32 Best Vegan Restaurants in El Monte

“Staff are awesome!! Yogurt is very yummy!“

“Everyone so nice to us. Really enjoyed the restaurant and its employees“

“Highly recommend! We live a half hour away from this dumpling house, and were in the neighborhood to get our car serviced. We decided to have lunch here and it’s extremely tasty! Everything was very good. We will definitely come back for more, even if we have to drive a half hour ☺️.“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want.

Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot.

We need to come back again to give it a second try.“

“I love this place! I got the soyrizo bagel, pesto chicken bowl, and a carrot pressed juice. Everything was delicious, literally one of the beat bagels I’ve ever had. I got to try a sample of the avocado banana smoothie and would definitely come back for it. The place is also super clean and the staff was friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“The food was really however you had to pay like 2 dollars for each additional topping which wouldn't be so bad if it were a sharable size so more than one person could use them

Kid-friendliness: Not many kid friendly options“

“Food here is always top quality, can't go wrong with $2 pancakes made so well and with care. Also, top notch as well as excellent customer service. :)“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Tiny little mom and pop place in the Arden Plaza between Bank of America and Action Lanes bowling. The kind lady served me. Seems pretty clean and quiet. I'll update you on my food soon.

Update! Food is beautiful and delicious“

“The service is amazing. The staff are so patient and friendly! The tacos are was so delicious!! Also their salsa and homemade hot sauces are so good! Definitely recommend to get their dragon fruit drink if available! Also there are dog friendly tacos!! Only thing is parking, just find street parking.“

“Best food I've had around the area. workers super friendly. Highly recommend 💖“

“la comida mui rica el servicio excelente lo recomiendo 💯%👌👍“

“I had a bowl of pho at Pho 99 and it was amazing! The broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender, and the noodles were just right. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and cozy. Highly recommend for pho lovers!“

“delicious breakfast at a very good price and a very friendly atmosphere“

“very good comfort food that you can really dig into<3“

“Came here with my wife and got yogurt. Tart was not working so the girl kindly got it working for me. I left a $2 tip. The owner comes in at the end of her shift, takes the money from the can . I may have mistaken, but that was dirty imop. Give the tips to the workers..
Edit.. My apologies. Hopefully they have a special blend of yogurt for those so inclined to steal tips from workers. ?“

“I came from canada and I was driving around to look for some Indian food that's where I saw curry time and spoke to the host Amita MONGA and the way she welcomed me was unbelievable and the food that she recommended was so mouth watering that I couldn't resist and took some food for home as well for my family Must try thief food“

“Very small Ramen restaurant. The Daikokuya Ramen with fried rice is delicious. Edemame was lightly salted and really. I noticed a lot of to go orders, so it is a local favorite.“

“a very pleasant atmosphere“

“If you love the a la carte dim-sum to-go that you can get in downtown LA's Chinatown but don't want to drive that far and have to pay for parking and deal with the traffic then this is a great compromise. A little more expensive than the options you'll find in Chinatown but I save so much more time and money going here coming from Pomona that this is my new go-to for dim-sum in a pinch.“

“Had a great experience here the other day. Looks to be a family run thing. I think it’s the dad who is cooking and the son helps out and I believe the mom. Love seeing this kind of thing. Need more of it. And the food is also really good haha. I’d definitely recommend their Caldo De Res or their Enchilada plate.“

“Love the food!“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“It is a Togo vegan place with delicious bento box at amazing price. My mom who is vegan always asks me to stop by whenever I am visiting her to grab her a bento box. They do take credit card (used to be cash only). They also have a lot of frozen food for sale.“

“They have really good Soups. Fried rice is pretty tasty as well as the Green / Red curry. Prices have increased quite a bit in the last couple of years . I do wish they close little later at least on the weekends. Please fix your sofa seating area, it is ripping off.

Vegetarian options: Several dishes can be made with veggies and/or tofu.“

“Food: 8/10-10/10 (best orange chicken I've had, oddly enough)

Service: 11/10

Atmosphere: 6/10 (small, skinny and sometimes under air-conditioned; Jeopardy in the TV is a nice touch though-- definitely a candidate for Guy Fieri's Triple-D!)

We moved to the SGV 13 years ago. This was one of the very first restaurants we tried out (other good ones: El super burrito Jr. and Golden Deli). We've dined in on Thai Exellente food ever since, and it is our go-to Thai eatery. The place seems to be run by about 3 women (of whom one, the cook, is seen only from behind, working the stove top), and the service over that decade-plus had been uniformly courteous, friendly and excellent (5/5, 10/10, pick your scale)!

Nov. 10: different recipes today and a newer look inside: has this place changed owners? Say it isn't so! O.o

Poignant, bc we are moving out of the SGV this month. :'/

Adios, T.E. !!“

“We love Mr. Chopsticks food, our favorite is fried pork chops, long green beans. We also have tried and liked honey almond shrimp. There’s so much food to pick from and you can go family style.“

“The beef pho wasn't as tasty as other places, though maybe because there was an event that day and they keep adding water to the broth or something. Not too much meat either. I'll come back to try other stuff on their menu like their sandwich and drinks. Decent amount of parking as it shares the plaza with other stores. Not much seating inside.“

“I've been coming here for food since 2016 so this is a review that is long overdue.

Pros: They serve decent fast food/take out style Vietnamese food at affordable prices. Prices had risen due to inflation but that is to be expected.

Cons: The service can be all over the place. Expect to deal with unenthusiastic staff, language barriers and sometimes slow services.“
