50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Walnut Creek

“This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a while. Their outdoor sitting in a quiet bylane is especially enchanting! All of the entrées we ordered were really delicious, but we especially loved their house fries and their potato leek soup, served in shot glasses. We are already looking forward to our next visit!“

“Celebrated a graduation, and I absolutely loved it here. I'm vegetarian so I can't speak to the meat but others in my party had nothing bad to say about it at all. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere... I'd definitely go back. The staff is so attentive and honest and deserving of beyond a normal tip. One guest dropped a hundred dollar bill near her seat, and the waiter brought it to her in the way out! Integrity at its finest. A definite must go!“

“This is a wonderful place to get a good cup of coffee and a delicious savory or sweet pastry. Please spread the word this bakery is located in a strip mall that is going down hill. This Bakery brings class to the area.“

“Everything I had exceeded my expectation including curly fries. Bulgogi burger was intriguing but I had to try classic cheeseburger also.

Both were SO GOOD. Cheeseburger was rich, smoky, cheesy goodness with drizzling au jus just about every bite. And bulgogi burger… omg it is amazing. The sweet sautéed onion and then meaty saltiness with crunchy French roll. I took so many bites and wanted more. It’s pretty good sized burger too. I normally leave some buns when I eat burgers or sandwiches, but bun to meat ratio was on point.

Also, I couldn’t help but notice how spanking clean this place is despite looking nostalgic old school establishment. Tables, countertops, salt and pepper shakers, floor, chairs, ketchup spouts, etc all clean. No stickiness, no dust, no dried sauce.

Full of locals, attentive and personal service to everyone dining here. I’m not a local here but it’s worth coming back for.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.“

“Decent Buffalo wings. Can order ahead for takeout.“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“I’ve been coming to Kevin since it opened in Walnut Creek. Parking was a problem ubtil they expanded back parking. The beef broth is above average as well as service. However, prices were increased and portion was reduced simultaneously recently.“

“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“The restaurant is the most authentic and upscale Mexican cuisine in California, and you would never know it. I don't write lengthy reviews, but to summarize: - The food is excellent - The drinks are even better! - The staff is kind and extremely polite/professional (despite what some of the haters say below - I don't have skin in the game here so trust me when I say they are lying). - And they play GREAT live music and carry a very fun, safe, and upscale vibe. Tell your friends about it, because all small businesses struggle and this is one I would personally love to see hit 4 stars+ on Yelp and more importantly bring a sense of cultural awareness to one of the best communities in the Bay Area (WC). Love,“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“If you're looking for good, authentic, Desi food in Walnut Creek, look no further than Methi! We tried their Chicken Tikka Masala (extra spicy), Veg Samosas, Onion Bhaji, and their Mango Pickle, along with Garlic Naan. Everything was spot on!

If you're vegetarian, they also have plenty of vegetarian options so definitely give it a try. I'm not sure if I spoke to the owner over the phone but the gentleman who picked up was super helpful and friendly!

10/10 would recommend if you're in the area and craving Desi food!“

“Excellent sushi place. Restaurant is very well decorated inside. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They brought us miso soup as soon as we sat down. Tons of options included veggie rolls and non sushi options. Food came quickly and was fresh and very tasty. The prices were reasonable as well. Can't wait to return and try some other items.“

“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“I liked the food, the staff and service were great, atmosphere was good. They give you cold water about as soon as you enter today (100F day in October) so that was a nice touch.

The Dan Dan & Yibin noodles both had good flavor, I'd only dock them for how thin the noodles were. I def like a thicker noodle. Portions are on the small size but prices reflect that and I enjoy getting to order more items and try more things without investing $20 on one plate. So that was nice as well.“

“As soon as you walk in- you are greeted by courteous & inviting staff. We ordered cocktails at the bar while we waited for a table. The wait was less than 5 min and the place was packed with happy diners. My pumpkin curry was pleasing to the eye and tasted delicious-although some pieces of pumpkin were raw. The lemongrass chicken medium spiced was delicious (full of flavor with the bright lemongrass & herbaceous spice). We shared the mango salad with shrimp -medium spice. Fresh & crisp & the shrimp were poached to perfection. We WILL return. *Ask for Alice.“

“You have to come and check out this sweet place food, drinks , coffee is fresh and beyond delicious. One of the most amazing things in Prologue is the owner and their stuff so kind and welcoming.

