50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rowland Heights

“Was hungry so went here for a quick bite. The line was ok waited about 5 minutes before I got seated. My server Joe helped me in recommending what was good to pick from the skewer bar. The beef quality was really good and the appetizers were nice too.“

“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.“

“Yumiyaki is the best. Come here. You won’t regret it. I promise. I SWEAR TO YOU. This will be a memorable and delicious meal. Make a reservation ahead of time (even call if you don’t see the time you want available) so you aren’t left waiting for a long time, table turnover is slow but only because the experience is so amazing. Put in a reservation when you leave and then drive all the way over, no matter where you live in LA. It’s well worth the mileage and the price. And if you plan on coming back, even once, it’s worth the membership! It’ll save you ten bucks a person and covers two people. It pays itself off in one visit. Then you get twenty bucks off for a group of two every time you come. I’m on my way there right now. Eat here or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!!!!!“

“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.“

“I recently visited Jang Ga Nae for gamjatang, and as expected from a place specializing in it, the gamjatang was excellent. But what really surprised me was how good their bossam and Squid Stir-Fry are — it’s definitely another standout dish. If you come here, I highly recommend ordering both the gamjatang, the bossam and Squid.

The flavors are very clean, and you can really feel the care and home-style quality in the cooking. This is one of my top Korean restaurant recommendations in the Lorena Heights area — highly recommended!

One last thing: I hope to see the owner smile a little more often — it would make the experience even better.“

“We went on a Friday afternoon for lunch, it was not too busy.

We ordered the tempura udon and the pork cutlet, both were delicious. We ended with the matcha bouchee, the soft cookie cream sandwich and that was unique and really good as well. Will have to come back to try more dishes!“

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

“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“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“I recently dined at Sun Nong Dan on a Sunday for lunch. Although it was quite busy, there was no wait time at 1:30! The koh galbi jjim with cheese was absolutely delicious - savory and flavorful. We had a large group and were worried about the serving size not being enough, but ended up having way more than enough food, which is definitely a good problem to have. Our server, YH, was super attentive and helped us navigate the menu, making the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend Sun Nong Dan for great food and service!“

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

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

“Very relaxed atmosphere, liked the sweet potato pizza.“

“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).“

“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 really good and the rolls are my favorites“

“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 😊“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 3*

Stopped by here for dinner and we were not disappointed. All the food was fresh, tasty, and ample. We were a party of 8, so we ordered and good amount of food. Everything was great. The orange chicken was not as sweet as others and was really good.

Food break down:
The hot and sour soup was delicious, tasty and hit the spot.
The sliced fish in Szechwan sauce was fantastic. The fish was perfectly cooked and the heat was the right amount of spice and flavor.
The pork and cabbage dumplings were juicy and tender. I wished I ordered two orders of this.
The combination sautéed noodles was great as well. A good mix of pork, chicken, and seafood with a nice light sauce. Very tasty.
The pan seared green beans were delicious. Tender crisp with “the breath” of the wok which was slightly smokey. Always a favorite.
The combination fried rice was tasty and a good balance of flavors. For the rice lovers.
The braised eggplant was a surprise hit. Eggplant can be bland but this wasn’t. It had a nice blend of spice and flavor, and was a hit.
The beef with broccoli was delicious as well. Tasty and packed with tender crisp broccoli.

The service was great. The owner lady was attentive, helpful and gave good recommendations (sliced fish, hot and sour soup). The ambience was dated, but clean. No A/C made it hot while eating. All in all a great meal.“

“Located inside 168 market. I arrived at the opening hour do service was quick. Will definitely try other things when I'm in the area. Good food and portions. Ordered 2 items- The tripe fried rice and the fried crispy tofu in peanut sauce. Cost close to $40 but the leftovers were enough for 1-2 more meals.“

