50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Sunset Valley

“found a new place for lunch!! food was awesome. I am so glad they have GF options..“

“I haven’t physically been there yet so can’t review atmosphere but this place is the truth. I grew up in hawai’i so I am very picky. Poke is usually more on the simplistic side but I do appreciate dedicated poke restaurants that offer a variety of options as far as protein and toppings. I’ve tried several poke restaurants around the austin area and decided to try Poke Austin for the first time yesterday (ordered via grubhub) and after just one bite, I literally said “mmmm” it was so flavorful and savory!! I enjoyed everything. I ordered a poke bake with teriyaki chicken and spam. It came standard with edamame, fish roe, corn and some kind of pickled veggie as toppings. The harmony of that poke bowl was amazing and nearly perfect. I’m building my own bowl now today and I can’t wait. I haven’t felt compelled to write a review for other poke spots I’ve tried but needed to write one for this place. Also, the kimchi they have is BOMBBB and that’s hard to come by in a restaurant setting around atx unless you’re at an authentic korean spot. Will be eating this regularly as long as the product is consistent!

I just wish there were more aloha drink flavors on the menu. I would also appreciate spam musubi as a side!! :D“

“Good was lovely … only complaint I have is the staff with the To-go orders I ordered twice in one day and both times they messed the order up so if you do order online make sure to check your items they forgot my drink a1 sauce for the steak and sauce for my broccoli second time I was missing my bread and silverware and drink . Please be considerate of those who order to-go treat them as if we are dining in thank you .“

“People were nice and food good“

“Our sandwiches were juicy, tender and plenty. Love the remodel and UT🤘🤘 vibe.“

“We liked this place so much, we ate here twice during a long weekend in Austin. Everything we tried was excellent, from the baked goods to the salsa. Some of the best vegetarian fare I’ve ever had, and I’ve been veggie for nearly 25 years. Gracious, friendly service. Can’t recommend enough!!“

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!“

“Best beef ribs in Texas! Don't forget to get the beans.“

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“My wife and I had the best experience here for my birthday lunch, I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to eat at while in town for the Austin FC match! I can't say enough about the staff and the owner Joel who went out of his way to be extremely kind to us. Not to mention the food and drinks were so good. We'll definitely be back!“

“The best BBQ I’ve ever had! 5 stars!“

“Good people and good food!“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

“Food was excellent & the atmosphere was very warm & cozy.“

“Wow this place was magical. The grounds at the Commodore Perry are just gorgeous, and the patio at Luties is the best place to enjoy them. Mondays they have all day Social Hour which mostly consists of smaller portions or value priced versions of their regular menu. Valet is offered complimentary, and they have blue cheese olives. What more could you want?!

We had a group and shared several items. The carrots stole the show though, and I would go back just for a dirty martini and carrot dish.“

“Great place to hang with friends! Noisy, but that’s part of the atmosphere. Good number of screens around to keep up with games.

Parking: Great staff!

Kid-friendliness: Not much for kids to do other than a couple of games in the back.“

“Amazing food! Every dish we tried was DE-LICIUOS! Wait staff and hosts are lovely people. Atmosphere and vibe is warm and inviting here. My only suggestion for this restaurant is that they turn the volume down on the music. It really is WAY TOO loud. Other than that, visit often so that you can try the entire menu!“

“Delicious BBQ! Great ambiance and service!“

“My friends and I had girls night here on a Saturday and it’s definitely an elevated experience! The vibe has a DJ kinda reminding me of Dayclub in Mykonos? The seafood is great and the drinks experience was even better, i definitely recommend“

“The service was fast and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! The best breakfast my wife and I have ever had!“

“Only next level Japanese dining enthusiasts would be able to immediately recognize that they have chosen well. If you are lucky enough to discover the Happy Hour menu then you’ve hit the jackpot. Do yourself a favor and go because ain’t nobody have dry aged fish! What?!? Yes this separates Lucky Robot from the rest of the Japanese places in Austin. Put it on the bucket list folks!“

“Great food! So glad to have just learned they have one where I live!“

“excellent dining in a great atmosphere an awesome service sampled a bunch of tasting plates from the fish tacos to the bone marrow and the oysters even had a wonderful dessert with their homemade ice cream and bananas did I say that the service was awesome top notch five stars all day definitely a place to visit in Austin“

“One likely reason a takeout-only spot like Pollo Regio at 6615 Berkman Dr in Austin boasts an impressive 4.8‑star rating from over 3,000 reviews is the sheer consistency and quality of its core offering: grilled (pollo asado) chicken. A glowing review on MapQuest mentions “pleasant staff, short ticket times, good food,” and specifically praises the grilled‑chicken baked potato . Another review highlights that their food “is ALWAYS on point… very delicious” .

