50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Mountain View

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“This was my 4th time here at sushi jin- it's truly our favorite omakase in the area, we can't stay away! we always receive great service here, and the fish is so fresh. we especially love getting the ankimo, it's always delicious. highly recommend!!“

“I had a great meal at Everest Cuisine. I ordered the lamb Rogan Josh with garlic naan and the chicken chili momo. The momos were super flavourful and the and the lamb was super tender

The host (owner?) was super friendly - another reviewer mentioned waiting a while for the momos, which was also the case for me, but I was offered some tea and a small mango lassi which were both delicious.

On top of everything, they’re open until 1am which is super rare for a great restaurant. I came in at 10 and the inside was busy, but luckily I didn’t have to wait. They have heated outdoor seating as well.

I’m definitely coming back again, the food was amazing and being open until 1am is a huge plus. 10/10“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“Best tacos in Mountain view right now, I order cabeza and chorizo and add pineapple there are too good I have to stop by twice a week sometimes, the chicken tacos are also good, I call ahead because they get very busy and also because I call at the last minute.

It is a gas station with limited parking there ara a couple of tables and chairs but it's mostly to go.

The green salsa is the best, super spicy if you don't like spicy don't even try that one, the one on the top right corner is the nonspicy.“

“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.“

“Great Desi Pizza! Highly recommend 🙂“

“This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I went on word of mouth without discovering it was cash only. After a little hunting and finding several ATMs on Google Maps missing or broken, I was able to get cash at Bank of America.

I came for the Baked Pork Bun, but also tried the Egg Custard and Red Bean Paste Mochi Roll.

The Pork Bun was HUGE, and the best I have ever had. The owner gave credit to the dough being mixed by hand rather than machine. One is intended to be a meal. I was worried at its size it would fall apart, but it held together. Light, fluffy, and delicious. I was a little concerned when it was taken from rhe warmer and put in a microwave for 15 seconds, but it did not negatively impact the result as far as I could tell. BEST EVER!!

The mochi was more tender and soft than I have ever experienced, and in the most wonderful way. I am used to stretchy and chewy mochi. This was mlre delicate and silky. They look haphazard, but the texture and flavor completely makes up for it.

The Egg Custard was much mlre like a flan in a French pastry as opposed to what I expected of a South Asian Egg Custard. I expect if you like flan, it was good, but my preference is the variety that is more like sweet red bean paste than flan.

I wish I had taken pictures before I ate it all.

I look forward to going back again soon!“

“I've been coming here for twenty years!! Always the best food , best staff , drinks and perfect location DT Mountain View. Love this spot! #highlyrecommend“

“Great food, Friendly staff.“

“We had the kung pao VG chicken and orange peel VG steak. Both items were great - special mention for the latter! Been here a few times over the years and been generally happy with the food. The service was the fastest I can remember in a long time. The interiors were quite cozy without being fancy, and the soft music in the background made for a friendly, easygoing vibe that you'd hope for from a business in your neighborhood.“

“great place and nice food“

“So good, high-quality, and fresh. I ordered two steak burritos with everything. The salsas are insanely delicious and spicy. The steak has an almost Argentinian asado fire-pit-style flavor. I love it. I loved the sweet, grilled onions and Serrano peppers that came as a side. Thank you guys for committing to making a great meal.“

“This tea cafe has been around for a while. I like the quality of the green tea and the location in the Downtown Mountain View makes it a good place to visit after a meal. For a long while, it has more reasonable and lower price than other boba tea shops. Lately its price has unfortunately increased too.“

“Have been going to this place lately. Fresh and delicious. The price is pretty good for 1 combo with sides.“

“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.“

“Delicious food, deverse menu, and very fast service. I have nothing to complain about.“

“Exceptional and very charismatic service, with the slight caveat that the atmosphere becomes a touch less intimate date vibes and a touch more “you're dining in Italy with family” vibes. As long as you understand that you will love it!“

“Great sushi! Must get the omakase nigiri or Toyosu special!“

“I love this place so much, I cone very often, especially when I work full shifts because my job is very close to the point I just walk to it.
Every time, no matter the circumstances food is great and so is the service.
On Tuesday I called for a pickup order at 3:05 and without any hesitation they filled it and had it ready so fast, food was warm and just delicious. They close at 3:30 so they could have easily told me no, or just could have been not the happiest, but the complete opposite! They are always happy, very friendly as well. I love this truck so much, and you guys are very genuine, humble people. Thank you for always making a great meal, and keeping a smile on your face! You guys are the best! Have a good day :)

Btw I have not had a bad meal at all here! Everything is so good!“

“Absolutely love this place! Atmosphere is chill (except on 49ers game days, when it’s FUN), Antonio the owner has incredible taste in music and amazing knowledge of wines, and the small plates are delicious. Best wine bar in the area - but a fun place to have a snack too!“

“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.“

“We went here with our 1 year old and it was a great experience! Staff was very friendly and the ambience was good too :)
We tried the heart attack sushi and the mango crunch sushi and both of them were very tasty.
Would definately recommend this place!“

“It is really tasty food. The broth I think is eapeciallly tasty.

To start I think it’s pretty quick to get a seat, even though the restaurant seems quite busy. The service also seems quite quick and you order quite fast. Seems like there is also a lot of customization available on the menu for the noodle. Once we ordered it wasn’t too long till we got the food.

