50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Monrovia

“Great Pork Dumplings also really like the Beef & Cheese“

“One of few places in Southern California that actually offers vegan talai. The naan garlic bread is out of these world. What I also love that they can make low salt food too and they have vegan mango lassi. Food is clean, so delicious and the employees are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you are in area.

“Empanadas for breakfast, lunch & dinner are delicious!“

“We've been regular customers of the Monrovia Blaze since the first opened for business over 10 years ago. It's by far our favorite Blaze location. The pizza is consistently very good and cooked to just the right char. What really sets this location apart from the others is Marco, the store manager. He always greets us with a smile and engages us in nice conversation and demonstrates the unique ability to motivate his employees and leads by example. I've seen him doing every single job in that place at some point or another and always wearing a smile. He is a great assest to the company. Keep up the great work!“

“Thai Thyme is cozy Thai restaurant that specialize in authentic Thailand cuisine. It’s located in Monrovia. They have vast selection of food and drinks at a reasonable price. Interior looks charming with high ceiling and exposed brick. Atmosphere was relaxing.

We have walked passed by Thai Thyme for years but never hand a chance to check-in until tonight. Because it tends to be packed due to its popularity. Anyway, after we perused their menu; I ordered a Chicken Pad Won Sen, Spring Rolls, iced tea and water. The noodle was tasty, moist and flavorful albeit a bit salty. Similarly, spring rolls were delightful. Drinks were good.

Staff were very attentive, engaging and respectful. Prices were fair and competitive. Atmosphere was relaxing and has a good vibe. Overall, it’s a nice Thai spot in my favorite town of Monrovia. I recommend you visit.“

“Love the chicken masala and the vegan and vegetarian choices. When you want to cut in meat and start a new healthier diet, you must try them out.“

“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Loved this place while living in Monrovia. Please look into placing one in Palmdale/Lancaster area❤️🥰❤️“

“Best handmade ice cream ever!!!! Love the Taro and Ferrero Roche ice cream“

“We love JB Burgers. Why? For one, the food is great. I get a steak sandwich all the time. No mayo, due to a diet constraint. Sometimes I'll get a bowl of chili ... or if I'm in the mood, I'll get a stack of french toast with my steak sandwich. Yes, that's a lot of food!

Steak sandwich - The french roll is good. The steak is a nice piece of meat and it has great flavor. They put tomatoes and lettuce. The tomatoes are good. The lettuce adds a crisp crunch, but there's a lot of white lettuce. The steak sandwich is a must!

My better half gets a guacamole burger. Tasty and the guac adds some healthiness AND the creamy texture replaces mayo, 1000 Island or any other sauce that's not healthy.

The chili is good! When it's chilly or on a rainy day, it's good comfort food!

French Toast - this is good stuff. They give you a lot and it's made well. Taste is really good and they use a thicker bread - yummm!

Now to the wonderful staff! 95% of the time we've had good to exceptional service. I order inside the restaurant - makes sense since we're eating inside. One time, this gal told me I could not order inside and she made me go outside to order. I told her I order inside all the time, but she didn't want to listen. I almost left, but I saw the familiar faces there, so I ordered outside. The next time I saw her there, she let me order inside.

I try to get to JB's at least once a week. They're my go to!

I highly recommend JB Burgers!“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“The place had delicious food. This place had many people coming in and was crowded during brunch time. I can see why so many people come here. The drinks and food are excellent but the seating was a bit of a challenge since it was quite noisy.“

“wow first time here food was excellent. very nice customer service 👍💯.can't wait to come back 😀“

“😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩😋😋😋👍👍👍🇺🇸“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“the food is always very flavorful“

“Just was there for the first time, 11:45 a.m. Drive-through. Cheeseburger & fries, and a Coke. Burger was really good, and fresh. I order a small fries and I got a lot of fries, also good, not greasy. Fast service; time of day may have had something to do with that, preparing for lunch rush? Good burger, good fries, and a coke. What's not to like? Everything I'd hoped for. Very pleased.

Got breakfast today. Really pleased. The plate I ordered was enough for 2 or 3 people.“

“Great food and great service!“

“We were very hungry, ordered delivery. I didn't know they delivered. The pepperoni pizza was good, good taste, good crust. The antipasto salad was good, although not really an antipasto. I ordered the meatballs and thought they were great. They came in a dish with marinara, onions, green peppers. The marinara was very flavorful. I put the garlic bread to good use by thoroughly cleaning the dish to get all the marinara. Less expensive Than ordering from Domino's, and much MUCH better. We've always like this place.“

“When Im craving a donut this is the place to go. The staff are always friendly and any time of the day they always have multiple selection of donuts. I always recommend friends and family to purchase from them.
I highly recommend you give them a try when you’re in the neighborhood.“

“Northeastern Noodle House, the braised beef noodles are delicious, and the beef burrito is full of coriander and green onions. Unfortunately, I don’t like the sweet noodle sauce, but the crust is super thin and the beef is delicious! The large plate of chicken shaved noodles is delicious with a bit of numbing flavor from Sichuan peppercorns! There is a live ramen show by the chef, and the noodles are freshly made and delicious...the service is good! It was full at dinner time..“

“Delish! Go early; it's a must try!“

“I was craving Korean bbq but bowl style and this spot was nearby.

I ordered their marinated short rib bowl and I added extra proteins of spam, an egg and chicken with no rice, all salad. It was a phenomenal lunch overall. The flavor was definitely there. It was definitely pricey after I added all the extras, but still worth it.

