33 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Albany

“Went in for the first time today & definitely won’t be our last! We ordered the pork egg rolls and beef pho which tastes like a hug you didn’t know you needed, the environment is cozy & aesthetic, and the staff, especially Karen (the owner), was so friendly & welcoming. We arrived during lunch rush and our food still came out quick, yet didn’t taste or look rushed. Can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the menu and will definitely be recommending to anyone & everyone looking for high quality, happy comfort food ♥️“

“great food! wonderful staff! stopped in for breakfast and is was great!“

“Tacos El Machin recently catered the welcome dinner for our wedding. We appreciate their promptness in responding to our request and their help putting together the meal. We were excited to be working with Tacos El Machin as we have enjoyed their food in their restaurants in both Albany and Corvallis over the years. Their catering was just as tasty as we expected. We highly recommend Tacos El Machine for enjoyable and affordable dine in or catering services. Thank you for all your help Noe!“

“pad thai is amazing! the fried avocado and won tons are to die for!! Be sure to treat yourself to dessert- get the fried banana & ice cream!! The iced Thai tea is amazing!!!“

“The Sunday, Sept. 20th, 2026 BREAKFAST TEAM receives a perfect "10". We enjoyed the complete DISNEYLAND experience from the moment we walked thru the front door until the moment we left. The Front Desk "gents" were friendly and service oriented. "MEGAN" was our totally awesome Waitress with an adorable smile that accompanied her superior customer service. The food was outstanding and the best vegetable omelet ever! The wait time for food was so quick and delicious. Thank you COOKING TEAM! Even the coffee and bus staff were superb and kind. KAELYNN met us while we exited by opening the door with a thank you, do come again, have a nice day farewell wish. We have always loved Elmer's but this Albany visit was a complete TOP CHEF and FOOD Service opportunity of the year. Thank you Megan, Kaelynn and entire staff. They all deserve a "raise" or how about: A Steak Dinner with sides and dessert?“

“Me and my partner love this place. We come here all the time at all times of the day. My favorite thing, it's leaving the bar. Early drunk as hell and going to rigoberto's to get a burrito carne Asada fries nothing makes me happier. In this place, being open twenty 47 i could go on and on about this place. Being great“

“If you're looking you're looking for delicious coffee and amazing customer service look no further. As a traveling salesman, I must start my day off right. Every morning I visit these ladies, always greeted with a smile and great conversation. Most importantly, the coffee is the best in town. The only complaint I have is that I'm on the road too much to get something to eat or drink in the afternoon.“

“The people that work there have always been nice to me. But let's be frank, if the cook doesn't know what medium rare is, then he needs to be fired... My hamburger was so overcooked I could have used it for sandpaper on my cutting board...“

“nice“

“My Pizza of choice is the Chicken Garlic Pizza's!
But I cannot stand Green Onion (or any type) So, I have them exchange it for Bacon Bits ~ The Most Ulimate Pizza you can find!!!
Papa Murphy's is the Only place in Albany to get a Great Pizza!!!“

“Been living around the corner for about 4 years now, and to honest, I forget how good this place is, doesn't break your wallet either“

“Came down for trivia night and had a great time! Friendly staff, good food, and yummy drinks!“

“The food was amazing!! Everyone’s plates looked great. Our server ALEX was awesome. I never leave comments but I Alex was attentive, funny, made sure the food and drinks kept coming. We will definitely be coming back!!“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“I have been a fan - long time customer (17-years) of Depot. Great food !!! Love the new food adds !! It has always been good food and the very best staff. There was an ownership change, about a year ago, the new owners have carried on the tradition of the eclectic decor which is fun, and the preexisting staff is fabulous. Staff remains consistent after new ownership (good sign) and the new staffers are a great add! It is clear that business has picked up the because we are seeing wait lines again, which we have not seen for about 4-years and new staff members have been added frequently this entire year. Sign of happy customers and employees. It is clear that additional staff members are needed, good employees are hard to find in today’s environment of finding GOOD employees- so hard to find in todays world. One needs to remember this when criticizing not having wait staff checkin on them… We are consistent weekly customers for 17-years, have seen many improvements this past year. We highly recommend Depot Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good food, To go“

“the bowls are great!“

“The best Indian food we’ve ever had! The tikka masala and butter chicken are our favorites! Everything is always fresh and cooked perfectly.“

“was very good“

“I’ve stopped in twice now since the new location opened in Halsey and have been pleased with my meal both times. Homemade corn tortillas and the carnitas are so flavorful!“

“This was our first visit to Sam City Pho & Grill. We had come for a birthday celebration on a recommendation from a friend and it was a huge success.

