50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

“We enjoyed this amazing restaurant for dinner tonight with our aunt and uncle that live here. What a fun place and the decor and ambiance is perfect. I absolutely loved the tapas style of eating and every dish we had was delicious. And we had the best server with making sure we were happy all the time and accommodating one in our group with a food allergy. Very attentive!!“

“We went here for my wife's birthday. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Elisnara was so fantastic and attentive I don't think we had anything empty the whole time. The manager Darlan was so awesome. We definitely will be coming back. Will be sending all of our friends and family here.“

“The team making everything happen here are truly wonderful. They work efficiently and are always pleasant. The food is consistently tasty and is served almost immediately. I have only ever ordered the medium noodle bowls, and they are much more than I can eat in one sitting. My go to? Pho tom. Delicious! Also, try the Vietnamese Coffee. It's so good! Get in here and try it; you will not be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Good foods, good service🤟🍀🌻“

“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 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.“

“I visited this winery to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for the occasion. They even had live music just the right volume to enjoy without being overwhelming. Both the wine and the food were reasonably priced, which made the evening even better. Overall, it was a relaxing, memorable birthday celebration, and I would absolutely recommend this winery to anyone looking for a great spot to enjoy good food, wine, and atmosphere.“

“Really liked this spot. I like the ordering system. I was greeted warmly by the two employees I initially had contact with. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich, very filling and the biscuit was so good. I had one pancake and man was that delicious! The parking is also a plus. Will definitely come back to check out other options!“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“Very homie type of comfort food. Food always tastes great have been going here for years ! Salt and pepper chicken is my go to favorite. Small interior so best for takeout. The cooks are great, host is always nice. Be warned it can get crazy busy on weekends especially evenings, its better to order in person and just grocery shop nearby while you wait.“

“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.“

“Let me start by saying I don't review things often. . I manage the big o tires in walnut creek. And the owner of de afghanan kebob Omar came in for some tires. We got him setup and he said he would bring me lunch. Fast forward to today I forgot he had said he was bringing me lunch and to my surprise the food is amazing. I will definitely be ordering more from them in the future.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.“

“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!“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“

“La Plaza is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek. Big menu with lots of options, you can't go wrong with anything you pick.

My go tos are the Chile Relleno or the Nachos. the Bean and Cheese Burrito is also one of the best I've ever had.

Great to eat in or easy takeout for the whole fam. Highly recommend!“

“My favorite Sushi spot in Walnut Creek!!! It’s amazing here. I get the premium omakase and hand rolls every time. (Usually spicy tuna or salmon). The fish is super fresh and my favorite nigiri is the otoro of course.

They have some rolls there that are pretty good as well. The pacific roll is one of the ones we always get. But you can’t go wrong with all the others. Just pick the one with fish you like and it will taste so good.

Also the staff is so friendly and attentive. It’s worth it every time we go :)“

There was just two of us, but we even had leftovers :)“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

“O order the pad Thai and cucumber salad on door dash. The food arrived very quickly and was the best Thai I ever had! I had!! And a great door dasher too. Food was piping hot and the cucumber salad was fresh and crisp. I am going to add the to my contact and will visit them with friends. SIMPLY “

“This was my first time visit .. staff was friendly, great food& quick service. Thnx for that. 🙂“

“On this cold wintry raining evening, what better idea than ordering pizza delivery ? Yum - warm chewy dough with crunchy crust, delicious sausage toppings, drizzle marvelous Ranch dressing over pizza. Hit the spot ? Oh, yeah 😋“

“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!“

“Three of us dined here tonight. Every dish we ordered was delicious and fresh. We had Shrimp Dumplings; Steamed Fish Filets with Bok Choy; Sautéed Pea Shoots with Garlic and Shrimp Fried Rice. Staff was all very attentive. Will definitely be back“

“The place was visited for the first time on June 30, 2025. Parking was limited on the street, but public paid parking was available in the back. The walls featured nice pictures of famous Cheesesteak places in Philly, along with some information. The menu was straightforward with plenty of options. A large classic or original, was ordered, along with a fountain drink. It took about 7-10 minutes from the time the order was placed until the sandwich was received. The bread was really soft. The meat, cheese, and onion were well-balanced and flavorful. A slightly larger size or more filling would be preferred for the price. Overall, the experience was enjoyable. It is recommended, and if ever back in the area, it would be revisited.“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

“House of Sake in Walnut Creek is an absolute comfort spot with phenomenal quality sushi! Every dish we tried was a delightful experience. The Spicy Holly Roll stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and scrumptious layers—an absolute must-try. The Godzilla Roll was a petite masterpiece, with a beautifully crafted tempura shell that was perfectly crisp and evenly dispersed.

The Cherry Blossom Roll was another highlight, boasting a clean, fresh flavor and a stunning presentation that was almost too pretty to eat. We also enjoyed the Negihama Cut Roll (yellowtail and green onion) and the New Orleans Roll (spicy tuna cut roll)—both incredibly fresh and satisfying. The creative names for these simple yet perfectly executed rolls added a fun touch to the meal.

Every bite hit the spot, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation is second to none. Highly recommend House of Sake for anyone seeking exceptional sushi and a memorable dining experience!“
