50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Gabriel

“Yama Sushi Market Place has many locations in LA, tried all different locations, love them all. I usually do not give five stars for rating, but for this one, they deserve the 5 star. The fish is extremely fresh with reasonable price. It will cost three or four times more if you order the exact same varieties of fish from restaurants . They also have a very good variety of sake to select from. The Otoro, the fatty tuna melts in your mouth. Hamachi was extremely fresh. Salmon was exceptional. California roll was so yummy with soft rice. Definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hands down BEST dim sum I've had in a long time.
The host is amazing, with incredible customer service.
The house Chili-Garlic sauce, is to die for, I wish I could take some with me.
The Har Gao is EXCEPTIONAL, the amount of shrimp packed in there is unbelievable. The wrapper is the best I've had, it just melts in your mouth
The pan fried Chive cakes, loved the texture
Chicken Feet...yumm, just try it, you won't be disappointed 😋
The steamed fermented rice sponge cake was very interesting.
This is definitely on my list when I come back to LA.“

“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!“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

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

“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!“

“Overall I love authentic Taiwanese food and it has been harder to find even in SoCal these days, I guess business is hard and competitive.

I got bunch of dishes and they were all delicious and authentic. Prices definitely went up since pre covid days just like everything…sad. I would highly recommend this spot and wish they can get more dishes. They are basically full during a Thursday lunch time.
One thing pissed me of course is they no longer serve stinky tofu because neighbors’ complaints to the city. Come on man 2026 already, stinky tofu is authentic dish from Taiwan. I don’t see ppl banning stinky blue cheese or anything else in this country. Rant is over.

Go try this place.“

“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!“

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

“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". :-)“

“Late-night hot pot + BBQ buffet with solid seafood

Went for the hot pot & BBQ buffet combo. You can pick one broth or go with a double/triple split. Lots of options on the buffet line.

A few standouts:
- Argentine red shrimp – plump, firm, with a nice snap
- Frog legs – surprisingly huge
- Oysters – fat and briny
- Grilled eggplant – soft and fully soaked in garlic sauce; every bite was pure flavor
- Grilled shrimp and grilled chicken skin– also really good

The sauce station was clean, and sodas are self-serve. They're open until 1 or 2 AM – perfect for late-night cravings.“

“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.“

“Great service! Go Dodgers 🧢⚾️“

“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%“

“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.“

“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.“

“wish that they would come to Kentucky“

“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.“

“Outstanding. Best pho I have had in a while. Place was packed at 2pm on a Sunday with groups of all sizes (packed in a good way). I was shocked by how generous they were with the meat considering how reasonably priced it was. Looking forward to going back.

Service was excellent too: friendly and efficient.“

“Really nice environment… staff is really respectful and always on top of things… food is really good.. I’ve never had a bad experience here.. I highly recommend“

“I’ve been going here for 10 years. They are a small business and they nice. They always do a beautiful job with the cakes. Here is the most recent one I got. The cake flavor is also very good. I got half chocolate with banana and half vanilla with strawberries“

“Array 36 is a solid choice for high end Chinese food in Los Angeles. While most of the dishes are Shanghainese, there are many good choices from other cuisines, including Peking duck. The ambience is modern, with dark lighting, so definitely not what you typically find in your Chinese restaurant in the US.We like it particularly for hosting guests, Chinese and non-Chinese alike.“

“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 🤤“

“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.“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“服務好 ，， 價格便宜 ，， 但有些不新鮮了喔！“

“One of my favorite go to for a quick breakfast. The people are nice. The food is great. A lot of Oaxacan options too. They are willing to make me breakfast tacos when I am craving them. Their breakfast burrito is delicious. And that red salsa is the one to go for.“

“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.“

“Absolutely phenomenal ! And the food is absolutely delicious I couldn't believe I spent under $20 for such a wonderful design of takeout box it was beyond expectation like seriously, the only problem is probably the portion is not as much as I want . But overall it is worth it ! I would definitely coming back soon“

“I wanted to thank George, the owner, for always being super friendly and attentive every time I come in. The food is amazing, healthy, and always fresh. I eat here probably twice a week, and my go-to is the beef and chicken combo! It’s high in protein and great tasting. Definitely one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.“

“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.“

“Place is awesome!! Our waiter Peter gave us some great recommendations, made us feel really welcomed and remembered us on our second visit a month later. Great neighborhood “goto” place a good meal and drinks!!“

“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.“

“So my first ever tasted experience of chicken feet was at this place. And I truly am spoiled after this. They debone the chicken feet so it’s all beautiful cartilage and connecting tissues, which is super important if you’re trying to rebuild cartilage in your joints, the collagen and chicken feed is also very good for your skin and helps you stay looking younger. I got the spicy onion sauce and it was absolutely delicious. A week or two after this I tried chicken feet for the second time and it had bones in it and it was gross. It was like eating a baby’s hand. No one was spoiled that I can never have chicken feet with bones in it. I must have chicken feet that are deboned. They also offer other items such as lotus root, sliced pig, ear, and other things you would expect at a true/authentic Chinese take out. If you’ve ever had chicken feet, I would definitely suggest you start with Debo chicken feet from Tao’s kitchen“

“Love the food, variety and service. Thank you Yesica“

“😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁“

“Delicious! My friend took me here and I had to come back. They have delicious pho and bun bo hue. Their menu is simple and easy to read. Delicious and filling. The service is quality and caring. There is plenty of parking and bathroom available.“

“Popped in because its always time for meat. Loved tge atmosphere, and the language lessons in the bathroom. The food was great. The only downside was lack of my favorite banchan and the high prices of solutions. I'll be back.

With my own bottles. ;)“

“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.“

“My manager at Kingston Realty brought some pastries and sandwiches in for a power meeting. Omg soo delicious! I can’t wait to try everything else they make.“

“One of the best bakeries in Alhambra. So fluffy and not too sweet. Buy 5 get 1 free. The choco bread and taro bread are amazing. Theres always discounts on day old bread and pastries. The spongecake tastes like a cloud! Please come here lots to support this local shop!“

“Southern California is serious about it's food and Almuchow meets all the taste buds expectations!

Fantastic food spread from Crispy Pata to the kind of Sinigang you can only get back in the Philippines. We had bangus, chicken inisal, lechon kawale, ensalada talong, and pancit too! Their lumpia is crispy and every bite is full of yummy meat and veggies! Pancit, full of flavor. Lechon Kawali, beautifully seared and juicy.

Make Almuchow your next afternoon family destination. Everything here is very tasty, masarap! It's worth the trip!“

“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.“

“Pizza was Good, Need to Remove the GRAFFITI from Restroom, 'Trash Can & Paper Holder...Easy FIX, yet they don't remove the GRAFFITI / Tagging in their Restroom ...Will be back and see if they fix & Clean that up for their Customers..“
