50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Union City

“Mala Town is hands down one of the best spots for Sichuan dry pot in Union City! You get to pick your own ingredients and spice level, and they stir-fry everything to perfection with that addictive numbing-spicy mala flavor. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and prices are fair for the quality.

The medium spice has a nice kick, but if you love heat, go for the higher levels—it’s legit spicy! Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving bold flavors and want a fun, shareable meal.“

“Fresh food, made to order, great service, good price for quality food“

“Every time I come to Nick the Greek in Union City, California, I’m impressed. The restaurant is always super clean, and the manager is absolutely wonderful—such a great personality with a consistently positive attitude. You can truly feel how much they care about their customers.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the kindness of the staff makes every visit special. The food is always incredibly fresh and full of flavor. My husband and I come here quite often, even though we live about 40 minutes away. We’ve tried other Nick the Greek locations, but none compare to this one—this is the only location we’ll go to because of the amazing atmosphere and outstanding service.

My favorite dish is the Mediterranean bowl, and my husband loves the souvlaki plate—both are always delicious. If you have not tried Nick the Greek in Union City, you’re missing out!“

“Best pizza I’ve had in the area and surrounding cities including Oakland and SF. Small place but the vibe is super chill, great serving sizes for single slice, good place to go with friends, and the workers and owners are Gs. Must try pizza fosho.“

“Pretty nice restaurant in the UC area, they were able to accommodate my group of 12 though the restaurant is a bit smaller. The service was good, unlike the other reviews servers came to take our order, and food was good as well.

Started off with lamb seekh kabobs which were really good, and chicken malai was ok as well. Got the chilli chicken, I think it def could have been spicier, and had more veggies than meat, but meat was good. Mango Lassi was actually nice and thick! For entrees, we got the kadai chicken, chicken curry, and goat curry, all pretty good. And I absolutely LOVED the gulab jamun with ice cream at the end.“

“Chris that works there is awesome, food is good and they are accommodating“

“Our favorite place for a date night in Union City! Fantastic menu choices and delicious food every time.“

“People are so warm and friendly!!! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“Ribs are the best, falling off the bones and the fresh hot bread“

“Oh my god, this place is a hidden gem! I love Korean cuisine and this place is by far one of the best!
We stumbled upon it by accident after getting a flat tire and were looking for food near the repair shop. The service was fantastic, and the food was amazing! I would easily travel a long distance just to come back here.“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“Great food, healthy option, decent price and happy people work there. I'm so glad that my daughter introduced me to this place. Break Your Fast is my "go to" place from now on.“

“kantutan to the max😆😆 see photo“

“1combo Sandwich $8.00 and 2 fried spring rolls 3.00
Very good prices for the year 2026 and very tasty
As a Vietnamese myself the Flavors were as expected, A very good baseline if you want to introduce someone to the Banh mi( sandwich)
and Fried springrolls“

“House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Best and most underrated ramen in the Bay! The broth is so flavorful, the texture of the noodles is perfect, and the pork belly is so crispy. Good portions for the price and the owners/service are great. My personal fav is the TanTan! Can be a little salty so request less salt :)“

“Excelente customer service. Super friendly, smiley and fast service. Superb vibes and tranquility in the place. Super happy and satisfied with the pizza quality. I normally have the combinación personal size and it’s super delicious. I will rated the best place in town.“

“Grand opening with free meals! Delicious!!!“

“The food here was phenomenal!! Our order was taken by the restaurant grandpa, and he was the sweetest. He literally walks away, and two minutes later, our food is at our table. The broth was delicious. Some of the best we have had around this area. And then best part is, it was affordable.“

“Muy rica y buena comida! Sabor y porciones muy buenas! El personal muy agradable y muy serviciales. El lugar bueno y limpio aunque escondido pues está en una zona de oficinas. Pero en general 💯 por 💯 recomendado 👍“

“Lamb was very tender and girthy, it was especially good raw. The lack of soda perplexed me, I gained over 25 pounds after eating here! Finally I way 440 pounds. The laterally thin rice dessert completely satisfied my cravings. The nice whitish liquid, that elicited a delicious reaction with my pink tongue, wowed my world. Overall my chakra levels increased and I can now go on to master spinjutsu! We love you Tecca! 10/10“

