50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lennox

“With my wedding just a month away, I’ve been having so much fun preparing the menu and exploring different restaurants to create a beautiful variety of flavors and nationalities for our reception. I sampled chicken from four different spots around Los Angeles—each one had something going for it, but none felt quite right for our big day. One was a bit dry, another a little too crispy, and another slightly too salty.
Just when I was considering renting a large barbecue grill and cooking the chicken myself, a friend suggested I try this restaurant. It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot tucked along a very busy street—exactly the kind of hidden gem you might overlook. In fact, on the day I stopped by, there were multiple emergency vehicles less than a block away. That might make some people hesitate, but I decided to trust the recommendation and give it a try.
I ordered the half chicken meal—and I’m so glad I did! It was absolutely delicious. The flavor, tenderness, and seasoning were spot on. Even my son agreed, and he hadn’t liked any of the other chicken options I brought home for him to taste.
In the end, the incredible taste made it completely worth stepping a little outside my comfort zone. Without a doubt, this is the chicken we’ll be serving at our wedding reception. I’m so happy to have found the perfect place!“

“highly recommend went to the one in Venice Beach. sooooooo good!!!“

“Good vibes for taco Tuesday“

“La Ventanita is the most awesome "Hole in the Wall" restaurant I have ever been to -- and it's literally a hole-in-the-wall; there is no sit-down dining, inside or outside, only a window where you place your order. But the food is excellent! Their tortas are my favorites. Every time I go to LAX, I make it a point to stop at La Ventanita (which means tiny window in Spanish) and order something to go. And their prices are more than fair, so try it out and find out if you will enjoy it as much as I do.“

“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every time!“

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“Husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary and definitely worth the 1hr and a half drive .. service was amazing food was delicious . Will definitely be back .. we were treated with a delicious carrot cake and yummy treats .. recommend 100%“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Such a delicious experience with friendly, kind staff. I recommend the chicken sandwich and also any of their bowls. All non-GMO and way too good.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Beet pepperoni pizza was great. Mushroom calamari good and plenty of great drink options. We did feel a bit forgotten by the servers despite restaurant being relatively quiet but the service was pleasant nonetheless. Would go back for the excellent pizzas. Others ordered burgers and the portion of fries looked stingy so we were happy with pizzas.“

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“As soon as it gets. The Wood grilled vegetables are beyond amazing. We went vegetable forward in our ordering, but the softshell crab and the bone marrow were amazing additions as well!  in the service couldn't have been better. The perfect evening!!!“

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“awesome customers service, delicious food and drinks! wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door we were greeted as if we were regular patrons. George was our bartender and he was patient and helped us navigate the menu, David, the GM was personable and very accommodating, the Owner Chef Ray came out to say hello and grace us with a picture. phenomenal experience! thank you“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“This is a decent Italian restaurant. If you live far, it’s not worth the trip.

Parking is street and neighborhood parking in those cramped LA residential neighborhoods.

Restaurant seems small. It’s dimly lit and has a romantic atmosphere.

We had squash blossoms. The fry on it was good. It was very light and crispy. It doesn’t really have much flavor to it though in my opinion. I’d much rather have very good tempura. Still, this was interesting to try if you’ve never had it.

I had the pappardelle because there was no other cheesy pasta available. I don’t like the flavor of pecorino cheeses and thats what most dishes had. It wasn’t memorable but the pasta itself was good.

The orecchiette was good, but the flavor reminded me of Chinese spicy flavors. For that reason alone, I’d rather just eat Chinese food for a fraction of the price.

