50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Whittier

“We went to the Newport Beach location a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time ordering an acai bowl. The staff was very helpful and patient when I was building my bowl. Overall, from the time we walked in to the time we left, the staff was extremely friendly and nice.“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

“I was craving froyo and came across this place while driving with my children and husband. Good thing we chose this place. It is the best! I've been coming every week or 2 and I get the cherry tart and lavender. It is so delicious. I bring my own organic granola to top it off and it is so yummy. Best froyo ever!“

“I would give Pizza 21 a five-star rating without hesitation. The cheese is delicious, the crust is great, and the toppings are fresh. This place has exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to satisfy my pizza cravings here at least once a week. A must-visit spot for pizza lovers!“

“The waitress was very friendly and helpful with selecting our dishes. We had chicken chow mein and shrimp chow mein and a side of spring rolls. The food was very flavorful and brought to the table nice and hot. I would definitely come back again.“

“Whenever we are in the area, we come to Rey’s for breakfast!! Good food and super friendly staff!!!“

“Muy buena comida Excelentes vinos“

“Azabu Sushi – Whittier, CA
★ ★ ★ ★ ½ (I docked half a star purely out of spite because I can’t afford to eat here every day)

I walked into Azabu expecting the usual Whittier sushi experience: decent fish, questionable rice, and a lingering fear that the “spicy tuna” might just be yesterday’s salmon wearing hot sauce as war paint. Instead I was immediately hit with a vibe that says, “Yes, we know we’re in a strip mall next to a boba place, but we’re about to ruin you for grocery-store California rolls forever.”

Let’s start with the Salmon Carpaccio (the flat pizza-looking thing in the photo). Imagine if salmon had a glow-up, went to Coachella, and came back wearing citrus ponzu as body glitter and microgreens as a flower crown. It’s so pretty I almost felt bad eating it. Almost. Then I inhaled the entire plate in 45 seconds like a savage who’d never seen raw fish before. Zero regrets. The texture is silkier than my ex’s lies.

Next up: the Shrimp Gyoza in that dark, mysterious broth. These dumplings show up swimming in what I can only describe as “umami bathwater.” One bite and I involuntarily whispered “oh daddy” — which was awkward because I was on a date with my actual father. The wrappers have that perfect pan-seared crisp before collapsing into the sauce like they owe it money. I’d bathe in that broth if it weren’t socially unacceptable (and if the staff weren’t watching me like I’m one impulse away from grabbing a straw).

Portions are annoyingly civilized — translation: you’ll want to order three of everything and then lie about being full so you look refined. Pro tip: don’t. Just commit to the food coma. Your jeans will forgive you eventually.

Service is ninja-level attentive without being obnoxious. Our server knew the menu like he personally caught the fish at 4 a.m. while doing CrossFit. When I asked what was good he just smirked and said “everything,” which should’ve been arrogant but was 100% correct. Rude.

Ambiance? It’s dark, moody, and sexy in a way that makes you want to use chopsticks seductively even though you still hold them like a toddler with crayons.

Only complaint: the bill. It arrives looking innocent, then you realize you just paid Beverly Hills prices in a city where the biggest landmark is a 24-hour donut shop. Worth it? Absolutely. Will I be eating cup noodles for the next week? Also yes.

Verdict: Azabu is the sushi spot Whittier doesn’t deserve but desperately needed. If you’re still going to the conveyor-belt place down the street after eating here, I’m afraid we can no longer be friends. 9.5/10 — would sell a minor organ to come back tomorrow.“

“clean fresh well stocked big variety“

“It was wonderful and the food was delicious. The prices are very affordable. I will be coming back!“

“thee best Japanese food in Whittier hands down. my family loves visiting Dakara weekly. so many favorites like crispy rice with spicy tuna, avocado fries and sweet shrimp. love this family owned restaurant.“

“Food and service were absolutely amazing! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and even better than expected. Our server, Justin, did an outstanding job taking care of us from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure our order was perfect. It really made the whole experience enjoyable. I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for great food and great service. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you! 🙌✨“

“Hooked on Coffee is a cozy local gem that serves great coffee and a nice selection of bakery items. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently located right on Main Street — perfect for a quick stop or a relaxing break.

Sadly, the shop recently experienced a break-in, which is disheartening for such a hardworking local business. We really need to support more mom-and-pop coffee shops like this one — so if you’re in the area, drop by, grab a coffee and a pastry, and show them some love.