“It might be a bit pricey, but the portions are definitely worth it. I recommend the owners to serve rice as a compliment vs paying close to $6.00 for a single rice portion. The environment could change and this solely would shift based on the owners’ budget and their goals as a restaurant owners. The food and service are top-notch compared to other Thai spots. I’ll keep coming back to this great local Union City restaurant.“

“Best sandwiches! The garlic sauce makes the sandwich. The avocado is so fresh!“

“We ordered half and half Supream and Soy & Garlic fried chicken. It was v crispy and also juicy. We’ve also had the honey cheese one and that one is pretty good too. They were pretty understaffed tonight (2 servers on a Saturday night), so I hope they hire more people to work on a weekend night!“

“Hawaiian Cream Bread is the shiiiiiiiiiit!“

“Driving all the way from Milpitas almost every Tuesday & Thursday just to enjoy their $1 oysters is absolutely worth it! Bay Grill never disappoints when it comes to food and service. Their fried rice is so flavorful, the garlic cheese bread is addicting, and the Korean grilled pork belly and chicken karaage are definitely must-tries. Honestly, almost everything on their menu is delicious. Worth the drive every single time just to dine here! 😋🦪✨“

“My favorite Filipino food spot in the Bay Area! The food here tastes like home. The food is always good whatever you order, and the prices are a great value. I always try to come here regularly.

Just know that the inside seating is very limited and there are not that many tables. So, it's sometimes hard to get seating during busy hours. However, the food is prepared fairly quickly and table turn over is fast.“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“Have been here a few times already and everything is consistently delicious. Thought it was about time for a review! Most recently, I ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) just as it is and it was flavorful, full of good size chicken pieces, ample noodles, and the broth was perfect. Toppings on the side were plentiful (basil, lemon, sprouts, etc.). I also ordered a soda chanh (lemon soda) and some spring rolls. Again, never an issue with the freshness or quantity provided. Just loved it and highly recommended you pay this restaurant a visit if you're in Union City and are seeking a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. While I haven't tried the other meat/rice dishes they offer (since I typically only ordered pho), my other family members have and will attest that they are made well and are of sizeable portion. Also, the family that runs this place is always kind and efficient. Thank you so much!“

“First time here. Great pizza! Will come back again. Did take-out. It was going to take 20 mins to bake so got there right about the time it was ready. Unfortunately there was a long line. (I figured that was a good sign though so was fine waiting.) My bad for not realizing it was lunch hour so it might be busy. So 20 mins later finally got my pizza. Will remember for next time.“

“Very authentic Cantonese clay pot dishes. Everything came out piping hot. The flavors are spot on. The place is clean and not crowded. Service is fast. The only negative is that the ribs in the pot we ordered were very chewy and the sliced meats in the porridge were also chewy. However all the cured meats and sausages were perfect so we still enjoyed the dishes. Will definitely come back to try another time.“

“Great value and good flavor overall. The stewed meats like lengua were super tender and rich—definitely the highlight. The grilled options (tripa, asada, al pastor) were just okay; tripa could’ve been crispier, and the others lacked that seared depth.

The restaurant is clean, and service is solid, though it’s mostly self-serve—order at the counter and grab your own salsas and drinks. Easy, no-fuss setup that works. I’d come back and stick with the braised meats.“

“Da Good Vibes offers a delicious fusion of Filipino, American, and Hawaiian dishes. When they replaced the old restaurant, I honestly thought I was going to miss the previous menu, especially the mochiko chicken, which was the old spot’s specialty. I remember hoping the new restaurant would have great food too, but oh my gosh, they exceeded my expectations from day one.

I’ve been a loyal fan ever since. I’ve tried most of their menu, and their roasted beef is my absolute favorite. It’s incredibly delicious, although it’s only offered for a limited time. The chicken adobo and guava-glazed pork are close runners-up, and the chili rice is just as flavorful. The staff is so warm and welcoming that I already feel like family whenever I visit. Kudos to the chef!“

“This is yet one of the best Vietnamese Restaurants in the Bay Area. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue is truly authentic. 👍😋“

“I've been contemplating going to this place for years. I wasn't able to stop by there because I was always at work. I finally went with my family and they don't miss a beat. It was on point. I will go there every week if I could. Everything was tender. Delicious, flavorful, colorful and pretty much healthy, which is rare nowadays. You can tell that they have been in this business for a while cuz they know what they're doing“

