50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Torrance

“Good taste noodle, great customer service! interesting old Torrance neighborhood.“

“I definitely recommend the chocolate xiao long bao“

“Small ramen place among several Japanese businesses in Torrance.
We were a family of 4. 2 kids and us parents all of us are vegan.
We ordered vegan gyoza and the 2 vegan ramen they had. The food is great even if the vegan options were limited.
The service felt rushed and the lady who attended us was curt/rude. We had to ask for bowls, cutlery, napkins and everything else.
The other lady was nicer.“

“Stopped by Jang Su Jang in Torrance and the place was bustling, with only a few tables open for dine-in.

Ambiance (4/5): Lots of natural light mixed with warm-toned lighting creates a cozy and homey feel. The restaurant has plenty of space, with tables for both small groups and larger parties of up to 8. It was lively and loud inside, but in a good way—exactly the kind of noise level you’d expect at a thriving Korean spot. Beautifully decorated and welcoming.

Food (4/5): I ordered the Jangsu Bossam, which came with rice and two portion sizes of banchan. Everything was well-seasoned, with the cucumbers being the standout—crisp, fresh, and addictive. The bossam itself was flavorful and generously portioned (marketed for 2 but easily feeds 3). We also tried the bibimbap, which was satisfying and nicely done. Overall, both dishes were good, though not quite unforgettable.

Service (4/5): Since we ordered to go, I didn’t get the full dine-in experience, but ordering was quick, friendly, and efficient. I’ll update if I get the chance to try table service next time.

Overall: Solid Korean food in a cozy, busy setting. Worth returning to, though maybe not a place I’d find myself craving often.“

“Excelent food ! Great place !“

“Sei-Ko-En is a Japanese yakiniku restaurant in Torrance, Los Angeles. The restaurant is simply decorated with promotional menus and posters. Ventilation is not the strongest, so expect to be smelly after the meal. Servers are friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Food is reasonably priced and of good quality. The crunchy Bean Sprouts (USD 8) and Minced Raw Beef (USD 12.50) are both refreshing. Highly recommend the silky-smooth Raw Beef Liver (USD 12.50), which will rock your palate! Don’t forget to order the Mega Mug Sapporo Premium Beer (USD 12) to go with the juicy Kobe Style American Wagyu Prime Rib (USD 22) and flavorful Kobe Style American Wagyu Tongue (USD 22)!“

“Wonderful food and service in this casual setting. We walked in on a Friday night and got a table right away. They were happy to accommodate my picky guest's modification requests and the food was all fresh and prepared perfectly. Everyone was so nice and there are some rare and hard to find treats on the menu, highly recommended!“

“First time eating there a will most definitely go back. The flavors were delicious! It was mom was cooking“

“The Pan is a great spot in south Torrance on PCH for amazing breakfast and lunch with big portions and fair prices. The menu is huge running from benedicts, to specialty pancakes, crepes, omelets and so much more.. mocktail menu, specialty lattes and coffee. The country benedict has delicious fried chicken breast and gravy, and the omelets are huge and filled with good stuff. They are famous for their loaded hashbrowns and shrimp and grits.. and the the lunch menu is also expansive.. burgers, sammies, wraps, unique pizzas and it goes on and on. The room is simple but very inviting with nice homey decor and the staff is all friendly and working hard to keep things moving and everyone happy. Overall The Spot has really good food at reasonable prices and plenty of choices for everyone.“

“I love this Veggie Grill. I've been a regular patron since I went vegan about 8 years ago and have only had good experiences. The staff is really friendly, the restaurant is always clean and has such a relaxed vibe. It's my favorite spot to grab a laid-back lunch with friends (vegan and non-vegan!) or order pick up for an easy dinner. My order is always accurately and quickly prepared and there are a lot of great menu options. The rewards program is pretty good too, lots of great deals and they often have BOGOs on specials.“

“The South Bay needs more restaurants where the people making your food actually care. We absolutely love coming here and sitting at the Sushi Bar so we can watch our sushi chef make our masterfully creative dishes. Good food. Decent pricing. Happy people. Why wouldn't you want to go?“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“De passage chez Eclair&café Excellentes pâtisseries Accueil au top, chaleureux merci pour ce bon moment 👍 De vrais professionnels !!! N hésitez pas à y faire un tour si vous êtes de passage dans le coin“

“furikake chicken furikake chicken furikake chicken poke and kalbi too but did I mention the FURIKAKE CHICKEN??? highly recommended“

“The curry is very good and not too heavy or salt. It goes very well with the poached egg and beef nikutama was very flavorful with the onions. The tempura was very soft and flaky. I've been here a couple times and loved getting the dashi broth and miso udon along with other tempura items available like the shrimp or zucchini.

There's a fair amount of seating along with outdoor seating. Plenty of parking available in the plaza with other restaurants there. The staff was nice and attentive to the items you wanted.“

“Delicious food and friendly workers“

“All 4 of us enjoyed a great breakfast with a fabulous waitress, Iman!!! She was attentive and so very friendly!!!“

“Deliciosa comida, ambiente familiar personal amable“

“Utsav Indian Cuisine is hands down the best Indian food restaurant in the South Bay. Just real authentic food without all the pretense of some of the beach city places that supposedly sell "Indian" food. The lunch buffet is reasonably priced and always well stocked and the wait staff are very pleasant and attentive to all our needs.“

“Sushi Time has officially become our new after-school go-to spot, all thanks to Mimi! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel like family—so kind, warm, and welcoming, with a sense of humor that instantly brightens your day. She has that rare gift of making you feel seen and cared for, which makes every visit special.

The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything is made fresh to order, with that perfect balance of quality and flavor that keeps us coming back. You can tell a lot of love goes into every dish.

