50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Woodside

“Great food and even better service! The Buck Breakfast had some much flavor and there are options to substitute your eggs and sausage for vegan alternatives. The Huevos Rancheros was a hearty made to order meal. You can definitely taste fresh quality ingredients. Our server was very attentive and friendly.“

“People don’t just come here for the food — they come for the culture. The parking lot alone is a show. You’ll see some seriously fancy cars and motorbikes lined up like an unofficial exhibition. Somehow this rustic old farmhouse has become a gathering spot for car lovers, and it adds to the whole experience.

The space itself is full of old-world charm — huge dining areas spread around the wooden house and spacious outdoor area in multiple “tents”. I personally love that worn, wooden, cozy vibe.

Food-wise, it’s classic American comfort done right. Everything tastes fresh and authentically made with care. My tuna melt was toasted perfectly golden brown on the outside and generously filled inside — simple but amazing. Bonus: it’s dog-friendly, so our dog babies can join too.

Definitely a place you go for the full experience.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“I don’t think I’ve ever come here and been unsatisfied with the food or service. Every time I do come in, I wonder why I haven’t come more often. Food is consistently amazing, service is surprisingly great for an order ahead type restaurant, and it’s an overall quick dining experience.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time here, fairly busy. Lots of free parking. There were a few employees, but they aren't greeting anyone who walked in. Not sure if they take orders in person, but there are kiosks to order your food & they are easy to use for ordering. The food is good, made to order. We had to clean our own table, I didn't see any employees cleaning tables, they should work on that because it was busy. This place is open late night, I think 3AM some nights. You can eat inside or outside, there's heaters outside. And a bathroom for customers.“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“We had a fantastic dining experience here recently! If you are looking for a spot that strikes the perfect balance between a sophisticated wine selection and a diverse, food menu, this is it. The food quality remained consistently good across appetizers and entrees. The menu offered a great range of options, ensuring everyone at the table found something they loved.“

“I found this bakery when I was looking for a place to purchase alfajores and I was so happy to have found it! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my first visit was nothing but a very nice experience. Two young men behind the counter seemed really friendly and helpful. The other customers in the store at the time seemed very happy. I came for alfajores today, but I will definitely go back for more alfajores and other goodies!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“Iced matcha was not strong enough, so I will try hot matcha next time. Also iced strawberry matcha is nice. They made my order wrong at first (matcha instead of strawberry matcha) so they gave me the matcha for free—super kind, thanks!

Line is long but fast, and seating may not look available at first but it cleared up for me. Love the vibe and furniture.“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“This is actually my third or fourth visit here. I have recently enjoyed the fiesta bowl with Bistec(Steak) and a fiesta bowl with Milanesa de Pollo (Breaded chicken). Both were very good. They have a good amount of sauces available to add on to your meals and the staff are always happy to help.“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Everything! It's a flawless dining experience.“

“As usual, Ramen Nagi has a long wait. Sometimes there are lulls in the line, which is when I happened to get in. The line is outside, so be prepared for the weather. When you get close to the front, they give you a sheet to fill out on what you want. I got the squid ink with everything the usual except with lower sodium and a 4 on spice. I should have asked for more spice, 4 was not that spicy! I also like the thick noodles, the thin ones are a little too thin. The meat on the top of the squid ink ramen was scrumptious!!

The service, once they get you seated, is super fast. I added the bean sprouts from the table to mine! We also split a chicken kaarage, which was yummy. I had enough to take home a little in a too go box!“

“This is a lovely space at the hotel....comfortable seating. The musician on the night we were there was fabulous - he played the guitar, harp,etc. Very talented and lovely to listen to. We were a party of 6. All salads were excellent and interesting. Chicken entree was very good - tender and moist. 2 people got the mixed lamb grill - one person thought it was very good, the other person thought the flavors were nice but the meat was very tough. One person got the black cod and said it was excellent. 2 people got the steak and said it was extremely tough. Unfortunately for us, we were there on a night when there was an event going on right next door and once the meeting broke up and people began to socialize, it was extremely loud and difficult to carry on a conversation.“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“Food is incredible and so filling. Highly recommend the salmon and shrimp kebabs. My friend Sam chose this place and we had a great time!

There’s tons of indoor seating, and the restaurant vibe is great for friends or families. It can get a bit loud if you’re going at a peak time.

They bring pita out in the beginning (free app). Service is quick and servers are friendly/kind.
There’s parking in the back.

What else could you ask for?“

“Excellent food every time we have been… will be back. Everything is great on their menu. 🥰 Tonight we had guest from Montreal, celebrated Mother’s Day and our 23rd Wedding Anniversary! We couldn’t be happier to eat at Vespucci. Manuela and Francesco feel like my southern Italian family. Warm, welcoming, good food and wine and genuine conversation. Love them.“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“I have to say, I’ve had quite a journey when it comes to my opinion of this place.

The fact of the matter is that I have found the following to hold true:

1. Redwood City is far away from everything
2. The parking situation is abysmal
3. There is never a table ready when you get there
4. The food is expensive

For these reasons I used to avoid going there- not because of the food quality but it wasn’t worth going there in lieu all these things.

That being said, their meat is great, the vibes are great, and their service is great. Their beef kofta is sublime, and I have to say their falafel isn’t too bad either. They also have a pretty good frozen date juice that I enjoyed.

If you don’t mind the 4 things I listed (I am personally starting to care less and less about them in lieu of the amazing food), definitely go. This is probably the best Arab food I’ve had in the Bay Area.“

“New York Pizza in Palo Alto is, in my opinion, the best pizza in the Bay Area. The taste of their pizzas is absolutely delightful, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff is just amazing, so attentive, friendly, and always ready to serve and make sure you’re satisfied. I love dining in, but their delivery service is also fantastic. It’s a treat every single time! Thank you for everything!“

“Best pizza in the Bay Area!“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“We love this place! Saffron offers the best North Indian food in the area (San Carlos / San Mateo) in a warm, welcoming setting.

The food quality is top-notch; our favorites include Lahsooni Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and the Aloo Kulcha on the weekend brunch menu. Parking can be a bit tough especially on weekend evenings, but it's worth it!“
