50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Gold River

“I been to 5 mexican restaurants in the Rancho area, and this is our favorite spot. Meats are well seasoned, food is really good and prices are pretty reasonable. Every time I been there,.customer service has been great! I recommend their birria Thursdays!“

“I order online from here several times a month, and it’s consistently great! The food is always ready on time, and the staff are fast, polite, and efficient. The sushi quality is reliable and tastes freshly made every time.

My son is obsessed with the seafood udon—he loves the generous variety of seafood in it. And my daughter can't get enough of the Cherry Blossom roll (honestly, I don’t blame her).

This place has become a go-to for our family sushi nights, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Every saturday I get a medium pizza to go right at 3pm here at this location in Gold River CA like clock work for over a year. All the employees there are great and I really mean that, it literally has become like an extended family. However, one employee really stands out. His name is Gem and this young man is way ahead of the game with me. He usually prepares my pizza himself and makes it LOADED with fixings and cheese, I literally need a fork to eat it! To top it off, he generally see's me walking up to the door and comes out from the back with my order in hand and beats me to the service counter, then prints the receipt and I am out the door, never have I had to wait! You are SUPER GEM!! Someone there please give him a raise!! Its hard to find workers like Gem, so when you do, reward them as you should and hold on to 'em!“

“This restaurant truly offers a one-of-a-kind experience. The interior is beautifully designed, blending traditional Asian elements with modern touches to create a stylish yet comfortable setting. The staff were attentive and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was the star of the show, though. The sushi rolls were some of the best I’ve had, bursting with flavor and topped with delicate garnishes. The miso-glazed cod was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender inside. Every dish was a flavor explosion. A must-visit for any food lover!“

“I’ve been to this place once visiting my cousin and to say it was the best steak I’ve ever tasted in my ever loving life would be a huge understatement! I don’t know when I will ever make it to that part of the country (I live in South Carolina) but when I do, Sutter Street will definitely be on the itinerary!“

“Excellent customer service. Tasty authentic food. Great dining experience.“

“Sunflower Drive-In has not changed in many years. I came here prior to becoming vegan and thought it was good, now I think it's out of this world. Just had a Nutty taco, plenty of food especially with a side order of refried beans. But unlike most food establishments they give you an option of either vegan cheese or avocado on everything. So this is a must visit Drive-In for a very good vegan meal.“

“I’ve been to El Cantaro in Monterey about 10 times! I’m looking forward to going to the Sacramento version of this restaurant today! That has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I love the fact that it doesn’t say vegan plant-based and all that stuff everywhere. It’s basically just a Mexican restaurant that happens to be Vegan. Can’t wait to come and visit!“

“Good food and good price.“

“Some of the best food I've had on quite some time. 🩷“

“Not sure exactly where to start but this restaurant has some serious customer service issues and that's just one category we were very disappointed in. We ordered online last night to try it out as we saw so many great reviews for the food so we broke from tradition and on my birthday we decided to eat here. All we ordered was a Helen, Cheese Fondue, and the Meatball rigatoni. I received an email stating the food would be ready in about 45 minutes. We left 35 minutes later as it's only up the street from where we live. As we arrive we noticed it's a little corner spot with patrons and appears to be more of a quaint little sit down restaurant and my wife and I thought maybe next time we just come in instead of take out. We stood there for about 2-3 minutes and then guy yells from across the room that he will be with us in a minute. He didn't seem to have anything he was really doing but ok. So finally an older guy comes over and asks us if we have been helped. We told him we were there to pick up our order, and he says he will go check on it. After a few minutes he comes back and says he tried to call us (no record of any missed calls on my phone) and that the rigatoni with meatballs was not available and he wasn't sure how it let us order that online. We don't know either and we definitely know you didn't try calling us to tell us that. Anyways he provided the option for a refund or to make my wife another dish. He mentioned shrimp scampi as the alternative, now the rigatoni was $25 a plate and they didn't even have shrimp scampi on the menu so I was skeptical since usually if they make something good it would be on their menu. So we waited for another 10 minutes for this SCAMpi. I capitalize scam because that's exactly how we felt when they tried to give us this alternative dish and we looked at it. I wish I had taken a picture of what they brought out for $25.... It was literally a small portion of large macaroni noodles, and no more than maybe 6-7 small chunks of shrimp in some greasy sauce that looked totally unseasoned... Gross. I wouldn't feed anything that dish and they should have never tried to replace a main dish like that with something as disappointing as what we received. So I took the container back into the restaurant as we hadn't left the parking lot as I wanted to see first just what they felt was comparable to the $25 we just spent. I found the guy who helped us and just explained that we wanted the refund and the scampi was not acceptable. He said ok and said right after that the refund was already processed. Now to the other food. The pizza was $23 and the cheese fondue was $13. Normally $23 for a pizza isn't crazy, but this was literally the size of a medium if that, and was extremely bare of ingredients. It taste pretty good, but wasnt worth the money at all. I don't eat a lot, and I was able to eat half of this pizza alone without even blinking. The cheese fondue was ok but not memorable. So now today I get up and take a look at my bank account to see if the refund was actually processed, and what do I see? Instead of a refund, I was charged again for that SCAMpi and not actually refunded! I wouldn't dine here again with the lack of customer service, value, and lack of integrity. I will be going back in again to get this straightened out and am not happy about it.“

