50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in National City

“Erick thank you nice service“

“Great service with Jeannie“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“What a great addition to National City. My husband and I would often go to Mira Mesa for our Hotpot fix, but now we can just go to this neighborhood gem.

I tried the classic bone broth with a lot of seafood items and really enjoyed it. My soup also did have beef, which was good quality and delicious. For drinks, we enjoyed sugar free sparkling pamelo zest.

Ambience was cute and not to try hard. The space is great for small or large parties.

Definitely a redo for us.“

“Solid Chinese restaurant. The salt and pepper chicken wings were so good. The fry on the outside is just perfectly crunchy while the inside is piping, hot and juicy and perfect amount of salt and spice.
Definitely the star of the show here.
Service was quick and efficient the food came out really fast.“

“Had the pleasure of being served today by Stephanie P, who made her multi-tasking look easy. All food delivered as ordered, hot, on time. Extras brought with a smile. Highly recommended.“

“Tita's Kitchenette is a go-to for classic Filipino comfort food that feels homemade. The portions are generous, flavors are rich, and dishes like adobo and lumpia hit that nostalgic note. It’s a small, no-frills space that gets busy, especially around meal times. Service is quick and friendly. Not fancy, but reliably satisfying when you’re craving something hearty and authentic.“

“Enjoy the pho 🍜 at this restaurant is very delicious 🤤“

“Ordered a poke plate with spicy garlic tuna and shoyu tuna. Both were really good, but I preferred the shoyu tuna. You get so much more fish at these types of poke places vs the ones that are chipotle style where you choose your mix-ins and sauce. I much prefer these types of poke places for the quality and value. Got the plate with one scoop of rice and seaweed salad - not the best seaweed salad, so I probably would choose two scoops of rice without seaweed salad next time. Also ordered a side of macaroni salad, it was just okay. I probably wouldn’t order that again. Overall, great poke and will be coming back!“

“great staff. great food. so far I've had a few of their different plates, and all have been good“

“Oh my goodness, I amazed at the service we received today. We found this place from google and can’t believe how well we were treated, especially by our server Mary Jane. She sat us right away, was very social and made us feel so welcomed. She was also so funny and just had good vibes all around. She gave us some recommendations as well. It was my fiancé birthday and she got him an ice cream! Thank you so much Mary Jane! We will definitely be back just for her.“

“the service is great and fast plus the food is awesome 👌 💯“

“Best tacos you can ever have. Love going on Saturday & Sunday mornings to eat fish tacos.“

“The food is amazing, as is the service. My family have eaten there since they opened in 1986. They were small then, when Swenson's ice cream used to be next door. My favorite dish was the champon noodles. It still tastes the same!!“

“friendly, fresh, great customer service.“

“Love the food and service was great. We'll be back.“

“The best place to eat, recommend it by me.“

“Good job n thank you so much“

“El mata hambre me gusto mucho. Los visitaremos en nuestra próxima visita a San Diego.“

“Great food, great service!“

“I have been here a few times and and I thought I reviewed it but I guess I didn't.
I popped in for a quick bite but I didn't have much time so I placed the order and went to go pick up. The online ordering process was so easy!

I walked in and the woman was so welcoming and told me my order would be right out. Her hospitality combines with the beautiful wall art, decorations and their Salvadorian pride flag gave such an inviting and warm atmosphere.

I ordered a couple Pupusa Revulta that had chicharon, beans and cheese in side and it was such a good combination! The Pupusa was cooked perfectly, the chicharon was so tender and flavorful and there was just the right amount of beans and cheese inside! Paired with the sides of salsa and pickled cabbage made for such a good meal!

Overall Silvia Pupuseria is a gem! I highly recommend it and can't wait to come back!“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“The bread here is amazing! I arrived in the morning around 830am and the smell is intoxicating in the best way. I ordered the regular pan de sal as well as the ube and cheese pan de sal. It's the best pan de sal I have ever had! It melts in your mouth and has the ideal pillowy texture you want. The ube variety has the cheese inside and it is perfect! You can't eat just 1. The customer service was great and the shop overall is well mantained. I am already planning my next trip back. It's a must try bakery.

