50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Gabriel

“This place has great Sichuan food! It has so many varieties of food to try and are all very good! We got the chongqing cold noodles that were very flavorful and numby! The favorite was the mapotofu that had very soft silky tofu with minced pork and a sauce you can smother rice with. We also got the local flavor lamb that had tons of veggies along with the soft tender lamb meat. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and delicious and the sliced potatoes with vinegar was very refreshing and had a nice soft crunch to it.

The staff were very nice and attentive and the place is very very popular and busy. The atmosphere is just like any mom n pop Chinese restaurant.

I've been here in the past and have enjoyed other dishes like the twice cooked pork, various dumplings, wonton in chili oil, dan dan noodles, cumin lamb/mutton & sliced beef & ox offal! The portions are always huge and sharable and great value!“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“Been a customer since 1961 and my parents before that. I moved to San Diego in 2006, I miss this quality family owned business. Come on down to SD and show them how it’s done.“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“First time trying this food after exploring the Mission close by and it is so good! I got their chicken curry with rice and peas and it is very good! Their rice is coconut flavor which is not overpowering, just a good amount to balance out all the other flavors.
Will come back to try their other items on their menu!“

“I enjoy coming here when my partner and I can't agree one something. I wish the seating was more comfortable and the less cramped together but there usually is somewhere to sit. The cleaning staff is always quick to clear tables and manage trash and dishes. Even at its busiest there is usually plenty of parking.“

“Tried Vege Valley Restaurant recently and honestly it was a good surprise. I’m not even strictly vegetarian but the food was really flavorful and fresh. Ordered noodles and a veggie dish both were well cooked and not too oily, which I liked.
The place is simple perfect for a relaxed meal. Service was quick and staff were polite. Pricing also feels reasonable for the portion size.
Only small issue was parking, took a bit of time to find a spot. But overall definitely worth visiting if you want healthy and tasty veg food.“

“Came here for lunch and got their lunch special cold udon + mini (beef) curry rice set.

Starting off with the curry. It was very tasty and flavorful, rice was cooked well. The beef was also very tender and juicy. However, I wish the flavor of the curry permeated more into the beef as the beef tasted a little underseasoned.

I love cold noodles on a hot day, and I tend to prefer my noodles a little softer. The cold udon was served at the perfect temperature, but texture wise was a little on the al dente side. It was chewy but bordering a little too chewy/ hard. I wish it was cooked for 30-60s longer! Other than that, flavor of he broth was good.

The lunch set was a good amount of food and I left feeling full (couldnt finish my rice as it was too much carbs). Service is good and the restaurant was not too crowded when I was there. Would love to come back again to support a local restaurant and try out other stuff on their menu!“

“Great food and amazing service!

Parking is super easy since it’s located in a huge plaza.

I got here around 11:00 AM and waited in line for about 20 minutes. The line was mostly filled with older people speaking Cantonese, which told me right away that this place is super authentic!

The Beef Chow Fun is super flavorful and comes in a huge portion.
Their $12.99 breakfast combo is also a great deal with a huge portion—though it's pretty much pure carbs! And the best part is they still let you order it even after the breakfast hours.

You also get free refills on the Hong Kong style milk tea, and you can even take it to go for free. The iced version is the best, especially in the summer!

Unlike a lot of other places where the food is good but the service is terrible, the staff here is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. Good friendly service. Affordable. Wonderful Indian grocery. Highly recommended.“

“With plenty of bakeries around SGV, I had to try Oh My Pan as I've heard some good qualities about their shop. Parking here is small to moderate as it's shared with other shops. Pretty small lot but there's underground as well, could be a bit compact but street parking is also accessible.

At first glance, this is a pretty sizeable bakery. A decent amount of tables as well since it's a cafe combo. Cakes, bread, drinks are all accessible and the drinks are fairly good for the cheaper price compared to the standard boba shops.

Breads here are restocked fairly often and from the baskets, there's plenty of unique options of breads that aren't seen in other bakeries. One that caught my eye was the boba bread and the matcha swirl bread. Both are fairly delicious but I would say it's a acquired taste. Definitely a try it once type of bread and have a verdict afterwards.