I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.“

“If breakfast is your favorite meal of the day, Nano Café is where you belong. They serve it all day, but it’s the **hospitality** that makes this place unforgettable.

My first visit was solo, and I was lucky to have **Jazmin** as my server. She was fun, friendly, and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Her recommendations were on point, the food came out perfectly timed, and the entire vibe made me feel like a regular—even though it was my first time. That experience alone was enough to bring me back.

But it was our second visit that truly made Nano’s feel like home.

This time, I came with my whole family—**my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, my nephew, and me.** I called ahead to ask if they had seating for children. Not only did they confirm, but when we arrived 15 minutes later, they had **two high chairs set up at a reserved table** with **warm cinnamon rolls waiting for the kids.** That’s the kind of thoughtful preparation you rarely see anymore.

**Barbara** was our server, and she was outstanding. She brought toys for the kids, laughed with them, kept coffee flowing, and when a spill happened, she had it handled instantly—with a smile. Her energy was calm, professional, and truly caring. She didn’t just take care of us—she made us feel welcome.

> “This isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory-maker.”

Nano’s has this rare quality where you walk in expecting a good breakfast, and you leave with something more. Whether you're a solo diner, a couple out for brunch, or a family navigating high chairs and napkins—**they get it.**

> **Special shout-out to Barbara**: Thank you for going above and beyond. I genuinely wish you all the best in your life and your journey—**take that trip with your parents.** You deserve it.

**Why I recommend Nano’s Café:**
- Friendly, human service (not just “customer service”)
- Kid-friendly without sacrificing adult quality
- Always consistent food + fast coffee = winning
- You leave feeling better than when you arrived

> **“Low-key legendary. If you know, you know.”**

**Bottom line:** Nano’s Café isn’t trying to be flashy—and that’s exactly why it works. Whether you’re local or visiting, it’s the kind of place you tell your friends about later. Because when care like this shows up on a Tuesday morning?
You don’t forget it.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Food was delicious and healthy.
We travel nearly an hour just to eat here. Service (counter girl) could have a little more friendly and have patience with ppl that are not familiar with their menu.
But the food is excellent.“

“Food is great, friendly service and clean environment for dine in as well as take out. Parking is easy and they sell lottery products too. Our favorites are the house fried rice and various noodle dishes. The best part of all is the soup companion side! We will be back indefinitely!“

“It was a good clean taste. I will be back.“

“I really want to say thank you so much for the great restoration you have done in my life, now I’m completely healed and healthy free from tinnitus by using Dr Oso natural healing remedies, thank Dr for all. Please help me thank>> [email protected].“

“What a find!. I mean it was my birthday so we searched for something that tickled my requirements in the area we were staying. Such a warm and welcoming reception. The thing is I messaged a week ago on Insta and they held my spot. When we arrived we were treated like royalty .Food and wine was amazingly accompanied with great hospitality. We arrived at 1930 left at 2330.
This is an amazing place. X“

“One of the best Poke spots in the San Gabriel Valley (in my opinion).

Come a good day with the right servers and you’ll get your moneys worth. The portions are great, perfect ratio of protein to rice & sides.

Plenty of protein options and sauce options.“

“I ordered a medium for $14.95 and the presentation was beautiful a good rectangular shape allowed all the flavors to stand out perfectly. On Sundays I got lucky there was $5 Sushi containers available for sale so we also got a special dinner“

“Yummy❣️❣️❣️staff is phenomenal ❣️❣️❣️“

“Excelente!!! Esta en muy Buena ubicación y precio accesible, hotel 4 estrellas 🌟 servicio y calidad.“

“Very pleasant staffs and the food was great and delicious at a very reasonable prices. I'm so impressed by the way they greeted you and make you very comfortable. They pay so much attentions to their patrons regardless of your ethnicity.“

“Oto-Oto is exceptional in every way. The food is fantastic and considering the quality, reasonably priced. The presentation of the food is beautiful without being over the top. The staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and timely without being intrusive. The chefs are professional trained sushi chefs. The atmosphere is lovely, warm, and interesting-- note the giant bonsho (bell) hanging from the cool, high open ceiling and the display of bottles at the bar for example. It is quiet so you can hear yourselves talk. It stays busy without ever feeling cramped or rushed. If you look at the clientele, you will know it is a top-notch place because they are locals and people who keep coming back time and time again -- the staff recognizes and remembers them and there are warm exchanges between them.We often get take-out and one night I sat and just observed the interplay of staff -- it was like watching a beautiful dance as they wove in and out -- making drinks, taking orders, delivering food, and the chefs with hands flying as they made dish after dish and without breaking stride, they smiled through it all - it was better than watching most of what is on television. We love Oto-Oto in every way and highly recommend it.

Parking: Big lot“

“First time visit. Excellent and Quick service. A very good breakfast menu. Good variety of breakfast selections. Found the food tasty and good value. Will definitely return.“

“Pinkberry is my one stop shop for frozen yogurt. I like that they have copious amount of toppings and flavors. Indoor vibe was welcoming. Similarly, it’s neat, organized and well lit. Staff were ebullient and very helpful. They were following health protocol. After a minute of deliberation and much needed thought as I look at the menu. I ordered a medium size cup of pomegranate flavor with fruits, mochi and chocolate chip as toppings. I truly enjoyed my Pinkberry pomegranate yogurt. Overall, I had a good order experience and I highly recommend this Pinkberry location.“

“Cute place, good food, great atmosphere. Dodgers fans and games!“

The food was great, fresh 👍🏻 a in d tasty 😋“