Eat up!!“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“We tried this restaurant two nights ago, for the first time. I called and placed an order, it was ready in like 15 minutes for pick up. Brought it home and devoured every bite! We got the BBQ Pork rice plate, BBQ Chicken rice plate, steak Pho, and egg rolls. It was enough for my husband, two of my children, and myself. It was absolutely delicious!“

“Everything we ordered was delicious“

“delicious fresh tasting food, affordable prices, and great portions! I ordered the beef bowl

I stopped by here a few days ago on my lunch break. It’s a spot that joins with other food places making any sort of “food court”.“

“Their adobada tacos are super cheap and absolutely to die for, and their adobada fries come as a huge portion - definitely recommend if you like adobada. Their adobada also has cinnamon in it, so if you're a fan of adobada that's cinnamon-y, 100% recommend trying this place.“

“i guess you can say one of the best pizza shops in south bay if not in san diego . the price and the quality of food is awesome , beside the great customer service. and the guy behind the counter very professional . and he Does look like Vin :) So thank you Zappy for everything“

“We ordered lechon and it was so good! The skin was crispy and sesoned very well! Their home made sarsa was the best! 💕 we will be ordering again soon!“

“Gone here a few times, their lunch specials are really good
Pictures is the BBQ pork, Crean cheese Wontons, and honey walnut shrimp.
On another occasion I tried their Broccoli beef and orange chicken
All of their dishes thus far have been great.
Everything is affordable and proportional to the ammount of food you get.
They are Cash Only though, but there is an ATM in the liquor store next door.
Staff has always been friendly, bathroom was clean“

“First time trying Korean hotpot and it was very good. We liked it so much we came back the next day and tried a different item from the menu but the pork bone soup is the best.
I guess the service varies, the night we were there everything went well (Riley is awesome) but the next day we came back for lunch with a different staff was kind of off and don’t feel like serving us. But overall still recommend to try it!“

“Great prices! While everything seems to be getting more expensive it's good to know there are some places putting out delicious food for a decent price. The rice is good thats what makes or breaks a sushi spot. We had the Red Dragon roll, Rainbow roll, Philly roll, California roll and some orange chicken all were really good. If you live in National city and want to stay in the area and have goid sushi this is a place worth stopping at.“

“Pickup was ready in less than 10 minutes. Everything was delicious! That mango sauce is my favorite and the boneless wings were big“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YUMMY YUMMY & YUMMY 🍔😋
I hadn’t been to a Red Robin in years and recently I’ve been back TWICE because I totally forgot how AMAZING their burgers are just delish plus the prices are such a great deal 💸🙌🏼

One of the biggest reasons I had to leave this review is the OUTSTANDING service ⭐👏🏼Both visits I received some of the fastest, friendliest service I’ve had in a long long time ⏱️😊 Even though they were super busy, the manager still took time to come by to clear the table and check in to see we were happy 😃 finally a place that truly cares about customer service!! Our waitress was awesome too 👍🏼

✨🤩 SHOUT-OUT 🤩✨ to the Manager and his entire team at Red Robin in Plaza Bonita you are doing it RIGHT👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍔❤️

“My family and I had a wonderful experience. The food, drinks, atmosphere, staff and price were on point. We definitely will be back to this restaurant.“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“It was Inviting and food was great Good Customer Service Melissa was amazing Nice tv’s (11) of them Michelas are great“

“good food. good prices. excellent salsa bar“

“Amazing quick Japanese meal!
I stopped by Sarku Japan at Plaza Bonita and was really impressed! The teriyaki meals are full of flavor and cooked fresh right in front of you and the sauce is tasty, the chicken was tender, and the veggies were crisp. The portions were generous, and it was a great value for what you get. I also tried some of their sushi rolls, and they were surprisingly good too. Service was fast and friendly even during a busy food-court lunch, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely my go-to spot when I want a quick, delicious Japanese meal while shopping! 🍱👍“

“Grew up eating this pizza a great experience“

“delicious food. was my 1st time there. got a carnitas burrito. 5 stars. I recommend“

“Classic..................“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“Best hopia baboy in all of San Diego County. Might even be the best in all of Southern California, but I haven’t visited every place that sells hopia baboy just yet. I was disappointed to learn that another hopia place I like didn’t even have pork ingredients in their hopia baboy, which goes against the name, but this is unfortunately commonplace at Filipino bakeries. Since Ching’s primary focus is hopia rather than something else like pandesal or other baked goods, the hopia baboy remains authentic with real lard and no artificial flavors.“

“It is my favorite ramen place, I always come here to socialize with friends, and I love how spacious it is. Even on a busy day it doesn't feel cramped up. Their food is excellent, both ramen and sushi.“

“The red pozole was great. The green pozole was OK. I enjoyed serving myself from the salsa/condiment bar for the onion, lettuce and various flavorful additions.
The service was the best part of the experience. Great attention was given to our comfort, order accuracy and well being.
The portions are big, so we will have some for a snack later.“

“Very good streets food and love it’s.“