“Great job!! Good food and portions! I’m“

“Tandoori Pizza has the best pizza!!! Customer service is great and pizza's are delicious. Thank you for serving the community during this pandemic. We at St. Rose Hospital Emergency department appreciates you.“

“Perfection! I will not go anywhere else for pizza 🍕 bolani kabob and qabuli so good 😊“

“First time Here very Impressed with the Mango 🥖Baguette it was very good & we will definitely return for more Variety.“

“The kare kare and pork barbecue is good but the Leche flan are not tasty“

“People skills friendly and cleanliness“

“We visit this Mountain mikes at least once a week. Every Tuesday they have 40% off large pizzas so get them while they are hot! The kids are always excited to go pick up the pizza because they have a few games to play to win prizes while we wait. The owner Richard is always so friendly and delighted to see the family. Maria at the register is also very nice and accommodating. We usually go with extra pepperoni or a half and half Everest. But either way, hats off to the chef! Thank you for making family dinner night easy and delicious. Make sure to download the app to start collecting those points for a free pizza!“

“Have been going to dragon house since i was 14 years old one of the best restaurants in union city very clean and friendly staff. Mongolian chicken and honey walnut prawns

Kid-friendliness: They have always been kind to our kids, they love coming here. Both have come since babies one is 10 and one is four and they both love Dragon House“

“Wonderful service and food, I'll be back 😋“

“Very small Valerio’s place here in Union City. Lucky that there weren’t a lot of people here, but you’d probably get some good Filipinos goodies here. They also display other foods from the display bar if you’re up for a snack. I just wanted to get one thing there and that’s all.“

“We come here about once a month. We enjoy mostly the combination dinners with entree (we get Salmon Teriyaki or mackerel), mixed tempura, California rolls, salad, and miso soup. I tried the deluxe combo with entree, sashimi, mixed tempura, and nigiri sushi selection. Everything was very good. Quite a lot of food as a good value for Japanese food.“

“Mediocre sushi for fair prices.

I had a rainbow roll and miso soup. My total was $14.85 after tax.

The roll wasn't awful. The rice was slightly overcooked, so it was mushy. It also didn't taste like there was any vinegar. The avocado, salmon, and shrimp looked fresh. The miso soup was piping hot. It was hard to open the bowl because the surface was 163°F according to my phone's thermometer. There were a few pieces of tofu and seaweed.

I sat in the dining area, which was pretty clean and can accommodate up to 16 people and a small child comfortably (high-chair available). The restroom was closed when I visited. The music was a mix of Cantonese and Mandarin songs. It's quiet enough for a conversation.

As for the ordering process, you can use a kiosk or order with an employee, then sit down and wait until your number is called.

Everything is packaged to-go. They've gotten rid of their branded packaging and use generic options.“

“This is a treasure and let me tell you why. It used to be that many Chinese restaurants that opened before the 1970s not only had the restaurant but also a full bar depending on the size of the property. The Kuo Wah, a legendary Hong Kong style had a full bar and a nightclub on Grant Street in San Francisco. I think the bar is still there. Anyway, some history to look up.
So it was a very wonderful nostalgic surprise to see this restaurant's interior which harkens back quite a few decades and it's full bar on the side. The bar is not big enough sitting and drinking, that's for your restaurant table. The menu is pretty expansive and We noted that lunch time had a lot of combination plates in a $12 to $13 range. The tea is nice and hot, and we chose just a basic meal. Broccoli chicken, bok choy with garlic, and white rice..
Broccoli chicken was good. I probably could have eaten a lot more in my younger days. The bok choy, however, was a wonderful surprise because it wasn't stringy and chewy, which is what you end up with a lot of the time. My bites crunched through, not chewy, and it was also delicious. Lot of classic dishes in the menu and I think over the the next couple of years I will make my way through them once in awhile. We don't go out much but definitely we will return.
Another thing of note, I did not see any chopsticks. I think it's an all forks restaurant. That's fine because they serve incredibly varied community at that location.
I think next time I may try their Hong Kong noodles or their chow fun.“

“The best papaya salad n Jicama n beef! I never seen Jicama beef in any Vietnamese or Thai restaurant!“
