50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Aspen Hill

“Authentic Latin American food truck. It looks like your basic gas station taco truck, but it is run by a nice elder lady who does all the cooking and it is FREAKING DELICIOUS! An amazing surprise and consistently good (I've been back to try more things and make sure the repeat food was just as good and it was!). I honestly was shocked by how good it was and brought dinner home for my family the second time. It was also inexpensive, but CASH ONLY! Don't miss that step, cash only, but inexpensive and delicious!!! I would be willing to pay 50% more. And the food itself is delicious. I've had the steak burrito spicy, highly reccomend it, and the chicken quesadilla (also highly reccomend but the burrito is my favorite so far). Note, the photos I've posted are mostly eaten, I couldn't help myself and didn't think about it!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“Food was really good and the staff were very friendly. Curries were very good! My dad went three times last year and then returned twice this summer as he loved it so much.
Curry spice is done as as you like it.
Meals are very filling and worth the money.
Convenient as it is right beside the metro station and open 11am to 10pm.“

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Medium Rare features steak frites (or mushrooms with frites) and some desserts- that's it.

The price is appropriate- you get nice, crusty bread, salad, and 2 helpings of steak frites.

The food quality is good. However, one must be partial to mustard because the salad dressing is extremely mustard forward, and so is the gravy on the steak frites.

It's a cute concept and the ambiance reflects this. Some cheeky art alongside the children's drawings up on the walls. The restrooms refer to Pepe and Penelope from Loony Tunes and in the ladies room one can listen (and perhaps learn) some flirty French phrases.

The service was a mixed bag. Our main server wasn't very engaged with our table. Despite the fact that we had gift bags on the table (perhaps a clue that we were celebrating a birthday) she didn't ask whether we were celebrating. I had also marked the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but that wasn't acknowledged at all. Other tables were celebrated while we were dining, so I guess those patrons directly asked for the celebratory gesture of a sparkler in their sundae/cake.

Our server also wasn't too interested in keeping our beverages full, or in bringing extra hot fudge when we asked for it with our sundae.

However, our steak did arrive at the right temperature for each of us, and they brought the steak frites refills at the EXACT perfect timing (and the refills were hot and perfect).

Medium Rare is a fun restaurant with good food at a good price- we'll return.“

“Salomon provided absolutely amazing service from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better with his recommendation. He suggested the cheesesteak, and it was incredible—easily one of the best I’ve had. His knowledge of the menu and excellent customer service really stood out. Salomon went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and his recommendation did not disappoint. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“It is actually fully vegan!!! I’ve been vegan for almost a year and I am also Chinese, born and raised in China. I can testify that the cooking is great and the ingredients are fresh. Please order “three cup duck” as I just couldn’t get enough of it, and the basil in it is a special Chinese basil that you won’t find in a regular market in America!

P.S. the environment is so clean and peaceful. Unlike many hyped up plant-based restaurants, this place is lowkey but genuine. You get what you paid for! The service is very efficient, observative, and introvert-friendly:) you don’t need to chat/signal too much to get noticed about your needs.“

“Our order came to us like a beautiful piece of artwork on canvas! Everything we tried was excellent - dino rib (stand out), wagyu brisket, pastrami brisket (which is a specials!) and sides! Service was friendly and lovely and everyone is clearly so proud of their food. And parking is ample and free, what more do you need to convince you to come and try!“

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Hitching Post DC. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, mac & cheese, collard greens. The lamb chops are in my top 2 of the best I've ever tasted. I don't normally order mac & cheese when I go out to a restaurant, but this order was perfect as well. The collard greens could use a little vinegar, however, they were still delicious. I will definitely dine there in the near future. The lemon cake had was flavorful, moist and delicious, too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items“

“This was such a lovely dinner! We came to celebrate my dad’s birthday and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with a little dessert and a candle. They were so sweet and all smiles the whole dinner. Prices were more than reasonable and we enjoyed everything we ate! Highly recommend! Our server was Carson, btw—super kind!“

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

“i love this place! Great vibes, such a wonderful aura. Eli took care of my party's every need. So professional! 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“Delicious food and excellent quality! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to help me stay on track with my calorie-counting diet and made sure I was meeting my protein goals. Great customer service and healthy options—I highly recommend this place!“

