50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Milpitas

“Im visiting from AZ, went to the great mall to buy something real quick and wanted to have a quick lunch. Went here with no expectations, after all its just a quick grab restaurant inside a shopping mall. And, they delighted me with a pleasant surprise. We ordered Paneer biriyani and paneer manchurian. And OMG it was one of the best interms of making it taste like home but yummy. The balance is what's amazing..usually restaurant food is oily and heavy. This was so different, it was light, less oily, natural and very tasty. Food came super fast and was really really good. Id love to visit again when I am back in town.“

“Coffee and food so champ and delicious! Hard to explains. Light , healthy and slowly eat together so melts into your mouth become euphoric!🌺👍🏻💯✅“

“Came here on Thursday afternoon right when they opened and there was plenty of seating. The food came out pretty fast and love the clean decorations inside.
Service was amazing! The waitress would refill our water frequently and the food was great! The tofu was perfect and tasted really good. The noodle dish and the hangover hearty broth soup was very clean tasting and very good. The tables weren’t sticky either, seems like it’s kept pretty clean.
I would recommend this restaurant and will likely come back to try other dishes and get the signature fried tofu again!“

“On vacation and me and my dad decided to try outback. Food was great, and steak was cooked extremely well. Big thanks to our server T (I hope I spelt her name properly) she was amazing. Respectful, efficient and just overall great customer service. Thank you for making it an unforgettable dinner!!“

“This was just not about food, it was a divine awakening through Prasadam. It was like visiting every dham just sitting here and listening to Krishna’s Leelas explained so beautifully by Prabhuji.

Thank you for organising this blissful event, and what better way than tasty, relishing divine food!“

“Simply amazing food and incredibly awesome staff ❤️👍 My addiction to ho here and eat ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish there was a Dish Dash in South San Francisco or close by 😕🙏“

“Good food.taste good,I like it very much,everyone can try!“

“I have lived in Milpitas for 3 1/2 years now, and only recently 'discovered' this hidden gem right at the end of the street I live on!!! Their menu is varied enough to have a great selection, but not so much that it's overwhelming. The minute you enter their diner, you're greeted with a warm Good Morning or Good Afternoon! The staff is very attentive and friendly; we felt like members of the family from our first visit! The food is priced fairly, which is hard to say about almost any other restaurant I've been in lately, and, it is delicious! There you have it...Welcoming, friendly staff, great menu selection, delicious food, priced fairly. A recipe for success, obviously since they've been there for over 20 years! Try it, you will not be disappointed!“

“I have been going to this place with my grandparents for years, it is our go to sushi place. It has gone through a lot of changes after the pandemic hit, but the quality of the food has never changed. Love it, amazing overall. My only wish would be that they expand so it does not feel as cramped when dining in, but their take out system is extremely effective.“

“We ordered the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles, beef chow mein, garlic naan, grilled lamb chops, lamb skewers, and baked buns.

As someone from Henan, I thought the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles tasted somewhat similar to the style back home, and overall it was probably the best dish we had this time. The garlic naan was decent, and the lamb skewers were also okay.

However, the grilled lamb chops were disappointing. The meat was way too tough and almost impossible to chew. After we mentioned it to the staff, they kindly removed the dish from our bill, which I appreciated.

Later, we also ordered beef chow mein and baked buns. The beef chow mein was pretty average. As for the baked buns, it did seem like there was more meat filling than before, but the flavor was different from what I remembered. They weren’t as fragrant, didn’t have much juice inside, and overall tasted a bit dry, so they weren’t really to my taste.

Overall, the food here feels different from when the restaurant first opened, and I’m not sure if the chef has changed. Based on the dishes I tried this time, I’d say the stir-fried hand-pulled noodles are still worth trying, but I’d be cautious about ordering the other dishes. I also visited the Mountain View location for lunch, but personally I wouldn’t recommend that one either, since they didn’t have stir-fried noodle dishes and only offered soup noodles.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“I recently visited Idly Express and had a wonderful experience. Medhu Vadai is my all-time favourite, and during my pregnancy I’ve been craving it a lot—so I was really excited to try it here. It did not disappoint! The Medhu Vadai was absolutely delicious, and the veg biryani was equally amazing.

