50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Cupertino

“2025.08.30, Saturday, 5pm, reservation for 19 people. Total bill was $1,747.04, we tipped 20% so almost $2,000.

Positives: Service was AMAZING 👏👏👏 very attentive and checks in with our table constantly. The cheese and salad bar was fantastic with huge variety of choices!

Negatives: The meat was “okay”, I don’t know what’s the rave about meat. I rather pay $100 for 4 course meal with incredible quality than $100 for this all you can eat steaks with mediocre quality.“

“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!“

“It's not like China, but it's pretty good. It's like home“

“My daughter and I really enjoy the ramen.“

“Good service was good, and very helpful. Accidentally mixed up my food but were willing to remake it.“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

“We dined at their SM North Edsa branch. Good food. 👌 Crews were accommodating. 💯“

“Our family’s all time favorite restaurant in the Bay Area… genuinely good foods worth of every penny 👍🏻“

“Great customer service. Fresh Salsas, every day they told me. The place is great for lunch or dinner. I had a chicken burrito. It has sour cream and guacamole rice and beens. It was good! They tell me that the wet burrito is good. After they Wrap the burrito they add cheese on top after it's been wrapped and then they add a special sauce the one they use on enchiladas and then they put it to bake so the outside cheese melts. Sure sounds tasty I would say!“

“Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down 🙂‍↕️“

“Excellent service, amazing ingredients, great food options! I ordered a chai, matcha, burrito, and smoothie. All of them had really good, fresh ingredients. The staff was excellent. Above & beyond customer service, great recommendations. They truly make sure you are satisfied. They provide quick service. The kindness was truly a highlight! Highly recommend!!!“

“Had an outstanding lunch at Alexander’s Steakhouse in Cupertino! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Our server Tiffany provided warm, attentive service that made the experience even more enjoyable. Mr. Garcia helped us select a wonderful bottle of wine that paired perfectly with our meal, and Chef Oleg Sheyner truly showcased his culinary talent with every bite. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a perfect setting for a memorable meal. Highly recommend!“

“This coffee shop was spacious, fast, and very clean, making it a comfortable place to relax or grab a quick drink. The coffee was delicious, especially since they grind the beans right in front of you, which really brings out the fresh flavors. There’s also a wide variety of toppings and add-ons, so you can customize your drink exactly how you like it. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone who enjoys high-quality coffee in a bright and welcoming environment.“

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.“

“Been coming here since they opened. Lemon slices with water is awesome but I do have one complaint is the recent change to their chicken sumac recipe changed and my kids can’t eat the new saltier and spiced up recipe. Even the chicken shawarma is kind of spicy now and unable to feed to children. I hope you can fix this.“

“Love this place good place to eat“

“A total gem! A beautifully designed space with great food and genuinely thoughtful service! Highly recommend!“

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!“

“I stopped by around 12 PM and had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My order was taken quickly, the service was smooth, and the girl was polite. Overall, amazing customer service — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“First time here. The burgers were amazing!“

“My family and I are fans of their services. They offer exceptional halal pizza, perfect for a variety of events. Every time I’ve brought their pizza to an event, it has been a huge hit—guests always rave about it and ask where it’s from. Their customer service is truly outstanding. On one occasion, when my baby was asleep in the car and I couldn’t step out, they kindly brought the pizza directly to my car. Their helpfulness and consideration left a lasting impression.“

“This used to be my favorite noodle spot for years, thanks to its Hainan chicken noodle special and chicken rice plate. The dishes offered great value, and the soup, famously free of MSG, was a standout. For the price of a fast-food burger meal, you could enjoy a flavorful bowl of chicken noodles—an unbeatable deal.

Unfortunately, things have changed. Over the past six months, the quality of the chicken has noticeably declined. They’ve switched from ranch or cage-free chicken to a lower-quality alternative. The meat now has a mushy texture, barely surpassing that of Costco rotisserie chicken.

Even more disappointing is the addition of MSG to the soup base, which leaves you parched after finishing a bowl. While some might not mind, I don’t think my taste buds have changed—this isn’t the soup I once loved.

I’d recommend that Special Noodle Soup focus on preserving the quality of their signature dishes, even if it means raising prices. Compromising quality undermines the reputation they’ve built over the years.

I would like to hear your comments or it's just me getting older!!“

“Happy hour Pizzas 1/2 price 👍 Love BJS“

“I love eating at red hot wok, probably one of the best Taiwanese restaurants in the area.
Recommended dishes: sizzling lamb with black pepper sauce( you can choose any protein with the sauce, personally I prefer lamb), three cup chicken, stir fried lamb with bamboo shoots.“

“local business with great breakfast served.“

“Chicken & rice is everywhere now, but I think the chicken here is very tender and the selection is convenient.

The rice can be replaced with salad, when I want to eat a diet meal, I will buy chicken + salad here , or tofu .

