50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Signal Hill

“The wait for food was way too long. My friends got their food (toasts) 55 minutes after we ordered, I got my order 1 hour 15 minutes after we ordered. Breakfast burrito took 75 minutes to make, wow! My friends finished eating by the time I got my food.

It was around 10am on Saturday, the place was not full when we got there but it filled up quickly with people waiting outside by 12pm.
This cafe should prepare better for their rush hour time.
There was no acknowledgement or simple apology for the wait. On top of it when we asked for some extra whipped cream it was never brought to us.

Food was good but won't be coming back because the last thing you'd like to do when you hungry in the morning is to wait for food for over an hour.

Maybe grab a snack before you head to Mia's cafe.“

“We chose to have Rossmoor Pastries make our wedding cake and it was the perfect choice! At the cake tasting, the staff were so kind, helpful, and easy to work with and the cake was just so delicious that it was an easy choice to pick them. Communicating our vision through email was easy and they were so accommodating after we changed our design a few times. The day of, when the cake was delivered, I was immediately impressed with how they brought our vision to life! Our guests complimented on how the blueberry filling was a yummy, unique choice. I would definitely recommend working with them!“

I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side, cuz it was a tad salty. Other than that it was a fantastic meal!“

“one of a kind for a scooner of beer, picked egg and the best special sandwich.“

“This was my first time here, and honestly, I’ve been to almost every Turkish restaurant across the America, I can easily put this one at the very top. The menu is huge, the place is spotless and well organized, and the design is modern and stylish. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, with generous and filling portions.

The highlight of our visit was Sefkan, the staff member who took care of us. He treated us with genuine hospitality and made us feel truly welcome just like a real host should.

Right next door, there’s also a dessert shop where you can find all the classic Turkish sweets and ice cream. Their desserts and ice cream were outstanding as well.

Highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“Extraordinary bakery on 6th & Ohio! Organic! Vegan! Delicious and a kind staff. Thank you Guadalupe for your guidance.“

“Everything great“

“Good fresh food. I had the Far East Bowl with sesame chickin it was very good. I will be eating here again real soon.“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that I can choose what size pho I want. Small was plenty, great price, a bit over $10 so I got a Vietnamese coffee as well! Being able to finish it all by myself and not wasting any made this my number 1 go to pho spot. Delicious too! Will be back for sure whenever the craving strikes!“

“For the finest burger in Long Beach, Crack is the place to go. Dave, the owner, consistently crafts exceptional burgers with bold, flavorful profiles and frequently introduces innovative specials.

The Dirty burger is a standout, perfectly balanced with just the right hint of sweetness and a satisfying portion size. Pair it with a cold coke/beer and the crunchy potato salad, and you have a meal that’s hard to beat.

Without question, Crack is a must visit for anyone who appreciates great food in Long Beach.“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“I want to share that we had a amazing time last night. My wife and I went out for date night and had an amazing service with Patrick. He was very attentive and gave great recommendations on food, desserts, and drinks. His service is the type of service that makes you want to keep coming back to restaurants.“

“Isidra provided outstanding customer service from the moment we walked in. It was our first time visiting, and she truly made us feel welcomed by taking the time to greet us warmly and walk us through the menu with patience and care. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and paired perfectly with the exceptional hospitality, creating a wonderful overall experience. We ordered the combo with a shrimp taco and a fish taco, served with rice and beans, and everything was absolutely delicious and well prepared. The agua de sandía was incredibly refreshing and full of flavor. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to others.“

“The food was super delicious!!!“

“Great authentic Cambodian food, and one of the best service I’ve received by the waitress compared to anywhere else I’ve been to in Long Beach .“

“number one place to eat.“

“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“非常棒的意大利风味，美味的意面和披萨“

“El fin de semana celebramos la quinceañera de mi hija en Rivera's Restaurant y todo estuvo excelente. Desde el primer acercamiento George siempre fue muy amable y comprensivo con lo que esperábamos para nuestra fiesta. La decoración y sobre todo la comida y atención a nuestros invitados fue excelente. Estamos convencidos que volveriamos a tener otro evento con ellos.“

“"Thai District is a culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported us to Thailand. Scott, our server, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Not only did he provide impeccable service, but he also shared interesting tidbits about the area, like the length of the actual “Long Beach” in Long Beach, adding a delightful personal touch to our evening. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars all around for Thai District!"“

“Good Irish drinks and great service“

“An adorable, cozy sushi restaurant with INCREDIBLE fresh fish. We got the special and regular omakase, and the special is absolutely worth the extra $20 because it comes with an amazing toro collar and tiramisu, along with more sushi, soup, and a carpaccio. Some memorable bites were the monkfish liver, fresh oyster, toro collar, daikon marinated red snapper, golden eye snapper nigiri, and the AMAZING housemade tiramisu.“

“Good and friendly service. Good food. The best craft beer“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️“

“I really hope the area's residents (and everyone else too!) appreciates what a gem of restaurant this is & comes to support this place. The food is excellent quality & cooked well. The beverage options are unique, local, & refreshing. And the atmosphere is clean & very good vibes. And the owner/staff puts a lot of love into making it a great establishment. Found it on a whim while driving through the area, and we left very happy that stopped by to try it.“

“This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.“
