47 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.“

“This place has the best chocolate chip cookies in Boston to me. Even better than Levain’s in my opinion. When I lived in Nashua I used to get a dozen and bring them back home on occasion. That’s how good they are. I found out about them on Tik Tok and that’s why I came. I actually didn’t try anything else. Maybe I will go and try their other food. 5 stars though for the chocolate chip cookies.“

“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!“

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

“Excellent food and a very enjoyable meal at Kung Fu Kitchen! We tried several dishes and were very happy with everything we ordered.

The wonton soup was especially good. The wontons were large, with visible shrimp in each one, and the soup was loaded with fresh vegetables. Very satisfying and flavorful.

The chive pancake was another highlight—filled with chives, egg, glass noodles, and dried shrimp. It tasted authentic and was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the steamed and pan-fried dumplings.

The restaurant is clean, bright, and modern. Service wasn’t the greatest, but for this type of casual, fast-paced restaurant, it was totally acceptable.

Overall, the quality and authenticity of the food really impressed me. Definitely a 5/5, and I would happily come back!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Terrific food, more than my party of 5 could eat. Excellent service. Small quiet place. My choice for best restaurant in Brookline Village. BUT it can be a difficult reservation to get and you need to allow time for the courses, especially if you get the Top Line offering.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“We love coming here. Large dining area with plenty of seating. Flavors and portion size are great for the price. My favorite is the coconut shrimp specialty burrito. My daughter likes their Al pastor burrito. The quesadillas are great as well! Picture of my grandson holding our to go burrito :)“

“If you’re craving a hotpot experience that hits every single note this one is a must. From the moment you walk in, the space feels warm, elegant, and perfect for a cozy, indulgent meal.
The real star? The broths.
The Wild Mushroom is rich, earthy, and deeply comforting, while the Spicy Premium Beef Tallow brings that bold, numbing heat that hotpot lovers dream about.

What I loved:
✨ Premium selection of meats & fresh seafood
✨ Broths that are layered, flavorful, and unforgettable
✨ The staff — incredibly attentive and they actually craft your sauces for you (and trust me, they know what they’re doing… chef’s kiss)

Every bite feels like an experience from dipping perfectly sliced meats into bubbling broth to pairing it with those addictive house-made sauces.“

“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!“

“The food is alright, but some dishes were kind of bland, so I had to season it myself. The service was superb. We left a very nice tip. They have a huge selections of beer, which is great and a good atmosphere. I wish that the menu had better selection and all of the food was well seasoned. We will go there again.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I was craving raw salmon so much and this place gives me the most generous amount of salmon for my bowl🍣🩵🩵 Love the crunchy topping, mango topping, and EVERYTHING. Will come back to dine here again🩷

-Came back and tried the spicy seafood ramen. IT WAS SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend!“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Delicious ramen, fast efficient service.“

“After quickly sifting in and out of the other overly trendy Brookline Village restaurants the other day, we stumbled (again after 20 years) into Anatolia. Humble, unpretentious, tables filled with friends and families not glued to their phones, we were seated by a lively attentive and excellent waitress. The Anatolian red wine was excellent, the lemon rice soup a nice starter, I like the fried liver cubes (not for my non offal eating wife :/), and the the mantis- little dumplings with a lamb chunk served with yogurt utterly scrumptious. And the ground lamb kebab - it so outclasses the dry bland stuff in many Mediterranean style joints around Greater Boston. Finished with a delightfully light, flaky baklava with just a touch of sweetness and ground pistachios - a nice adult dessert finally! Not a showy place - solid home style cooking. Bring some friends and share lots of plates!“

“Omg best restaurant in greater Boston area. Hanna’s service was impeccable, made us feel so welcome and comfortable we can not wait to come back. The food was AMAZING, kimchi some of the best we’ve ever had, and the lychee sushi at the end was SO. GOOD. we WILL be back. Thank you for an amazing experience.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I honestly come here just for the bun bo hue and it's so yummy!! It may not contain the traditional ingredients, but the broth is amazing.

Service is great and the staff are kind. It's a small restaurant and I'm always surprised by their huge menu.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“nice place to go eat. it is fun“

“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.“

“While riding my unicycle and searching for a really good place to try some sushi my wheel pointed me into the direction of this great little hidden jewel. There's always room for improvement in any restaurant or environment of food services. I gave this blossom 5 stars across the board. Every aspect of service, presentation, courtesy, cleanliness, decorum, food freshness, quality, and I could keep going on. If they were to try and improve, it could possibly hurt them. They are just simply excellent. Thank you for the great experience. One wheel at a time 👍🏼.

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“I frequented here during my grade school and high school years. This was 20 years ago. I just wanted to mention that this place has greatly influenced me. I am in Malaysia now and i still think about the subs i get here. I hope everything is well and I hope i can come back to have another Italian sub again one day. Much love.“

“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… 🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“Zozo is a talented and skilled bartender. Made the most delicious spicy margaritas and her kind demeanor made the atmosphere easy-going. Thank you, Zozo, for your service - we appreciate you and your efforts! We’ll be back because of you!“

“Tacos are maybe like 3-4 bites in size.

Guajillo shrimp taco - pretty good
Chimichurri steak taco - alright
Steak taco - alright
Birria taco - pretty good
Al Pastor taco - a bit dry but good

Chicken ranchero - tasty and has a bit of kick
Grilled chicken - very plain and rather dry“
