50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jersey City

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“I read a lot of wonderful reviews about this place, but may be it hasn’t quite disappointed but at the same time I couldn’t find myself raving about it.

It is okay for what is is, although it could really have been great if it tried harder, both with food volume and taste.“

“Amazing experience! One of the best vegan entrees I’ve had in a long time“

“Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.

Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.

Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.

Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.

Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though“

“Seeing Buddy’s from a tik tok made me skeptical but best Brunch I’ve had in a long time!
Chicken and Waffles best I’ve had to date! The seasonal pancakes were Cinnabon inspired and didn’t need a drop of syrup.
Definitely my go to Brunch spot going forward“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world“

“The food is very good - some curries you won't find elsewhere and at the bar they have Indian spirits that are hard to find around here. A lot of unique flavors that are not spicy. The lunch special is fantastic though shrinkflation has crept in. Service can be slow.“

“Nice outdoor patio, good food, great location.“

“Absolutely lovely place, super nice crew and good food! It’s a great place in all the senses!“

“🇮🇹Lovely place, delicious food, good prices, great customer service!💚❤️“

“Subia’s is a cute vegan spot right off of Jersey Ave. I came here not knowing what I wanted for dinner. I chose Subia’s burger and was happy with my pick. Veggie burgers can be hit or miss in my experience but this one held its own. I thought the lack of fries with my burger would leave me hungry, so I ordered mac and cheese. While the mac and cheese was solid, I think the burger on its own would’ve left me full, it’s quite hefty. One of the owners was sitting at front to greet me. The service was great and I’m hoping to come back to try some of their breakfast options“

“All good things— the service is amazing, staff is kind. Their croissants are great, flaky and not too sweet. I loved the cardamom latte (they also recommed the french toast latte which I did not have but looked enticing)

Very friendly staff, cute spot, underrated.“

“Delicious vegetarian Indian bites!“

“Almost walked by this place - definition of hidden gem. Most enthusiastic and friendly owner. Most interesting and delicious pad thai, thai crepe, ive ever had, out of probably 100+ thai spots. This immediately rose to #1 position. I'll be back... often!“

“I've been here several times but, this was the first time I asked for veggie paella & asked them to add shrimp °•~ It was so good !!!

I also had Ceasar Salad & Shrimp Ceviche which was also good with lychee martinis 🥂.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“Healthy Delicious food at reasonable prices. Seasoning and style of vegan foods I only find here. Unique to other spots. Friendly workers, fresh food and short waiting time for the order. Woman owned 💖“

“Great selection of smoothies and sweet bowls! And the employee on shift this morning was an absolute delight! So kind and welcoming and accommodating. I would like to see more savory options that don’t involve fake meat or bread, but if you’re looking for a smoothie and/or a sweet bowl, can’t go wrong here. Also they do have a single occupancy bathroom for customer use!“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“The ice cream cookie was absolutely delicious — the perfect balance of chewy and creamy! What really made the experience even better was Jill. She was so sweet, attentive, and amazing throughout my visit. She made sure everything was just right and her kindness really stood out. Definitely coming back!“

“My partner and I had the good fortune of joining the Saturday night dine-in experience. The experience was absolutely lovely. Our host was welcoming and accommodating, the atmosphere was warm and intimate, and the food is just *chef’s kiss* perfect — very authentic home cooking approved by my born-and-raised Bangladeshi partner. We took home almost 3 days worthy of leftovers and they heat up nicely too. 10/10 will visit again!“

“My bro brought me the Spicy Italian home. This was the best sandwich I have had in years. Authentic tasting. The bread was on point. And that cherry pepper spread was perfetto! Fantastic work!“

“We love this place, tried multiple flavours and everything is just perfectly made and delicious. We love OG flavours for sure and the Lotus biscoff was amazing too. The serving staff was friendly and always helped us with generous tastings of more than 2 flavours.“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“Love Me Casa food. Been eating their food since the start and they never disappoint. Everything has so much flavor. My favs of course are the alcapurias and the empanadas... but EVERYTHING is delicious.“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!“

“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋“

“Food is clean, healthy and delicious! You can taste the love that goes into every dish. It is a pleasure to support this local business.“

“Amazing hand crafted crusts , fresh toppings!“

“i come here often, either to dine in or take out, i'd say at least once a week as a treat. this is my favorite sushi place in jersey city, everything's always super fresh (the salmon and tuna are both amazing) and the service is great. prices are very reasonable, their teas are to die for and are so refreshing. i have no complaints!

overall worth it, they also do all you can eat sushi if you dine in but i have yet to try that.“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“