My partner and ordered a couple of the breads to try which include the signature pineapple breads, matcha, sausages, and some sweeter bread as well. All were pretty soft, fresh, and cheaper compared to other bakeries. We also ordered two drinks, the Orchid Milk Tea & the Light Oolong Milk Tea.
Both were pretty refreshing but nothing over the top as it's cheaper than the usual shops.

Overall, a nice spacious bakery/cafe combo that's good for doing some work, a small bite, or drinks for affordable price. They also have cakes so that's definitely an option whenever I have a birthday to consider.“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“BOG, Wa Sai Watermelon, Strawberry Basil Ginger Lemonade!“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“yum yum entree, naan, rice, and everything“

“The front desk experience has been consistently frustrating.
The young lady there appears inattentive and unsure of the process. Even after joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, we're left standing without explanation for 5-10 minutes each visit until another staff member takes over and seats us.
The lack of coordination at the entrance gives the impression that no one is actually managing the line properly.
Fortunately, the rest of the staff are warm and professional, and the hot pot options are solid.“

“Went in to get some bread baguette's & bolio for my mom I ended up trying there egg rolls & they had a pork belly spring roll it was so Delicious I had the banh mi pork belly sandwich to die for the bread was just made hot from the oven everything was fresh excellent.“

“My friend and I had a delicious lunch at Hui Tou Xiang! The leek pancakes and dumplings are all handmade in-house as well as the noodles. We’ll be going back.“

“The broken rice here is certainly good. They have the KING com tam dish for $20.99. It’s a giant plate of broken rice with a variety of meats and some veggies. This is the dish to try when you are here.

Skip the bun bo hue. Unfortunately the noodles were stuck together and the meat was overcooked. I did try the cha gio appetizer $11.99 (egg rolls), and it was really good!

The server mistook me ordering “106” for “number 6”, so when the appetizer came out, I was confused what happened to the noodles. I think there is a major language barrier here because we had to repeat ourselves 2-3 times, like asking for water or a Togo box, etc.

Free street parking or park in the Super Hawaii market parking lot. Bathroom available. Credit card is accepted. No WiFi.

*starting October 1, 2026, tax increased to 11%“

“Great food and service. We do appreciate the gentleman’s service and his decent recommendation. However, it would be great if we know in advance from somewhere (menu or elsewhere) that they charge a mandatory 18% of service fee if it’s more than party of 5 (including baby). It’s worth the money (because of the service) but it would be great if we know it in advance.“

“This is a bakery with a small parking lot at the back. The shop itself is small, but it offers a wide variety of cakes, though the birthday cakes are quite expensive. There is a large selection of Western-style pastries, as well as some Chinese and Japanese options.“

“Beautiful restaurant with an elegant atmosphere, spacious round tables, and lovely cherry blossom decor. We tried the $158 lunch set, which included a whole roast duck, garlic beef, shrimp paste, fish, and dessert. Great variety and presentation, and a nice option for family gatherings or group dining!“

“First time trying Com Tam Kieu and I had dish #37. Man, this was GOOD! 🤤🔥 Everything on the plate was delicious, flavorful, and cooked just right. The broken rice was perfect, and having all the different meats and sides together made every bite delicious 🤤“

“I love the two Summer Rolls locations in Temple City already and this one adds another dimension to their restaurants. The first one is traditional, well the second one has a bar and a cool vibe, and this one feels a little bit more elevated. Service was good, food was excellent as usual, but it isn't a busy plaza we're parking can be a little bit of a challenge. I think the location is also good simply because it's near the mission district area. I have met the owners and they are very hard-working people and I really do enjoy talking to you the owner that heads up the Rosemead location who strives to remember your name and always greets people enthusiastically.“

“Red Chicken Thai is a small corner Thai food spot in San Gabriel Valley. They have a breadth of food and drink items. Its interior was modest with little to no aesthetic decor.

