50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rowland Heights

“My five star rating is for the House Special Dragon Hair, also known as Dragon Whiskers, Dragon Beard, or Chayote Vines.

Served as a cold dish, it was fresh and crisp, definitely something you will crave again! I wish more restaurants served this vegetable entree!

As you can see below (I added photos for the entire Eat Joy Food menu) they have a massive menu of Taiwanese banquet style food options. So many items that it was a bit overwhelming but luckily we had a Taiwanese friend do the ordering for us.

As for ambiance, it’s average but the stinky tofu smell in the air was a bit tough to deal with. Pricing is a bit on the high end compared to Java Cafe (another Taiwanese spot nearby).“

“麵爽，云呑好味，丸子夠料“

“If you’re looking for just some simple for lunch. Here is a good choice for you.
The dumplings are super cute and crispy skin, different type dumplings have different colors which is very thoughtful. Of course , don’t forget to order the fried squid. All they taste so so so delicious!
Unfortunately, except dumplings, noodles, few vegetables….., not too many choices. If you come with big group, maybe not right place.
Good to try!“

“The breads are huge and stuffed with delicious and flavorful flavors. They have try outs with led us to buy even more since they were all so yummy! When we were checking out the lady let us know if we buy one more we would get one for free and she was so helpful and patient! I highly recommend the coconut and pumpkin! The bread were all so soft and fresh! There’s also a coffee and chicken place in the same store. Each bread was around $4-5 on average but the size was bigger than most places like 85.“

“Wagyu House was excellent! George was a great! He was helpful in telling us what was good and what was not. All of his recommendations were great.“

“Love this sukiyuki restaurant! We get the standard vision, and it's very good! The meat quality is excellent, and melts in my mouth. The sushi is fresh, and I like their tuna sashimi as well. Curry is pretty good. Their milk tea is pretty good quality, and I recommend you try it. I definitely will come back to try better vision here. I recommend people come here early so parking and waiting time would be less, and make sure to eat wagyu as much as possible if you are hungry.“

“Exploring new places for hot pot and picked this one to try. The selections of vegetables and seafoods were abundant. It’s included with the meat choice of combo. From the basic to the waygu beef premium. Order your cuts of meat through the servers and the rest is at the cooler for your picking. Mix your own dipping sauce at one of the stations. They have small selection of dessert items, very basic, fried milk bun served with condensed milk. It was a bit dry since it was sitting out for quite sometime, the red bean filling sesame balls were a bit stale. Service was great! We went there around 5:30pm on a weekend night and there was no waiting.

Vegetarian options: One side of the cooler has a large selection of vegetables and tofu for vegetarians.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Yong moon lu is the best. I would go everyday if I could! The yangjang pi was the best I’ve ever had with just enough spice from the mustard. It was delicious as leftovers too (the portions were huge - we had leftovers for days). The fried chicken was really good too. Even better than the sweet and sour pork, which is typically my favorite. We were so full but still enjoyed the jjajangmyeon and jjampong. The candied sweet potato they gave at the end as a free dessert was absolutely delightful. I wish they sold it! It’s so good. Not too sweet (the best Asian compliment). The staff are extremely fast, helpful, and very hard working. We got great service. Can’t wait to go again! Try to go early because they have a huge wait but.. it’s also worth the wait. Parking lot is small-ish so find parking elsewhere on the street“

“Oden soup is super delicious & not spicy which is original style- i am Japanese/Korean - because LA chef came this location??
Fried chicken smaller than LA Hanshin pocha so more good & yammy - in old Korean / Japanese style we prefer Hen rather than chicken. DIY rice ball so so good !! Tomato Eggs is also good( hard to make it in Home)but always tomato sauce side is better. I can’t eat spicy foods because Paik’s spicy foods r really spicy so not try with me.

Vegetarian options: Many Seafood menu but spicy

Parking: Lunch time weekday is ok
But dinner time & weekend crazy parking“

“I tried their BOSSAM and Seafood Pancakes. Both were delicious!! The side food was so good too. Especially the kimchi. I feel like their foods are very tasty and fresh. I want to come back soon again.