Overall, Hooked on Coffee offers great coffee, tasty baked goods, and a genuinely positive vibe.“

“I have not been to a Marie Calendars in years! I thought they had all closed down. I was in the area and so nostalgic that I decided to stop for a meal. The best server, service and experience! Thanks to server Maricela M. she made the experience so amazing! Recommend the chilaquiles and delicious and filling! I loved eating here and feeling so nostalgic“

“Amazing and comfortable experience… The oysters are beyond fresh and super special on taste, quality… The “you only live once” platter is INCREDIBLE!!! In our sweet little town of Whittier!!!“

“Bingo and the Los Angeles Dodgers!“

“honestly The food is very very good, I rate the his place a 10/10 in food and service. For being a Japanese restaurant this food is very tasty, the only thing is that they will serve your food in to go plates. Understandable, but if you are craving something with a lot of variety very good food, healthy and good in nutrients I have to recommend you this place. Also, if you are on a diet this place have the BEST fresh produce you can imagine so gymbros and gym girls do not miss this place 👍✅“

“Been coming here since the 90s when my mom would bring us as kids. We moved a few times and still make the drive. The owner and staff are very friendly and the food is sooooo good. I will post pics next time I go. I always forget and we all dig in. Its my husband's and kids favorite spot too. We come here for birthdays and just because and make the 1 hr 30 minute (thats with no traffic) drive . I love that this is now a tradition for my lil family.
We always get the wor wonton house special soup, shrimp fried rice, house special chow main. Manderine chicken and beef and broccoli . I highly recommend“

“I have been going to 6740 for years. They have beer and wine. They have TV's for sporting events. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed their wings, but recently we had a less enjoyable food experience. The wings were served cold and the grilled cheese burger was very plain. Prior to that, this was one of my favorite places for wings. I hope it improves if we come back. Maybe it was just a busy night. I don't know.“

“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.“

“love the food and service is great“

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“Fresh tasting Mexican food“

“Awesome food and service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“This place has great food! I have tried the chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki. Gyoza, California roll. And the Bento box. Everything has been super delicious. I do recommend you take your food to go. There is very little space for eating and half the dining area is taken up by supplies. It best just to take your food elsewhere. But a must try with it's huge delicious portions“

“Michelle worked really well with us to design our wedding cake, and delivered some incredible cupcakes! she also has worked with us to make challah bread now for our Shabbat service every week! she's creative, kind, and willing to try your ideas.“

“Me gusta el ambiente sobretodo la camida muy deliciosa“

“Enjoyed our brunch of delicious menudo con pata, coffee and a pan dulce to end our meal. The pan dulce was so fresh! The service was quick just right for our appetite. 👌🏼“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“

“Came by with my son last minute they were almost sold out (says a lot about how amazing there food is) so we grabbed what they had left bbq beef ribs mac and cheese and smoked beans….you guys the food was beyond AMAZING i love bbq but this particular spot 10/10 my son is a picky eater i got him his own plate he devoured the ribs and mac and cheese. I highly highly recommend do not listen to the few who gave negative reviews because you will definitely miss out. The service was amazing very nice and patient with us. Too bad i cant post a video because the portions are HUGE !“

“i had the dinner special yellow curry with pork. it has carrots and potatos in it! it also comes with rice and a salad :) cheap and filling! also if your like me and dont really like heat then get the mild option. its tolerable!“

“Hey do you feel like chilling? Well, based on the name you can already figure it out. They got boba, ice cream, desserts, snacks, claw machines, and even board games if you just want a chill spot then chillin will be good for chilling

Vegetarian options: They got a lot of milk based stuff so as long as you're not vegan you should be fine

Dietary restrictions: Not many vegan options

Parking: Got to look for it, maybe in the street or in a structure but it's doable

Kid-friendliness: Totally can bring your kids here, they even got claw machines“

“Yummy açaí bowl! The fruit was very fresh and the açaí was tasty & tart. Very polite & courteous staff 👍🏽“

“Jack's is a step above Norms and 5 steps above house of pancakes. I enjoy their menu which I've had about 5 times and each time I order something different. Service is always friendly, quick and the food is very decent. My son didn't like his steak which probably was frozen cause he said it was a bit Gray in the middle..and He said the consistency was more like a chicken fried steak... I've had that before and had no problem but other than that everything else was good.“

“A nice place to visit for a Valentine's weekend. The roses on the table was a nice touch. Everything tasted fresh. The service was friendly and attentive. It's a small area. And very inclusive. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The first plate is the Vegan Bee scrambled eggs wrapped in
spinach tortilla. The frosted water glasses were perfect. Second plate was The Malibu Scramble with whole grain toast. My 16 oz. Mellow Bee juice mix was a really nice surprise.“

“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊“