I think the dishes were cooked beautifully, but just not for my taste.“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“thoroughly enjoyed this place!!“

“The first time I came here, I got the No.8 and wasn’t a huge fan - I personally felt the toppings were overwhelming and I didn’t like the flavors together, BUT I could taste how amazing the everything bagel was underneath. The dough was soft and chewy and it was actually salted well which in my experience, is pretty rare. So I came back and this time just got butter and scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel so I could taste the bagel more on its own, and it was amazing. The bagel is genuinely so good you can eat it on its own, which is not something I can say for most bagel places I’ve been too. The scallion cream cheese is also genuinely amazing, it’s super light and fluffy and delicious. From now on my go to order is everything bagel with scallion cream cheese on the side so I can enjoy it plain and with the CC.

Also every single staff member I’ve met has been incredibly kind, genuine, and helpful, it’s nice to come to a place that people seem genuinely happy to work at and be a part of. And who knows, you may like the No.8 (I hear it’s popular!) it just wasn’t for me.

(And yes, this is better than every bagel I’ve had during the time I lived in NYC.)“

“Reason for visiting:
Date/time of visit: Thursday Afternoon lunch, ~12:30 PM
Parking: I parked in the paid parking garage at the Culver steps; paid $2 after dobe with lunch so assume good for ~2 hours. My coworker found street parking 1-2 blocks away if you want to try to find street parking but $2 is reasonable
Party size: 4
Environment/ambience: smallish place with few tables and some outdoor seating. No TVs inside; not too loud inside. Pets allowed but prob outdoor only. Clean restrooms. Lots of things to see and visit around too; downtown Culver City has things within walking distance and outdoor grass areas to hang out around
Service: was great; came around often. Friendly too.
Food: had the W Chashu Ramen with egg; they do not serve alcohol here.
Cost: ~$140 with tip; $2 parking.
Would I go back (yes/no): 80/20; parking can be a hassle but food was great“

“Everything was amazing! 🤙🤙👍👍“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“Absolutely incredible meal! I believe it actually surpassed my expectations. Fantastic and flavour food, extremely generous portions and the service was so warm. You really do feel at home. The lamb was amazing. My family and I arrived at LAX and were looking for a place to eat. This spot definitely stood out with its high ratings and large amount of reviews. So happy we chose this spot! I would highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for an excellent meal.“

“This place fricken rocks, it honestly made my wife and I consider moving down to LA! We're both motorcycle riders so seeing the whole place be themed around that lifestyle was very creative and attractive. Even if you're not a rider, this is a really fun and cool spot. Very fun dishes and drinks, various forms of seating for eating and drinking (outdoor/indoor), and there's lots to simply look at so you may finish your meal and meander around to look at all the neat motorcycle paraphernalia scattered throughout the room.

The food was delicious American-fare, the service was attentive, the drinks are high-quality, the prices are reasonable. The area it's in...ehhh I wouldn't walk here if I could avoid it, there's not too much nearby worth visiting. Oh, and it's dog friendly! They even have meals for your pooch if you feel inclined. Our dogs loved their homemade dog treats and enjoyed their provided water bowl.

Definitely a spot we'll go back to, and if we move to LA we're guaranteed joining them on one of their monthly rides! We also bought a couple motorcycle shirts for our rides. Easily my favorite spot in the area.“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.“

“The oven and heat is as essential an ingredient as the rest. Amazing staff who know everything you need to know for a great meal. Starts with the pie that helped cement their legacy but everything is amazing. And the Caesar is about the best in the city.“

“Went there twice during our 2 day trip. Biscuits are amazing. Maxie was our server, and she remembered us when we returned! She was very sweet, and the owner came out and chatted with us about the history of the restaurant.“

“Best New Wave salad! 🙌👍
The ahí tuna is mixed with a delicious sauce and veggies over a bed of warm rice. A single order could feed 4. Wow!!
Delicious, and the entire team is very friendly and patient with ordering, particularly when it's a new biz with new and unfamiliar food items.
Best part, there's no dairy or lactose! 🙏 😇 Over 60% of American adults over 30 yo have some form of this, so this biz is ahead of their time with nutritious foods like this. The red tea is incredible, tropical and floral.
Thanks to everyone who made my experience so pleasant. 🌟💚“
