50 Best Vegetarian 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!“

“Aroma of all the freshly baked bread will draw you in. Then you'll see all the delicious classic savory and sweet Asian breads, and your eyes will pop and mouth water. Soon as you see the prices you'll leave with a bag full of goodies to share with the whole family. Absolutely awesome!“

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

“服務態度佳，不加收小費，上菜速度可，味道大多不錯。“

“My daughter and I really enjoy the ramen.“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“Dough Zone was great for a late dinner. The service was extremely fast (we waited less than a minute for a cold dish and got out of the restaurant within 30m) and the food was good. And best of all, the prices are extremely affordable. Many filling items are under $10 and parking is free. Would recommend!“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

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

“Very friendly and great service along with good food. We ordered both the langzhu hand pulled noodles which came with thin slices of pork. We also ordered the beef with pickled vegetables which we think has more flavor than the other dish. But both were excellent and the bowls were very large and came to our table a few minutes after we ordered. Service was exceptional with the staff asking several times if we needed anything else. The bathroom was very clean as well. We highly recommend this place.“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.

Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good，the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔）“

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

“Fast delivery, good taste, suitable for family, friends, company colleagues to have dinner together, each dish has a taste, especially when it is served, the taste is super fragrant. Love it.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat at in Cupertino.

QQ Noodle is a no frills, causal and quick service place. Don’t let that fool you though. The place is clean and the staff is friendly.

There is a QR code at each table and you scan to place your order. The waiters will then bring your food out to you. The food comes out quick and delicious.

What we ordered:

Liang Pi: This is one of my favorite dishes and not many places make this anymore. QQ Noodles makes my favorite Liang PI and this is a dish I will always order if I see it on the menu in both North Cal and NYC. The noodles are bouncy, the cucumbers refreshing and just the right level of spice. No frills deliciousness.

Sour Mustard and Grass Fish Noodle Soup: I tried it with wide noodle but next time I think I will get the round. The wide noodles are hand pulled which have that great texture and chew. It is done well so there is not a mouthful of dough like some other places. Fish is plentiful and so is the portion of sour mustard.

Large Plate Chicken Noodles (No Bone). Not on their printed menu, this was an option when you scan the QR code. They use chicken thighs and its braised with potato. Flavorful and just the right level of spice thats too spicy but offers a little kick for flavor.

If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for a quick meal. TP tea in the same strip mall is also a wonderful Bubble tea place that makes their drinks with brewed tea.“

“Taste so good~“

“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!“

“Great local winery in an excellent location for making fine wines“

“手工拉面不错，儿童友好，微辣的牛腩面也适合大人，总体不错，五星好评。“

“This place is so great OMG. I messed up my order but they still fixed it at no extra cost. They gave each cup of coffee individualized attention and made sure it was what we wanted. The selections are huge. They also have a lot of specialty sandwiches that I didn't get to try this time but will certainly try again when I'm in the area.“

“Love this place good place to eat“

“Hands down the best bakery I have ever been to. And I’ve gone to France and ate at those bakeries but this one beats them. I can not recommend enough, it is a must have.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!“

“My BFF and I've always come back for an really enjoyable dinner and the recent dining experience was no difference. Alexander's Steakhouse is the best around here for who we like to enjoy a "fine dining". Especially Thanks to Mr. Victor Luu, our offering us a great service.🫡 We will be back again.“

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

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

“Great food and experience!“

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

“I stopped by this pizza place recently and was really impressed! The staff was super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, making it a great spot to grab a casual bite with friends or family. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for good pizza and warm service!“

“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.“

“First time here. The burgers were amazing!“

“Great experience with breathtaking views“

“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 !“

“Delicious lunch, good portions“

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

“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.“

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

“Very nice atmosphere and food!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“The service was great, the lady serving us helped give us good vegetarian suggestions and even accommodated to give us veg steamed dumplings with chili oil as we really wanted to try it. But by far, the mapo tofu was our favorite. It was the perfect amount of spice. Recommend this place to vegetarians - for the really good food and great service!“

“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.“

“We searched on yelp to look for the place in cupertino and were so glad to have had dinner there. They have attentive service and food were fantastic. Asked the recommended with there staff and did not disappoint, friendly services, food was deliciously, and parking is reasonable. We will come back soon!!
Overall：5 star“

“Food is delicious. I recommend the garlic beef or the spicy garlic beef.

It can get a little smokey inside due to the sizzling plates, which I wish they invested a bit more in the ventilation.

It shares a lot with several other businesses, so at busy times, it can be hard to find parking“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“The wide range of Fresh and dry food available at this place is quite mind boggling. They also have many stations with a variety of cooked food selections, offering hot foods, cold food, salads, desserts etc. there is a sandwich counter, dosa counter, dessert shoppe. And everything is pretty good too !!“

“This little Chinese restaurant has been around for at least 5 years now, serving up Northern Chinese dishes that taste like home cooking! The food was so good, I didn't even think to ask for a fork lol There are no condiments or sauces on the tables, because you don't even need any! Each dish is full of flavor and for the spicy ones (think szechuan), you can let your server know your preferred level of spiciness. Prices are reasonable here and they give big portions! If you're ever in the South Bay and craving Chinese food, definitely stop by Royal Cuisine, they offer dine-in or takeout!