The atmosphere is nice. The food and the service were excellent. We were warmly greeted by Julia our waitress.

There were a lot of what appeared to be delectable dishes in the menu , but eventually I chose John's Roid Rage for my meal and it was delicious. All the other members of our party said their dishes were equally tasty. I sampled my wife's orange chicken ( prepared without spices at her request ) and it was tasty too.

The amount of food we were served was certainly adequate. Most of us took home food.

The restaurant overall was very clean and so were the restrooms.

Our waitress, Julia, was bright and cheerful sharing personal experiences and food recommendations. She was very attentive, refilling our beverages as they ran low.

If you haven't been to Sam City I encourage you to do so, you will not be disappointed.

If you do you try this place, you might see us there, because we'll definitely be going back.“

“I've lost count of how many times I have ordered Chili Wonton from here, they are phenomenal and made to perfection 👍 Food is always fresh and the portions are generous! My teen loves the Chili Ramen here as well. If you haven't been here you are missing out!“

“good food and more go enjoy.“

“Always delicious and the family that owns it is wonderful! Highly recommend the Crab Rangoons, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Cashew Chicken and fried rice!“

“Debbie was our waitress, excellent server, we tipped her 20$. She informed me of a lot the food and how things are cooked, very knowledgeable of their restaurant. I have diet restrictions and can't have pork of any kind, but I can have turkey or chicken sausage, which they did not have. They did have chicken shredded on the menu though for an omelet option, so I did that. They do use canola oil for cooking, I can't have canola or seed oils. If they used beef tallow it would benefit more people. This restaurant was recommended to me by a local. I would definitely like to return here again, they also support veterans, so I assume they support law enforcement. I encourage my law enforcement and veteran buddies to give this place a try.“

“I’ve spent most of my life bouncing between Mexico and California, and I will say my standards are high when it comes to Mexican food. I don’t look for Michelin Star quality - I look for authentic, tastes-like-abuela’s-cooking. While passing through Albany, I stopped at Victorico’s without knowing anything about it, it was just a convenient location.
I stepped in and first found the restaurant to be small, but very clean - a huge step up from similar restaurants I’ve been to. The cashier was friendly (although she didn’t know what I ordered was actually on the menu), and the menu itself was on digital boards; easy to read with a wide variety, and very fair pricing.
I’ve been missing tortas, as I don’t live in a place with Mexican food, so I ordered a cheese steak torta. I must say, the first bite zoomed me back to a hot Mexicali kitchen, biting into some of the best asada I’ve ever had in a torta. It was absolutely delicious and a bit emotional, as well (I do miss my dear Lilia!).
Well done, Victorios - you know what you’re about, and you do it well.“

“their food is cozy homestyle American food. had liver and onions tonight. this place is the best restaurant around. you are now #1. see ya next weekend“

“Great service! Tasty dinner!“

“Too many gay dudes cooking my burgers then going home afterwork and doing each other while they tell their wives they are at home. Oh and they have herpes“

“Always a great experience. Good food and atmoshere. Ashleigh was amazing made the experience very pleasant and professional. We will for sure be returning.“

“Best chicken strips I've ever had! I used the mustard and ranch for dipping sauce, and had half onion rings and half steak fries and used the bbq smoky Ring sauce whatever they call that one and it was amazing, especially with the dessert pear, pineapple, and lime juice drink they have, so if you want to go get something different from a burger place, you'll definitely enjoy this and I'm going to start calling it a chicken place that just happens to serve burgers!😁“