Vegetarian options: Delicious

Parking: Library parking there is free side and paid side as well“

“Montecatini Restaurant is always a welcome evening for our family. We can always count on perfectly prepared meals every time whether it's a traditional pasta dish, seafood or house specialty item. Their service is friendly and efficient and our experiences there are consistently top-notch. We love to start with either the prawns wrapped in pancetta with pesto aioli appetizer or the bay shrimp on butter lettuce salad. The prawns are full of flavor and great to share, and the bay shrimp salad is a great portion, small meal-size with delicate balance of flavors. The carpaccio is also a favorite of our family, we order it with the arugula, red onion and dijon dressing. You cannot go wrong when ordering your favorite Italian entrees; we've literally never had even an average experience here! Pastas are perfectly cooked, well sauces and the portions are abundant. The Classics are authentic, delicious and the seafood entrees are always perfectly executed! They offer a full bar and a wonderful wine list! This restaurant gets my highest recommendation!“

“First visit. Everything was delicious. Poutine fries, a side salad, and the Pittsburgh Cheese Steak. Will definitely be back.“

“This shop has the most delicious, freshly made piroshkis! They’re always hot, soft, and full of flavor—just like homemade. The dough is light and perfectly baked, and the fillings are so tasty and satisfying. Every bite is a treat! Definitely worth trying, especially when they’re fresh out of the oven!“

“Fries were excellent, the hamburger and hotdog were not too bad either“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Excellent! Tonight was one of the best meals we’ve had here and are so happy to be able to continue to support the restaurant. So thank you for some of the most fresh best tasting Chinese food in Walnut Creek!“

“Great food and service the staff was super friendly and patient with us being first-timers there! Highly recommend the pokerrito! Dining area was a bit dirty from the heavy lunchtime crowd coming and going but all the staff there were too busy making food to get to the tables to clean, so it was understandable.“

“Great cupcake spot that features alot of different and yummy flavors. They also sell older cupcakes for a discount and mini cupcakes, which is nice to sample.
The double chocolate was very good as was the key lime.
Service was fast and friendly. Place is small so can get crowded.“

“We had the chicken and beef bento boxes witch you can choose 2 sides. Both came with shrimp tempuras. The food taste good and
fair priced. Family own , friendly service and clean ambience.
I am especially impressed with their good sushi rice.“

“Amazing people serving amazing food!! Going to be ordering for my family members for Christmas gifts“

“Great service delicious food cozy atmosphere. Awesome Happy Hour 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Yummy food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“Excellent house-made noodles!“

“My son recommended this place, and I’m sorry I waited so long! We ordered so much food they had to move us from a 2-top to a 4-top just to accommodate! We took a lot of leftovers, but there’s not one dish I would have removed from our order. Everything was felt, you could taste the various flavors of dumplings, the noodles were amazing and not “too saucy”, you could really taste the noodle. I HIGHLY recommend- and, the prices are incredible.“

“A hidden gem in Walnut Creek and an absolute must-try for Thai food lovers! After trying almost every Thai spot in the Bay Area, this one stands out as the best, hands down. The flavors are vibrant, perfectly balanced, and every dish we tried was a home run.

The service was just as amazing, the waitress was so warm and welcoming, and the chef personally came out to check on us, which added such a thoughtful touch to the experience. Little details like that truly set this place apart.

Don’t miss the Pad Thai, it’s hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The sweet and sour pineapple tofu dish was another standout, with a perfect blend of tangy and sweet flavors.

They even boxed up our leftovers for us, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience. This place has won me over, and I’ll definitely be back often. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and try this spot—you’ll be hooked!“

“Lunch buffet is fantastic. Great price and selection. I tried everything and all are delicious. The complimentary chai is a great bonus. Will definitely come back and recommend the place to friends and family too!

Also ordered takeout a few times too. The popular dish like butter chicken, tikki masala, saag paneer are all well made!“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“On one of my walks I passed by the restaurant and it opened my curiosity. I brought a friend for lunch today, to say the least, it was a very enjoyable experience, the food was excellent and very tasty, great atmosphere, the workers attentive and polite, as we were new they suggested what to eat, their choices were great. Welcome to Walnut Creek.“

“Delicious pizza. Never soggy which happens often with veggie pizzas. Love the sauce and the crust is always crispy never doughy. Staff has always been happy and pleasant. Pinky’s is tops for pizza in Walnut Creek area!“

“Delicious food. Loved the fact the food was done quickly. Loves the outside seating“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“

“It’s always a lovely time at Tellus coffee! The creative and delicious food and drinks, warm and inviting ambiance (that plant wall just makes me happy) and the super-kind and efficient baristas are the best! Thanks to owner Janae for all her hard work making Tellus a Walnut Creek fave!“
