50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Had a great experience at Mikiya! The food was delicious, especially the Wagyu and shabu-shabu. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was really nice.

Special thanks to Thura, our server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service overall, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++“

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“Made a 5:00 reservation and our party was seated right away. EVERYONE was EXTREMELY friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. We were impressed from start to finish. This place is a total vibe and the decor is so beautiful. How did I not know about this place sooner? The appetizers calamari and corn were remarkable, and souffle pancake was so tasty. Chefs kiss for the Prime Rib it was so tender and juicy. We recommend the grape Suja. Looking forward to coming back for brunch soon! Thank you Giwa for such wonderful service.“

“This Cafe is absolutely amazing! Kenny is just so happy to have anyone here! He takes pictures of every customer, he is kind and the food is delicious and filling. We just happened upon it, and we are so happy we did! Thank you Kenny! 😁😁😁😁❤️🤍💙“

“I recommend them for their hospitality, great food and service. Quick to serve!“

“Puranpoli is an incredible gem that brings authentic Indian flavors to life! The puran poli is simply outstanding—soft, deliciously sweet, and perfectly spiced. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a great setting for enjoying traditional dishes. The menu offers a wonderful array of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Every visit feels like a special occasion, and I can't recommend this place highly enough for those looking to indulge in genuine Indian cuisine!“

“Me and my family ended up choosing this place due to its close proximity. The guy who took our order was humbled and nice.

The pizza itself has a nice and flavorful pizza sauce which is sweet, the crust also has a nice crunch to it. The veggies were also delightful.“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“Very much comfort food! I ordered the yellow braised chicken (bone-in) for lunch. It came with a bowl of rice. The chicken is very tender, and the bones were mostly easy to remove. I would love to try the spicy version next time since the fruit peppers weren’t spicy at all. I also loved the mushroom in the pot. Would love to come here again!“

“Creatively ambitious and high level cuisine, using Korean flavors and spices to add interest and individuality to California ingredients. Example: wagyu tartare with uni aioli, among other things, that was rich and fresh and unexpected, all at the same time. Clever attention to textures and variety of textures within each course. A reasonably priced tasting menu or, at four courses, you could call it a prix fixe. Limited but good wine selection, seemingly carefully curated. Very cool ambiance inside and friendly, graceful service.“

“Taichi Pot Shabu Shabu offers an exceptional dining experience! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, with fresh vegetables and premium meats that cook perfectly in the flavorful broth. The interactive dining style is not only fun but also allows for personalized meal creation. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether you're a shabu-shabu veteran or a first-timer, Taichi Pot is a must-visit.“

“Both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian food was delicious. Amit, our server, was probably the most friendly and courteous server I've ever had in my life. He brought us a complementary drink and also a dessert at the end!

Also shout out to Happy, the Chef, for making sure the Spice level was exactly what we asked for, and everything was tasty!“

“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰“

“Amazing pizza, nice people, and cool atmosphere. This is the best place in the area for pizza. My only ask would be to have a better local beer selection. We have great breweries around here, and it would be awesome to have a better selection.“

“Nice friendly staff, clean restaurant we go there every Monday or Tuesday“

“The chicken salads here are huge, with a surprisingly generous portion of meat. I've eaten a lot of chicken salads at other counter service places in the area, and The Stand puts them all to shame. The dressing seemed like it was made fresh, not from a bottle. Will come back to try something else.“

“Solid music and solid service! Haesoo and hayoung were so very sweet and very kind! They gave us great service and great food (fries!). Reach out to them for the best service! They gave us a good farewell🤩. We’d definitely come back here again!“

“Excellent Mongolian BBQ place where we can adjust the sauces and make it as hot as we want. Sauces came with instructions so I didn't need to guess. Good food and vegetable selections and the ice-cream that came with the package is good! Highly recommend this place!!! Clean, family friendly environment. The owners and staff are all very nice.“

“Great ramen and reasonable“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Great food. So yummy. Fresh food“

“Absolutely the BEST food and service at Eurogrill! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure everything is perfect. The food is outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real Balkan tradition. The Ćevapi (house specialty) are simply the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You can truly taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. If you’re looking for amazing Balkan food and top-notch service, Eurogrill is the place to go. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back again and again. 👏🔥 Ketering was perfectly arranged!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Nick the Greek! Special mention to Miguel and Steven who took care of us during dinner provided phenomenal customer service. They were both friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel valued from the moment we walked in. It’s rare to come across service that leaves such a lasting impression. Thank you both for your hospitality, you made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

“This place is a wonderful place to enjoy a super delicious meal. Our waitress San was a joyful, energetic person.“

“I loved this when this place was at its peak. It's still good, but it used to be great.

