50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

“Luis Fernando was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, Luis and his entire team were incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The team was very professional when bringing the different meats to the table, presenting everything properly and making sure we never felt overlooked.

Luis was also a fantastic host and really helped make the night feel like more than just another dinner out. He was friendly, social, and made the experience feel like a true pastime with great conversation and energy. He also recommended some incredibly tasty dishes for us to try, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere were outstanding. Luis, and the whole team made our night very memorable. We truly felt welcomed and taken care of from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend asking the front desk if Luis can be your host. He and his team truly go above and beyond to make sure you have an incredible experience. 5 stars all around — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Nice atmosphere but very busy. Food at most was mediocre and Luis our server was the best in addition to being attentive.
Black Cod was okay, my husband enjoyed it. The cod was cooked perfectly and the potato cake had just enough crunch on the outside nice and moist on the inside. Beautiful dish 🙂
Waygu beef va de vi burger was “okay” the brioche bun that it was served on was saturated with butter and it wasn’t the freshest as it crumbled when I cut it in half.
Brussel sprouts were very good flavored with bacon, walnuts and lemon, absolutely delicious 🙂“

“This is our 4th time having Ellie’s Pizzeria. Our favorite so far is the cheese with the creamy garlic sauce . The all meat is amazing as well as the calzone. Can’t wait to try other things as everything we have tried has been fantastic. Highly recommend eating here 👍🏻“

“Good foods, good service🤟🍀🌻“

“I got the lunch nigri, salmon was buttery, tuna was fresh. Complementary miso soup. Definitely an amazing lunch. Even the katsu was delicious. A plentiful variety of authentic Japanese dishes. Would come here again and recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Great service and food! I don’t love “breakfast food” and they have so many options. For instance, I got a tuna melt sandwich. It was SO good!! I also got orange juice and it was the best orange juice I have ever had. It was SO smooth. I really don’t even know how to explain it. I would definitely go back whenever I’m back in town!“

“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!“

“went to Havana with my friends and had such an amazing experience! Right off the bat, our hostess Carla was so inviting, friendly, and welcoming. She immediately set the tone for a great night.

Our waitress Patty was soooo kind, friendly, and warm. She made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Our meal was delicious, and the mojitos were SO good! Everything from the food and drinks to the service made for such an awesome experience.

Big shoutout to Carla and Patty for making our night even more special. I’ll definitely be coming back to Havana!“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Really solid dumpling spot in downtown Walnut Creek. Dumpling Hours has more of a casual, old-school local restaurant vibe, which I personally liked. It is not the kind of place that feels super fancy or overly polished, but that actually made it feel more authentic and comfortable to me.

The food was the best part. The xiao long bao were juicy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the larger dumplings as well. They were filling without feeling too heavy, and they had that satisfying handmade dumpling texture. One dish that stood out more than I expected was the wood ear mushroom salad. It was fresh, light, and had a nice texture that balanced really well with the dumplings.

Service was pretty typical for a busy dim sum-style restaurant: straightforward, quick, and not overly chatty, but totally fine for the type of place it is. I actually don’t mind that when the food comes out hot and the meal moves smoothly.

Overall, I liked the local feel of the restaurant and would definitely come back when I’m in the mood for xiao long bao and dumplings. It is a nice option to have in Walnut Creek, especially if you want something casual, comforting, and different from the usual downtown restaurant choices.“

“Delicious! There was nothing that we regret ordering! Big servings. Very attentive servers even if it got busy! I’ll keep coming back!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“Taqueria La Plaza is a neighborhood gem!

My husband and I love walking here for lunch: He usually gets a burrito and I go between enchiladas and a breakfast burrito (which is offered ALL DAY!). There are so many meat choices! They throw in a bowl of chips and unlimited access to their salsa bar. I also enjoy their aqua fresca or horchata on occasion.

You can eat indoors or outdoors (both covered and sunny tables), or take your food to go.“

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

“My daughter and I had dinner here tonight. It's a cozy place, very clean, tables well spaced and the service is excellent. We had chicken and lamb kabobs. The meat was nicely spiced, flavorful not hot and cooked to perfection, moist and delicious. We also had the eggplant appetizer and will be ordering that again for sure on our next visit!“

“Sooooo many little kids, which would be fine in the Beer Garden but many of the young children were not being well supervised. Great vibes, good beer, too many unsupervised littles“

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

“Best poke place, delicious sauces and fresh fish 👍“

“I always make an “excuse” to visit ØL. Such a great vibe, amazing curated selection of brews and down to earth staff. I lived in SF forever and moved out to the East Bay a few years back and this place is equal to or beyond some of the best beer cafes in the city. Huge thanks to the staff here - this place is awesome!“

“Such delicious food! The Thai tea is the best I've ever had. We got a table as soon as we got there, they took our order super fast and our food was out in less than ten minutes.

The egg rolls were super crispy and flavorful, and the spring rolls were very fresh. We got the #13 beef pho, and between three people it was plenty of food with the two roll dishes.

The broth with all of the sauces on the side was amazing. The quality and quantity of noodles was excellent for the price. I would definitely go back, especially for the Thai tea.“

“My first time having the vegetarian Pita & my husband got the vegetarian salad with chick peas. We made it a meal and added fries. This meal with drink did not disappoint. I had the dragon fruit drink with my meal. Fresh food affordable price! I would recommend“

“Delicious food! We had the soup dumplings, fried potstickers, cucumber salad and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was wonderfully flavored and a joy to eat! Great service, a cozy laid back ambiance - I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes!“

“Amazing sushi bar! The fish is incredibly fresh and you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything we ordered was super delicious and beautifully prepared. Great atmosphere and friendly service — definitely one of the best sushi spots. I will absolutely come back to IKOI again!“

“Delicious and fresh rolls. They are the perfect size! Some places make the pieces way too big and filled with rice.

Both women who helped me were very attentive and caring. Checked on me during my meal and whited I had everything I needed.

Very clean inside. Overall very happy! Will be back soon“

“Have been going to this restaurant for more than 10 years once a week with my daughter and it’s by far my fave for Thai food. I moved and don’t get to come as often but any time I’m in town it’s my go to spot.“

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

“I had a craving for a good old fashioned Chinese lunch special. You know the ones that include maybe some soup if you're lucky rice and one entree. I saw this place when I had a few minutes to myself. I went in and ordered not expecting much but it was absolutely delicious! The soup was hot and sour soup which is one of my favorites. It was incredibly well done and then I had kung pao shrimp with stir fried rice. The rice was okay. Nothing special but my God the kung pao shrimp? The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were crisp tender and the sauce was spicy enough to catch your attention without burning out your stomach or your throat“

“Great menu....creative choices Welcoming atmosphere Friendly & Expedient service“

“Beautiful products. My order was very carefully packed and arrived quickly. Excellent service.“

Maddy was an incredible server and very educational regarding the wines! This place is very fortunate to have her.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, the portions are worth the price, the outside area is beautiful and I will always sit outside. The service is pretty good with food taking a few minutes to arrive if the restaurant isn't too busy. The servers are amazing, especially Anthony. He is always very enthusiastic and kind. Best service out there.“

“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 😋“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“

“Went here on a vegetarian day and I got the drunken noodles which tasted absolutely delicious, and the tofu was so nice and soft. I loved the cucumber salad on side and the thai iced tea was pretty good too - just a little on the sweeter end. Service was great and the restaurant was decorated nicely.

I want to come back here for the khao soi chicken another day, looked really good!“