However, the atmosphere was relaxing for customers. Their dining area have 8 tables that can accommodate thirty people. It was my first time visit and I had a default Pad Woon Sen x Iced Lemon tea. Both are good in taste, flavor and portion. Service was spot on as well as the price (affordable). Staff was competent and attentive. Plenty of street and rear parking. Collectively, this is a good Thai spot.

Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their food.“

“Great mom & pop Thai spot! We used to love President Thai, but it's better for big groups, not so good for small family meals. This is solid standard neighborhood Thai restaurant. Very understated, interior is run down, service can be slow when busy because it's family owned, not too many folks working or helping out. But the food is amazing, above par. Definitely want to support this place because President Thai and Banana Bay were not cutting it.“

“Thanks to the owner to joined the San Gabriel Passport Book & Food's program so we get to try new foods and we also order the chicken plate 🍽 it was good. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍“

“Great food. Great staff. Huge portions. Open late nights til 2am takeout only, walk up ordering is fine. Great for a quick fix after a night out

Got the popcorn chicken, mozz sticks, and yogurt slush. Tbh popcorn chicken is slightly tough and bland. Slush is a lil watery. Overall though can’t complain at this time of night and these portion sizes!!“

“Old people are funny, when they want pizza from petrillo’s, you get them pizza from petrillo’s. But specifically, the small special. My aunt only wants the small special. Apparently it’s the best size for about four people. Also, they load up the toppings. There’s sausage, veggies, pep, and ham maybe and it’s all just piled on. No skimping on toppings there. This is a picture of the medium which is cut into squares. The small is the normal triangle cuts. I got her order wrong so next time get the small special. The wings were ok.“

“garlic bread was amazing! took it to next level w creme cheese“

“Was recommended garlic flavored soup with sliced beef. Flat rice noodles was right texture. Beef slices lightly blanched. Meal was accompanied with freshly deep fried spring rolls Thoroughly enjoy it Ample free parking easy to locate“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“Delicious and excellent price compare other bakey in the area.“

“Hidden hot pot gem – $33.88 AYCE and actually good

This place has been around for over a decade, right by the TAWA plaza.

We got there right when they opened in the afternoon, and the place filled up almost instantly. Most people seemed like regulars.

$33.88 gets you AYCE hot pot + a buffet station + sauces. Same price on weekends, and they don't charge extra for broth. The soup base is surprisingly good – has that nourishing, slightly herbal vibe. Reminded me of the old Little Sheep.

Plenty of options. Lamb and beef are a must – fresh. The pork intestine gets super soft and sticky after a quick boil – I wanted a second plate. The buffet had sesame balls, spring rolls, piggy buns, fries, edamame… the cha siu bao actually tasted like dim sum from a cart.

We also ordered scallion pancake on the side – super crispy. Almost asked for another one to take home.

Service speed is probably the fastest I've seen for AYCE. Food comes quick. Open till midnight – great for late-night cravings. And if you're staying at the Hilton? Literally across the street.“

“Saigon Eden of SGV is a midsize Vietnamese restaurant located in a small plaza on Las Tunas ave in San Gabriel. They have a plethora of Pho, vermicelli, rice, appetizers and drinks.

I was craving for healthy supper Pho Veggies or Vermicelli Grilled Chicken. I end up with Pho Veggies-large. And it was delightful and warm. Staff were cordial and professional. Prices are reasonable. Parking was easy. Atmosphere was okay. Overall, I was satisfied with their Pho and service.“

“Our family loves to eat Korean foods. This place is a good one because you have many choices to choose from. The portion is pretty big so you can share it. Good service, very clean and most of all the foods are delicious. I highly recommend it.“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“The best bakery in Los Angeles CA 😉 delicious 😋“

“Overall, all of the food we ordered tasted authentic, just like what I’ve had in Taiwan. The oyster pancake was particularly fresh, and none of the dishes felt overly greasy.

