50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Salem

“Good food, though “heat/spice” is a lot less than Korean food “back home”, it’s great for people who don’t like “hot” food (like me)! Friendly and welcoming - like visiting a friend!“

“Delicious DF/GF donut holes“

“One of my husband and I’s FAVORITE places to dine together. Their waitstaff are always incredibly sweet, accommodating and knowledgeable. Their portions are generous,,,I always leave with a Togo box and a smile. I love going during the week when they are less busy,,, however, I get the hype and they are well worth the wait if there is one. 10/10 ladies. 🫶🏼 Thank you for another great meal and experience. You all are the best.“

“Tried Royal Thai for the first time today. It was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, variety of dishes on the menu and a quiet, clean and intimate setting. We will be going back..“

“I can’t say enough good things about Mint Leaf Bistro! We were on the hunt for a new Indian restaurant, and thanks to my husband, we found a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service was just spectacular! Every bite was a delight. this is by far the best Indian food we’ve had in a long time. Plus, the lassis were so refreshing on a very hot day, and the portions were very generous. I am excited to have my leftovers for lunch tomorrow, at work! We will be coming back often!“

“Beautiful, delicious, most amazing bakery ever!“

“I came to Offbeat Coffee for the first time today. The drinks were beautifully crafted, the baked goods were delicious, the atmosphere was somehow a cross between vibrant and cozy, and the servers were top notch with their customer service!“

“8/31/2025 was my 1st time being there! I was meeting friends here! I come in everything was cleaned and I ordered my food and got sushi it was super yummy and worth the money!“

“We had the greatest meal here. If you are looking for a vegan/vegetarian friendly place that also has local beer on tap, Venti's is a must. Their vegan grilled cheese sandwich was delicious.“

“Best breakfast I've had. I'll be making the drive from Oregon City down here for the biscuits and chicken fried chicken. You can taste the love put into the food🩷“

“This place has always felt like what would happen if a Michelin star chef decided to retire and open a cozy diner. Everything has a flair to it that just makes it better. Cannot recommend it enough. Also got some cookies from there today, and they're just as good as everything else I've had from them.“

“Best breakfast/lunch place in Salem! Large portions, fair pricing, and good service ☺️“

“Best Chinese food in Salem!“

“Very cool people had no problem taking care of me very good place you guys should try it out“

“We tried the Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We're taking a many years long survey of who has the best. La Vida Catrina does, IMO. Former best, now second best, was in San Pedro, CA.“

“The best place to eat vietnameses food and very friendly service“

“Delicious food and wonderful people.
Tried the appetizer sampler that has a bit of everything, super good!
Thai tea delicious
Pad Thai super tasty and heavy portion
Bangkok noodles was a huge portion and also delicious.
Can’t wait to try more next time“

“We were in Salem for a concert at the Elsinore Theatre on Friday, November 1st, and were lucky enough to find the Wild Pear, to get something to eat before concert. I wanted to try everything on the menu, it sounded so good! I ordered the Butternut soup & Pear salad. Both were fabulous, & I can't wait to drive back to Salem to check out other items on the menu. We had awesome service and were greeted & shown to a table right away. You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back, & wish you were closer to Vancouver, WA!!“

“Delicious gluten free beautiful cake! 😍 Such wonderful people.“

“Best thing you can eat in the doughnut category!“

“Hands down the most satisfying Chinese food I've eaten. Smells good, tastes good, served hot with a smile. Fills you up, but not for 5 minutes.. fills you up and your leftovers actually become lunch tomorrow not your second dinner and they are still tasty without rubber or soggy breading!!

So why an overall score of 4 you ask??? There are a couple improvements that can be made fairly easy that would make this place a 5 star in my book. 1. Gotta do something about the temperature of the dining area. AC needs to either be fixed or installed.
2. Crackers, if you sell soup crackers should be available. The egg flour soup is great, but without crackers you can not enjoy a bowl of it before your food arrives because it is served hot (which is perfect) but some crackers would fix that.
3. Vegetable varieties...add some varieties like Broccoli and Cauliflower to the mix. Something substantial in our plate.

All doable things on my opnion.