“Drinks and food is great!“

“Chicken kaarage was the star, battered nicely and crisped to perfection. The yuzu mayo was bright and creamy and paired perfectly with the chicken. The spicy ramen was ok, I ordered extra mushroom and thought the noodles were well cooked. The broth was very rich but felt like it was lacking some acidity to cut through the fattiness. We got in line around 4 pm on a Friday and were the second party to be seated, and the line started to grow quickly around 4:30“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“Delicious breakfast, amazing service and family owned, can’t say enough great things about this diner! We look forward to the food and community every week!“

“ERIC is the man! He makes the best salads. My husband comes here about once a week and he is always happy to see Eric working because he does the best salad chopping and makes sure every customer he serves is happy with their bowl. We came in tonight for 3 salads and surprise Eric was working. We hope everyone gets to experience a salad made by Eric we appreciate him more than he knows.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“I love this place with all my heart.“

“Cristian and Tanika took great care of my Husband and I on his birthday. It was our first time here and the food was quick, fresh, delicious! The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We chose to dine in and I am glad that we did. Cristian was an absolute sweetheart and was very patient with us. Tanika was amazing and a great host and was very knowledgeable with a kind spirit. I am only coming to the Riverdale location from now on. Thanks team!“

“Always the best food and the family that runs this restaurant is amazing. We like going places where you feel appreciated as a customer.“

“Really loved the okra, eggplant and chicken (the first one under the chef special). It’s hard to find “dry” bhindi like this. Cant wait to come back and try more. Also they were very knowledgeable about gluten free- plenty of options!“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“I went here today with my parents and older brother, the place is very clean and welcoming. We didn't have to wait at all to be seated since the place was empty. I ordered the pho with steak and brisket, along with the Booboo's milk tea. The pho didn't have an overwhelming taste, it's taste was very delicious and not that strong. For the milk tea, the tea wasn't that sweet nor that bitter, it was more in the middle. The tapioca pearls weren't that chewy or soft, it was okay at best. Overall, I definitely will be going here again. It's a hidden gem in the Gaithersburg area and definitely should have more people know about it!“

“Timber has fantastic pizza and great people! I end up there for lunch almost every Friday.“

“This is my all-time favorite place for Italian spaghetti. Excellent food. The servers are the best. If you drive anywhere near this place you should be sure to stop in!“

“Great menu of food and drinks, well executed, and in a neighborhood locale… well-spaced outdoor seating.“

“Came here on the day after July 4, the wait-list seemed long but they went by fast! Service was quick and professional. Food is good as usual (I've been to other locations before).

I remember hearing about the lines to eat here so get take out“

“I’ve been coming to Stained Glass Pub for years, and it never misses. It is my absolute go-to spot for bringing friends and family who haven’t experienced it yet, every single time, they end up raving about the food. You can always count on a great pizza here. Highly recommend!“

“Malaysian restaurants are hard to come by so when we came across the Satay Club on our trip to Washington, we just had to try their chicken satay with peanut sauce, roti canai and char kway teow. We were not disappointed and highly recommend these dishes. Service was good and efficient, the environment was pleasant and comfortable.“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“

“Born and raised in Chevy Chase. I had never been to Persimmon until last night. WOW!!!! Probably the most consistent delicious food, exceptional service, I have EVER experienced. The service besides being attentive was so gracious, loyal sky and accommodating. Not one iota of attitude ever. Each person was so helpful so genuinely gracious. There were 7 of us. The flow was smooth, timed perfectly. Each person knew exactly what we needed before we even thought about asking. And the food... SPECTACULAR!! Scallops, mussels, oysters, spring rolls, halibut, and even grilled chicken (which I never order out because I cook it all the time) was absolutely incredible! Persimmon is my new favorite restaurant. Houston's,(Woodmont Grill.) was my absolute go to because of the consistency and the service and the food. Persimmon has jumped, leaps and bound to the top of that list even if Houston's were still in business, persimmon is now my new go to. I cannot wait to come back time after time and try everything on the menu. Thank you, thank you thank you to everyone for making our night special, it was my husband 62nd birthday his 99-year-old mom was there we brought our own cake and it was just the most magical night because of the food the drink the service the atmosphere. It was incredible will be back!“
