23 Best Vegan Restaurants in Castro Valley

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“It was my first time coming to Lucca Deli, and I had a great experience. The sandwiches are delicious, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. One of the workers, Biduri, was especially helpful. They took the time to explain all the different ways I could customize my sandwich and made the whole ordering process easy. The customer service was excellent, and I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Best Mexican food in Castro Valley to add to the wonderful taste of ghost food, their owner Doña Rosa it’s a gem, she’s wonderful, caring, so kind and make you feel right at home! Best of the best!“

“Ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza and it arrived in 36 minutes. Not bad, not great. But the wait was worth it in the end. The pizza is absolutely on point. I love the way the cheese is melted and the top layer of cheese is crispy, but not overly crispy. Tastes great and you can tell it’s hand made and very fresh. Will definitely order again.“

“😋 definitely recommend. Get the vegan Potato, the apple and also the beef for sure!! Their espresso is amazing too 😊“

“Yummy food! Big portions!“

“Great tasting Thai food with approachable pricing. My two favorites are the Pad Thai (great balance of sweet and savory) and red duck curry (bold flavors and great tasting duck). Definitely worth a trip to check out. Mostly street parking or you can find a small lot on the side of the building.“

“We had food catered & delivered from them. All the food was authentic, super tasty, well packaged and presented. Everyone loved it & mentioned multiple times. I recommend them wholeheartedly. We ordered Chicken Curry, Dal Makhani, Paneer Veggie Sabji, Raita, Naan, Rice, Salad & Rose Kheer. Rose Kheer was so yummy. Chicken Curry tasted homemade Punjabi. It was delicious. Paneer Sabji & Daal were also very yummy. Spices were mild. You can't go wrong by ordering from them.“

“You will enjoy this place I sure do.“

“Wonderful! Today (5/18/26), at around 4:30-5:00 PM, I was craving a fresh, not too heavy meal to satisfy my lunch cravings while on break. I was recommended this specific nick the Greek from a good friend of mine, as it was local, and was said to have great service and good food. When I entered the store, I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated and clean the store was, along with its upbeat, Greek themed atmosphere. My highlight of this visit was the food and service though, as the two employees at the front taking my order were extremely kind, patient, and were actively engaged in assisting me in ordering my meal. I ordered a beef gyro, which was absolutely delicious, filling, and perfectly satisfied my lunch cravings. I also ordered Greek fries, which came out about 1-3 minutes after my gyro came, and they were just as good, a perfect combination with my gyro. All in all, a great, fast, clean, and delightful experience from this restaurant, props to the workers at the cash register! This visit made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.“

“Came here after a long drive and the pho was exactly what I needed, broth was super rich and flavorful. The place is small and kinda casual but the lady working was so sweet and patient while I figured out what to order. Ended up also trying the spring rolls and they were fresh and crunchy, totally worth it. Already planning my next trip back cause im craving that soup again.“

“I was a little put off by the health department biotic ln the door but decided to take the chance. It had gone from closed to conditional due to an issue with a water pipe problem, the staffer told me as I checked out. The food was good and plentiful. I’d eat here again.“

“I've been there twice & I enjoyed it both times, I haven't been to the new place yet.“

“Me and my husband are new customers at this pizza place and it’s now our go-to spot.

Food tastes great, store is aesthetically pleasing.

The employee named Shana/Shauna is very kind and helpful. Made the experience very welcoming. Thank you☺️“

“Great service. The Staff is always friendly and polite. Best sushi in Town.“

“One of our go-to places with super friendly staff which always goes the extra mile to make us feel welcomed, seen and appreciated.

The Food - especially their Dinner Special - is great, portion sizes just right, different options and still assembled and delivered to the table within minutes of ordering. And both Nigiri and Sashimi have sizable chunks of Fish and well prepared!

Kid-friendliness: Servers interact wonderfully with the kids, recommending suitable food and engaging with them in conversations. There are often families with Kids here, a testament to their appeal.“

“The waitstaff is bilingual, yay!(my Spanish isn't very good). The enchiladas are EVERYTHING! With rice and beans, omgosh! It's the winning combo here! Like being at my Great Tia Margaret's house on Sunday! Highly recommend 10/10!“

“This is an amazing find in Castro Valley! We went there because we needed a place to have lunch. We were surprised with not only an amazing selection, but extremely welcoming, owner and servers, and the food! The food was incredible. They do not cater to American taste. This is the real thing. The vegetables with tofu sauce were incredible as was the pork and everything else we had the dessert of tofu with mantis or ginger is a must. Highly recommend!!“

“Do yourself a favor and get their chimichurri steak wrap with guacamole. Bursting with flavor and veggies, they made it super quickly and it was still pleasantly warm when I got to my classes. The atmosphere is quirky in a good way- reminds me of classic Berkeley restaurants. Can't wait to try their coffee smoothie.“

“Came in last Sunday for brunch- one of the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had! Washed it down with fresh squeezed orange juice, side of fresh fruit and out of this world coffee cake. Our server, Jorge was working the bar and gave us such amazing service. Best experience I’ve had at brunch in a long time!! Will be back! Told family and friends how delicious it was too!“

“Really good !!! My kids love this place“

“The CV location is back on track with new staff and it appears things are back on track compared to the end of last year. Pleased to put this location back in the Favs.“

“Thanks to the team at the CV shop for making such a large order as stress-less as possible. I came in with a big order and not only was everything right, but the customer service was great for us and the others in line. They made it fun to be hanging with the sandwich makers. Also, I prefer this shop in CV as it is sooooo clean! Thanks again and Happy Holidays!“