The staff were very sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty and comforting food.“

“Really enjoyed the food here! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked really well. The portions were generous, and the taste was even better than I expected. The service was friendly and quick too. Definitely a great place to grab a meal with friends or family. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“I feel like this place is a hidden gem. If I lived closer, I would get it all the time!

I like how simple and easy it is to build your own bowl. I typically get the regular three scoops because it’s filling enough with all of the toppings that I end up getting I appreciate the fact that they don’t charge you extra for avocado.

The parking situation is pretty easy at this restaurant too because it’s located in a strip mall, but there’s plenty of parking spots.

The seats inside establishment aren’t the most comfy because they’re pretty thin plastic chairs, but at least there’s a cushion on them.“

“This is hands down one of the best North Indian buffet places in the Bay Area! With stylish interiors and a warm, inviting ambiance, this place is definitely not to be missed.

I visited during lunch with a few friends, and we were wowed by the variety of food options. The naan was served fresh, and everything we tried tasted really good.

I also catered food from them for my spouse’s 50th birthday party, and the food was a huge hit with all our guests. Everything was delivered on time and tasted perfect.

For appetizers, we ordered Dahi Bhalla, Achaari Paneer, and Gobi Manchurian. For the main course, we had Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Lababdar, along with Naan and Lachcha Paratha. We also ordered Moong Dal Halwa for dessert.

The Dahi Bhalla was a super hit! Several guests said it was hands down the best Dahi Bhalla they had ever had at a restaurant. All the other dishes were equally delicious and received lots of compliments.

Overall, whether you’re looking for a great North Indian buffet or catering for a party, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be ordering from them again!“

“Always a pleasure! Food never disappoints.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House recently, It's a small dine-in space with limited seating, so we opted for takeout instead.

We placed our order online for a large half-and-half pizza--one side butter chicken (their popular pick) and the other malai chicken. The ordering process was smooth, and our pizza was ready right on time, which made the experience super convenient.

For our first visit, we wanted to try their signature curry pizzas, though they do offer traditional options as well. We also added desi garlic sticks from their small plates menu--they have quite a good variety of sides and wings if you're looking to explore more.

Coming to the food:
* The butter chicken pizza was definitely the star. The curry base was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and it was generously loaded with toppings.
* The malai chicken pizza was decent, but slightly on the sweeter side for my taste. My husband, however, really enjoyed it.
* The desi garlic sticks were good overall--they had a noticeable pesto flavor, though I wish the garlic was a bit more prominent. Still, something I'd order again.

The location is pretty accessible, and depending on the outlet, you'll usually find plaza-style parking nearby, which makes pickup easy and hassle-free.

Overall, it was a decent experience. While I enjoyed parts of the meal, I'll probably take my time before going back, as I'd like to explore other pizza spots that serve similar curry-style pizzas.“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“Excellent service and food“

“always had excellent food“

“They have the Best food ever’!!!!!!“

“I love this restaurant before, because I love to eat anything!“

“Great place for malatang style eating where you select your own food and portion. I love eating the vegetables there so I choose all the veggies I love to eat only. They also have a number of meat that are pretty good for your soup as well. It feels like you go shopping and they cook for you.

Once select your food and select your soup type that you want, they will cook it for you and bring it to your table. Medium spicy can be a bit spicy for some people so choose wisely.

Depends on how much you get but it could range from $15-22/person. I normally get about 1 pound of food which costs around $20. There is not much service since it’s pretty much self service.

The place is fairly clean and decent. Could be cleaner but not bad considering the traffic.“

“Το Πίζα είναι τέλεια………..“

“Great restaurant for authentic Korean Food. The location was filled with patrons. The other dishes I saw looked delicious. I had the Beef Soup with Seaweed and Egg. Along with Purple Rice and other sides. The food was amazingly good. This was my 2nd visit.“

“The service was great, food was brought out quick and all of it was so delicious. Will be back again.“

“I was born and raised in Oaxaca City and decided to give this place a try. I will happily say that they absolutely exceeded my expectations in terms of their flavors, service, and atmosphere.

