50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

“This place is AMAZING! It’s completely unassuming from the exterior; but the food and the service was way beyond my expectations! I truly wish there was a French restaurant like this in San Diego; I’d eat there at least once a week!!!“

“Always a hit for a group meal, date night, catch up with a friend. I've had at least 3 birthday meals (brunch/dinner) between this location and West Hollywood. The flavors/execution of the food is truly top notch, and the decor and ambience is always so cute, warm, and comforting.“

“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏“

“Super delicious!! Friendly service!! Reasonable prices and cozy, trendy atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite comfort food spot ?Great spot for a get together with friends, family, or even a date!We had the Roti & Curry starter and Pineapple Fried Rice. The curry dip was hearty and creamy and paired perfectly with the crunchy roti. The fried rice was the perfect balance of fresh produce and indulgent fried goodness. It's the kind of amazing dish that leaves you feeling satiated but not bloated! All of my compliments to the chef.

Vegetarian options: Everything was Vegan

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, dishes containing nuts clearly labeled“

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Edit.. ok thank you so much! We really love this place and I know those picky kids will love it too once they eat some yummy food. OK, I love this place. But there really isn’t many options for kids. We went there when it opened one afternoon and they were all out of fried chicken. So my kids really didn’t eat anything. I think if you add like a hotdog or mac & cheese to the menu that would be so fitting and helpful!“

“Deliciously healthy salads and smoothies that now come with zero waste options too!“

“NYC cheese slices are my jam, and we have an embarrassment of riches in Sherman Oaks. Within a mile of each other, there are three, count 'em three, authentic NY slice shops. My son and I visited all three of them on a self-guided cheese slice tour of Sherman Oaks. Pizza Wagon was stop three on the tour!

The atmosphere is good...NY decor on the walls in what feels like a truly neighborhood / not-chain space. The service was great too...the staff worked quickly and were abundantly friendly and helpful.

They do a good job with authentic style slices...the right amount of crisp on the crust and a good ratio of sauce versus cheese. The chew was good, though both the crust and sauce don't quite have the superior flavor profile of the nearby places.

It's definitely a good alternative to those, though, and miles ahead of the major chain pizzas in terms of NY style.“

“I asked my husband to find a cute + cozy Italian restaurant for Friday night dinner date, and we found what we wanted and more! Low lighting, but not so low you can’t read the menu. Quiet enough to hear conversation, but not awkward-quiet. And the service was top notch, nothing about the spot was pretentious, and the food was tasty. The owner (or maybe maître d’?) Vasak was so sweet and greeted us with a huge smile. He had us come to the back to taste all of the wines because I didn’t know which one I wanted, and he brought tiramisu on the house at the end of our meal. The whole staff was friendly and fast, and they all seemed to know the guests who walked in—big smiles, hugs, handshakes, “see-you-in-a-couple-weeks”. We got bow tie pasta with pink sauce and their house made gnocchi with pesto cream sauce; perfectly al dente and perfectly salted. I’m going to bring all of my friends!“

“First time eating Indian food. The meal was excellent! The service was excellent! We will be going back.“

“Absolutely delicious Portuguese food!“

“Me & my husband go here regularly. Amazing staff, food is ace! real taste of home. We often go with our family and every time- food,drinks & staff have been spot on. The Tuck shop next door 🚪 OMG do not get me started we easily spend a small fortune each time. Because we know we can stock up & the price is reasonable. we actively choose to drive their rather than go online because it's about supporting other businesses & expats. This pub truly has an English atmosphere. Reminds me home UK & Ireland. THEY GOT CRACKERS IN! birds custard, every sweet you could want. if you are British & you are in LA. if you ent been here...are you even britsh?“

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back“

“Basic diner ambience, the food is always good. I’m a picky eater wanting crispy home fries and crispy bacon and 9out of 10 they deliver exactly as ordered. Good service and it has an overall good vibe“

“Lovely food, charming interior. We had carpaccio, lobster bisque, crispy duck, and potato crusted salmon. The dishes were all prepared very well. The fresh bread was quite good, served with harissa, etc. We very much enjoyed the nut tart served with vanilla sauce and very nice hazelnut gelato. Can’t wait to go again.“

“Great food, always something new and delicious!!“

“Excellent Lebanese restaurant! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Lebanese cuisine!“

“Had three different tacos Brisket was awesome Other two very good But brisket!!!“

“I’d say even though waiting time was quite long (but to be fair, the place was really busy), I can get over that because the staff were super friendly. The portion wasn’t huge, but that’s actually a good thing . I’m not fan of wasting food, and since it’s not oversized, you can actually finish your plate. Plus, the price is really good, one of less locations where you get a real dish im mean not fastfood for these price 👍🏽“

“My family and I love eating here! The food is always fresh, delicious, and packed with protein while being low in calories, perfect for healthy eating. The team members are always so friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is consistently clean and well-organized. We love taking advantage of the kids-eat-free promotion, but even without it, we find ourselves coming here at least once or twice a week. Highly recommend“

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!“

“My first time coming to this legendary location and I was not disappointed. We had the lunch specials and all meals were amazing! The service was top notch and the atmosphere was great! It will not be the last time coming here. Highly recommend to those looking for some great food!“

“Absolutely AMAZING 🤩 🤩🤩 Just WOW 🙌🙌🙌 Must Try 💯💯💯 Will be back 😋😋😋 5 STARS all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve always loved coming here for their teriyaki chicken bowls, but now they’ve also won me over with their new Okinawa Matcha Cloud drinks!

