50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“The food was delicious!! I got a bowl and I was shocked by how full it was- tzatziki, hummus, cabbage, rice, chickpeas, kale and chicken- the flavors were amazing . One of the best quick lunches I’ve had! Alicia and Daisy were also so sweet and helpful. I will definitely be coming back!“

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

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Pizza was great! Harvest salad a great start as recommended by waiter. Do expect 45 min wait for deep dish pizza. Fries were good but we expected steak cut fries rather than standard. Quaint pizza parlor atmosphere and comfortable eating at a booth.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“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.“

“First time here. I love the french toast 😋 and coffee ☕️“

“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.“

“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“

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

“the Island bowls are so fresh and healthy. Its good with hoison sauce. Tiki tai good also“

“Two serious complaints about Mizlala. One is that they need to move into my part of the SF Valley ASAP. The second is their crazy parking lot.

But one thing is for certain. This place serves outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine. Far better than anything I've had anywhere. Wonderful flavors, spices and herbs. Succulent chicken Pargiyot, Taste bomb Moroccan fried chicken. Sumac fries to die for. Salads bursting with feta, Kalamata olives, beets, radishes and tomatoes. Perfectly nuanced sauces and dressings. A delight for the senses.

Their staff is friendly and very helpful.

Now just move closer and make me really happy.“

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

“They are the best of the B E S T! We love them! The experiences I've had there are mind blowing! 🌋🔥☄“

“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!“

“Best Chinese food in town“

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