50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near West Los Angeles

“I had lunch with my friends at Monte Alban because it has so many good reviews. Just like everyone's review, the food, space, and staff service were all great. We ordered a variety of dishes, cocktails, and desserts, all of which were delicious, and I especially liked the quesadilla, Fajita, and Molote. I also recommend their special desserts, deep-fried bananas and pudding (I can't remember the exact name). If you're craving a variety of Mexican food beyond the usual burritos and tacos, I highly recommend this place! * I parked inside their parking lot, but there were also many spaces on the street. It was convenient.“

“Love it so good rate 100 / of 1 10000“

“I am from Philadelphia,Pa. I come from an area with very good Italian food and I worked for an Italian Market in Warminster. The Bruschetta was meticulous and delicious, my wife had the Picatta and I had a Calzone. Pasta was perfectly to the tooth. The chicken tender and flavorful. My Calzone (I make my own and have eaten them all over) was exceptional and the sauce was fresh and lovely spotlight on the tomato. On my list for returning and highly recommended if you like Nonna-style Italian food!!!!“

“Great, family-owned place with delicious, authentic Indian comfort food at reasonable prices (3 entrees, shareable appetizer, Naan, drinks, and 20+% tip for <$85). Servers were attentive, owners greeted everyone, atmosphere was welcoming.“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“You can always expect to have a fabulous time at Haidilao. While this chain can be more expensive than normal for hot pot, you will always know what you're getting when dining at Haidilao - high-quality, consistent, and above-average hot pot. It's like the Din Tai Fung of hot pot, and most folks would tend to agree. It's beloved for good reason.

I would suggest going with a large group, as you'll have the opportunity to try more dishes than you normally would if you had gone with a smaller group of 2 or so. Plus, it's always more fun in a larger group, in my opinion. Additionally, I definitely recommend being careful not to over-order, as it happens more often than not. Remember: You can always order more later!

I've been to Haidilao twice now and I definitely would add this to my roster of easy, group-friendly dinner ideas if you're looking for soup during a cold winter night (or any night, for that matter).

Overall, I'm a big fan of Haidilao and strongly encourage you all to check it out!“

“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!“

“Beautiful decor, very spacious, and easy to find. Delicious food that just happens to be vegan, and the service is decent but a tad bit slow when busy. Brunch is fantastic, and the drinks hit HARD. I recommend the hummus, mushroom calamari, burrito, and the country breakfast.

Recommend parking at the library down the street.“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“Absolutely loved this place. We ate at the bar and the bartender was amazing. He was friendly, helpful and made sure we ordered exactly the right amount of food. His cocktails were perfect, like a wizard dishing out magic (I had a second cocktail which I rarely do ☺️). The food was equally good. The home made tofu melted in your mouth. The tuna, uni appetizer was delicate with a dash of wasabi. The heirloom tomato salad was fresh, succulent, and delicious. ? The jidori chicken was so flavorful. Overall it was a perfect meal. Thank you“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“I love this place so much!! Everything from the amazing food to the overall energy and ambiance. The crispy chicken is literally the best sandwich I've had in L.A. in years, and the desserts are off the chain, as well -- the raspberry lemon cake is my favorite. And the lemonades are delicious!!!!“

“I like the food Jamil n actman is the best“

“I recently purchased food from here while attending a conference in the city of Los angeles. It was truly fall off the bone deliciously seasoned chicken. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was a little difficult to separate out some of the smaller Bones from the half chicken but I got through it and enjoyed that I could rend the flesh with my hands because I did not have a knife and fork (I do not mind this it made me feel cool to eat it manually). The bread was spectacular and was baked to a degree of fluffiness that I have not experienced in another bread. I got it with hummus and pickled turnips which were pretty delectable, very toothesome and vibrantly colored. The sauces I chose were the tahini and the red sauce which were both nice accents on the food. I also got a delicious mint lemonade which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart with a nice cool mint flavor.

It is so difficult nowadays to find truly authentic Middle Eastern food, oftentimes it is just a poor imitation co-opted and misappropriated by people from northern Europe who think they have a claim to the land. That's why I am so glad you have gotten food from Jerusalem Chicken where I could tell it was cooked by people truly native to the land.“

“Wonderful service and outstanding food.“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff. I would highly recommend“

“I have dined at Meteora many times before and it's usually been excellent however the night that we went, the timing of the courses was notably off and delayed. The couple next to us got there right before and another couple 2 tables down got there after us and they were both 2 entire courses ahead of us. The entire meal lasted 3 hours due to this. There was plenty of staff - we saw staff constantly circulating so I have no idea what happened. When I said something, they were apologetic and offered us more drinks on the house, which I did appreciate, however, I really wasn't planning on such a long dining experience and disliked that we were essentially forgotten for the first half of our time there.“

“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋“

“Todo esta rico aun que una ves compre muchos para un evento y se desisieron“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“