Between Mimi’s amazing energy and the consistently great food, this place is a gem. It’s not just sushi—it’s a whole experience. Highly recommend!“

“good serving… nice staffs“

“The food is was too DIE for!! First time coming here and it won’t be the last. If you’re looking for a taste of Japan this is the place. The staff was so kind and made sure to help us out. Everything was just such a nice experience, do recommend for anyone in the area.“

“Their "Ricardo's Super Burrito" is the best! I order it wet style with enchilada sauce and melted cheese on top. They also include chips and salsa with the order. Delicious!“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant in Torrance“

“My boyfriend and I took our sushi to go. We ordered the crunchy spicy California, Torrance roll, and teriyaki chicken roll. They were AMAZING. We both absolutely loved them. The service was quick- they were quiet but very friendly and happy to see us it felt like. I definitely recommend. Good pricing also!“

“Always a great experience at this restaurant and we just love our regular waitress in fact if she’s not there we wait to sit in her section Elizabeth is our favorite server, we’re not saying that we don’t like the others but she is our favorite and is very nice and knows what makes us comfortable extra napkins & coffee creamer etc. just the little things that make us feel comfortable she really is the best in our eyes“

“I came here with a friend expecting to eat salmon belly sashimi as it one of the only few places in the area that has it. And wow, it didn't disappoint. We were planning to have a plate of salmon belly each, but unfortunately they ran out. Makes sense as it's hard to get. The other dishes we ordered were good as well. The server was nice and the atmosphere was welcoming. If you didn't pay attention to the sign, you would miss this place driving by. I would recommend this place.“

“Great tasting food....healthy options...large portions...friendly atmosphere.“

“This is by far the best all you can eat AYCE Kbbq restaurant in Torrance. The staff were incredibly attentive and A++ for the cleanliness of the restaurant. 😊 I really like that most of the common cookable meats are out on the salad bar as well as vegetables, appetizers, all the sauces, fruits 🤤 all readily available to everyone - so you can easily get more. 😉 I highly recommend trying the beef belly, beef rib finger and marinated short ribs each cut was tender and flavorful. The cheesecorn, shrimp tempura, tofu soup and baked mussels were delicious side options and cooked to perfection. 😊💯“

“We've been here a few times. We have enjoyed it and feel the staff is good and take care of you.

Parking: The parking lot is large but this restaurant is busy and Scardinos, another popular place, restaurant is in the same strip mall. I've had to drive a loop a couple times each time we've come.“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Súper comida de buena calidad Servicio explendido“

“I thought it was weird when they offered a drink but made me to give 5 stars… feels dishonest, like a way to boost their rating. I might’ve given 5 stars anyways. Food was good for the value. But my friend thought he could get better poke elsewhere.“

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

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“I absolutely adored the staff, they were attentive and friendly. Made the whole experience amazing. The food was great, the open time is convenient. It’s a small hole in the wall type of place, maybe 10 tables. I highly recommend. The menu isn’t small and at the same time not overwhelming. They have a daily specials menu too. Will be returning. I didn’t ask, but I think it may be family owned. 💕💕“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“it was yakitori and izakaya place. it was sooo nice and good. it's pricey though, but that's what fine dining is right..!? so i think it is pretty good, to come with famz or colleagues 😃👍🥰“

“Great, healthy, flavorful food!“

“The Spicy Italian Chicken sandwich is the bomb!“

“Outstanding food and great staff! I wish I lived in Torrance 😂😂😂⚡️❤️“

“A hidden gem.
Ordered the California Burger. The staff were truly kind and brought extra sauces, checked up on us, and ensured we were enjoying our food.
The burger itself was outstanding. I couldn’t put it down and all the flavors complimented each other especially the honey mustard with the smokey patty. A copious amount of fries were presented alongside the burger. Reasonable prices with the quality of food.
Location is quaint and tucked away. It’s hard to hear the traffic even when close to the road.
Business has operated for 24 years. Family owned.“

“The best bartenders ever! Good people , good vibes , good food and good times! ❤️“

“BlueSalt Fish Grill is truly a hidden gem. The food is tasty but affordable, the service is good, and the atmosphere is nice and casual. Don't expect a Michelin-starred experience, but you'll get some pretty darn good food for the price of 1.5 - 2.4 Big Macs. I enjoy the fried fish taco plate with stewed chickpeas and garden salad, but pretty much all of the menu items are quite decent. Give it a try!“

“BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and don't change!“

“I tried Hiroshima Okonomiyaki when I first visited Japan over a decade ago, and I fell in love! When I came back, I thought I was only going to be able to have this dish in Japan, but I was stoked to find out there is one located in Torrance. Whenever I visit my mom, she always asks for me to bring her a dish. I usually get the Chinchikurin with traditional noodles and add mochi on top and it never disappoints.
The staff is super friendly and I always enjoy sitting infront of the grill and watch them work.“

“We are blessed to have this King Mediterráneo in Torrance. The food is delicious and very generous on the portion served. When I go there, I always try to say hello to Ara or Norah. It is such a pleasure to see and talk to them, they make me feel that we are long time friends. For sure I recommend this place and give them a FIVE STAR rating. I assure you will not be disappointed. !!!!!!“

“Yamaya Japanese Wagyu & Grill is a Japanese yakiniku specialist in the Torrance area. Ventilation is not bad, but expect to get smelly. The dimly lit dining room is clean and tidy. Servers are friendly, professional and accommodating. Corkage is US$ 25/btl. Food is fresh and of great quality. While side dishes such as Moyashi Namui (US$4.8) and Green Salad ($5.8) are refreshing, the different cuts of wagyu are simply delicious! Highly recommend the crunchy Chef’s Cut Tongue (US$42.8), the juicy Premium Short Ribs (US$ 34.8) and Outside Skirt (US$ 29.8).“

“Really good food and fast service“