Howwever I recommend China Gourmet if it is Chinese food you are wanting for dinner or lunch today.“

“So, so yumm! These cupcakes are seriously special… made with REAL ingredients, these will likely outshine your best home-mades!“

“Incredible food and atmosphere. I ordered from the Barista Maddy and she was an absolute pleasure to be around.“

“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“Today they catered our lunch (for 15) at DSL Builders LLC in Salem. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, Excellent Variety. I would use them again and highly recommend.“

“Great selection of beverages and ice cream.“

“Good foods Delicious recommend you to try it and you will like it.“

“I'm a regular at The Sassy Onion and I highly recommend. the food is awesome and a shout out to ALL staff...you guys are the best.“

“great service and so friendly! their charcuterie board is delicious!!“

“The Nan bread tacos are amazing! Perfect mash up of Indian and Mexican flavors. Been back twice in the last month for them. Lamb is outstanding as well.“

“I am blown away by the Gluten Free pizza here, pretty much the best here in Canby!!!!!“

“Waiter Skyler must have a grandma because he took care of me like family. He anticipated all my needs and checked in with me regularly. He offered to take care of my leftovers to go and placed them in a bag without asking when he saw I walk with a cane. The food was good, but I'll ne back for the great service.“

“Amazing food great service and way too much to eat!!“

“A good take n' bake pizza, so if you have a little extra time you can pick these up and in 10-12 minutes have a hot pizza. During October they have a Jack o lantern pizza.

Vegetarian options: They have dozens of different veggie toppings.

Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a friend with allergies to gluten and this was one place that can accommodate her.

Kid-friendliness: They have mini pizza kits so that your kiddos can put their pizzas together. That's what I would always get my girls.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible parking“

“I’ve loved Café Yumm for many years! Really great food! I also appreciate the focus on healthy food! My one wish is that some day the Yumm sauce will get elevated to eliminate the bad things in the ingredients such as canola oil. Why not olive or avocado oil? Just would make it that much healthier!! Thank you!! 🙏“

“Their menu is amazing.The best pork ramen in town .“

“Hands down the best Mexican restaurant the food they serve you is so delicious and super fresh super recommended this place the only thing I wished they had was pico de gallo salsa with the chips“

“I am blown away by the Gluten Free pizza here, pretty much the best here in Canby!!!!!“

“Miranda and Team were SO helpful in accommodating allergies to gluten, dairy and shrimp. I was impressed they not only had GF soy sauce, but gave GF Tamari packets to go for the leftovers (68 pieces of sushi for $67). They had GF batter for frying (a shared fryer, so not recommended for Celiac but I just have a gluten sensitivity) which was also a special treat. They went above and beyond and the sushi was excellent and fresh!“

“It's Pub food. Good and plenty. Plain and simple. Service is excellent and not intrusive. I tend to pre-tip by guessing what I'll order and pre-tip the wait person at order time. I get good results-they know they already have a tip and have a feeling how good the tip will be. Suddenly the service is great . Think about it.“

“Apple Pancake is to die for - I actually walked 2-1/2 miles for one! While it has become pricey, it is well worth it.“

“Our waitress was amazing!! So attentive and always asking if we needed anything! Our drinks and food was amazing and soooo good!!“

“Great food and awesome service. I'm here either dining in or picking up my dinner at least 3 times a month“

“Alright. Now I’m pissed. First when I tried to write a review it cancelled the review so now I’m rewriting this. But I was drinking my drink (peach fusion) about an hour ago and I took a gander inside my cup and saw a speck of dirt inside my ice. It really grossed me out but I did still drink it because I actually like peaches.“

“I absolutely love the vibe, I’m in my late 20’s with two toddlers and absolutely no judgement- grabbin a slice with my wild girls. Thank you.“

“We had excellent and quick service and the food was great! They had a fair amount of vegan options which is why we went there. The atmosphere is really fun as well.“

“Excellent food with great menu options. Perfect for people who need gluten free.“

“First time here and will definitely return! Had the Hot Bird sandwich and it was so good. The breading was well seasoned and the bun was light as air.“

“This is my favorite place to get Pho. They're quick, the food is delicious and the staff is always friendly. The price is affordable.
This shop is always my first pick when I want comfort food. The broth is always perfect and the noodles are never soggy. I always recommend.“

“Just the thought of a dhaba-style food truck serving up parathas with butter and pickle sounded like absolute heaven. For the most part, they really deliver on that promise! Almost everything we tried was great. The paratha was humongous and packed with flavor, though I do wish they offered a few more individual filling options instead of just a mixed veg style. Both the chicken curry and the paneer bhurji were absolutely on point, and the gulab jamun was a perfect sweet finish. As for the misses, the chana in the chana masala was still a bit too firm to bite into and definitely needed more cooking time, and the chicken roll was just okay. That said, I'm totally willing to let those couple of things slide because the highlights were so good. I’d love to come back and work my way through more of their menu!“