“As a skeletal being, I don’t often indulge in the pleasures of the culinary world, but my recent visit to Umami Ramen was a delightful exception. Upon entering, I was greeted by the rich aroma of simmering broth that tantalized my non-existent taste buds. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with wooden accents and dim lighting—perfect for a bony figure seeking refuge from the chill of the grave. I opted for the signature ramen, “shiro ramen” a spine-tingling favorite. The broth was rich and deeply savory, with layers of umami that could awaken even the most dormant of bones. Each slurp brought a satisfying warmth that sent shivers down my… well, you get the idea. The noodles were perfectly chewy, a delightful contrast to my otherwise brittle frame. I appreciated how they held onto the broth, ensuring each bite was flavorful. The toppings—a generous scattering of green onions and a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg—were visually appealing and added a delightful texture. For a skeleton, the highlight was undoubtedly the marrow-infused broth, which was rich enough to make me almost forget my lack of flesh. It was comforting in a way that transcended the corporeal. Service was friendly, and the staff even chuckled at my bony demeanor, which I took as a compliment. Overall, Umami Ramen provided an experience that was both hearty and hauntingly good. In conclusion, I may not have the capacity to eat in the traditional sense, but I can confidently say this ramen is to die for. Highly recommended for all the living and the occasionally wandering skeletal souls.“

“I have ordered from these guys at least three or four times delivered by DoorDash and I am typically a foodie when it comes to gourmet food and these guys got it nailed down even for a pizza place- very quality and wide menu selection keep up the great work“

“Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this Thai restaurant is a hidden gem that absolutely blew me away! The service was truly outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience.

Every single dish was bursting with flavor, but their Khao Soi was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. They even took the time to suggest perfect pairings of their delicious chili crunch with a couple of dishes, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Though I don't live in the state, I'll absolutely go out of my way to visit and support this incredible family-run restaurant whenever I can.“

“We wanted to give this pizza place a try as it's in the same shopping center as the Bel Air we shop at. Not bad! Lots of toppings on the pizza and great taste. Ordered on their app before we exited Bel Air and only had to wait a few minutes when we picked our pizzas up.“

“My boyfriend and I now frequent Sushi Star since discovering the place a couple of months ago! It’s always very clean. A very pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress has always been Yi. She is very pleasant and thorough. Now, then there is the master sushi chef, Eric! IOHO we think he makes the best sushi we have ever had hands down! Our BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION IS THE BAKED SCALLOPS! ABSOLUTELY DYNAMITE! Thanks guys! Neil & Courtney“

“Fast service and very authentic ambiance and food, cheerful staff“

“This place is amazing! The food is 🔥🔥🔥 and the family that runs it is awesome! Highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of great quality food and a great price! Keep up the good work Folsom Pizza and Kabob! ⚡️🤘🏼⚡️“

“The food was amazing and the service was even better! We split the beet salad and gnocchi starters and they were both so yummy! The sauce on the gnocchi was especially delicious. We also split the cod entree and it was cooked to perfection. The kitchen even split the starters and entree for us which we definitely were not expecting. Desserts were also great and it was nice to be able to treat my mother to this special experience. She is still raving about it.“

“The food was simply sensational, exceeding our expectations with every bite. The sushi was exquisitely prepared, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients that delighted my taste buds. What truly set this place apart was the warm and inviting atmosphere, where the staff treated us like a cherished guests. From their friendly greetings to their attentive service, we felt a genuine sense of belonging. This combination of exceptional cuisine and heartfelt hospitality made our experience truly memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Silver Sake to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience where the food is extraordinary and the feeling of being part of a family is unparalleled.“

“I have enjoyed this unique dinning experience several times over the years. Each time offered a unique experience, with each being outstanding. The food and entertainment remind me of a Las Vegas production in both style and quality. The true superstar is Connie in customer service. She made sure all our reservations and meal selections met our needs. She is not only helpful but, she is patient and extremely helpful and delightful. When in doubt, trust her recommendations. Thank You, Connie!“

“Dining at Casablanca Moroccan Restaurant was one of the most immersive experiences I’ve had in Sacramento. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted with the warm scents of spices like cinnamon, cumin, and saffron that instantly transported me across the world. The décor was colorful and cozy, filled with Moroccan lamps and details that made it feel authentic. I ordered a chicken tagine, and it was absolutely incredible - the chicken was tender and juicy, the sauce was rich and fragrant, and the couscous on the side soaked up every bit of flavor. I also tried their lentil soup, and it felt like the perfect comfort food, hearty yet balanced. The highlight for me was how everything tasted slow-cooked and made with care - nothing felt rushed or generic. The staff were welcoming and genuinely happy to explain the dishes, which made me appreciate the experience even more. Dining here felt less like going out to eat and more like being invited into someone’s home. It was flavorful, soulful, and one of the most unique dining experiences I’ve had in Sacramento.“

