15 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Harbor City

“Excellent food!!! Great service and we observed lots of take-away traffic“

“I experienced a lot of Thai food near here and I am a Thai food lover. So I can tell that portions are more sufficient than other restaurant, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is very good. If you are looking for the authentic Thai food, this is the right place“

“Who would’ve thought that some of the best Thai food in the U.S. is hiding in Harbor City? I really wish I’d discovered Warin Thai Restaurant sooner—I'd be a regular by now! Instead, I kept going back to what I thought was the best Thai spot in L.A., all while unknowingly driving right past Warin Thai every time. Now that I’ve found it, I have to say, this place is a hidden gem.

To be honest, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. But that’s pretty much the case with most places around here. Warin Thai is located in an old, modest strip mall, but let’s be real—you’re not here for the ambiance. You’re here for the incredible food, and trust me, it’s well worth it.

The menu at Warin Thai isn’t as huge as some other Thai restaurants, but it doesn’t need to be. There’s more than enough amazing options, from soups (which you can get by the bowl or pot), to appetizers like crispy chicken wings, fresh Thai salads, stir-fries, noodles, curries, and even dessert like mango sticky rice. Prices are pretty reasonable, too—about $8-14 for soups, starters, salads, and desserts, and $13-19 for the mains. And believe me, every bite is fantastic.

Here’s what we had for dinner:

Pad Thai ($13.95) – Stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, cilantro, lime, and a tasty sauce.
Pad See Ew ($13.95) – Stir-fried flat rice noodles with eggs and Chinese broccoli.
Garlic Salmon ($17.95) – Grilled salmon served with spinach and mashed potatoes, topped with garlic sauce.
Green Curry ($13.95) – Homemade green curry paste sautéed with coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and eggplant.
Panang Curry ($13.95) – Thai basil, bell peppers, and kaffir lime leaves in a rich Panang coconut curry.
Glass Noodle Salad ($13.95) – A refreshing mix of ground chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, onions, roasted peanuts, and cilantro, tossed in a spicy lime juice dressing.
Thai Fried Rice ($13.95) – Classic fried rice with egg, onions, and tomatoes.

Every dish was phenomenal. As someone with a Thai background who’s been to Thailand countless times, I’ve got to say I was seriously impressed. Thai people usually aren’t easily wowed by Thai food in the U.S., but this place totally nailed it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was just that good, but if I had to choose one, the Glass Noodle Salad really stood out. It was honestly one of the best salads I’ve ever had—juicy, sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. It’s a must-order for sure.

Overall, the food here is consistently amazing. If you’re craving Thai food, don’t hesitate—Warin Thai is where you want to go. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I work in Torrance and wanted Mexican food, the ratings looked good, so I decided to stop on my way home. I’m so glad I did! The burrito was delicious. There were two people ahead of me, and the nice man working the whole restaurant was really hustling to ensure we all got our food as quickly as possible. I was genuinely very impressed with how good everything was, and will likely be stopping by often after having such a good experience. The prices are really good too- I think my burrito and a bottled water was like $13. This is a cash only establishment, so just be aware of that. I typically don’t carry cash, but happened to have some today so it all worked out really well.“

“This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The food is muy sabrosa and the flavors pack a punch! My husband and I were both delightfully full after cleaning our plates, and my mouth was still dancing in wonder by the time I got home. The service is also spectacular, everyone who works there is just so kind and caring. We'll definitely be making Monarchas our new weekly treat!“

“We place an order for chicharon with queso pupusas, cheese quesadilla, and chicken taco dorado. Everything about the cuisine was freshly made and excellent! The chicken tacos dorados were so delicious that we wanted to keep ordering them.“

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“I've had a lot of hawaiian food in Southern California, but this place takes the cake. The chicken was chargrilled to perfection, rice was great, Mac salad was traditional style and amazing. I also love that they had parking, seating, and a nice big TV playing the college world series. Thank you guys so much for your amazing food. This will be my new place from now on.“

“This was a damn good burger. I found this place by accident and I am glad that I did. The service was great. Really friendly people. The burger I had was absolutely delicious. I'm definitely coming back here and recommending it to other people. 10/10“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“I went there on a Friday at 5pm and ordered a To Go and had to wait 50 minutes! ?The food was delicious, but the fried meat was hard and lacked meat. However, the crunchy texture of the fried food and the sweet and sour seasoning were delicious. It has a flavor that will go well with alcohol. The fried rice and Gold Beef were delicious.“

“amazing fresh fruit. large portions for cheap but amazing quality.“

“On Super bowl Sunday decided to get wingstop because had not had for a while. I went to Harbor City Location but with some hesitation due to the reviews. When I went I was greeted by everyone but Ms Amela with braids took my order. She was so polite, patience and informative. More importantly When I received food its was hot and fresh! After receiving my order I had to tell Ms Anna the manager job well done and Thank her for making sure everyone and everything was great. Definitely will be going back!“