The service was okay, there was only one person handling the hall. And we had to wait a little. Not saying it was bad but it could be better if there was another person helping.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“The music playing was very relaxing“

“Super yummy… family favorite! I love the string beans and the fried hunan spicy pork! The service might vary because we are frequent customers but they are always kind and welcoming! The interior is pretty standard, didn’t really notice anything glaring the many times i’ve been here.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“The Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“My first experience was at the Tustin location, and had to come bring my cousin who lives in the area so she can experience the gloriousness that is AYCE skewer hotpot here at MLBB.

Despite it being 90°F outside, we still continued our plan to eat here. It was fine as the AC was on.

We came in for lunch and got the a la carte broth - half bone broth and half spicy butter oxtail. We also ordered the AYCE meats on the menu and enjoyed a variety of the skewer options.

However, I would stay away from the spicy broth if you can't handle it, as, even for me, who can hold their spice pretty decently, the mild option was so spicy, my cousin and I were dying, but it was still so good that we continued eating.

There wasn't much staff, but they did their job well and explained things for us and had good service.

I absolutely loved the retro street vibes in the restaurant, as well as the vintage posters of popular celebrities in Taiwan.

Overall, it's a really great experience and will definitely come back.“

“Very good tasting experience! The food they provided is defintaly totally worth the price, and the boss are always very kind, they've share a lot interesting story with us. When you got time definitely should give a try!!! BTW, it's also pet friendly, they'll assign a place close to the front gate which will allow you to bring your pets and not bother other customer.“

“It’s really good and the rolls are my favorites“

“Situated inside of 168 Chinese supermarkets with its own set of clean seats and tables. The stir fried thin rice noodles were good, as were the fried stuffed tofu. This is a good place to taste some basic Indonesian dishes besides nasi gorings.“

“Pickled Fish: The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the sauerkraut is crispy and appetizing, the soup base is sour and spicy but not choking at all, every bite is full of sincerity! I especially like the light numbing aroma, paired with hot rice, it is simply a healing tool in winter!

Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!

Home-style tofu: The tofu is fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It absorbs the fragrance of the sauce and is smooth and tender in the mouth without losing the bean flavor. Paired with the crispness of fungus and green pepper, it is full of texture, simple but full of homey taste, and it is a perfect meal!

The three dishes in this restaurant each have their own merits. The taste is authentic and the portions are substantial. You will become a fan after eating it once! Highly recommended to friends who love food~“

“Chinese restaurant, friendly service, speaking Chinese!
Fried rice is delicious
Fried dumplings are delicious
Hot and sour soup is delicious
Beef burrito is delicious
Add raw chili?️even better?“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“We got the bulgogi pizza with the gold crust, garlic chicken and cheese corn. Everything was made fresh to order. We waited about 15-20 mins before we got seated at our table, the cool thing is they let you pre-order ahead of time. Food was delicious!“

“well good food great service“

“The bowl is so LARGE. It has so much options to choose. So much different kind of Noodles, meatballs, spicy beef, good cut of beef, lamb, spam, tons of veggies. Sauce is FREE. 5-6 kind of soup to choose. My favorite one is tomato soup. It's so delicious. Thank you. Its $25, but tbh my bowl can feed me 3 meals lol. $14 per lbs.“

“I'm not a foodie by any means, but this place throughly impressed me. I ordered the omurice with corn soup and fried chicken. The portion sizes was plenty for me and everything was really flavorful.

I would especially recommend the fried chicken. Each piece is huge compared to the typical karaage style chicken.

Would love to see this restaurant up in norcal!“

“If you want to drink Korean soup, this restaurant is definitely the first choice. It tastes very good. Although there are only four side dishes, they all taste good. The purple rice is also delicious. The highlight is definitely the big pot of beef bones, potatoes and Rice cake, tastes very good, but the price is a bit expensive“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“Ordered the wonton noodle soup with medium spice level. The spice level was quite high, medium was plenty for me. Broth was flavorful, and the noodles and wontons were good. Portion size was good for the price. It definitely fulfilled my craving for a hot soup on a cold day.“

“Excellent food and superb service. I give them a 10/10!!!“

“en general toda la comida esta deliciosa el rico menudo chile verde en general todo está riquisimo se los recomiendo“

“Located on a less visited side of the plaza, there's this Korean restaurant that has fair prices food and portions.

Standard to all Korean restaurant, we were served with various side dishes which were pretty good flavor breakers for the food that was coming in.

