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!!!“

“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.“

“This is the first time I have ever been to one of the Bacari locations. This one, in Sherman Oaks, is excellent. My daughter, Lauren, picked this restaurant. I was surprised, because Lauren usually picks out more expensive restaurants.

Bacari is a tapas type restaurant. The prices are reasonable because the portions, and the plates, are small. They recommended ordering three plates per person.

We ordered one plate for each of us and a Margarita pizza to share. The pizza was excellent. I had the Bacari burger. It was amazing. My wife had sea bass, and our daughter had a filet. We all enjoyed our meals.

Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. In this restaurant, they bring out each plate as it's ready. That encourages people to share and socialize.

The restaurant was quite noisy inside. They have a nice little courtyard with outdoor seating. It was slightly less noisy in the outdoor courtyard.

For people who want to lose weight and still have delicious meals, I recommend Bacari Sherman Oaks.“

“Little Izaka-ya is my go-to neighborhood sushi spot, and it never disappoints! The servers always remember me, which adds such a nice, welcoming touch to every visit. It feels like a place I can count on for a great time and delicious food every single time. The sushi rolls are consistently fresh and full of flavor, but my personal favorite is the white fish roll—YUM! It’s always a treat. I also love how easy it is to make a reservation, making dining here super convenient. Whether it’s for a casual night out or a special dinner, Little Izaka-ya always delivers. Highly recommend!“

“Love the atmosphere of this comfortably casual bar. Ample outdoor seating provides the perfect spot to sip a beer or two relaxing in the sunshine. I don’t eat meat so I haven’t tried the burgers, which come highly recommended. The garlic parmesan fries are excellent and enough for 3 people. Sorry I can’t say the same for the cauliflower wings or pretzels with cheese sauce. But I had the best-poured beer of my life—a fresh Scrimshaw pilsner in a sparkling-clean glass. See attached video. Despite the venue’s name, they now offer cocktails as well as beer and wine.“

“I came in on 05/10/2025 around 5pm.

Food: Tried their Tsukemen for the first time. It was served with two tender slices of pork and marinated egg. The broth was thick and salty, pairs so well with the jumbo ramen noodles.
They have a new Fried Calamari appetizer on the menu, it comes with I believe a sriracha mayo dip. The batter was well seasoned and the calamari itself is not rubbery. The batter got burned a bit, but I do not mind at all.

Service: It was perfect. The staff were attentive.

Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. Gives off a typical Ramen Restaurant vibe. It has counter seating.

Overall the food tasted great. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I don't go to Tsujita anymore for Tsukemen. Kai Ramen all the way.“

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

“Our server, Ben, was great! I brought my parents in while they were visiting and they got a kick out of the names on all the booths. They really enjoyed the food as well. My parents aren't big cilantro people, but everything we had, they loved!“

“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“

“Absolutely delicious Portuguese food!“

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

“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?“

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

“First time here and we loved it. The throwback steakhouse vibe stays close to its roots and provides a really nice atmosphere. We were looking to go casual and had the Wagyu burger and it was phenomenal. Mix in great cocktails, friendly and efficient service and a strong dessert menu and this gets an easy 5 starts. As a staple in the valley for over 75 years, it shows they’re obviously doing a lot of things right. If you’re anywhere near The Valley Inn, do yourself a favor and get in there ASAP!“

“Was craving Chicago deep dish pizza and found Gino’s! Best Chicago deep dish pizza in LA - the food was tasty and the staff is very friendly/knowledgable. Blew my mind when we gave a small description of the pizza place we went to in Chicago being two story with a brick wall and our lovely server guess Pequod’s! She was right! Small hole in the wall restaurant with delicious food. Definitely coming back here.“

“Ok place .. food is not so great.. the hummus is fine .. except of that the rest is really so so .. I’ve eaten in a better places ..but again it a matter of taste .. they still got for me 5 starts as they are a local business and I support their efforts to hire local people.. but they need to improve the service and the quality of the food..“

“The place is great. Myself and my wife came there for a pizza (truffle) the place was still not full and due to some difficulties in the kitchen. We had to wait very long time for the pizza and started to get really hungry angry.. my wife went to check on the order but still did not help. Not a good start! But then.. the pizza arrive, the stuff apologized and the pizza.. oh my good, was so good. One of the best we had for a while.. so we could forgive and the problems they had.. I really enjoyed the pizza so , even though there are so many places to eat in downtown Ventura, we found ourself in the next time back for another one.. the stuff was surprised to see us and giving them second chance and promised us the it will not happen. Again, and it was true, we ordered a great salad that arrived in minutes and few minutes after , the pizza was ready and again wonderful. I want to mention the girl Anna that was taking our orders and help in the kitchen. She was very kind polite and helpful, and new how to take responsibility when issues happened (I appreciated that) and was totally on her game the second night , and made sure everything will be great for us. ! We will be glad to come again“

