50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Palo Alto

“This ramen shop is my proud spot to take visiting friends in Palo Alto. It is hard to find good Asian food in Palo Alto with reasonable price. However, Ramen Nagi is so good that it is worth the bucks. I have tried all flavors and it is all delicious, including Veggie Ramen. Prepared to be full after slurping all the ramen! The line is very long so the trick is to get there before the shop opens. 15 minutes early should be good enough.

UPDATE 2026/6: Still very popular with a long line! I still finish the ramen to the very last drop :) The chicken karaage is also good but I am surprised that the boys don't like it that much. Anyway, just ramen itself is enough to check this place out.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“Delicious and wonderful service! Everything tasted delightful and all the servers were beyond helpful, truly service with a smile. The presentation dazzles and it feels elegant without being over the top. We had long wanted to try - you need to get a reservation! - and we were NOT disappointed. A tasty meal outside under their clever shading. Definitely try it out, tons of options including plenty of veggie plates!“

“The garlic fries and pickles are a must-have, and the burgers are crisp and juicy! When I had a problem using a coupon on an order, the staff was kind enough to give me my burger for free. Definitely go here for good customer service and awesome food!“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“I REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD....IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS AND THE PRICES WERE EXCELLENT“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic service and Delicious food. Our server ( didn’t catch her name ) was awesome. I do remember she had a beautiful accent. I believe when asked she said she was originally from Kenya! Kudos to her for taking such good care of us! We live in San Joaquin Valley but we will definitely make the trip back for dinner!“

“Had dinner with some friends, had the crepes, amazing stuff. The staff is the best, friendly, beautiful very efficient. highly recommended...“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“The food is absolutely delicious, flavorful served with quality ingredients. I have a sensitive stomach but every dish tried works for me with no issues (as the ingredients used are high quality I suppose)

The staff at Sunnyvale are welcoming, friendly and have the best service.

It’s a very popular place. So glad they arrived at Sunnyvale. Now the need to open a location in San Jose.

Had the silver spoon chicken boti roll, paneer tikka masala, naans and I can’t recall the last dish but it was the rotisserie chicken style ( oh that was so great). Their tea was so also awesome.

Will be back!“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“New York Pizza in Palo Alto is, in my opinion, the best pizza in the Bay Area. The taste of their pizzas is absolutely delightful, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff is just amazing, so attentive, friendly, and always ready to serve and make sure you’re satisfied. I love dining in, but their delivery service is also fantastic. It’s a treat every single time! Thank you for everything!“

“Comida Grega, muito bem temperada, no ponto certo. Para mim, claro! Parabéns!“

“Cheerful welcome greeting, seated quickly and attended to throughout a very good meal.“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“The server went above and beyond to help my daughter with her order. She was a bit hangry and overwhelmed by the options, so our server took a little extra time to offer a helpful solution that worked great for us. The food was also delicious. The broth of the vegetarian was one of the best I have had and really liked the Brussels sprouts, which was a new ingredient for me.“

“I’ve been there a few times and is always very good I highly recommend“

“Sweet Maple, a chain brunch restaurant, is not only available in Palo Alto but also in Cupertino and San Francisco. Every weekend, there are long lines of people waiting.

For a period of time, I often went to Sweet Maple in PA for brunch. I tried many dishes but couldn't figure out what made it so special. My personal experience was that it was functional, and perhaps a workermanlike approach is what customers need!

Sometimes success doesn't require your plating to be as exquisite as Michelin-starred restaurants, because your competitors are IHOP and Denny's.

Functional, consistently functional, with a slightly better environment and appearance, can make you stand out.“

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever tasted! 🍦
I really liked:
Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons
Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate Gooey Brownie
Hazelnut Cookies & Cream
Birthday Cakes & Blackberries

The staff is super friendly, and they’re happy to let you try as many samples as you’d like before choosing.

It can get crowded and there may be a wait, but it’s definitely worth it.“

“Very good food!!! Awesome service!!! We will be back!!!“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special?

“Very good food and friendly service. They also have heated outdoor seating.

“Amazing restaurant. Fantastic food, cocktails, and atmosphere. Affordable for downtown Palo Alto with great portions. Shout out to the awesome new manager Tyrel. Also shout out Lupe and the rest of the staff they do an amazing job and are very friendly.“

“Great sushi! My favorite is the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The staff is so incredibly friendly, kind and professional. They always provide great recommendations on which sushi to try. The service is quick and the food is incredibly tasty. Such a wonderful gem in the Palo Alto area!“

“Good legit Japanese restaurant. The chicken karaage was very tender and juicy. For some reason it was very spicy. The sukiyaki was ok. The beef was a little tough but tasted good. We also got a teriyaki salmon and assorted tempura. The salmon was a little over cooked. which I expected it to be better. All in all a great place for a good representation of Japanese cuisine.“
