28 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ocean

“Good eats and super nice owners/staff and customers!!“

“We were in town due to a medical procedure and after a long day, we needed to find a place to have dinner. We stumbled upon this gem and were so glad that we did! The food was spot on and the service was great! We will definitely come back when we have to travel here again.“

“First-time dining here, subtle flavors, excellent Mediterranean meal of lamb shank, grilled vegetables and tasty rice. Rice pudding like I’ve never here before. Top 10 meal of my life. Clean restroom. I’ll be back soon.“

“I always enjoy the sunset diner ever since I use to go out with the leauge after bowling and recently when I had my big sister in jersey for a weekend I took her there after bowling we had lunch together this place brings people and family together with excellent service and great food“

“Pops bagels are the best bagels on the jersey shore. The chicken salad with lettuce and bacon on everything bagel can't be beat! Delicious! And join the sandwich club buy 6 breakfast sandwiches get one free. Get the card at the counter and make sure they punch it every visit!“

“Great place to grab a drink, hang out with friends and enjoy great beer. Such a wide selection compared to what's typically available retail, including special bottles and barrel aged brews. Place is not as noisy as a lot of tasting rooms, plenty of seating and sports in two screens. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Glad this one is hidden away so that only the real fans will find it.“

“I can’t even begin to explain how amazing these bagels are!! The outside has that perfect bite and crunch, while the inside is soft and fluffy like a pillow. This place is a 10/10. The bagels are fresh, flavorful, and exactly what a bagel should be! You can tell they actually care about making a quality bagel here. Safe to say this is my new go-to spot!“

“I have edited my review. I went back after 2 years and the food and service have completely deteriorated. The food is bad now. The chicken is hard and seems uncooked. The service is bad now they messed up my order and they didn't even apologize and just hung up. I hate writing this review because this place used to be my favorite.“

“Ginza offers the best AYCE and regular sushi menus by far. I used to frequently go to MIZU-Long Branch for AYCE before and after COVID, but the experience declined—rude service from the start when you walk in and food that was bland or overly frozen - others I included would speak on the same topic. Ginza is a refreshing change: welcoming staff, better atmosphere, and consistently delicious, fresh dishes and clean!“

“French toast with granola and bananas was the best !!!!“

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“I have been vegan for about 8 months now and my eyes light up when I see Sprout House! Samantha is so friendly and her food is so delicious! Pumpkin Cheesecake was so amazing!!“

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.“

“Super delicious Italian cuisine, excellent dessert menu, super ambiance, free parking and to top it all off; you can stroll the boardwalk to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

“NJ Staple Period! If your on the hunt for NJ best pizza spots, Pete and Eldas BETTER be on that list. They dominate the thin crust market. If you like it a little extra crunchy like I do, just ask. Dont forget to leave your menu standing up to signal your ready to order!!! They have a system - THEYRE ALWAYS PACKED - Dont be afraid to wait or if your a party less than 3 ppl, just head to the bar! Food is great there 10/10“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Kristin was amazing!“

“This was my first time trying Korean food and I was not disappointed. It was worth every dollar, and I cannot wait to come back here.t The bulgingi bowl was so flavorful and they kept bringing out more and more food for us to try. The man cooking the food was so nice and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new for lunch/dinner to do this, or trying to not spend too much while in Asbury. Will be going back again!“

“What a great time! I'm not sure why some reviews say ride staff. I didn't see that at all. Tables are a little toght but not that bad. Service was exceptional and they have a TON of gluten free food. Save room for dessert. Only thing is go early or you'll be waiting even though you have reservations and BYOB. Can't wait to go back!“

“Absolute BEST Indian food in the area! Super freshly cooked and the food is so aromatic. We had the chicken tikka masala and goat karahi - both were super flavorful and the meat is very tender. The sauce also doesn’t taste sweet like some Indian food tends to make their masala. The naan bread was also amazing! The portions are decent and we had plenty plus leftovers. Singh was very kind and attentive to us! Will definitely be back.“

“Wow! We really love this place. Would come every week. The food and drinks are great.“

“Great food! The Burgers are amazing!!“