I also really appreciated the convenience of ordering. Scanning the QR code at the table made ordering quick, and paying before receiving the meal made the process very smooth. Additionally, the parking lot was well-maintained and easy to park in.“

“Had dinner here on 9/24/26. The duck was delicious, as it always is. Also had a cod and tofu dish that was amazing. But I'm really writing this review for our server. She was the entire front of house, from serving tables to taking/packing to go orders to bussing her own tables. At the end of our meal she had 6 tables, including two parties of about 8 people (I didn't count.) She HUSTLED. Was service perfect, nope. Was she always smiling and happy, of course not. But she never gave up and she RAN from one task to the next. I hope the owners read this and appreciate what an amazing employee she is. Also a shout out to most of the other patrons who understood the situation and were patient. Big boo to the passive aggressive patrons who were the opposite.“

“My friends and I came here after their bowling league game, by the time the game ended, it was already passed 10:00 p.m., and there isn’t too many places that stay open past 10:00 p.m., in the SGV area, but this one opens late. It was my first time here and I may be the only person in the group who have not eaten here.

We were seated in a private room for our group. The staffs were attentive and accommodating. The place was a bit small, but the food is good. We ordered a few dishes to share—family style—so we get to try every dishes. We also ordered a soup, since I wanted soup, that came in a large bowl and we served them into individual smaller bowls, which was just enough for all of us.

The food and drinks were Hong Kong cafe style, the portions were generous. I didn’t try everything we ordered since they were a bit salty for my liking. But overall, the food and service was good. It’s a nice spot to satisfy those who get late night cravings, and wanted some H.K. style comfort food. :)“

“I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews. This is a Subway, and if you want a quick, cheap sandwich you should stop by.

I've never had to wait too long for my sandwiches. I haven't tried everything, but my favorites are the ones made with rotisserie chicken and Italian cold cut meats.

Their chocolate chip cookies hit the spot.

The only drawback: parking isn't easy here. It's located in a plaza, so lots of traffic. Sometimes you won't get parking space easily.

Also, they seem to keep raising their prices.

I'll be back whenever I get a Subway craving!“

“咖哩牛腩飯 黑椒牛柳炒烏冬 雲吞麵 港式雞絲碗仔翅 火腿雞絲通粉 豬扒 ，等…….等 講之不盡👍👍👍👍“

“The staff are friendly and the food is good and there are large amounts of food on each plate but you can take home the unfinished food and it has bathroom for handicapped people on the street level it has the elevator to go up the second level the restaurant has couple wall size screen to watch sports program but I can’t hear the tv sound but it’s sports I really don’t need to hear I can see what happens“

“My plant friends shared a birthday lunch here at Young Dong Tofu. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great lots of parking. We will come back again. We highly recommend this place.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at TSUKE in San Gabriel! We ordered both ramen and tsukemen, plus a few sides to share. The thick-cut chashu and soft-boiled eggs were the highlights for me. We also got the chashu rice bowl and karaage, so we ended up with quite a spread. A nice spot when you’re craving noodles!“

“Came here with a group of five for dinner on a Saturday evening, and the timing worked out. There was no wait so we were able to settle in and enjoy a proper family-style feast pretty quick.

We ordered several of their popular dishes, including the lobster with noodles, basil clams, and plenty more. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and made for a family style meal. The lobster and noodles were definitely worth getting a little shellfish over. Also, highly recommend the fermented greens. Simple, savory, and surprisingly addictive.

Great food, good portions, and an enjoyable dinner all around.“

“Nostalgia, haven't been here for so long! Just as I used to remember it! The staff is super nice, the place is clean, and they have all the food we used to order.

We always get their 3 cup chicken , bamboo and spicy pork! The highlight is eating the porridge with the Yam inside!

Happy to return and will be back soon!“

“I like human chilli king restaurant. The real Hunan spicy dishes. I will go again again again…….“

“Popular hkg cafe spot for bfast/brunch/lunch and pretty much open every single day, not sure why they even have a lock on the door. Big nice lunch portions, fast no nonsense service exactly how you would expect from a hkg cafe. It's not good unless they serve you with a side of disdain, and they definitely disdain here.“
