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“

“Okay, they left samples out so I tried most of them. Quite a few things were on the dry side for me. If you're going to go with any breads, I'd say stick to the Asian fillings like taro or red bean: those were best. I was not impressed by the chocolate stuff. The one thing you definitely have to get from this place is the egg tart. It's so good, I came before and after dim sum to get more.“

“Hanshin Pocha opening in Rowland means I no longer have to drive all the way to K-Town when I’m craving Korean bar food. I’ve been to the original location many times, so I’m really glad they expanded.

For me, the must-orders are the spicy squid and the cheese hot plates. The rice was fun to mix and tasted decent, nothing mind-blowing but still satisfying.

The fried chicken was just okay — a little on the dry side IMO— but still makes for a solid bite, especially when you’re drinking. I also really appreciate that their beer mugs come pre-chilled. It's the little things.

Overall, a fun and casual late-night spot that brings the K-Town vibe to the SGV. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“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.“

“We came late. Hour before closing so yes we had to rush to get what we wanted even tho it was our first time. And oh my gosh !!! Everything was toooo delicious 🤤 everything. And I need to go back and try more“

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

“This an all you can eat hot pot place that is so good. I recommend coming here and getting the original or mushroom broth. They have a buffet style so you can pick your own meat, noodles, appetizers, drinks and more. They even have a sauce station. Highly recommend and reasonably priced as well!“

“Mixed bag. The fried pork (탕수육) was really good and came in a generous portion. But the jjajangmyeon (짜장면)—despite being pricier than other places—was no better, maybe even worse.

I would recommend this place for family event or meeting after golf or something“

“I came here on a rainy Saturday night needing something to warm my belly and I did not leave disappointed. The restaurant we wasn't too busy on Saturday but that's good for me since I hate waiting outside for anything longer than 20 mins for food. Got the neck bone OG gamja-tang and it came with plenty of meat on the bones, rice and some classic side dishes. The soup itself was tasty and just spicy enough. The meat was tender and fulfilling. Service was solid and everything was chill. Plus they had the dodgers on which is a good sign in my book. No frills or thrills here, just a good meal at a solid spot in a plaza I rarely frequent. However I'll be back to try their bossam or their cold noodle dishes when the weather warms up.“

“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!!“

“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 Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

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

“My favorite Korean fried chicken spot on the east side. The flavor is just as authentic as what I had in Korea. I especially love the pickled radish that comes with the chicken—it’s the perfect balance to the crispy, flavorful bites. Whenever I crave Korean fried chicken, this is my go-to place.“

“No wait time Sunday lunch before noon. It was pretty good. Need to have a little spicy so that the soup and food would be flavorful. Your typical ma la tang hot pot dining. My mom likes it and we'll be back soon. Soup did get more salty though as it keeps cooking. Not sure if there was rice or not.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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?“

“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.“

“well good food great service“

“Great Taste and very large portions. Two thumbs up! 👍👍“

“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.“

“It's a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, no fancies. But the food is the star here. I usually have the rich Japanese curry with a side of breaded chicken. My 9 year old is infatuated with the humongous kid meal, and we usually get a sandwich to go. Price is right, and people are friendly without frills. It's a regular on out list.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love Casa Alvarez being going there since 1973 when I move to Rowland Hts I order my food to take out every body are very nice I go there very often so some of them already recognize my voice in the phone and know my name too THE FOOD IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS I NEVER HAVE NO PROBLEMS ME ENCANTA LA COMIDA MEXICANA THANK YOU GRACIAS 😊“

“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~“

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

“I’ve come to this restaurant for over 20+ years. It was always a go to Chinese-Korean place. Recently the ownership changed and they remodeled but I was scared the food might taste different. Thank God the food still tastes delicious!
Now with better service and cleaner atmosphere, we still come here often!“

“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.“

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

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

“MIAN is such a great spot! We got the pork rib noodle soup and pork dumplings, and both were really good. The ribs were super tender, the broth had great flavor without being too greasy, and I love that they pack the noodles and soup separately so the noodles don’t get soggy. The dumplings were juicy and the sweet/spicy dipping sauce was spot on—not too spicy for the kids either.

The place is clean and chill, and the service was quick and friendly. Prices are super reasonable, which is always a win when eating out with the family.

Overall, it’s an easy, tasty meal that everyone enjoyed. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to friends and family.“

“Tight squeeze for groups larger than 4 but the price for all you can eat lunch here is unbeatable. Servers are nice and will explain how to order via tablet or qr code. The meat is good quality with a large selection of cuts, the sides are also really good and can be picked up regularly at the side (recommend the kimchi and fish cake).“

“excellent service & great breakfast!! denver omelette is my go to always. i was very pleased with how golden my toast was & how fresh my coffee was. my server was attentive and also the manager, what an awesome guy to talk to! can’t wait to return.“

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

“This is definitely one of the best tasty vegan restaurants in Southern California, or even the whole California since I’ve also lived in Bayarea for a little over 20 years.

I’m not a vegetarian but I enjoyed the foods so much, very tasty and offer huge varieties from the menu. They are NOT those dry undercooked vegetables you have in your mind, they have eggplants, pumpkins, tofu, meat-like stuff dishes made from soybeans .

The atmosphere may not be the best but the food is simply awesome!“

“The food quality and portion size have both gone down over the years. However, they are still above average compared to other restaurants, because the taste has not changed much.

My family and I have been coming for years; and recently their prices have increased too...“

“Great food esp their Nasi Bungkus“

“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.“

“Love this family business. We go for taco nights and have booked them for parties. For parties they have a nice set up with their own tables, easy up, table cloths and decorative serving dishes.

BTW The truck location now accepts ZELLE!!!“

“I love this taco truck! The service was amazing and everyone was so kind. My boyfriend accidentally dropped all three of his tacos right after getting them 😅 When he went back to order more, they asked if something was wrong with the tacos. He explained what happened and they offered to replace all of them! He insisted on paying for another 3, but when the order was ready, they surprised us with 4 tacos instead! 🥹❤️

Not only was the service incredible, but the tacos were so yummy full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This place is a must try taco truck! 🌮🔥 Thank you guys so much we were so happy and really enjoyed our tacos!“

“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!“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“Although there are so many authentic Chinese restaurants in the Rowland Heights area, This place is on the TOP. Beware of the huge portions though, don’t order too many entrees because you can’t finish them all! My favourites are clam soup and hot Chili pork, and the price is pretty reasonable too. I also like the fact they use portable wireless device for ordering and CC.“