This food truck is located within the parking lot of a local gas station at E Calaveras Blvd & S Park Victoria Dr. There was enough parking at the time I drove in. The guy who took my order greeted me in Spanish with a smile and acted very genuinely and cordially.

I ordered 2 lengua tacos. The portions were appropriate, and the meat was perfectly cooked and tasted both juicy and very, very, authentic. The onions and cilantro had been freshly diced and made me smile when I squeezed lime juice on both tacos. They gave me two small containers with their red and green salsas. Yes, their salsas immediately activated long-stored memories in my taste buds. I can say that it flew me back to Oaxaca. My whole mouth watered at the first bite, so to extend the feast in my mouth and soul, I made 4 tacos with the double tortillas.
I will be coming back with friends and family and I think you should too.“

“It was a great experience with amazing food 🍲“

“We came in with a big group, and our server was great! He was fast, friendly, and very attentive. We brought a cake but forgot forks, and he was quick to bring us some without us having to ask twice. We really appreciated his great service. Thank you!“

“Pizza was cold after picking it up 30 minutes after ordering it on line. Normally would be hot before the pandemic. Would go back AFTER the pandemic.“

“Uniquely decorated Chinese hot pot restaurant, located in the Milpitas Square shopping plaza. The meat and veggies were fresh, and the large sauce station offered a wide variety of ingredients for you to create a personalized, custom dipping sauce. Several levels of spicy soup to choose from. Definitely one of the better spicy hot pot places in the South Bay. Fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“Food is good and service is nice and warm. I will bring friends come again definitely!“

“Dakao sandwiches has been around for over 30 years maybe 40. Decor is probably original. Anyway banh mi sandwiches are generally good. Expect to pay 7 dollars for a standard banh mi. They use a 10 inch narrow baguette. Filling is ok but uneven. Buy 2 and it's still less than what you would pay for a sandwich from a deli or sandwich shop.“

“Amazing. the butter chicken pizza so good so much flavor also had the Desperado pizza very good but butter chicken to die for“

“😕Not their best showing. Waitress served me chili with onions and did not give me option to say no. She tried to over-charge me for the corn muffin that comes with the chili. Then pretty much told me I had to pay now as she was going on break, even though I was still finishing my tea. When I asked if the onions were standard or optional, the waitress said they were standard, the manager said they are by request. But how can I know they'll add onions if no one tells me. I literally had to point to the menu to show that it does not say cheese and onions can be added.“

“Perfect food for winter. We enjoyed the food. Order the fresh noodle and you will not regret it. So delicious!“

“Very good Vietnamese food, very clean, fresh, delicious, with such great, great service! Family style meals! Would recommend to all. Must try all of the other many dishes here asides from always ordering the lettuce wraps with the meat rolls, still can't remember what this dish's name is though I've been told, like, 20 times. Horrible memory. Hot tea is very good too!

I don't think they have pho or bun, just an FYI.

In the Milpitas Center Shopping Mall strip mall with Paris Baguette, Daeho, Jang Su Jang, Grocery Outlet, etc.“

“Great food. Not a great ambience. Try veg biriyani, naan and Kadai panner.“

“Hansang Tofu – The Hidden Gem of Milpitas 💎🇰🇷

This place is almost hidden in plain sight, tucked right behind the McDonald’s everyone in Milpitas knows. It’s one of those true “if you know, you know” spots that locals swear by.

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and the reason we keep coming back is simple: quality. Every dish that comes out of the kitchen is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

What We Ordered 🍽️

Special Combo #35 – Galbi & Seafood Tofu Soup (Medium Spicy)
The portions are on the smaller side, but honestly, they’re perfect for two people, just enough to leave you satisfied without feeling stuffed.
The Galbi is beautifully marinated and grilled to perfection with that irresistible sweet and savory balance and a hint of char.
The Seafood Tofu Soup is our favorite, clean, rich, and full of depth. It’s easily one of the best versions around.
Pairing these two together is a flavor explosion, comforting, savory, and perfectly balanced. Add in a scoop of rice and some kimchi, and it’s game over. 🔥

Mandu 🥟
Freshly fried to golden crispiness with a juicy pork filling inside. The vinegar-based dipping sauce cuts through the richness perfectly, it’s tangy, addictive, and keeps you reaching for more.

