50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Kensington

“This was the BEST food I've had in years. I sat there and literally closed my eyes so I could savor the experience and feel ever morsel move through my body. We had the Richmond Roll and the Pink Lady. The vegetarian options are so delicious that I am going to go back over and over again just to try everything on the menu. I literally stopped my conversation because I was having such a spiritual experience with the food. I could not focus on anything other than enjoying it. The customer service was incredible. The staff was so friendly and kind. The presentation of the dishes is immaculate. I felt like I was getting a Michelin star quality meal.

Please go try this. It's so good and so worth the money. I am in awe. ?“

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.“

“Great event! Will try the Bangers and Mash next time!“

“One of my absolute favorite restaurants in SF. Visited a few times and this past one really reminded me why this place is special. The food is fantastic, but never pretentious. Maggie mentioned her favorite item was the salad which I couldn’t believe, but to be honest I think it was my favorite too. The black cod and the daikon rice cake were also insanely good. The service was exception, huge shout out to Maggie for her help with our allergies too. Highly recommend!!“

“Great sushi place on Polk. Nice bar counter seating. A few other tables. Intimate setting. Food is fresh and innovative. Great wide selection of different fish to choose from. Sushi chefs are informative and friendly. Only downside is parking is difficult in the area. Take Uber!“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“One of our top dining experiences. The vibe of the entire experience was spectacular from the dark yet vibrant decor, the background music selection, the colorful plating selections that made the food visually pop, and to the careful and detailed food presentation. Just stunning - all of my senses were dancing in delight.

The staff is incredibly friendly and the chefs top notch. The taco courses were our favorite. The entire progression was exceptional and well executed.“

“From our personal experiences, most vegan restaurants have had very friendly and kind people working in there as compared to non-vegan restaurants. This place wasn’t one of those places.

Food was excellent but customer service has a lot of room for improvement. Staffs seem they don’t like working there and hate when a customer walks in. Especially a woman who has a masculine voice, she probably had a bad day or something, she was annoyed for no reason.
Others were welcoming and seem trying at a bare minimum.
I would not go to the restaurant again but would definitely get the DoorDash delivery from there.“

“We arrived at 4:50pm on a rainy Sunday and waited ~45mins to get seated (group of 3). The restaurant’s capacity can accommodate 28 guests and they were very efficient with their process (i.e. they took note of group size in line, made sure people reviewed the menu before getting seated, and they had an one-hour limit). Our service was quick. We had both the signature and spicy versions of Tori Paitan, and spicy lamb ramen. Also an order of their seasonal Hokkaido uni and A5 wagyu hand roll. The broth of all 3 ramens was rich, full of umami. Spice added more to the flavor but almost non-existent on the heat front. Chashu was a great balance of fatty part and meat. The fried shaved carrots and eggplant in the lamb ramen were such a pleasant touch to the bowl of perfectly chewy ramen. The A5 wagyu was buttery and melted in your mouth good. Uni was just okay - I had higher expectations with Hokkaido uni. The sushi rice was a bit on the dry side as well. All being said, I’d still say this is a place I would return.“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“Amazing vegetarian Chinese food. The fried “chicken” was close to normal chicken for me. Mapo tofu also slapped and the fried rice was hearty and delicious. Staff were really helpful and kind as well. The soup was very peppery, so just be read for that. Highly recommend it :)“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“I lived in Berkeley in the 80’s & early 90’s. To this day, I miss their veggie pot stickers & Kung Pao Chicken. I love the Long Life Vegi House 💚💚💚“

“We loved our long lunch at Zuni Cafe during a recent SF trip. We sat upstairs next to the window. The chicken & bread salad is amazing. The NA cocktails and NA wine are delicious, as were the alcoholic options. Service was lovely. Highly recommend if you have time to linger over a meal.“

“Great breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! 🤩🍽️🔥

I ended up getting my lunch to-go because the place was packed when I arrived — always a great sign! 👏 I ordered the chicken adobo over rice and it was delicious. 🍗🍚 The chicken was tender and well-flavored. I personally could have used just a little more seasoning and maybe a touch of heat 🌶️, but I’m not sure if traditional chicken adobo is supposed to be spicy — either way it was still really good.

The rice was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was almost perfect. It probably got shuffled around a little during my walk back to the office 🚶🏽‍♂️, but it still looked great when I opened it.

The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. ✨ The person who took my order was very friendly, and the staff member who handed me my meal when it was ready was also super friendly and professional. Great customer service! 🙌

10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — I would’ve given it an 11 if I could! Definitely coming back to try more dishes, especially Silog Thursday (I may not be spelling or pronouncing that perfectly 😄 but I’m excited to try it!).

I stopped in today March 13 around 1:00 PM, and it was busy — especially considering they close at 2 PM. That tells you everything you need to know! 👏🔥

“Short wait on a Friday night for 7 of us. Really small place but the wait staff and owner very friendly and everyone was very happy with their meal. If I lived here I would go back.“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“Healthy food is always the best choice“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“We saw there was a long line and figured it must be really good? We got a slice of pizza and it did not disappoint! The pizza melted in your mouth and had so much flavor! We really enjoyed trying it!“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“the Thai soup with the prawns in it I like mine spicy“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“