“My first time to starbread, really enjoyable fantastic selection and fresh bread as all get out. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a soft moist slice of bread covered in sugar and slightly shiny. We order the 30 piece a cream cheese rollup an apple rollup, a lemon malasada, corned beef roll. All absolutely delicious!“

“Best pizza in town guaranteed!“

“A welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home and special. Almost like you are family!“

“Chicken plate was really good. Husband said it's the best rice he's ever had. My beef and lamb gyro was amazing!! Baklava was TOP NOTCH! We look forward to eating here many times again.“

“Shout out to La Placita ! I think it’s been about 5 to 7 years since I’ve been to the restaurant. My family and I have been eating there for over 20+years . I can’t tell you how excited I was to see some friendly faces still there. The food was off the hook like they’ve never skipped a beat. Same excellent service and same excellent food.“

“We used to drive down to San Jose for vegetarian food , and now we found Noble Vegetarian closer to our home . Even my 9 years old son said he wanted to come back !“

“Food and service are both amazing!“

“We haven’t been to Chili’s in a few years but decided to drop in for an early dinner today. What awesome friendly and fast service! This was the best service we have had anywhere in recent months. Thanks to Ashley, our server, as well as the others.“

“Went back to the Melt this afternoon for a burger and shake. This place never disappoints. Good food and great service thanks lacy for the hospitality and service
Will continue to come back. Always a delicious meal and atmosphere.
Thank you for the service you deliver“

“This place is a true gem! My husband and I have ate here twice now and we have NOT been disappointed. Our first time there he ordered a burger of some sort and I got the grilled chicken sandwhich in a lettuce wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. Our second time around he got the pesto crepe with fries, and I got the Mediterranean crepe with salad. We both agreed that my crepe was better, despite our love of pesto, but both were good. The fries and salad hit the spot as well, mostly because their ranch dressing is fantastic. Prices were definitely reasonable. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. Whether you want savory or sweet there's something for everyone!“

“I like this place a lot just make sure if you are planning to go to get there earlier if possible, if you are going for a weekend dinner i reccomend going 2 hours in advance since the waitlist is always pretty long. The employees are all really nice and i have never felt bad after eating here“

“The food was very delicious.“

“WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service! There were six of us and we all ordered something different off the menu and we tasted and shared everything and it was excellent…… I would not consider this to be pub food……. it is exceptional! I wish they would open one in El Dorado Hills!!!“

“The old-fashioned are so good and the brunch menu never disappoints❤“

“Great food and stellar service absolutely love this place.“

“Great halibut with risotto dinner!“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“I've been eating at this place for years. I'm so happy they've survived the challenges that come with running a small mom and pop shop, including the pandemic when a lot of businesses didn't survive. Their food is craveworthy, their service is always pleasant, and I appreciate that their operation is very clean. This place is a real gem, and if you haven't tried them yet you're missing out. This is my go to cheese steak any time the desire hits (even better than Capriottis!)“

“great food and great service Thanks to the wonderful staff“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“

“Ate here for dinner before going to the movies last week. Food was really good and the service was wonderful. Andy was very helpful with the choice of our food. Going back tomorrow with the family to celebrate our anniversary. We moved here from the Bay Area a year ago and this place exceeded our expectation.“

“First time coming to the restaurant, the people who work here were very nice. The food was gone in minutes of me bringing it home. I would definitely recommend this place and will return when in the area or passing Greenback/Elkhorn exit on 80 since it is conveniently located a few minutes off the highway exit.“

“the best place for lunch in sacramento been coming here for years and years the food is always amazing and the staff is top of the line this is a sacramento staple a must try place to come eat and visit i promise come try there food and you will always come back for more“

“Clean organized professional friendly service!
Thank you for offering the community a fair price and great value for fantastic healthy cooking!
Beef and lamb Shwarma was the best I've ever had!
All food is very healthy

One critique is to keep prices the same however could you provide an option to pay for example hummus and maybe garlic sauce option for your combos. Maybe $1.99 extra more for combo meals.
The meal would be elevated to offer hummus and garlic sauce with your combo meals.“

“Each time we visit the service is fantastic, every dish that we've had has been wonderful, favorites have been the Birria tacos. Noodle dishes have not disappointed! The on tap beer selection is phenomenal (Belgian baby), cocktails are well made, currently my favorite place in town.“

“We love this place!!! The sushi is delicious and the Spicy Garlic Edamame is a meal in itself. The staff is friendly and the food is brought out to the table in a timely manner.“

“One Great burger place ... Service is fantastic ... Burgers are delicious and the Atmosphere is perfect for great tasting burgers ...

Only problem ... figuring out how ... to eat that burger with the big ol splash of melted cheese on it ... 😋“