The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently fresh. Highly recommend this spot!! Best matcha I’ve ever had!!“

“My husband and I just recently discovered this Gem about little over a month ago . We’ve already been here twice and Oh my goodness this place is amazing!!!!!!! First and foremost, the customer service is top tier!!!! Mike is absolutely amazing , he’s very attentive and has such a beautiful soul . ☺️ as for the food , it is absolutely delicious!!!!!!!! The pizza is soooo good the first time we went I had the Margherita pizza thin crust, the second time I went I had a classic pepperoni thin crust , both times were delicious. Add the hot honey and oh ny goodness ….. it makes it even better!! We also had the buffalo wings , and garlic fries . Everything tasted amazing! We will be stopping by here often.“

“Fresh fish and seafood, the restaurant is run by the owner. I've ordered many things on the menu, and nothing has ever disappointed me. From miso soup to chicken teriyaki plate, to skewers and appetizers - everything is delicious! They also have draft Sapporo and White Yuzu. With all that, the prices are very reasonable. My favorite mid-budget sushi place on Ventura blvd.“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“This place is absolutely amazing! I rarely write reviews, but I had to make an exception for this one. My son and I absolutely loved it here. Everything was perfect—the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience! The complimentary cucumber salad and miso soup were such a delightful touch. This is officially my go-to sushi spot from now on. Highly recommend it to everyone!“

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“Great food! Friendly staff and quick service. Casual atmosphere.“

“The best of the best Israeli/Mediterranean kosher food home made and you can taste the diffrence! I cant praise them enough. Try and you won't be disappointed! Amazing!!!“

“I've been to a few burger lounges around LA now and it's always been really solid. Id say it falls into a category a cut above In-N-Out with a wider variety of flavors and a step down in price from the (inferior) five guys.

I usually order the lounge burger as is, but sometimes the western style or blue cheese burger. The meat to topping ratio is good and the buns are squishy but firm. Their barbecue sauce is something special with a heavy smoky chipotle/hickory flavor. Their fries are fine, hot and crispy, and the batch sodas are another less common touch (great ginger beer and Shirley temple).

The manager at this location seemed very involved and attentive to making things move smoothly and provide a good experience (Dec. 7th ~6:00p). Nice guy.

There's probably a burger lounge near you and they're probably not going to let you down in flavor and price.“

“Always great food, fresh and delicious!“

“I love Kinza. It’s a cute but no pretension type of sushi spot! Their rolls come with 10 pieces (not 8) AND you can order half size rolls even for their specialty rolls which is INCREDIBLE. Very fresh, flavorful, lots of good combos, and service is excellent.

If you can’t find parking on the street, park in the alley behind the restaurant!“

“I ate here before with my family a few months ago and we enjoyed the meal. I forgot about it, until my husband and I were looking for a different Italian restaurant than the usual ones we go to. I remembered Olivia, so we went on a Saturday night where it was considerably more energetic than before. Everyone was welcoming and we were lucky we made a reservation. The arancini was soooo good. It's very hard to find the quality that we experienced in Italy, but Oliva came very close. The Pasta Norma was delicious. The seafood pasta was also very good. The portions were plentiful and service was on point. This is such a warm and welcoming restaurant. I recommend it and can't wait to return.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“Great food with good experiance“

“I’m a shawarma expert—I’ve eaten it almost everywhere in the world, including London and Germany—and nothing compares to this shawarma. There’s a place in the Middle East famous for excellent shawarma that Arabs travel from all over to visit, and this one beats it. I’m shocked at how good it is. You simply can’t visit Los Angeles without trying it (and yes, I’ve already tried three other shawarma places here—there’s no comparison).“

“11/13/25
My name is Jon and today was my first time visiting Lemonzest. Mediterranean food is my favorite and I am extremely happy that I accidentally found this location while walking by it. I was immediately greeted by the two team members who both had amazing energy that made me feel welcomed!! The music and atmosphere was perfect for anyone to relax while simply enjoying lunch or dinner. Of course, the food... mmm mmm! I am in love with how delicious the food was. The rice was light and flavorful, the chicken was very tender, and the salad was perfectly fresh. For sure Lemonzest will be my first choice when I am too lazy to cook at home.
To the team members, thank you! I will be back soon.
Jon.“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“The BEST in Sherman Oaks..Great Owner ..Mr..Wilson. .... Breakfast and Lunch ..Stars 🤩 Come And Go . He's Been There for Decades...👍🏽❤️🙏🏽“

“Always a fun time with my family whenever we go to Kura.“

“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!“

“Delicious diner food, working table juke boxes and cool decor!“

“One of our favorite Italian spots in the Valley. Great food, wonderful service, comfortable spot. Just a great time overall. Our favorite dishes include the capellini with vegetables, the lamb chops... and of course, the beautiful desserts. Last night we enjoyed a wonderfully light tiramisu. A good time was had by all.“

“Vegetarian options: Their guac is vegan friendly

Parking: After I think 11ish the $20 valet parking lot is free. If you're going early park at the ralphs down the street and walk to the bar.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar 21+ they ID as soon as you walk in.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think I saw any stairs to the entrance. But the set up inside is fairly crowded and dark idk how accessible that is unless you're a paraolympian with nightvision“
