47 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Novato

“Of all of our favorite places to eat, this is one my wife and I count as the very top tier.

The service is always excellent. We've never asked for anything to not receive it or have the item forgotten about, they are always quick to accommodate, and every person who works here is friendly and well mannered.

As for the food, it is the best sushi I've ever had next to Bamboo in Portland (and still, I think I prefer Sushi Tri). When we're travelling, we now frequently overlook sushi places simply because the fear is that we will just miss what we get at Sushi Tri.

We are creatures of habit, so usually, we order any combination of the pork gyoza, the California hand rolls, the King Dragon Roll, the Mount Fuji Roll, and the spicy tuna tacos. More often than not, we will order all of these things, if we aren't trying something new, and often, we'll walk out considering coming right back in for more in a disguise, so we don't look as shameful as we feel wanting more when we're full (but looking ridiculous isn't off the table). Their ramen is also fantastic, and among my favorites.

The dining area is always spotless, and is very comfortable. If you're worried about missing an important game when having dinner out, they've got that covered, too. We've never had too much trouble getting a seat here, but it does get busy, because it is, indeed, the best.

We recommend Sushi Tri to literally anyone who comes into Marin.“

“First timers here, but it won't be my last. Absolutely one of the freshest and most tasteful sushi restaurants I have been to in a long time. I ate 6-7 dishes (try the scallops special off-menu), and everything was fantastic. The owner and her staff are very gracious making the dining experience even more pleasant. Go try it. You won't be disappointed.“

“Thank you to Tien and team for a wonderful breakfast and even better service! You were so accommodating to our daughter’s allergy and we felt so well taken care of. Even our dog had her own water dish. We’re so glad you’re part of the Novato community!“

“Awesome Food and kind staff!“

“stellar grub weather it's the weekday or weekend“

“Absolutely amazing! Such wonderful dishes!! Will be back for more!! 😋❤️🧡❤️“

“Yosumi Ramen is a fantastic newer spot that genuinely surprised me in the best way. We originally stopped in for sushi, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The quality definitely exceeded expectations for a newer restaurant in the area.

The staff was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. You can tell they care about what they’re doing. The space itself is clean, modern, and comfortable…perfect for a casual lunch or an easy dinner out.

I didn’t try the ramen this time, but after seeing it come out for other tables, I’m absolutely getting it on my next visit. It looked incredible. All in all, Yosumi Ramen is definitely worth a try, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Highly recommend giving them a shot while they’re still a hidden gem.“

“Great food…..great service….over the top….“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!!!“

“Best Italian food in town“

“Good beer, tasty food and live music...what's not to love? Can't wait to get back in!“

“Ashley the GM was overloaded with customers but moved with extremely quickness, calmness, and was very friendly. We rarely get service like that at ANY restaurant. This iHop was very clean and the food was exceptional. Best iHop we have gone to!“

“The pizza was good — not amazing, but solid — and the ranch dressing was incredible. We popped in because The Village had a 45-minute wait and got seated right away, which was a win. Lots of TVs, so we could watch both the MLB playoffs and college football, and our server was genuinely great — friendly and helpful. That said, it definitely leans more toward an adult vibe. Even though there’s an arcade, the prices are a bit steep ($17 for a kid’s spaghetti and one meatball). And the playlist? Let’s just say it was giving “bow chicka bow wow late-night R&B” energy — not exactly the soundtrack I expected for family pizza night at 6:30 p.m on a Saturday. We’ll probably go back, but next time, maybe earlier in the day when hopefully it’s more family-friendly.“

“Todo esta súper Rico la verdad 💯 recomendable“

“We had a delicious breakfast this AM at Sam’s Place Service fantastic.. everything was fresh .. Will be back again for sure !!“

“Great breakfast with my honey! So cool to have a Honduran breakfast including black bean soup and platanos, while my husband ordered a traditional eggs/hashbrowns combo. Nice staff, fun Western decor. Love all the window booth seats. We’ll be back!“

“We had an incredible lunch here. The restaurant is kind of hidden in a strip mall, but worth the journey. The most flavorful tikka masala we've ever had and perfectly spiced saag. Butter naan, rice, and raita was fresh too. Can't wait to try more next time!“

“Absolutely loved the food at Active Culture! They have so many vegetarian and vegan options, and everything tastes super fresh and flavorful. Their OG house sauce is honestly one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted — it ties everything together perfectly. Definitely recommend trying their bowls and tacos, both were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Stopped in on a Sunday at 2:45. Great service and awesome food. Big portions. I got the Kung Pao trio. Subbed the white rice for flat noodles. $2 up charge but worth it to me.
Wife got the veggie spring rolls and chicken satay. I “sampled” both and they were really great. The sauces were awesome.“