“DON'T SLEEP ON THIS RESTAURANT! We visited today and we were blown away by the food, the server, the place. And the cooks aren't playing! The food came out in less than 10 minutes. Thank you for a positive experience“

“Food was excellent! Great atmosphere! Definitely coming back the next time I’m in LA!!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“As a New Yorker, my standards for breakfast & brunch are high. I’m so glad I came here! There’s a freshness about the atmosphere and the food selection is unique and tasty.
I got the curry with bokchoi and we had fried for the table.
They had matcha, which went perfectly with the creamy-with-a-kick meal. 🥰I wish I had 2 stomachs so I didn’t have to leave a bite uneaten, but I could only get through have of this lovely meal.
Absolutely will be revisiting when I’m back in the West Coast.🫶🏾“

“That sounds like a fantastic dining experience“

“Yummm. Hijo De Su Madre has the highest rating out of any vegan restaurant within 20 miles of LA, and I see why. It's definitely worth coming out of your way for if you love vegan businesses. I tried the Yucatan sampler platter, and everything was delicious. What really stood out to me was the Longaniza con Papa taco, which is among the most satisfying tacos I've ever had. The potatoes on it were perfect. Another highlight was the pumpkin seed dip. The quality of all the ingredients is great. And if you love a light dessert, try the Crema De Coco. It's not too sweet, the fruit on top is super fresh, and the consistency of the custard is really enjoyable. Plus, the service here is amazing. And the food was ready very quickly. So if you're reading this, definitely come eat here! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-04“

“Chi SPACCA is a renowned Italian restaurant located in Los Angeles, known for its focus on rustic, meat-centric dishes and traditional Italian flavors.😇“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“My family and I capped off a great vacation with a dinner here on a whim.
1st) We didn’t make a reservation and the host made it happen to get a party of 6 seated in no time at all
2nd) They were extremely accommodating of 3 kids in a party of 6 which many restaurants are not
3rd) Food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. From the bread, to the pasta, to the prosciutto to the pizza, and even the mocktail. 5 stars all the way
4th) The service was tremendous and especially when our oldest son, who’s on the spectrum, lost something and the server held onto it for him, which absolutely made his day.

From a restaurant owner in New Jersey, we all left filled, happy & was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

“Muy buen trabajador los a tendió muy bien“

“Republique is a Los Angeles Icon - a coming together of amazing food, in a history location... and the wine list is amazing.“

“Excellents croissant français.“

“Everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The linguini de mare was phenomenal and... arancini! I thought I'd never eat them again once I gave up dairy. I'm over the moon!“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“Tar & Roses is always a good experience. Great menu options and great service. My favorites are the oxtail dumplings, ribs and the whole fried snapper. Their cauliflower is maybe the best vegetable side I've ever eaten. Look forward to my next visit.“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“The food here is so good! The portions are also huge, my partner and I only ate half of what we got pretty much and were able to have the leftovers for brunch the following day ?, and it still schmacked after being microwaved! 5/5.

Decent service, it was a busy Saturday so it wasn’t anything to complain about ??

Atmosphere was great, washrooms were clean as well.

Only thing that sucked was finding parking, but we’re not from town, so parking could just be normal for locals?

Overall, you gotta try this place. The Vicky’s Breakfast is well balanced, the Pastrami was cooked perfectly and the roasted tomato and herb salad pairs with it so well to cut through that fat. The mushrooms were a sleeper in that plate ?‍? it was delicious! The chicken and waffles were great too, batter was light and crispy.“

“The food is very tasty and clean and it deserves 5 ⭐️. Service is very quick and friendly. The tea is so good and bottomless pot, which is complimentary and all you can drink. The only critique is the dining area can be improved. It needs a serious makeover.“

“1st timer here! Been searching around Hollywood for a great Indian food restaurant, and HANDS DOWN this is THEE!!!! The food is brilliant! The customer service incredible! As you can tell by the exclamation marks glorifying my excitement, they stand on business in Roots Indian Bistro!“

“Each time I’ve been here the food hits the spot. Fresh ingredients baked in an oven in front of you. We recently got their Caesar salad (no anchovies ) and their Margherita special pizza with Bufala cheese. And 2 chilled wines. Food was incredible, service was great! It’s a small restaurant with limited seated so definitely make reservations in advance. They truly earned their Michelin guide status!“

“This is a review by an Italian at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. The restaurant is in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the shopping streets. The welcome is kind and the place has warm lights and a very well-attended environment. The cuisine is excellent. The pasta is as good as in Italy. Well done! Italian flavors on the Pacific coast“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“Easily the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had. It has a really rich, savory broth, which is a nice change of pace since vegan broth is usually a watered down afterthought at most places. It comes fully loaded with mushrooms and hashbrowns (??!?) but you can add additional veggies or an egg if youre feeling it. Very simple menu but they execution is 1000/10!“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?“