The Banchan (Side Dishes) 🥢

Hansang nails their banchan every single time. From the kimchi to the seasoned sprouts, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. You know a Korean restaurant is good when even the side dishes shine.

If you’re looking for an authentic Korean spot that hasn’t blown up yet, this is it. Come now (or better yet, yesterday) before everyone else finds out. Huge thanks to the Hansang staff for always taking care of us and keeping the quality top-notch. 🙌🇰🇷“

“Amazing food coupled with generous hospitality“

“I’ll admit I almost skipped this place. I’d seen a few recent reviews complaining about slow service and inconsistent food, so I went in with pretty low expectations. Glad I gave it a shot anyway, because none of that matched my experience at all.

Started with the spring rolls and vada bao, both really solid. The spring rolls were crisp, not greasy, and the vada bao had good spice balance without being overwhelming. For mains I got the manchurian sizzler, and it’s easy to see why people talk about their sizzlers specifically. It came out sizzling at the table, sauce was well balanced, not overly sweet or drowning in cornstarch like manchurian can sometimes be. Paired it with the chilli garlic noodles, which were probably my favorite part of the meal. Good char on the noodles, garlic flavor actually came through instead of being an afterthought.

What stood out most was how fresh everything tasted. Nothing felt like it had been sitting around. As someone who prefers vegetarian spots around bay area, it’s genuinely hard to find places that make food this flavorful without leaning on meat as a shortcut for depth.

Service was attentive the whole time, no long waits, no mixed-up orders, nothing that matched the complaints I’d read. Maybe they’ve tightened things up recently, or maybe I just caught them on a good night, but either way this was a genuinely good meal.

Definitely recommend giving this place a shot, especially if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or looking for Jain-friendly options in the area. Hidden gem, will be back!!“

“Fresh food and great customer service. Try the catering service, they were a hit at my event! Thanks to Burritto Express!“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“Went to ok noodle for lunch around 1:30, walked in and we were the only customer which was odd. The gentleman helped us setup but you mainly order from your phone. I’ve seen from the search that everyone gets the chili noodles which I couldn’t find on the app. I had to order it personally from the waiter which was weird. The food came out fast with my buddy getting the lamb which he said had a real strong lamb flavor that was overpowering. The chili noodles were okay, nothing special. The chili wonton which I was wonton in chili sauce but in reality it was wonton in a soup. Overall not the best place for “pulled noodles” but not the worse, I’ll say it’s OK.“

“Delicious food and friendly staffs“

“If you are the one who is not comfortable eating with chopsticks then this restaurant is not for you. They gave me plastic fork to eat that hot hot ramen. so if you wanna then take your own fork 🙏🏻I would request restaurant to keep good quality forks not plastics ones“

“Love FT BBQ literally no other place compares to this unique restaurant. Their BBQ is so unique tasting I always come back here for more. I'm also glad that it's open very late so whenever I get food cravings late at night I come here.

Service is excellent as well. The food comes in fast too.

Been coming to FT BBQ for 8 years now. 🙌“

“Great food, definitely going back here to eat with my family!!! 🤙🏼 my kids always eat here!“

“Our family loves Sumiya Bento in Milpitas. We eat here all the time. Once a week if possible! The food quality and service has always been consistently top notch!

We have also ate at the Sumiya Bento location in Santa Clara several times, but we prefer the Milpitas location! The skewers at the Milpitas location has always been juicy and cooked just right. For some reason everytime we eat the skewers at their Santa Clara location it has been dry and too charred/burnt. Not sure why.

So definitely give Sumiya Bento Milpitas a try! You won't regret it.“