Overall the food is really good. Texture of the noodle is good, flavouring is good, and spice level is good as well. I didn’t think it was too spicy which was nice.

Pleasant experience“

“We had a wonderful dinner here, with boiling beef and pumpkin cake. We also got the beef bun. All were delicious. We love the atmosphere and deco inside. There’s also free ice cream! Highly recommended for anyone with young children, or those who enjoy a good atmosphere - it feels like a real restaurant in China. Highly recommended!“

“Pizza calzone was amazing! The desserts were so delicious 😋.“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.“

“I’m not usually that kind of person that likes to leave reviews!! But this place is awesome �!! Great food, clean place, third time here and will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area .“

“Very delicious and tasty food. One should try it once.“

“10/10 experience!! If you are looking for amazing sushi in Mountain View, this is the spot! Joy Sushi is a true hidden gem. I ordered a takeout meal consisting of special rolls and a sashimi box, and the quality was outstanding. So yummy and fresh! On top of the great food, the service is excellent;they are so kind and thoughtful with their preparation.“

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth“

“Amazing! Lovely bagels and great customer service!“

“We eat at this restaurant whenever we drive to Mountain View from San Jose. Looks like it got a facelift under the new management, with big TV, sound system and decorations. Now they bring the food to your table. We had Veggie Burrito. The price was very reasonable, the service was quick, the burrito was good size and tasted good. Gabby took our order and she brought the food to our table. She was extremely friendly; she checked with each customers to make sure they are happy with their order. The music was bit loud and she lowered it at our request. This is a good place to go if you want a quick bite, good food at a reasonable price.“

“Attended a vendor event here and it was a great time.

Food wise we had some appetizers, which were good, but the beer is what really stood out. Great selection in my novice opinion.

The staff was friendly and gave advice to those of us who hadn't been to this restaurant and/or had German beer.

Other people seemed to be having a great time as well and it was lively but we could still hold a conversation without yelling.“

“They ran out of beer and the waiter just ran down the street to get more! Great service!“

“Great food at reasonable prices..great selection..friendly folks..“

“I had a very good experience at this Thai restaurant overall. I ordered the meatball pho and it was great. The prices were fair for the quality, which makes it a great value.

The service was friendly and attentive, although I have to say the atmosphere of the restaurant wasn’t particularly warm or inviting. Despite that, the good food and solid service made up for it. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Tried this pizza place after hearing a few good things about it, and it turned out to be a pretty solid choice. The pizza came out hot, the crust had a nice texture, and the toppings tasted fresh. I ordered a large pepperoni and was happy with how generous they were with it. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being overbearing. The place itself was clean and had a relaxed vibe. It wasn't the absolute best pizza I've ever had, but it was definately one I'd order again. Overall, a good local spot if you're craving pizza.“

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!“

“This is hands down our favorite pizza place in Mountain View. They are fast, pizzas always delivered HOT, tons of toppings and reasonably priced. Pre-COVID when we and our kids had friends over everyone always comments that it’s the best pizza and where ever did we order from....can’t recommend enough, excellent pizza! And the staff are always accommodating and friendly, love them!“

“I stopped by this food truck one evening for dinner, and as a big taco lover, I try to visit taco trucks or taquerias whenever I can. This truck is located in a gas-station parking lot—actually a fairly large, open space—and the overall setup felt tidy and well maintained.

One thing that gave me slight pause was the salsa and garnishes (lime, cucumber, radish) being kept uncovered and placed close to the road, with cars constantly passing by. I’m not entirely sure about the food-safety aspect there. That said, the truck itself looked clean and organized.

I ordered four tacos—two al pastor (my all-time favorite) and two chorizo. The tacos were served quickly, and I could see the rotating spit for the al pastor, which is always a good sign. The tortillas were proper corn tortillas, and the tacos came with grilled onions and jalapeños on the side. Everything tasted good and satisfying.

They also offer other items like tortas and more, but for me, tacos are always the first choice. While these weren’t the absolute best tacos I’ve ever had, they were still very enjoyable. My standards are admittedly high since I’ve eaten street tacos in Mexico City, so take that into account.

That said, this is a solid taco spot, and I’d definitely recommend stopping by—especially for the al pastor.“

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud“

“A true hidden gem in Mountain View. We love coming here for our Saturday morning bagel fix. The bagels are made in-house and have a fantastic texture, with some unique flavors like Swiss cheese, spinach, and jalapeño. Their homemade cream cheese is also a must-try. I'm a big fan of their Vietnamese coffee—it's got a unique blend that's unlike anywhere else. The place is simple but spotlessly clean, and the staff always wears masks. Just remember, there's no seating; it's takeout only.“

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.“

“Food at Zareen's is great. Unfortunately, at this location (Mountain View, near Shoreline Cinemas), they only have takeout food and a bit of outdoor seating. All of the storefronts around them are vacant, so I hope someday they get some actual eating space!“

“Welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, and wonderful food!“

“Was looking for dim sum in Mountain View so this Castro Street location fit the bill.

Pros: Ample free parking behind the restaurant and plenty of seating for our 11 am arrival today (Saturday). Was fun to have the traditional cart service for dim sum again. Service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of dishes.

Cons: Most of the food was cold! That was disappointing. I guess it’s one of the trade offs of cart service.“