Chicken can choose: white / dark meat with skin or without skin

The ginger sauce , Singapore soy sauce are my flavor sauce !“

“The patio dining is a great option but I heard the bar calling. A seat presented itself as I approached and prompt, professional service enhanced every drop of beer, both before and after lunch.“

“The Service: The owner herself was behind the counter preparing the orders. Totally a hands-on operator. She is very passionate about her store. She interacts with the customers & asks for feedback. Excellent customer service! The Dessert: I won't call these "beverages"? To me, they are totally "desserts"!! Look how colorful they are and beautifully plated. Perfect desserts for the summer~ They use real fresh fruits. Every sip I taste the real fruit, crystal jelly & other surprises. They are like dancing in my mouth, lots of different texture! They are not overly sweet. I just love the sweetness from those fresh fruits. They are vegan, gluten free, low sugar & low calories. 100% guilt-free dessert! I can't wait to go back & try other flavors. The Parking: Plaza parking lot, both ground floor & underground parking (free!)“

“Philz is always great and friendly. Unlike other coffee shops in the area, plenty of large tables for working are available. Many have outlets. The music is always great and I regularly Shazam songs playing on the speakers. The back (street facing) patio has a nice set of tables if you like to work outside.“

“Pad see ew was Delicious . Pad Thai was great, egg rolls was perfect Definitely will order again“

“Ordered the oolong milk tea with grass jelly. The grass jelly had great flavor and texture would definitely recommend! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Also open later than most of the shops in Cupertino Main St which is a big win for those of us who crave a sweet treat at night!“

“Very nice atmosphere and food!“

“Best ramen EVER ❤️ The tonkotsu is my all time favorite hands down!“

“XLB Kitchen is a real nice, clean, and pleasant place for a small Chinese restaurant. It serves foods of distinctive tastes and diverse styles beyond expectation. The service is prompt and warmhearted, giving you to feel at home and want to visit it regularly in the future and recommend the place to your friends, too.“

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the nigiri :) food was good, especially the agedashi tofu. The salmon lover was okay, but what made up for it was the amazing service. They were kind and very friendly while also not being overly intrusive.“

“Delicious sandwich, good attention, very clean.“

“Something has changed in the past few months and this has become my favorite pizza spot. Ample toppings, delicious sauce and dough cooked just enough but not too much. The Big Sur is my fav, but the mushroom, manresa and chicken & bacon are solid runner up’s.“

“Recommend getting a reservation before going. Service was a bit lacking, no welcome, and a bit rude. Luckily, most everything is automated. Food was decent. There was one issue with us not getting one of our orders but it was eventually resolved by staff, albeit again, not in the most friendly manner. Fish seemed fresher than another location of this chain so will probably return.“

“I admit I mostly came for the vegan braised pork rice and it did not disappoint. It was so so good.
I wish the green onion pancakes were vegetarian but I'm very excited to try the rest of the vegan menu and appreciate that they have it!“

“I totally recommend YAYOI Restaurant SM Cebu City branch! For their great & delicious food and great staff, especially to our server Ms. Ygerne 🫶“

“This restaurant catered the recent fund raiser for the Cupertino Historical society and the food WAS TO DIE FOR! The best food I’ve ever had at such an event. Standouts were the pineapple rice, the vegetable pastries the chicken satay the pad Thai and cooked chicken on a skewer the desserts were great too - little candied strawberries and tiny slices of an amazing cake. We are staff and we were just swooning over the tastes of everything. I want to take my mom to the restaurant now“

“Great food and experience!“

“They have quite a few vegan options, and it was my first time trying an Indian-style pizza — I was instantly in love! Such a unique and flavorful combo of Indian spices and classic pizza goodness. A must-try if you want something deliciously different.“

“Always love grabbing food here! A popular spot but their food quality is very consistent, large portions and so delicious! Tried their curry for the first time and it was so creamy and smooth, paired well with the salad and miso soup (not pictured)“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. Great food, friendly service. Kimchee chige, bbq short ribs, ban chan and purple mixed grain rice was delicious. Plus the tofu is non GMO. 👍🏻“

“Rice rolls had thin rice wrappers, which were nice but they were not "smooth" in texture so I did not enjoy them as much as I could've. But the shrimp was juicy, and the donut was crispy and the sauce for the rice roll was nice.
Siumai was good but a small portion. (4 bite pieces for $6.) We got the black chicken and pork soup as it seemed healthy but did not feel like it was worth ordering again. The chicken feet were yummy but I didn't know why they cut the feet in half. We also got the daikon cake with XO sauce, it is a bit spicy but I like that they pan fried it so it is crispy.
My favorite item was the milk pudding.
We did not try any porridge. I would not mind coming back here for more rice rolls and milk pudding if we are in the area.“

“I appreciate the they maintained high quality of sashimi, freshness of fish and beautiful cut according to the nature of the fish.“

“Bibimbap hot pot with spicey pork, yum. lots of great vegetables and and the pork with egg over rice.“

“Love this place. The freeze is my favorite!“
