42 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Carlos

“Great cheap breakfast spot, the staff are great and the food is good. The food was so cheap I ordered a waffle in addition to my French toast.
They have a nice little bar for single individuals.
The only thing I would change is their French toast uses regular bread. Maybe I had to ask for large Texas toast, which I prefer.“

“Very solid meal, surprisingly refined service for a small shop.
Szechuan noodle soup was extremely good!
Smashed Cucumber Salad, solid! Seasoning was very well balanced.
Two remaining dishes that were great, but not standouts like the Szechuan Soup.
Beef & corn steamed dumplings were juicy and flavorful.
Pork XLB was well executed as well.

The server was attentive, provided good recommendations, brought a free side dish of well executed cucumber salad to round out the meal as well & boxed leftovers.
Pleasantly surprised by that level of service for a casual weeknights dumpling spot.“

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“Súper Delicious, I recommend it to all my friends !“

“Friendly people and good food.“

“delicious pastrami sandwiches🤤“

“Walked in not expecting much but was greeted lovingly by a sweet family running shop by themselves. They seemed delighted that we were eating In and the small homey setting really felt like they inviting us to sit at their table. The spam masubi was incredible, served fresh, with a sweet sauce, and a little touch of pork sung in there made all the difference. I got the wagyu beef with egg meal. It also came with that signature sauce and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. As we left, packing up the leftovers off the heaping plates of food, the father ran out to give us some extra sauce and make sure we didn’t leave without knowing how much we were appreciated. The incredible food and the family’s hospitality truly made it feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with my grandparents and I would love to come back and support them more!“

“Great place to get together with friends & family. We had about 30 people for a family get together. Service was great. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting! Most of the food was outstanding. We are actually from Hawaii so we’re very critical about the food.“

“Love this place so much! Some of the best tacos I've had in quite a while. I got 3 tacos. 2 al pastor and 1 asada. The meat is fresh and the right amount of flavor and the salsa on the tacos are perfect. What's nice is they also have a salsa bar where you can get a bag of ships and different salsas. Definitely going back again“

“We love this place! Saffron offers the best North Indian food in the area (San Carlos / San Mateo) in a warm, welcoming setting.

The food quality is top-notch; our favorites include Lahsooni Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and the Aloo Kulcha on the weekend brunch menu. Parking can be a bit tough especially on weekend evenings, but it's worth it!“

“We come to this restaurant regularly and it never disappoints. We were there again for Thanksgiving with a group of friends, and it was perfect as always. They offered their regular menu along with a Thanksgiving special. The turkey was outstanding: perfectly cooked, flavorful, and incredibly moist.
Everything here is consistently delicious, with a great range of options, and the prices remain very reasonable (which has become rare these days!). The food, the atmosphere, the service and the reliability keep us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“Vriendelijke bediening, grote porties en heerlijke gerechten. Zeer mals vlees, een echte aanrader!“

“amazing food wonder staff“

“delicious food. very kind staff. will definitely be back.“

“muy rica comida! y los ceviches son delicious 😋“

“I've had many dinners her with a group that can fluctuate between a couple folks to 8+ and we always enjoy the meal. The food quality is always solid. And though one doesn't normally expect anything special from counter order service, here the staff is always kind, attentive and generous with servings.

I'm a fan of the tostada bowl but the menu has got ample variety including limited but solid vegetarian options.“

“One of rare places that serves sushi done right in the Bay area. Perhaps the only place that did not trigger my spouse’s sensitive stomach. I would get sushi over sashimi next time as their sashimi slices were on a bit thinner side to my taste. I know the server never meant any harm, but a little more friendliness would have gone a long way.“

“Ordered for delivery to my hotel. Arrived in 30 minutes, exactly as ordered, super hot, and really great pizza. Like Domino's on steroids. Highly recommended.“

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …“

“Love, love this place! Delicious wines and good people. Can't go wrong. Try the Barbara... it's a favorite.“

“Always great food & service! Clean, friendly & fresh food! Thank you again!🤗♥“

“We discovered Yan's a year ago and have been coming back ever since.

Yan's has a laidback, family-owned feel. The service is friendly, and I feel taken care of when I walk in.

The portions are generous so expect leftovers. The salt and pepper fried pork and the sticky rice cakes for dessert are my favorites every time.“

“Favorite family place...kids love it! ❤️“

“Fantastic night! Enjoyed Sema and her hospitality tremendously!“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

“We visited Siamese kitchen yesterday for dinner. Spring rolls were good not oily. Pad kee maw was spicy and flavourful. Coconut ice cream was good too. The dishes were a little pricey but may be because of inflation.Overall service was quick and good,tasty food and nice ambience.“

“Watched an NBA game, college basketball ?, and Olympics on two different big screens. Good volume, not too loud. Amazing pizza as always, best crust. Clean, fast, great beer selection. Great way to end an evening of adventures with my son.

Parking: Short walk from available street parking on El Camino Real. My understanding is there is a good sized lot in the back but never needed to go there.“

“Simply the best pho on the Peninsula! This is a very casual restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and staff and a video screen that shows authentic food preparation scenes from Vietnam. The service can at times be a little overwhelmed, because at dinner times they tend to be a little busy. But they are always pleasant and the food is fantastic and a good value at today's prices.“

“excelente servicio y los tacos de pescado están deliciosos😋 y buen precio por todo“

“Always like a place where the windows open up to the street, and there are a couple tables in front on the sidewalk you could use with your pup. The decor is simple but nice. The service a bit on the slow side, but nothing to complain about assuming you're not in a hurry. Food is very good and flavorful. But being Burmese don't expect your pad thai to be like in Thailand (here it is a little sweeter), nor your curry like India (not as spicy). We came for lunch midweek, and it is a bit expensive for lunch (because all they serve is off the same menu used for dinner). So your better value may be dinner. Our bill was $60 for two without tip or any alcohol.“