“I've lived in Novato for six years. I've tried several Chinese restaurants and haven't been impressed. I've resorted to driving down to Ping's in Northgate One. That all changed today when I stopped at China Village in the San Marin Plaza. They know their stuff! Everything was flavorful and delicious. I'll be back!“

“Food is always fresh , friendly people who work there“

“Love the Monday night karaoke! Karaoke host, bar tender, and all of the people there were so fun and friendly. Will definitely be returning! �“

“Compact setting with comfortable seating at 7-8 tables. Latin soccer and entertainment news on overhead TV. Attentive service. Free salsa. Jamaica, and orchata with usual drinks and Mexican beer. I like the street tacos. Variety of Mexican ingredients to replicate a trip to Yucatan.“

“Seriously is there a 12 Step Group available for your cookies? I’m addicted! As I live outside Seattle I haven’t as yet visited your delicious bakery, but believe me I’m doing my part by consuming the boxes of cookies stocked by #townandcountrymarketbainbridge Yummy🥰“

“I had a super steak burrito on three separate occasions and throughly enjoyed the burrito every time. Top 5 burritos I've ever tried and I've tried most of them from the bay, says a lot. The meat has a nice smoky flavor and the hananero salsa was on point“

“Great drinks and food. You will not be disappointed!“

“PROTECT THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. THIS IS A NOVATO STAPLE, A HISTORICAL LANDMARK, AN ICONIC TAKE OUT TO GO FOOD FOR EVERY SUPERBOWL AND AFTER PARTY! THIS PLACE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE THE AGE OF SMART PHONES. OBW FOREVER!!

Parking: Please consider the market and two other establishments but there is plenty of parking out front.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, very kid friendly. Lots of grass across the parking lot for kids to run around (supervised) as it is in the middle of a parking lot and a busy street.“

“very bad customer service. dirty forks on table. server was to busy eating her lunch to see if we needed anything. food was ok I've had better.“

“Omfg this food was bomb, I ordered while hungry which was stupid , I got the value plate that feeds 6 people,it has BBQ beef n BBQ chicken, some other chicken rice, hells shit, beef Simon, mango smoothies, loco moco, and omg I can feed a family“

“Sushi Holic is a fantastic sushi spot offering fresh, high-quality fish and beautifully prepared rolls packed with flavor. The menu has a great variety, from classic favorites to creative specialty rolls, all made with care and attention to detail. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great place for a relaxed meal. The staff is friendly, attentive, and provides excellent service. Highly recommend Sushi Holic for a delicious and satisfying sushi experience!“

“Taqueria Mi Pueblo III was a nice stop for lunch after almost three years. I was in the mood for a drink, so I ordered a margarita, and we shared a guacamole dip to start. Both were enjoyable, though the guacamole was just a bit saltier than I would have preferred. Still, it hit the spot and was a good way to kick off the meal.

For the main course, I went with the carne asada plate, while my significant other ordered a meat quesadilla. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying, with solid portion sizes. It was a warm Sunday, so we chose to sit outside, which made for a relaxed and comfortable dining experience.

The service really stood out. The ladies who took our order and served us were friendly and attentive, and a young man helping with the tables kept everything moving smoothly. Overall, it was a pleasant, easygoing meal with good food and welcoming service, definitely a place we’d return to.“

“The Lebron James of Little Ceasars branches. The undisputed goat. The ONLY Little Ceasars I trust. Never fails me, always 5/5 with their Pizzas.

My order:
1 box Detroit style deep dish 3 meat
2 box pepperoni stuffed crust
2 box pepperoni thin crust
4x garlic butter

Always on point with their pizzas

I don’t know how they do it but they are just so much better.“

“Every time I'm in town I make sure to hit China Palace at least once, but if I'm being honest I would go there as many times as my family will let me! The Mongolian beef is an abundant portion and some of the best I've had. Super tender, tons of flavor. If you want to feel like you've had your veggies, pair the Mongolian beef with mu shu vegetables. They're super fresh, a nice little crunch and also an abundant portion (that will last you a couple days for lunch after!). This is my favorite combo, but honestly I've never had anything I didn't thoroughly enjoy here!“

“App is really easy. I got to say that the pizza and the new apple dip cinnamon twists were really delicious. I hope they become a permanent item. The chocolate lava cake is the best in the fast food industry.They always remember my dipping sauces. There is a Latina around 22 years old there after 5 PM that is always so nice“
