48 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Brookline

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“My favorite, # 1 bakery in the Boston area. I've been coming here for years. Lots of, lots of love for this place and folks. ❤️❤️❤️🫶 Their breads and pastries are simply the best. It’s the kind of bread that takes you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen.

Over the years, they've gotten incredibly popular, and the lines now can be a bit much, especially on weekends or holidays. So I don’t stop by as often these days, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.“

“Not bad at all! Everything tasted good, although I wish the hand-cut noodles hadn’t been so uniform in their shape so I didn’t question their “hand” cut ness.
The beef scallion pancake was very nice, and thinly sliced scallion inside reminded me of Beijing duck flavors. It was quite sweet.
The pan fried buns were tasty, though maybe not the best I’ve had in Boston.
I would say that this restaurant has actually Chinese food, but seems very accessible and friendly to non-Chinese people who might be intimidated by anything too authentic.
Despite being quite full on Friday night, there was no wait for a table for 2.“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“Friendly service and amazing food! My daughter had the grilled organic chicken sandwich and I had the mixed greens and arugula salad-- both were delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, and several other servers double checked on us and greeted us as they walked by. We will definitely be back.“

“Bangers and mash were fabulous at this, new to me, lovely, Irish pub!“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

“Wonderful place with fresh and delicious food Good service One of my favorite spots to come to with my family or friends for lunch or dinner Variety of things to choose from Highly recommended“

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.“

“Amazing 10/10 recommend. $28/person AYCE for lunch Mon-Sun 11:30-4:30pm. The soup bases and options are delicious and I was FULL by the end. Excellent service and great sauce. This is gonna be my new go-to hot pot, can’t beat the price and location and quality.“

“Wonderful food and amazing service. We highly recommend the Washington Square Tavern. The best in the neighborhood!“

“We were able to walk in without a reservation at 5pm and sit at the bar (only a la carte offered at the bar). The food was fantastic. For 2ppl we ordered a bottle of soju, the large kimchi set, the small namul set, the scallop appetizer special, and the samgyetang. It was the perfect amount of food, and after tip it cost $98/person. As I was leaving another table got the galbi jjim and it smelled so good! I want to come back and have that.

The service was friendly and quick. We had a slight issue with the wrong entree, but they quickly fixed it.

One final note, as I'm scrolling through reviews, I find it interesting that almost all the Korean reviewers give this place 4 or 5 stars (myself included). That says something about the food and authenticity. Not saying everything is perfect (charging for banchan), but the flavors hit in the right way.“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel. The focus here is on the food!

Good quality fish, creative rolls, and efficient service. The price-to-value ratio can’t be beat. Tastes that much better with the reasonable prices. Note that you can tell the fish is not top-notch quality, but it hits all the right notes for an everyday sushi craving. Some rolls are more outstanding than others. My favorite so far was one that incorporated crunchy tempura bits into the minced tuna topping (forgot the name!).

We loved our recent visits so much that we’re getting platters from here for a holiday party. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a hit.“

“Excellent food and cocktails! Service was wonderful. The bartender, Bernie, is wonderful! She makes the best Old Fashion I have ever had. It’s a small neighborhood “hole in the wall” vibe. Definitely worth trying.“

“Great food, great prices, great service and bottomless great coffee at this diner-style cafe. You won’t find many of these around any more and this one is a treasure!“

“Came here after some Newburry street exploring. Only a 10 minute drive. The food was delicious, and fresh. The nachos were some of the best I've ever had along with the white queso.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be stopping by when I am in the area!“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Delicious ramen, fast efficient service.“

“Food is great. Tastes home cooked and made with love. Babaganoush is delicious, mixed grill plentiful, their kanafeh was my favorite. Kanafeh is small but so so crunchy and the ice cream on top makes it so much better. Lachmajun large for value“

“Delicious, fresh original pizza! Enjoyed every bite!“

“Third time here and it’s an absolute gem. The burger is consistently delicious and the beer selection is excellent.
Their service is on point and here’s why:

Brian M our server was on top of it on a busy Saturday night, quick and attentive, I noticed the price of my Buffalo Trace was different on the printed menu from the online menu, I didn’t mind the price difference bc I was happy to pay it (it was a great old fashioned) but after I pointed out the price difference…he thanked me for letting them know and comped my drink! It wasn’t necessary at all but I really appreciate that kind of response.
Secondly, I ordered the fish and chips, which is the best fish and chips I’ve ever had (shout out to the kitchen staff!) But the fish portion was a little small. I’m assuming the manager clocked it, came over and said that’s a small piece of fish let me get you another one. She came out with a piece of fish twice the size. That’s good service!
It’s cozy, quality and exactly what you want on a cold night or a hot day. Good people, great food and drinks. Thank you Publick House !“

“This was my first time going to Soup Shack and I was very impressed. It’s a small place, but the server was very kind and food came out pretty fast. The spicy miso beef ramen was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Overall, I think I will definitely visit again“

“As a Venezuelan I could say the place is charming and well designed and decorated with details that remind me of Venezuela, most of the food my son and I got last night was very good, the trio de empanadas divine... Shredded beef was delicious as one of the best I've had since I left Venezuela, black beans also very good, the cachapa super delicious but a little too cold for my liking. The only disappointment related towards the food we got unfortunately was the arepa, was very dry and it felt it was previously made and reheated... The tequeños were ok, not the best ones and I think they are overpriced. The service was confusing... When we enter the restaurant one of the guys looked at us like, what do you want!? He wasn't welcoming
But our server was attentive.
Definitely we would come back to try more dishes and get more empanadas!!“

“I got take out poke bowls and they were both really delicilious. I got my partner the ahi tuna bowl on salad. He said it was really tasty, but the salad was just big chunks of lettuce and not cut up quite right. That was the only negative remark. I got a build your own bowl with tofu and shrimp tempura with corn, seaweed salad, avocado, and edamame with spicy mayo. It was SO GOOD! The person behind the counter was so nice. I will absolutely be back often.
The inside might not look super fancy and what not, but it's worth the try.“

“The food is absolutely amazing, so fresh. 2nd visit and will definitely be back. The staff is so pleasant and I can’t say enough about the foods we tried. Can’t wait to go again at try a few more items on the menu.“

“One of my fav places in boston. Been here multiple times tried almost everything in the menu. Samguypsal bokkeum was superb. It's chewy with the spicy taste that makes me keep reaching for to another bite. Chicken katsu and jokbal so worth to try.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“It was our first time here. Sushi was great. Staff was also very pleasant. The restaurant itself was a very nice environment nice seating and lighting. The presentation of the sushi was amazing! It came in a beautifully designed boat steaming with dried ice and beautiful decorations! They had a pretty decent size menu. Absolutely going back.“

“Great food ! 🧡✨ quick responses“

“The kushi yaki beef is really good. Would recommend trying.

Tonkotsu ramen was fine, but didnt taste how I expected a tonkotsu ramen to taste. It tasted more like a vegetable pork soup. On the flip side, not too salty compares to other ramens so I drank a lot of it. Lastly, the egg tasted weird...it wasnt bad per say but I liked the eggs from other ramen places a lot better.

Overall solid place. Worth a try.“

“I've been coming here since the 90's. The perfect townie spot for excellent subs, sandwiches & pizza. The service is great and the food is always an A+. Pictured is a slice of buffalo chicken, Cuban panini, and a Lucy Goosey.

