46 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Hackensack

“Courteous, family run business! Their sauce is made fresh, everyday. And it tastes like it! Wow! I've been to so many different acidy sauce "heartburn" pizzerias, throughout the Bergen County area, and I always need Alkaseltzer, after eating their burned sauced foods. It's terrible, how they reheat and overcook their sauce. But, not this one! This place is the best! By far! Absolutely no heartburn! I have tried many menu items, too. I've been frequently going there, over a year now. Their food is more in the lines of what you'd expect to taste at a fine Italian restaurant. Certainly, not a common pizzeria. Pricing is great, too! This place and the staff of employees, along with the new owner and his kids, deserve every bit of (5) stars! The absolute best around!“

“Had an amazing experience at this PF Changs, our server Greg was extremely attentive and friendly. Love it here! Make sure to get the crab wontons as an app:)“

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!“

“Good food, atmosphere, and drinks. Their empanada were very good, I like their spicy sauce, but if you are a bit more timid, mix the spicy with the mild for a great spice with a kick.“

“Is there anything as comforting on a cold night as slurping thin rice noodles from a rich, deep, stewed-for-hours broth? Others might disagree, but it was what my taste buds were screaming for on a recent blustering cold night. My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant, and the short version of this review is that we not only satisfied my cravings, but I think we've found our favorite Vietnamese spot in the area.

I was bemused by the way they display comically oversized versions of their menu at every table. What I initially considered to be somewhat gimmicky turned out to be quite convenient since everyone at the table was simultaneously viewing the same menu while discussing ordering options.

I love how quickly the food gets to your table at Vietnamese restaurants, and Pho Saigon is no exception. Our crispy spring rolls arrived mere minutes after ordering, and they were everything I'd want from a good fried appetizer - meaty, flavorful, and hot enough to do some of those open-mouthed dragon breaths after your first bite. My beef pho was also fantastic, with the broth perfectly redolent of all the spices that imparted their flavors. But I was most impressed with my husband's chicken vermicelli bowl. The meat was beautifully seasoned and, once mixed with the supplied sauce, made for a light and refreshing meal. It'll definitely be my next order when I'm here (and, if it weren't already clear enough, I'm most certainly going be back for more).

Service is polite and blazingly efficient. If you're in the area and cursed with the craving for solid Vietnamese food, don't miss this restaurant.“

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.“

“Everything about Maggiano's is awesome; nothing bad... my son comes here at least once a week.“

“Home of arguably the best wings on planet Earth… and this is coming from a wing snob. The wings are consistently a general size, and always incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The K-Ramen is nice and spicy and delicious! Michin dumplings are a go to dish. The bulgogi and bibimbap and perfectly seasoned, and very tender.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chit Chat Diner – Hackensack, NJ

Chit Chat Diner is the perfect late-night spot, open 24 hours with an endless menu to satisfy all your cravings! We tried the quesadillas and the Sampler, and both were hits. The quesadillas were deliciously cheesy, and the Sampler was full of fun bites. The mozzarella sticks were piping hot and fresh, but the fries were a bit cold—just a tiny hiccup. The chicken tenders were juicy, and the sauces? A total game-changer! A real "star" quality with these "little dippers".

Service was spot-on, and the atmosphere has charming McKinsey Childs decor that's inviting while feeling warm and cozy. It’s no wonder this place has been crowned the best diner in New Jersey! I’ll definitely be back the next time those late-night cravings hit. ?“

“First time going in tonight I was feigning for pizza all day needed a good place this place was only 3 minutes away from me first time ever ordering and I love the pizza loved the pizza guy which I’m sure is the owner the young beautiful lady at the counter is also great! I appreciate the amazing services the best part walking inside that place made me feel like I was back in the 80s & 90s will definitely go again

“I highly recommend people try out their cupcakes, shortbread cookies, strawberry shortcake, and their cakes. Delicious and Satisfying💯😋😋You will get you moneys worth.“

“Everything was perfect. small place but big quality.👏🏻👌🏻.“

“A delicious Thai experience! The food is soulful and comforting.

Starting with drinks - the Thai iced tea was made with a perfect ratio, so it wasn’t too sweet, and it was refreshingly fragrant.
The lychee martini was aromatic, and strong.

Anytime I see curry puffs on a menu, it’s an immediate must, and these were definitely worth a try. The dough was crispy on the outside, without being greasy, and the filling was very flavorful.

