice. Only thing I wish they served was ramen cabbage salad. I am used to having it with Kalua pork and it was strange to not offer it as a side. Overall it was a good dining experience!“

“This place is close to my heart and stomach! Our family has been enjoying Appetizer turkey sandwiches for many, many years. It was a tradition for my Mom and Dad to order them for USC football games. We are continuing the tradition to this day and have also discovered their amazing pizza! So dang good. It’s always a pleasure to see them and pick up our order. They’re always smiling and happy. Love this place! Highly recommended.“

“I'm so glad the Cask Ale is still available at this location. They've got options for wine and even some fun beer type cocktails. I had the burger with chili I think it's the Tom E and thank goodness it wasn't bigger because it was incredibly delicious.“

“This place is great it you come at the right time. They open and close on random days..Recommended dishes:- Mixed baby scallop and shrimp tempura bowl-Black pork cutlet with starchy egg bowl-Hamburg steak w/ demi glace sauce combo-Fried OystersThe meal set comes with miso soup and pickledveggies.“

“there food is good and tasty especially flat bread w/ arugula and boa bam and everything are delicious and there server person very kindly and polite to served you and the owner sit down to chat and explained to us what they name there's restaurant restoration!☺ thank you for all your serving us and we enjoy.“

“This place is about as legit as it gets for me. I spent a bit of time in Japan lusting over the food and I was skeptical I could find the same attention to detail in the US but here it is (at least to my western taste buds). Every dish has character. It can get busy so don't expect walk ins to always work out, there is bar seating too if you want to come as a single and be comfortable. The servers are great as well. About 4 items is a full meal.“

“Wet burrito with Al Pastor was enough for two people. Chips fresh and extra crunchy. Friendly and fast, looks like a favorite for locals.Parking: In residential neighborhood, but street parking is free.Kid-friendliness: Clean and bright dining space“

“I have been going here for 15 years. And the quality has not decreased whatsoever. This is in my opinion the best pizza in South Bay.The pizza is very low in price and very high quality in taste. The staff are friendly and kind, and I always have a great conversation with them, though I am a talker.The interior is also a little slice of New York. Highly recommend!!Parking: Never had issues with parkingKid-friendliness: Located in walking distance from Victor elementary, Bert Lynn middle, and West High school.“

“Tasty, rich and flavorful! My husband and I ordered this for our final postpartum night in the hospital. After placing an order for 7 items, pickup was ready in 25 minutes! Upon arrival, the food was so fresh as if we were eating at the restaurant. I appreciate the fast service and quality food. We ordered shrimp fried rice, pad see ew, yellow tofu curry, wonton soup, Tom kha soup, crispy chicken, and crispy rolls! Everything was delicious and can't wait to order again!“

“In conjunction with the delicious food, I wanted to make a comment about the employees. All of the workers are so kind and courteous. They always make each take-out visit so pleasant.Parking: The parking lot is spacious.Kid-friendliness: Yes.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they have tables for people in wheelchairs.“

“My sister and I went out to dinner to celebrate her birthday. She wanted to try something new something different, we drove around and found Chinchikurin in Torrance. We were greeted when we walked in and was able to find a table for two. The restaurant was small, clean and it was busy on a Friday night. We didn't know what to expect what was on the menu but we ordered the Steamed octopus, Fried oysters, Mentaiko Cheese (smaller than I thought but tasty) and Chinchikurinyaki Okonomiyaki. All of the dishes were delicious and we are happy that we have given this place a try, it was a great experience and would come again to try other dishes on the menu.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints. I'm writing another review since I don't know what happened to the one I wrote years ago when they first opened. My go to dish here is the chicken ka-pao (my all time favorite Thai dish). I've tried their other dishes too which were all good. I haven't been disappointed yet. Love their sticky rice with mango as well! This restaurant is small and cozy (with only a few tables if you want to dine in). There are only a few parking spots at the back of the restaurant, so parking can be challenging (no parking at the Flame Broiler lot or you may be towed). The staff are super friendly as well. I will definitely continue to patronize this establishment.“

“There are vents that go pretty low so you don't get as much smoke smell on your clothes after the meal.Wait time was good (as a walk-in on Sat night ~8pm).The bonchon selection is quite good - the mat kimchi is fresh but still has the fermentation I expect of good kimchi. Not going to review each one, there was a wide selection and refills on all of them.We got the beef combo, with boneless short ribs. The boneless short ribs were my favorite. They do come by to flip your meat (but don't hover over your shoulder).Jazz started off our service but every waiter was friendly and went out of their way to help! I left a good tip for that.Parking: The parking can be limited because there are so many good food places in the same plaza.“

“BCD is great if you’re looking for other Korean dishes. I had the galbi combo with soybean soup and it was all very good. Their banchan was excellent and they offer refills. The seafood pancake was so good, crispy with great flavor and lots of seafood chunks.“

“This place was awesome. We were visiting the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We had tried to stop in on Saturday but it was packed. So, we on Monday afternoon to take a break from checking out used bookstores. There was only one other table occupied. Our waiter was being trained by another server and they were both great. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was fantastic. My son said he wished we had one where we're from. I agreed. Definitely glad we stopped in.Dietary restrictions: They are gluten friendly. Be careful if you're gluten sensitive and can handle small amounts of cross contamination. I'm gluten sensitive due to auto-immune disease but I am generally okay with things in a shared fryer. I ordered the fries. Thankfully, our server informed us they toss their fries in flour before frying. That I cannot do. Burgers and sandwiches can be served on gluten free buns.“

“They offer a wide variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Chinese cuisine to creative Western cuisine, and there are many surprising combinations. In addition, the restaurant pays attention to the selection of raw materials and the innovation of cooking techniques to ensure that each dish can bring you the most extreme taste experience“