“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“

“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!“

“Andreas Super helpful and knowledgeable about all the foods on the menu the chef always hook it up fresh. Oh my God, cucumber salad stuff. It’s unbelievable delicious number of sauces. You can choose from really affordable and large portions. You have to try this place multiple different choices. Trust me you will not be disappointed.“

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

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

“I love this place. The owner is so nice. The staff is amazing. The food is always delicious. It feels like a family style restaurant. The owner is always recommending get suggestions for food options. And he is very passionate about his food. Every time I ate at this restaurant it has ALWAYS been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing your food with us.“

“Luna Grill was looking real clean when I walked in, so off to a good start. Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate...solid portion for the price. Flavors were nice, but the beef leaned a little salty. Now, about those metal chairs… rock hard. Felt like I was sitting on a slab of concrete. A little padding wouldn’t hurt. Food was good, though, so I’d come back...just maybe seat on the booth next time.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“We visited this location for the second time today, and enjoyed it just as much as the first time we went to eat there. The Sherman Oaks location is one of the nicest P.F. Chang’s around, as we’ve been to quite a few in Southern California. Staff is always polite and professional, and I want to give a big “thank you” to our server, Aliyah. She was so friendly, sweet, accommodating, and is exceptionally good at her job, and it really showed! We’ve had some good and bad dinning experiences at other restaurants in the past, so it’s nice and refreshing to know that people like Aliyah truly care about the customer experience. It also reflects well on the management—that being, they spend the time and effort in training and employing great staff like her.

See you again, sometime in the future.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I finally found a legit Japanese Fish restaurant in the San Fernando Valley after Maya sushi changed its ownership. The quality of fish is incredibly stellar and the taste is superb. The rich flavor of the salmon the the crisp flavor of the yellowtail and the sweetness of the Sweet Shrimp is memorable. The fact that the chef fries the head of the sweet shrimp is wonderful. Paying more for the prime selection of the sashimi is definitely worth the price. The thickness of the fish is spot on and their fried food items are tasty.“

“Always great food, fresh and delicious!“

“Great for meal prep ideas, healthy options and home style authentic Mexican food for sure.“

“Walking into Sincerely Syria, you’re welcomed by the sight of two shawarma skewers rotating, perfectly cooked and ready to serve.

We tried the beef and chicken wraps, loaded generously with garlic sauce and pickles, with a side of crispy fries. The flavors were rich, the meat was tender and juicy, and the bread was perfectly crisp without making the sandwich oversized.

Each bite felt authentically Syrian, and we left thoroughly satisfied.“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“The waitstaff is outstanding! Timely to greet you and seat you. They keep your drinks full. The food is scrumptious. We love coming here because the food is outstanding and the beautiful plating done by their chefs. Restaurant is clean. Tables are bussed quickly and quietly. Bathrooms are clean. The parking on the street in front is metered, and there is a small parking lot in the back which is well lit. Overall a great time had by all.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“The food here as well as service is beyond any experience I've had in LA since I moved here 14 years ago. Chinese food is my favorite, but I have never found one in this town or surrounding cities that could match this place on all points. Some places have good food but rude waiters, or good waiters bad food, you get the point. Came here Sunday after church with my mother for lunch and we were both so impressed. Definitely give this place a shot, and to the restaurant don't change a thing! ❤️❤️“

“Lemón Zëst is an absolute gem! It's the perfect spot for a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling energized. The menu offers a wonderful variety of light yet flavorful dishes that are ideal for any time of day. What truly sets this place apart is the delicious food that tastes so fresh and authentic. The interior is bright and inviting, with cute lemon-themed decor that gives it a cheerful and refreshing vibe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. Parking is super convenient, with a lot just around the corner, making it easy to access. If you prefer, there’s also metered parking available right out front, which is great for a quick visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a more leisurely dining experience, Lemón Zëst provides a nice and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“The best of the BEST! Such a lovely spot! 🥰🍜🥘🫕🥣🧆“

“This place is really cool. My friend chose it, so I didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival, I noticed they have "any gender" restrooms, which was a nice touch.

I ordered the California Lounge, which was a massive burger! I added a side of "half-and-half," combining onion rings and french fries. Although the fries were a bit soggy for my taste, I still enjoyed every bite.

I also had a Mexican Coke on ice, though it's not pictured. Overall, everything was great. I appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere and the welcoming decor.“

“Highly recommend. Hole in the wall, TINY, restaurant, but food was fresh and delicious! They have seating available but most of their business is take out. From the time we got there, til the time we ate and left, there were people in line picking up their orders.“

“We love it! The wine and the pizza was delicious😉“

“I highly recommend Marcelino’s Italian kitchen, it is my favorite pizza and Italian restaurant! It is very clean and has excellent service. The food is amazing, the pizza is really good, the salads, pastas, and the bread! Very delicious.“
