50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Chino Hills

“I'm not someone who craves American food every day, but every now and then, nothing satisfies quite like a great crafted burger.

Back in the 1990s, neighborhood burger joints were everywhere. Every town seemed to have its own local favorite, where burgers were grilled to order with unmistakable character. Those places made crafted burgers one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. Unfortunately, as national chains steadily expanded over the past two decades, many of those independent burger shops quietly disappeared. Finding a true old-school burger joint today feels almost like searching for a hidden treasure.

With that nostalgia in mind, I visited The Stand hoping to rediscover some of that magic. We ordered the restaurant's Stand Burger, the Ultimate Egg Burger, and the Chinese Chicken Chop Salad.

Let's start with the positives. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was appealing, and everything was prepared with care. The Chinese Chicken Chop Salad was particularly enjoyable, offering crisp vegetables, well-seasoned chicken, and a balanced dressing that made it more than just a side dish.

The burgers, however, left me wanting just a little more.

As someone who has very high expectations for crafted burgers, I'm looking for that unforgettable first bite—the smoky aroma from the grill, the rich beef flavor that fills your mouth, and a juicy patty with enough personality to stand on its own. While both burgers were certainly well above typical fast-food standards, they didn't quite deliver the depth of flavor or distinctive character I associate with truly exceptional crafted burgers.

To be clear, this isn't a criticism of quality. These are good burgers, and they're unquestionably a step above the mass-produced offerings of traditional fast-food chains. But for me, they still carry a level of consistency and polish that feels closer to a well-executed franchise concept than to a neighborhood burger shop with its own unique identity.

Of course, taste is deeply personal. My expectations are shaped by years of searching for those unforgettable local burger joints that seem to be disappearing from the American dining landscape. Someone looking for a fresh, satisfying, and consistently well-made burger will likely leave very happy. Those chasing the nostalgic, one-of-a-kind flavor of a classic independent burger stand, however, may come away wishing for just a bit more soul.

In the end, The Stand succeeds as a polished, reliable modern burger restaurant. It simply didn't rekindle the memories of the handcrafted burgers I grew up loving—and perhaps that's less a reflection of The Stand than of how rare those old neighborhood burger shops have become.“

“Every time we visit the Chino Hills Store #50, Lorraine has been attentive, friendly, and professional. She always greets us with a big smile, and it helps to put a positive attitude in everyone who walks in. Nick is also a great asset to your company.“

“Great fresh food, nice size portions and competitive prices. Love to support local family businesses!“

“Met a date here for dinner and drinks. Walter the bartender was especially awesome. He found us seats at the packed bar and took great care of us all evening, along with the other bar staff. We had a great time and were made to feel welcome.“

“Service is fast, food is good, price is fair“

“The food was genuinely life changing I plan on coming here often service took a minute or two however its very much worth the wait the rice is very good none of it was dry or half baked rice was also seasoned well the rolls themselves are very thick rolls with alot of filling the drinks were also good the soda tasts better then at other restaurants“

“We recently found this gem of a place and were warmly welcomed and constantly attended to. Now, mind you, this was on a Monday morning at 9:30am when most people are working; however, people should realize that weekends are much busier times for dining and plan accordingly! The atmosphere was awesome, warm and welcoming. We were attended to by no less than 4 different people making sure we were cared for; the food was very fresh (they have vegan options too) and the coffee was yum. When I heard the name of this place, I knew it would be fantastic; check it out and see what you think.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Definitely Going Back. Thank you Taylor who was my server for the wonderful SVC..“

“The seafood it’s really good“

“The food and the service are all very good! The server was very nice to us and our dog, oh yes they are super pet friendly restaurant.

The food not only taste are good also the potion are very big. It’s better to have 3-4 ppl to dine with!“

“Great Happy Hour! Food & drinks good. Lots of easy parking.“

“I come to this sushi spot all the time it’s one of my favorites. The food is always delicious, I highly recommend however today when I came to pick up my order, Kay was rude And said little to nothing to me while I was paying, and picking up my order, didn’t even make eye contact with me And just handed me my receipt. It’s very offputting as I come here all the time and everyone is usually extremely friendly.“

“Many gluten and dairy free options, didn’t get sick from eating here. Orange chicken was SO good!! The lady we spoke to was super knowledgeable about the menu and our allergies. Gluten free stuff is made to order- avoiding cross contamination in the bins. Will be back!“

“we ordered thru GrubHub this time and did pickup... I love their spicy ramen.. this place is a great place. 👍“

“Like many sushi restaurants this is one is quiet small, gets vey busy on weekends but that's because the sushi rolls, yaki and ramen are so yummy. I have to admit, the yaki could use more flavor but the sushi rolls are my favorite good portions and they give you a 10% discount if you pay in cash“

“In my opinion, Sushi Ojiya in Chino Hills, CA is THE best sushi around the area. We have been eating here since 2008.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious. They serve truly authentic Korean cuisine, and the overall food quality is top-notch. You must try the Mul-Naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), and especially the LA Galbi. The short ribs are cut thick, cooked to perfection, and the quality is noticeably better than other places. If you want to experience authentic Korean food in Chino Hills, I highly recommend this spot!“

“Buena atención Buenos precios Buen ambiente“

“I have been craving to try boat noodle soup ($15.95) since I've seen it online. It is a blood-based soup so it's a dark brown but the taste is not noticeable. It comes with thin noodles, sliced beef, pork meatballs, green onions, pork rinds, Thai basil, and cilantro. They do have a Thai level of spicy and they do warn that they do not to re-makes of dishes.

I also got their pork jerky which came with a side of spicy fish sauce dip.

