33 Best Vegan Restaurants in El Monte

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Cute place with inside seating. Salmon bowl came with good size portion of salmon, cucumbers, tomato and spinach on a bed of brown rice. oh, and nicely spiced secret sauce. I definitely recommend and will be coming back to try some breakfast options.“

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

“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.“

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

“This is a very cozy spot to grab a good meal. It’s not fancy or over the top, but that’s honestly part of its charm. It feels like a small local Japanese place where the focus is simply on serving good, comforting food.

The staff were very kind as well. It happened to be raining when we arrived, and they were nice enough to let us come in a little earlier than opening, which we really appreciated.

I ordered the pork cutlet with curry and the portion was very generous — definitely satisfying and full of flavor. The only small hiccup was that my Diet Coke was forgotten at first, so I had to ask again, but they brought it out shortly after.

Overall, it was a really pleasant experience. If you’re looking for a casual place with tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The price per person is also very reasonable for the portion sizes you get.“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“The food AND service is always good they have friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. Went today around 1 pm whoever was in the kitchen has it on lock, it was amazing. Laura was the cashier / server she was also amazing, had to leave a review!“

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

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

“Delicious and flavorful dim sum! Portion sizes are huge! They aren't the little tiny servings at the dim sum restaurants.

It's take out only. And cash is preferred but they take credit cards too.

This is an old school mom and pop place and the owners are super gracious and down to earth! Prices are cheap too!

Go support them!“

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

“Love the food!“

“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.“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“They currently have an A inspection rating. (I saw some old comments saying they had a C). I stopped there today for the first time to check if I could get a lunch combo box at that time of day. It was like 3pm though, so they didn't have any. I think she said to call ahead of time and she can prepare it for you, but I'm not totally sure that's what she said. I got a couple vegan mushroom rice wraps instead, and they were really good.“

“I love love love the red curry. I’m a big fan of spicy 🌶️food and always get disappointed when I order my curry extra spicy and find it too mid, but not here. The curry is flavorful and the heat is there (if you like it that way). This is my go to for lunch for not only the flavor but value.“

“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 🥰🤣“

“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.“

“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!“
