50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Crystal

“Twin Cities Purdue Alumni Club basketball game watch. Great food and atmosphere. Server was exceptional with a large group, different tabs.“

“LOVED it from the first time I had it when she was on University in St. Paul. I refuse to eat any other seafood boil in MN. Owner is an extremely sweet woman and makes your experience amazing!“

“It has been a while since coming here under the new Ownership. I am glad I chose to reinvestgate. I ordered the Sothern fried steak, which came with hash browns and toast with coffee and water. The steak and gravy was one of the best I have ever had. The hash browns were good yet could have been browned a little more. The coffee was rich and did the job. Our Server was prompt and tentative. Great attitude. The price was an expected value, especially with the Senior discount. I am already planning a return trip to try some of their South American cuisine. I recommend giving this quiet place a try.“

“I've been coming here 20 plus years, a few things you should know. This is a family restaurant, meaning a child might take your order and a child might take your plates and or wipe down your table. Meaning they have low overhead and you're not going to find better buffet prices. The selection is adequate, I like the chicken on a stick, the fried chicken is excellent, the other dishes are okay standard buffet fare. It's better to have a few things done well than a large selection done sub-par like some larger places. Find three dishes you like and it's well worth it. They have some fruit, a little soft serve ice cream machine for dessert. What more could you want...“

“So many memories, so many good meals“

“The staff are incredible and the food is outstanding I've never had anything like it, not to mention the bar is so gorgeous I could look at it forever. My husband and I have been here three times and we will be back again, soon I hope! This is the perfect spot wether you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or just want to try incredible food some place new! I will be back soon with my mom just because I think it's so magical everyone must experience it. Bûcheron is a must!“

“10/10“

“She was very nice“

“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“My husband and I had a splendid lunch date at the Himalayan Restaurant. The seating outdoors is so beautiful and is decorated with many flowers. The atmosphere inside for lunch was quite peaceful, which is my ideal type of restaurant.
We ordered dumplings as an appetizer. My husband enjoyed the extra spicy sauce. I liked the sauce with tomatoes and spices.
The main courses are made to the spice level you prefer. The chicken tikka masala and the mixed curry were absolutely delicious. The naan was seasoned well with garlic and herbs. The white and brown rice were fluffy and cooked perfectly as well.
We are hoping to eat here again soon. Highly recommend!
Thank you!“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“The soup was exceptionally tasty. I would definitely return.“

“What a great place. Our waiter Ramesh walked us thru the menu pointing out his favorites and that you can order how spicy you want yours. My fav was the Chicken Tiki Masala! Be sure to order the Naan bread basket assortment. Fantastic food and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend this place.“

“Visited the St Louis Park location, having been a fan of the original Excelsior location. Had the happy hour Margarita’s, Tacos (carnitas, steak & potato), and a spicy chicken salad. All were good, along with chips & queso. A good addition to that area.“

“My wife and myself had the lucky experience of passing briefly through Minneapolis, and decided to try this AMAZING AND TRUE GEM !!!! I am from Lima and we have been able to eat on many great places that serve our delicious food, both in Lima and in the US. To say it simply: K’ikinaco is easily our #1 restaurant, period. There, here, anywhere!! Congratulations friends !! Patricia and Enrique RP. (Arriba Alianza tocayo !!)“

“This place is amazing! They do not disappoint. We come here all the time before Vikings games! Chao!“

“Shout out to Christos Greek Restaurant and love to Gus, a truly amazing person who has kept this wonderful landmark alive and well for so many years! We have never had more delicious food anywhere! My choice was the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection, so tender it fell off the bone and didn't need a knife. Dessert for me was the mousse au chocolat (always) and having tried it at every restaurant that offers it, Christos will never be outdone. It should be mentioned that the salads are always made with what our daughter calls "happy veggies," always fresh and beautiful! the soups are all wonderfully special and "home made" as well. No one comes even close to the love and care that goes into this dining piece of heaven. Enjoying your delectable meal at Christos feels as good as a warm hug from your mom. Salut to happy tummies! :)“