The staff is nice and the place is clean.“

“delicioso, ademas muy atentos“

“Tried the new NoBibi Ice Cream & Boba and wow… this place is legit! We got the Mango Mellow, Dubai Chocolate, and the Oreo Cookie combo — all three were hella good. Super fresh flavors, creamy ice cream was on point. The shop is new but already feels like a favorite spot. Definitely worth checking out!“

“everything was so fresh! i loved all the choices at the salad bar and the soups. This was our first time at Soup & Fresh. we were on our way home from las vegas and we were able to stop by.
I wish there was a location closer to home in Garden Grove! so we could go all the time.“

“The walnut shrimp is amazing. Always been my favourite dish At the happy kitchen it's been the best ever had. Egg rolls and Kung Pao pork was delicious.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Bingsu ❤️ chocolate is the best.“

“Kylah provided outstanding service during our visit. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He had a great attitude, checked on us throughout our meal, and made the whole experience even better. Great customer service like his is why we'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Kylah!“

“I honestly forgot how everything in California taste better than anywhere else visiting back where im from. Had to try out this place out I have been addicted to matchas lately and this place has the best Strawberry matcha so far can't compete to the ones back home.“

“Awesome atmosphere and great people!“

“❤️🫐😋I COME HERE EVERY WEEK RELIGIOUSLY😋🫐❤️ OMG! This is my GO TO SPOT FOR AÇAÍ BOWLS! So f@cking good! I go to nekter 1x/week religiously. Lol. Like for the past 20ish weeks religiously, lol. And I ALWAYS get the same thing... wait for it... PROTEIN POWER BOWL! (With extra almond butter scoop) (worth the extra $1) Although I usually treat myself after a new weekly hike... Nekter has become a RITUAL of mine to rejuvenate and treat myself to get ready to KICKASS and conquer my week. While I could’ve left this review on any other nekter location I’ve ever been to — THIS LOCATION IS MY FAVORITE! Always top notch service and generous servings! This was also where I lost my nekter virginity, downloaded the app for the first time, and never looked back. AHHH, so so so SOOOO friking God. You guys are a friking GOD SEND. #PROTEINPOWERBOWL all the way. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself the favor and treat yourself this week! (No need to thank me) 🦄🫐 🍓🍌🥜🍯😋“

“Love the delicious vegan options ! The Vegan Pho is incredibly delicious! 😃“

“Food was good, freshly made and’s portion size was good. It didn’t take too long to receive order, cashier brought it out to my table. Fountain drinks available, plus additional aguas frescas. Free complimentary chips and salsa. Family is clean.“

“Ordered takeout during the holidays and the food was ready to go at the agreed upon time. The staff were very thoughtful and kept the fried dish uncovered in the to-go bag to maintain the crispiness. After the car ride home, it was still crispy and yummy. Overall the food was pretty good and a hit with most of the people. Some of the dishes were a bit salty, but that was expected from this type of establishment.“

“I love it here. There are açaí bowl places closer to me but I take the drive to come to Juice n Bowls! The ingredients are fresh and they have several bases you can choose from. They have lots of smoothies too. I make it a routine when I get my nails done, I treat myself to Juice & Bowls right after.“

“This place is always fresh and good!! We will be back“

“Food 4/5 - Ordered beef chow fun, chinese sausage/diced broccoli fried rice, braised crispy tofu w/ three delights, and crispy pan-fried whole flounder. Beef chow fun and the fried rice were delicious, both dishes have very good “wok-hei”. Crispy pan-fried flounder was also delicious, good crispy outside fry with the fish still being soft. There’s some soy sauce beneath the fish, but I’d like it to be served on the side so you can dip your fish pieces. Braised crispy tofu was good, tofu texture was very soft and the 3 delights (shrimp/fish fillet/octopus) were fine.

Price $$ - Price is good for the portions that were served. The plates might look small, but they have depth.

Service 3/5 - Service is average, we needed to flag down a server to refill our drinks.

Atmosphere 4/5 - Interior is good with Chinese themed decor.

Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.“

“the Pub burger is 🔥 Rene our waitress was so sweet and kind❤“

“We stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday. I had the Albacore tuna sandwich with mixed greens. My companions had the Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. To drink I tried the Chai Latte. Everything was fresh and delicious. The pumpkin muffin was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly. We will be back soon.“

“Excellent service with fresh foods“

“? slush is my favorite especially with this heat!! I was going to try the strawberry watermelon slush . Maybe next time. Mango I heard is good too.* peach iced tea with boba and less sweetness..* orange slush*the mango iced green tea less sweet no bobaMy favorite was the peach iced tea w/ boba . I wish I'd got the larger size. Next time I'll try it without boba Next time!!Second was the orange slush..it was really good like a fresh ingredients slurpee . Plus an orange slice inside. Idk if I was just hot or what but I guzzled it down and the brain freeze was worth it ?. It was a treat cuz I don't drink orange juice often in fact I rarely do even tho i love juices ,cuz of the sugar content so it was a treat.The mango green was ok. Maybe cuz u got it less sweet idk. And I got the large too cuz mango is my favorite tea flavor ironic because I don't care much for the actual fruit .May try the apple slush next time too cuz I was originally going to get that but picked the orange instead .“

“Service and food was great“

“Good place for lunch. I appreciate when the employees take the order over the self check out computers. This location the employees are very quick with greeting and taking your order. The food has always been good on each of my visits here.“

“Have you ever watched an old Western, and that quiet cowboy rides into town and walks into the bar to get a drink and all the townsfolk stare? Yeah, it was the same experience when I walked in. Everyone stared. It's....abit unsettling, but it won't deter me from coming back.
Can I ALWAYS recommend the Peach or Passionfruit Green tea?“
