50 Best Vegan Restaurants near East Palo Alto

“This small Mexican cafè is unusual and authentic. It is a house converted into a restaurant. Not fancy, but the food is very good! My usual is the Supreme Borito which is big enough for two maybe three people, but I never stop eating until it is completely gone. That is easy to do because it is the real stuff. It is in an ethic neighborhood, and the conversation is mostly Spanish. I come to the area once a month and 4 out of 5 times I get my lunch there. That is not going chance any time soon.“

“Best place to shop everything for the house: variety, good prices and pleasant environment😁“

“We enjoyed our brunch and dinner here. The food quality was excellent. The desserts were top notch. The wait staff was friendly and eager to serve. We have been here twice on separate days for brunch and dinner. Both offered excellent values.“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Adorable, small family atmosphere with large food portions. Peaceful and clean. I ordered the soft Chow Mien and thoroughly enjoyed the heaping portion of perfectly cooked vegetables. The mushrooms were shiitake- quality food rather than cheap oyster mushrooms.

One man was handling the tables and to-go orders. Arrive patient and understanding- he works hard and walks slow due to pain. Your good food is well worth the minute or two wait.

The menu holds both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“We were visiting from Boston on a family trip and stopped by this restaurant on July 2. The food was absolutely delicious(my top pick is black king but sides are also good, chicken and dumplings), but what made our visit truly unforgettable was the incredible hospitality from one of your staff members.

Unfortunately, we never got his name, but he was a Korean staff member. From the moment we were waiting in line, he noticed our 5yo drawing on the order sheet and kindly interacted with her. Throughout our meal, he kept checking on us and made our whole family feel so welcome.

Before we finished our meal, he came over to let us know that he was heading home for the day. Because of that, we never had the chance to properly thank him, which is something we’ve regretted ever since.

Our trip lasted two weeks, taking us all the way from San Diego to San Francisco, and we visited many wonderful restaurants along the way. Yet, almost a month later, our kids still talk about “the uncle” from this restaurant and keep asking when we can come back. That says more than any review ever could.

If we ever have the opportunity, we’d love to come back just to thank him in person. And if by any chance you’re reading this review—thank you for making our family trip so special. Your kindness left a lasting memory for all of us.

If you ever find yourself visiting Boston, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love the chance to return the kindness you showed our family.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Zareen’s is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving flavorful, high-quality meat. My favorites are the beef chapli kebab, chicken tikka, and their newest addition—the chicken chargha—which is easily one of the best things on the menu. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you really can’t go wrong here.

It’s the perfect combination of comforting, satisfying food and incredibly delicious protein. The restaurant does get quite busy during peak meal times, so if you’d rather skip the wait, I’d recommend ordering takeout or visiting during off-peak hours.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Mala Town is hands down one of the best spots for Sichuan dry pot in Union City! You get to pick your own ingredients and spice level, and they stir-fry everything to perfection with that addictive numbing-spicy mala flavor. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and prices are fair for the quality.

The medium spice has a nice kick, but if you love heat, go for the higher levels—it’s legit spicy! Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving bold flavors and want a fun, shareable meal.“

“Delicious and wonderful as has always been! Loved the watermelon salad and the lamb skewers. Pan-fried cheese, might have benefitted a clearer description as was thinking it was more like a halloumi but of course, is my ignorance but perhaps others would be, also. Calamari delicious. Baklava was outstanding, also. Cannot wait to go back, again!“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“The garlic fries and pickles are a must-have, and the burgers are crisp and juicy! When I had a problem using a coupon on an order, the staff was kind enough to give me my burger for free. Definitely go here for good customer service and awesome food!“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“I heard a lot about this place from my friends, I got four jars, two mango mochi, which was my favorite!!! The coconut pudding is light and not too sweet which was perfect with the mango and the mochi. Mango sticky rice was good but there was too much red rice and the ratio wasn’t great. The strawberry matcha one was my least favorite, it didn’t taste of both and was bland.
It’s recommended to finish them the same day you get them, I noticed it started releasing water the next day.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“The Dal makhani tasted like I’m back in Delhi. I would recommend pairing that with Garlic Naan. I always do Kothay momos half and half with veg and chicken. And do whatever you may but please don’t skip on their chai-few places that serve chai where you can actually taste the ginger and cardamom.“

“I went in here expecting a passable quick kebab, and was actually really impressed with how everything tasted and how fresh the salad was. The baklava was absolutely delicious too.

I suggest asking them to fry the fries longer than normal. They tasted good but are like in n out fries so if you want em crispy get em fried a tad bit longer.“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“Amazing experience! I’ve eaten here three days in a row, and every visit has been fantastic. We had a small mix-up with our order today, but Ahmed was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us get everything sorted out. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was so good it was literally dance-worthy. Highly recommend!“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“I stopped by this restaurant after a hike nearby. The food is easily the best American food I’ve ever had. The place is like a museum, filled with the owner’s personal collection and gifts that were so fun to watch. Really enjoyed my time there!“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“Went for dinner on Wednesday night, party of 3. Had burgers, salads, fries and onion rings. Food came quickly and was hot, fresh and very flavorful. The person who took our order ( counter service) was energetic and friendly. After we got our food, she came to check on us and refilled our drinks. Great experience!“

“We had a fantastic time! The food was incredible, with the chicken kebab and Greek salad being particular standouts. The combo appetizer was also a hit. Clarisa provided exceptional service, taking care to explain each dish and making sure we had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back and highly recommend it to others!“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“This small and cozy restaurant offers a greasy service, but their chain of restaurants is renowned for their delicious Ramen. We started with chicken karagee, which was filled with cheese ramen, chicken ramen, house ramen, and spicy pork bowl. The food arrived quickly, within a few minutes. The chicken starter was good, with tender meat. The chicken ramen was perfectly balanced with spices, creating a flavorful bowl of food. I also tried the spicy pork bowl, which was interesting and enjoyable. To finish our meal, we had green tea softie and matcha latte float. Both were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“muy buen servicio y el personal muy atento como trailero para en barios pero este es muy bueno“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“The Lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes are a MUST!! They paired so well with the Hobee’s 50/50 (half tea, half lemonade) and made for a nice, light brunch combo! Will definitely be circling back to try that salmon fettuccine and coffee cake next!“

“Great breakfast spot in the middle of the mountains! The drive to get there is beautiful, and the outdoor seating makes the whole experience even better. The food was really good, and the staff was friendly and fast, even with a long line. Definitely worth the drive. Highly recommend!“