Moving on to the sticky rice with mango. The ripe mango was juicy and sweet which complimented the glutinous rice perfectly.

The waiter suggested the pad thai, one of their most popular dishes, and after trying it I understood why. I also appreciate that you could choose your spice level.

I couldn’t leave without having my favorite curry, Massamon, the spices married to create a piquant dish. I never had avocado served on top of hot curry, but instead of the texture throwing me off I actually enjoyed the creamy aspect. The shrimp was fresh, and cooked well. My only complaint would be that the potatoes were severely undercooked, which was disappointing because I love a soft potato that has soaked up the curry.

Can’t wait to be back and try more dishes:)“

“Delicious food and great service 😊“

“This restaurant serve tender meats made it in the grill, perfectly seasoned, they called kebah, I ordered the mixed grill for one person, they also have for 2 persons, i recommend the turkish coffee, the pocion is small in a small cup, but that's the way it should be, is bold and perfect, for my wife I ordered the chicken kebah, she enjoyed, she is saying she will come back to eat again, i also ordered a mixed grill to go fir my son and my daughter, the tables are elegant and clean.“

“I ordered the lobster bisque cause I was curious and it was so yummy. For my main course I had the rack of lamb 😋 let me say OMG!! DELICIOUS 🤤 The best I ever had ❤️ The staff was great, and I LOVE our waiter Anthony ❤️🫶 his vibe was very infectious and he was excellent 😁😁“

“This is DA best hamburgers EVER!“

“Some pieces of dough in breadsticks and pizza crust surprisingly contained sugar, so they tasted sweet. I could understand slightly salty, but sweet??
I always loved Brooklyn Pizza and it's link to the GREAT Grimaldi heritage. You'd never taste sugar at Grimaldi. Hopefully it is a one time spill/fluke.“

“Muy buena comida y excelente servicio“

“Seriously the best pizza I’ve tried in NJ! Friend recommended the place and went on a whim. Ordered the margarita and pepperoni and holy moly, so simple and tasty. The crust is so crispy and delicious and I literally ate every bite. Definitely coming again!“

“We eat at Hot Fish quite often, and usually order the same dishes. I was lucky enough to be their "Tasting Panel Foodie" winner, and was invited to try some different items from the menu. If you want to indulge in an unforgettable gastronomic experience, you have to try the Fresh Striped Bass. I ordered it with spicy sauce, but there are six different flavors to chose from. We also ordered the Sliced Beef with Black Pepper. The beef was so tender and juicy, paired with onions and bell peppers in a savory, black pepper sauce. Then we ordered Dry Pot Cabbage, a mouth-watering Sichuan dish that you have to try. For our last course, we had the Yang Chow Fried Rice, the best I have ever tasted. Thank you, Hot Fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and the staff and service were exceptional. I highly recommend dining here when you are looking for a great Sichuan experience.“

“Love this pizzeria, never a disappointment and my go to. ❤“

“Great hidden spot for some authentic Colombian food. They have three (3) different dishes of the typical Colombian plate: Bandeja Paisa. Also, it is a BYOB. There is parking onsite. I have not had a bad time here. Everything is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommended.“

“Tried Galapagos Ecuadorian Restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved it! It was my first time tasting Ecuadorian cuisine, and everything was delicious. The flavors were rich and comforting, and the portions were huge—definitely come hungry! A great spot if you’re up for something new and satisfying. Will be back to try more!“

“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!“

“best bbq in Only In New Jersey😍“

“The food is very good at this place A very quick easy meal“

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“We absolutely love this place! We’d been wanting to visit for a while, but since most of my hospital appointments were in the mornings, we hadn’t had the chance until now. It was well worth the wait—the jerk chicken and sides were incredible, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with great music and an inviting ambience. On top of that, the lady who helped us was wonderfully pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!“

“As Indian Vegetarians, we absolutely love this place. They explain everything on the menu very sweetly.