Beyond the chicken itself, the sides and accoutrements clearly leave a strong impression. As far back as 2003, the Austin Chronicle noted the “scrumptious green avocado salsa… fiery and creamy all at once,” along with fresh homemade sides and charred grilled onions—elements that elevate a simple take‑home experience into something memorable .

Moreover, friendly and efficient service powerfully enhances customer satisfaction. Patrons have described the staff as “professional, friendly, and loads of fun,” and appreciated the speed and reliability—even when ordering delivery .

All these factors—delicious, consistent food; standout, handmade sides and sauces; and positive, fast service—combine to create a gratifying, repeatable experience that yields high ratings. For many customers, Pollo Regio’s takeout is not mere convenience—it’s a go‑to solution for quality, flavor, and satisfaction.“

“everything in life will be muted and dull until I return to Olamaie it is exceptional to the point that I have lost sense of punctuation and capitalization truly“

“Totally new world of tacos! Amazing flavors, unusual combinations, super fresh ingredients and perfectly prepare. Well deserved James Beard award!“

“Just made an order from here its very good!! I've already had two tacos!! I love the chorizo is like my favorite food and very good with eggs!! Excited about my other order!! Chips are also very good!! Very pleased!!! I don't always come down here but they have many good places!! I live way more north!!
I also had the chicken bowl and the chicken here is amazing and very good!! Thank you!!“

“This place is another delishhh spot�“

“Hands down best chicken biscuit sandwiches I've ever had in my life.“

“I know everyone is putting how amazing the burgers were but even for an old-fashioned hamburger, and I've rated many, these were quite dry and flavorless. I had the bacon cheeseburger with everything on it. Kids did love the fries. Just being honest, because what else is a review for, right?. However, the service was very quick, especially given how busy it seemed to constantly be. They had great sweet tea and the butterscotch shake hit the spot on a hot day. As for the atmosphere? I like how it hasn't changed much in 80 years so nostalgia is always a win for me and the prices weren't bad if compared to Whataburger up the way.“

“I went in the other day there was 3 amazing people working Hailey created this amazing drink! All 3 were extremely helpful and a joy to see that early in the morning. Even tho there was crazy construction outside it was a very peaceful energy inside! I love this location and I’m glad Hailey was there to make a magical drink for me and my sister!“

“This place was excellent! I had a boozy salted caramel Iced coffee that was amazing.The cinnamon roll french toast was delicious with fresh fruit and an ooey gooey drizzle. The Floridian omelette was rich and full of flavor. The grits were so creamy, I requested some cheese on top but it honestly didn't need any. the Bacqueza Omelette was savory and smokey with just enough spice and creaminess from the cream cheese. Our server Isaiah was polite and provided us great service. The only issue we had was how rude and uninterested the hostess was.“

“Pinthouse is easily in my Top 3 Pizzas of All Time. The pepperoni and basil is a MUST try for first timers. The service is usually pretty great but occasionally they are a tad slow, however on those occasions the team has been really great about communication for the delays. The atmosphere is fantastic. They do have TVs if you are looking to catch a game!“

“Fun times I was there for the 2024 Cheftochef conference!“

“Wonderful service, great atmosphere and Fabulous Food!!“

“grubb best hot sauce around“

“Visited Austin for a few days and looked up a brunch spot to hit up… the name caught my attention and it did not disappoint! The kimchi hash was phenomenal! And you can never go wrong w a smoked salmon bagel! We will definitely be back when in the area! Staff was attentive, nice and the atmosphere was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was delicious! We shared the breakfast taco and had plenty left over!“