“This little mom-and-pop noodle shop was such a great find! We stumbled in right around 8:30 PM, just before they closed, and ended up being the last ones there.
​Their noodles were honestly delicious. I mean, my nephew, who is notoriously picky, even complimented the shrimp noodle! The dandan noodles were a touch too salty for my personal taste, but everyone else absolutely loved them.
​Even though it was late, the service was great. We never felt rushed. I'm definitely going to be coming back whenever a noodle craving hits!“

“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~“

“We have cravings for Korean food, but not the typical Korean BBQ. So we checked out Hanshin Pocha for the first time. Very down to earth setting. In the middle there's a big article and picture of the famous Korean chef (Chef Jong Won Paik) who also founded this chain of restaurants.

We told the server this is our first time so he was very helpful to explain the tradition and the type of food and what are their specialties.

We listened and ordered the whole fried chicken, the whole octopus, and the chicken feet stew!

We had such a good time! The food were exceptional! So tasty and fresh! You really have to try this place out and get the chicken!

Parking was very tigh as there are so many businesses and restaurants in this complex.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“麵爽，云呑好味，丸子夠料“

“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!“

“My son ordered from the big menu (not lunch special) to customized the taste to be a little bland with sauces on the sides. I am recovering from illness. William helped us a lot; what best dish to order and how it's cooked! He's very attentive to our order and did really great! He's very knowledgeable and worked with the cook to give us the best meal! My son was greatly impressed with the service, he said he like to go back.“

“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.“

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

“Permanently Closed :(

I have been coming to this restaurant and their other locations for DECADES. I remember their old location in city of industry as well as a few other locations. I visit Happy Family frequently. They know my family and I, they have great service and great food.
Today my family and I came to enjoy our favorite vegetarian Chinese food only to find out that they are permanently closed :( They closed about 3 weeks ago according to the 99 Ranch employees.
Giving Happy Family 5 stars because they will forever be in our hearts 💔“

“Yuk Dae Jang never disappoints. This was probably my 7th or 8th visit and the food and service continue to be excellent.

Tonight my fiancée and I ordered a small bossam and the yuk dae jang ramyun. Both dishes were flavorful, well balanced, and paired really nicely together. We also enjoyed the free refill side dishes. I went for the fish cakes while she loved the kimchi. A bowl of purple rice rounded things out perfectly, especially with the leftover ramyun broth.

Big plus, they finally serve alcohol now. The ambiance was comfortable and even though it got busier toward the end of our meal, it never felt overwhelmingly loud. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish.

Highly recommend this spot if you are craving solid Korean comfort food in Rowland Heights.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Mian is a great spot if you love Chinese noodles. They offer a wide variety of noodle dishes from different regions of China, so you can really taste several styles in one place. It feels unique, modern, and the restaurant stays open late, which is probably why so many young people come here.

If you’re a noodle lover, this is definitely a fun and unique place to try. The prices are affordable, and the overall quality is solid. If you live in the Rowland Heights area, it’s worth stopping by at least once to check it out.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The music playing was very relaxing“

“They carry a variety of different types of dim sum, always fresh and friendly staff“

“I’m a big fan of skewers, and this place truly stands out among all the skewer spots I’ve visited. One of the unique experiences here is grilling the fresh meat skewers yourself, which allows you to fully appreciate the juiciness and heartiness of each bite. Their dan dan noodles are a must-try and come highly recommended.“

“We had a group of 11 people dining here today, and it was everyone’s first time visiting this restaurant. From the portion sizes to the flavors, every dish received unanimous praise.
A special shoutout to Roger, our server, who was incredibly attentive and fun. He noticed every detail, kept refilling our water glasses, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Even though we stayed and chatted for quite a while, he remained friendly and thoughtful the entire time. It’s rare to experience such excellent service in a Chinese restaurant!
The chef also did a fantastic job—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared.
We’re so happy to have discovered New Garden as a wonderful new spot for gatherings with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Delicious soups and recommend here hot pot“

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

“Great food esp their Nasi Bungkus“

“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.

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