We ordered a cold noodle dish, a Tripe/Brisket Glass noodle dish, and the premium bossam.

The staff was kind enough to inform us how to eat the premium bossam, providing lettuce to create a mixture wrap.

Alternating between the bossam and brisket was a easy break of flavor between the two, and you would quickly devour both in no time.

I wouldn't say there was anything in particular that stood out from this place, but sometimes you don't need a WOW place to eat at, and instead a quickly seated restaurant for some comfy food is all you need.“

“Good service & food. I ordered pozoles and I enjoyed very much.“

“I love their dry pot. It's a different kind of hot pot“

“I love this place. I'm so glad we found it. The broth in the pho is so flavorful. Had me go back twice in one weekend lol the man who i assume is the owner is such a sweetheart and always has such a welcoming smile when you walk in. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Very good home style meal. Not the cheapest, but good valued meal.“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“Great food esp their Nasi Bungkus“

“Gui BBQ Restaurant & Bar offers an amazing BBQ experience with fresh, high-quality meats and delicious sides. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are attentive and friendly, making the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a fun dining experience!“

“$2 per taco on regular days. I tried their pastor, cabeza, buche, tripas, carnitas, and birria. My favorite was the cabeza, but all were pretty decent. They set up a table under a tent with a bunch of seats outside if you want to eat there.“

“This little bakeshop is all about making delicious pastries, cakes, Taiwanese sandwiches and snacks. It's my go-to place for a quick n' yummy breakfast or tea party pastries. it's a traditional bakeshop, nothing fancy. But they know what they are doing. Their owner, Leo and I created a lot beautiful and delicious wedding cakes together. He is very easy to work with and will go the extra miles to meet your request. They are specialized in fresh cream cake with fresh fruit ingredients. And their price is really reasonable, too. This is definitely a hidden jewel in our neighborhood. Check out some of the wedding cakes we designed together.“

“Lots of free snacks! Recommend the sesame dumplings and glutinous rice dumplings! The spicy hot pot tastes very good, the best Chongqing hot pot I have had in years! Recommend the pork belly, lamb shoulder, loin fillet and fish fillet. Big praise for Xi’an waitress!“

“Those who gave bad reviews must be malicious reviews sent by competitors. The environment is good, the service is good, and the food is fresh and delicious. Those who said it was expensive were those who commented on it few years ago. Prices are soaring recently, but the restaurant still maintain the original price. The pot for two people actually is enough for 3. Do those who say the portions are small eat one barrel each meal? I don’t understand people who gave one star at all. You even need $25 for pho if taxes and tips add now. Those who can’t afford it should cook at home instead of going to restaurants.“

“I usually come here with my family since we have so many people and the tables can seat up to about 10 people which makes it really easy for us. Parking can be a hit or miss depending on the day but usually you'll be able to find parking. The menu is available in Chinese and English and there are also Photos for some dishes making it easy for you to order. The one thing that I love about this restaurant is that they have the lazy Susan and all of the dishes are proportioned to be family style so you don't have to settle on one dish for yourself, but have the opportunity to try a little little bit of everything. The food is extremely fresh, well seasoned and not too salty, and it comes out pretty quickly. We usually like to start out with the fish maw soup and work our ways through entrées like fried rice or the dry chow fun flat noodles. Then we choose a couple of proteins. I will say though the fish that I have here was $150+ so as good as it was I would not recommend it unless you are willing to spend that much. The staff are really quick on their feet and nice!“

“Friday 8/9/24 Dinner at Golden Noodle & Grill in Rowland Heights. I’ve ordered #38 Roasted chicken on tomato rice. It is so crispy outside flavorful and tender inside; so delicious. This restaurant is a hidden gem which makes delicious Vietnamese foods with reasonable prices.

Long, service staff, was friendly and attentive to customers.

Van Huynh, restaurant owner & chef, has a great personality and cooks delicious Vietnamese foods. Dishes includes pho, broken rice, vermicelli, Chinese noodle soup, chow fun & mein, congee, Banh mi, Vietnamese deserts, milk shakes, and smoothies; all at a reasonable price. She took her time to greet me and even strike a pose for a photo which is posted on her Google map restaurant. Thank you Van!

The restaurant has nice decorations, clean, well lit, and well air conditioned on this warm day.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.