Be sure to get:
- bibambap in hot stone bowl with tofu option
- tofu soup with ramen (be sure to mention “vegetarian broth” so they don’t use the beef broth)

Overall highly recommend. Very vegetarian friendly“

“Service is super fast! Dana(i think) and a guy (didn't get his name ) were fast and friendly. Food is AMAZING get the fries they are so good. They were pretty busy and we didn't wait at all for anything, they also have a great outdoor space. Thanks for a really fun night!!!! We will definitely be back for Monday bike night.“

“This place is part of my life. I would give 5 stars for food, but it's not a ritzy restaurant. They make VERY tasty classic pizza. I grew up in Fort Lee, NJ and was spoiled there because the pizza was excellent. Old-style. They have the pineapple and stufflike that..not my thing. LOOK at the MENU! Far more than pizza. I have been ordering food from them for over a decade. ONCE, I think..my delivery took too long. I have eaten there also several times over the years. I used to live around the corner. Never once got anything but friendly service. I scoffed at some of the reviews. Not every customer is smart or polite. haha Great folks Great FOOD! Hi buddy!“

“It's a little bit of a shady neighborhood in the evening and parking is sparse, but the food is very good and worth checking out. No dine in. Strictly take out.

Parking: You have to circle around to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: No real access for a wheelchair.“

“oh my gosh !!! Ever since I moved here and I decided to buy from a random Chinese place I never went back to another one ever again after I tried their food here😊. I usually order delivery and they come with in minutes and would always have amazing piping hot foooood that be so good every single time!!! The workers r so sweet also and was so respectful. Im so glad i was able to find a Chinese spot like this and i hope they continue to thrive in this amazing place they created :)“

“Our go to Chinese food place for 30 years. Probably not the best Chinese food on Earth but damn good, consistently. Sometimes I think I forget how good this place is when I go to some other place and the food is greasy and just not up to par. Really I highly recommend if you're just looking for some quick Chinese food you can't go wrong“

“Hoy es nuestro aniversario and nothing better to indulge ourselves!!!-my wife and I had a great time at Rosa Mexico specially with Margaritas and Guacamole made by Kevin Quito at the River side Square Hackensack NJ“

“This Thai food place have far exceeded my initial expectation. This is perhaps my new favorite Thai food place in NJ. At first, I thought this was just a regular/average Thai food take out restaurant at a grocery store or shopping plaza. But I was wrong. The Thai food here seems to be more authentic rather than localized, which I quite enjoy. As for the service, it's great. The gentlemen who takes order at the front is always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to those who are just looking for some solid Thai food at a good value.“

“5 plus stars. I just had my 45th bash there. was unbelievable!“

“Not enough stars for our waiter Damien! Best waiter ever 🤩 He anticipated our every need! Damien welcomed us (and everyone) with a gracious and cheerful welcome. We loved him. AND the food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I went to enjoy a tasty veggie burger my sister bragged about. She was right. It is delicious. Houston’s veggie burger appears to be prepared in-house versus a plain frozen patty. My mom enjoyed their trout… yummy! The presentation of the food was great (see pics). The service was excellent, professional, and friendly. It appeared that all staff were happy to help even though we were not their table. We appreciated the great service. The restaurant is beautiful with a very relaxing atmosphere. I’m am looking forward to going back… and it is not just for the wonderful key lime pie… though it has a lot to do with it!“

“First time here... won't be my last! Food is fresh. The staff is very nice. Orders come out quickly. Ate here with the family and they all enjoyed it.Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel is how I rate these places... I know that's simple... but they did it very well.

Parking: Tons of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid options... even for picky eaters.

Wheelchair accessibility: No curbs to go over. Seating options are available.“

“Absolutely The Best Caribbean Food In Bergen Co.!!!“

“I'm 67 years old now but when I was 9 years old my mom was a waitress at the Lido. Frank and Ellen were the original owners at the time and I would go to their house and play with their kids. I used to drive the cooks crazy, I'd walk into the kitchen and watch them cook. I used to dance in front of the mirror in the lady's room. I would sit at the bar and bug the bartender for maraschino cherries. Wonderful memories and I'm so glad to see that the Lido is still there serving the same food they did 60 years ago! Family atmosphere, great memories.“

“I read the reviews before going, honestly some of them turned me off. However, when I went I was greeted by the nicest young lady ever and the service and food was fantastic. I would recommend The Coachdiner to anyone. The place is beautiful and the staff and food is amazing. Thanks Kim and Keisha, we are coming back“

“First off I won't knock the food. It is pretty good. I'm a regular there, the one thing is I eat the same thing pretty much every morning. Why is the amount different almost every day? Please, please charge the same amount daily. Please.“

“the food is awesome and the owner's are great people give them 5 stars!!!!“