“We picked up 3 pizzas from here during a hockey tournament. I was very confused about which location was closest to our hotel and they were so patient and helpful. The pizzas were delicious, great crust! We'd order from here if we're ever close to a Tono again.“

“No place like it. Have been going since I was 12. Best blueberry pancakes in the world“

“Super fried chicken sandwich. Great front of house service and great bartender. My wine also delicious. Easy to eat on your own here. Thanks!“

“AMAZING SERVICE, WONDERFUL atmosphere, well priced, FANTASTIC FLAVORS, serving portions as expected for tapas. Two of us ordered about 8 dishes and shared gor dinner, we were stuffed - could have had only 6 but wanted to try so many bcuz they were so tempting by descriptions, and they met all expectations!! They accommodated our dietary restrictions without hassle. If we lived here, we'd be regulars!!“

“wife and I drove 6 hours to eat here. we have made the trip multiple times over the years. came in Wednesday early afternoon and got great service. I wish I could remember her name, I would give her 5 stars. love coal fired pizza.“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁“

“Amazing, welcoming people with top-notch food. We have been going since opening day and have never been disappointed. Try the fish. 😀“

“This was the best discovery ever! Looks dark from the outside, but is GREAT from the inside. The bulgogi beef and the short ribs were the best we ever tried! (The fish pancake was not very good though) and the service was better than at home hahaha“

“came to eat dinner with friends. it was a 10/10, it was a wonderful experience. the staff was friendly and the food was delicious.“

“What a wonderful place. Staff are so kind/friendly. The food is out of this world!!!! Thank you for the kindness, and hospitality. Great Atmosphere“

“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️“

“The New Years eve night was absolutely the best. The food, service and atmosphere was great. We loved it!!!“

“I finally made it to Matt’s bar to check out the “Original” Jucy Lucy. Hamburger was great, as expected. Fries were shoestring and were perfect and delicious. Service was great. I went on a Monday afternoon and we sat down right away and were eating in about 20 minutes.

This really is more of a restaurant now. Because of the food, there is a LOT of turnover and it’s mostly food tourists. Even on a Monday. IDK if the kitchen closes, but maybe it turns more into a bar after that. The signs posted everywhere basically say “Others are waiting to be seated”. While there wasn’t a line when we were there, I’m sure there is when it’s weekend busy.

Good prices. They could be charging much more based on demand.

Lastly, cash only. There is an ATM on site with a $2 charge if you forget.

Great food served fast and great service. Thanks!“

“Awesomeness people awesomeness food. I love the young Viet people there. Am from Canada.“

“We recently ate here for the first time. Enjoyed it so much we came back. Food was delicious and wait staff was exceptional. Will definitely be back. Patio seating is great; unfortunately there was a small dog here the second time that was a barker!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“first time here. the employees are very friendly. The food is outstanding! definitely give it a try!“

“My favorite pizza in the Cities. I usually stick with the Old Reliable because it's a fantastic classic, and their seasonal vegetable and/or the cauliflower. The budino is delightfully chocolatey, rich and not too sweet. Staff are friendly and efficient, and it's fun to sit at the bar to see the food get made. The patio is also very cute, especially at night.“

“Delicious entrees and desserts! The service was wonderful as well!“

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.“

“My husband and I come here every Valentines Day. We love the seafood, the prices, the beer. I can't get over the fish soup which, with bread, makes a very satisfying winter night meal.“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“Thank you for superb service and wonderful food. Best lasagna I have ever had!“

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“Great local restaurant! If you stop by make sure to do the patio seating - it is open year round! The patio is also dog friendly!

The staff are very helpful, fun, and friendly!

Their menu has some amazing options and the food is delicious!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu (as everyone recommended) and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried three different soup base options with loads of fresh veggies, and everything was delicious, but my favorite by far was the spicy Szechuan base — rich, bold, and just the right amount of heat. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. They confirmed the peanut sauce is vegan, but the Thai chili sauce contains fish sauce, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere is cozy with low lighting — perfect for warming up on a cold Minneapolis day or for a relaxed date night. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town!“