We usually get the three fish, this is one of the the only places with the yam noodles, and they are pretty generous with their portions.“

“My new favorite go to lunch spot! The food is delicious. Last three times I’ve been there this month Shyla has been my server, she is such a ray of sunshine! I’m spoiled now her section is the only place I’ll sit 😀.“

“Love, Love, Love this place! Lee's is authentic Chinese food. They've been in business for over 30 years and there's a reason for it. Delicious food, wonderful people that treat you like family. I love the walnut shrimp, pork chow mein, Mongolian beef, black mushroom chicken, and won ton soup. Hole in the wall, delicious food!! You've got to try it!“

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

“update July 2026 : they have maintained the same quality of food over the years which is no easy feat. We love getting food picked up from their new retail location. But the website ordering can be simplified. The timings when they are open is also a bit confusing and it seems like it changes often. I was planning on picking up meals there in the evenings and I try to pick up a bit early before the evening 5 pm snacks rush begins. But it looks like the timings are changed again. The website says Not accepting Orders but the UberEats app shows it's available.
They have the delicious food and quality part down but the long wait times for food pickup/ eating-in, the changes in timings and all of that needs to be ironed out.

Older review: Delicious, hygienic food packed in compostable containers. I have tried their order-ahead and pick up option and the food quality has been consistently delicious. The food is not overly indulgent, making for a guilt-free eating out experience. Since the menu is small and made-to-order, it is all freshly made. You cannot have this in a restaurant set-up where most of the food is partially pre-made. Hope they continue making good quality food and serve retail customers.“

“We got the arabi style chicken wrap with fries, 10 falafel, and the rice pudding with pistachios. The food was super warm, we really loved how crispy the wrap was and how being cut up was easy to share - plenty of food for the two of us to share.“

“Perfect for watch parties.“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Excellent food and exceptional service! Hwan (Hope I got his name right) provided attentive, customer-oriented service and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The King's Menu is a must-try—an incredible culinary experience from start to finish!“

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.“

“Great food, nice outdoor seating and good people, they serve you with a smile.. i like that.. 👍👍“

“hot and fresh the way I like my food“

“Friendly. Excellent customer service!“

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket“

“Mio Vicino is a Santa Clara institution. Consistently great food. Friendly atmosphere. It’s a Perry family go to place for sure! 😎👍🏼“

“One of the best RAMEN 🍜 I have ever taste and highly recommended.“

“Our first time here and everything was delicious! We had the garlic edamame, salmon express and the spicy tails rolls and the salmon with lemon dill nigiri. So good!“

“Reasonably priced, delicious, friendly, very positive all the way around. Would like to go back ��“

“Been coming here since grad school in the early 2000s. Still good food after all these years. The nice owners work so hard to make delicious food. Too bad they no longer serve beer. Owner says SCU students got too rowdy with alcohol and causing trouble, so it’s not worth it to serve alcohol anymore. Thank the kids for ruining it for everyone.“

“I love the omelet rice and siu-mai :) The space inside isn't huge but I think that adds to the homey vibes 🤗 I think all portions are generous - enough to take home leftovers. She even takes it to the back and puts them in boxes for you which I appreciate. I always leave very full and happy haha, and it's nice to see the owners' kind faces every time I come back!“

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Jose they have the best Mongolian beef in the Bay Area there chicken chow main is yummy and their lunch specials are great it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.“

“Pro: Food was actually very good! my mother in law, husband, kids, father in law all love it!
if you can eat spicy, I recommend the spicy seafood jiang jiang noodle.
Con: Music was very very loud, not suitable for kids or babies.“