Their best sub is The Texan.“

“My first visit here. I had a dish where you make your own rice paper rolls with a protein. I had pork and it came with peanuts, carrots, watercress, cucumber, rice and a sweet mild fish sauce. It was delicious and fun. I didn't finish and for my to go box they included a fresh container of the dipping sauce so I was able to have the exact same thing again at home.“

“My partner and I eat here once or twice a month and last night’s meal was exceptionally good. They’re our local little sushi shop and we’ve found the rolls that are consistently good (spicy tuna and salmon/avocado), and we get a combo each and feel super happy with our soup, salad, roll, and drink for a good price :) service is also great“

“I was impressed with everything! It was my first time trying ramen that didn’t come from my house and after being skeptical for so long I actually loved it! The service was amazing, the food was delicious - I tried the spicy ramen with chicken … and I definitely will be going back soon!!“

“DECEMBER-FOOD IS STILL GOOD… DELIVERY HASN’T CHANGED ORDER ARRIVES HOT, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS STILL GOOD… STILL AROUND 60.00 FOR FIVE THINGS…

11/22/22:
I stopped here after an appointment in the area, first time here, so I didn’t know what to expect.

STAFF: Gentlemen at the counter didn’t mind answering my questions or altering my food order, he was very nice and no attitude, It’s an open kitchen: you can see the chefs do everything while you wait

FOOD: Crab Rangoon, Boneless Spareribs, White Shrimp Fried Rice, Beef Teriyaki, and Spring Roll: No complaints on anything. Everything was demolished. 🤣

PRICE: MANY OF THE APPS/ENTREES HAVE BOGO OPTIONS, WORTH TAKING ADVANTAGE OF.

I LIKE THIS PLACE. MAYBE YOU WILL TOO.

UPDATE: BEEF TERIYAKI: EXCELLENT
GENERAL GAUS CHICKEN: OVERCOOKED CHICKEN
CHICKEN FINGERS: GOOD

SAME OL’ ORDER OTHERWISE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ❤️ THIS PLACE… 🥰“

“Amazing food and prices! Burger has a great grill flavor that I can’t get enough of! 🤤“

“Nice! This pizza is so taste! I love the sauces and the cheeses! Crunchy crust to please the folks, I can taste touch hear feel see the cheeses! When BOLOCO is not on your taste pallet for the day, you go here“

“The shoyu 1910 was delicious. Broth just right, pork belly tender and juicy, and the noodles tasted fresh.“

“Used to come to this place after school here and there as a kid with my family, and as an adult I had not been back. Today we checked it out again, and it’s still just as delicious! Had the pastrami sub and the steak bomb to share with family, and the staff was really welcoming and accommodating. Food was quick, fresh, and hot. Happy to know it’s still a great spot we can count on to keep returning to! :)“

“It was delicious!! Indoor and outdoor dining and very pleasant waiter“

“We’ve been going to this Chinese food place for years. The reason is it’s higher quality that most other places around the food is quick to come out and the service is always great. They have a bathroom and it is accessible. The parking lot is huge and I’ve never seen it full so you have plenty of places to park you can enter through two roads. So it’s a quick In-N-Out. I’ve gotta say in all the years going there. I don’t think they’ve ever messed up my order although funny story back in the day when we went there years ago to eat inside which we used to do a lot I was cut off not from drinking alcohol but from drinking soda it’s a funny story that we still remember till this day. The guy was worried about my health and said three sodas is too much for you even back then when it was by the can and I was paying for each individual drink, but even eating inside is nice. They’ve always been very nice and accommodating.“

“We enjoyed our experience here. It was the perfect place to dine with our family, including our two young grandchildren. The menu was varied and everyone found meals they enjoyed. The kids' menu was great too. Our server was a kind young man.“

“Best Chinese and service around. It’s a staple for Chinese food— they’ve been around longer than I’ve been alive.
We’ve Have had birthdays here and a wedding first dance! Waitstaff is amazing - bartenders are awesome— true family atmosphere but elevated. Outside seating in the summer - amazing Chinese New Year celebration - don’t miss it.
Take out /delivery is amazing too!“

“Love Anna’s, it’s been a go-to quick-dinner spot for me for a couple of years now.

Tip: add the extra grilled veggies with your bowl/burrito, you get a lot for only $2ish extra!

They recently added loaded nachos on their menu that are also a great choice!“
