34 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“

“the restaurant is super clean. If you show up thinking you're going to order Orange chicken, Broccoli beef, kung pao chicken or any of that chinese fast food then this is not the place for you. BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.“

“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.“

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

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The staff  was outstanding very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The highlight for me was the smoked salmon bagel, which was honestly the best I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.“

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

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

“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“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Really good place to go eating Mimi is one of the best in this place. Dennys El Monte on the flair.“

“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“

“What more can be said. This wonderful restaurant offers some of the best Mexican food in Southern California.
We ordered the torta de asada, taco superior de buche, asada nachos and an esquite.
Every single bite was a wonderful experience.
I added the mango habanero sauce to my torta and it paired so well, it added that sweetness to the torta that elevated the food. The taco was also absolutely amazing.
None of the food was dry or bland, the tortilla was even delicious on its own. I would highly highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite and try the Aguas Fresca too!

Thank you Ixmoto Taqueria for the vibes!“

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

“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!“

“Los pasteles 🧁 muy deliciosos Frozen yogurt muy ricos 🤑 de todos savores“

“Really good place to go eating Mimi is one of the best in this place. Dennys El Monte on the flair.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service was prompt and the food arrived fresh and hot.Last time I had Yellow Curry which is really good, now I tried their pineapple curry which is also awesome, Fried Banana was really awesome I forgot I was in Thai resto 🤣 If you’re looking for satisfying meal, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back for a third round soon! Planning to have more dessert but Im so full 🥰🤣“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed the Vietnamese restaurant BMC Pho! I ordered pho #1 — the broth was rich and aromatic, the meat was perfectly cooked, with fresh herbs and a well-balanced flavor. The portion was large and filling, served hot and presented nicely. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and clean. You can tell they prepare authentic Vietnamese cuisine with care. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves real pho and quality Asian food.“

“For just under $30, you can dive into an absolute seafood feast every Saturday! Indulge in all-you-can-eat snow crab, delicious sushi, freshly made beef noodles with veggies, succulent scallops, flavorful fish, a vibrant salad bar, warm bread, mouthwatering pizza, delightful popcorn, and perfectly sautéed shrimp. The fried shrimp was seriously fantastic—crispy and bursting with flavor! Honestly, it’s the best meal I’ve enjoyed in a decade. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!“
