50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Lakewood

“The staff is so attentive, the owners are so generous and kind, especially if you have kids. This is the best Thai food I’ve ever had and our favor restaurant near the tacoma area. Yes the menu is smaller but you can tell they put a lot of thought and love into their food. I think it’s better to focus on a few good dishes and have them be perfection than have a mid menu with a lot of items. Can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Excellent. Might be the best korean soup restaurant in Tacoma.

Clean. Clean utensils. Clean restrooms. Clean air. Clean water. This is one of the few Asian restaurants that are clean.
Courteous staff who serviced us very quickly.
Prices are fair.
Menu was an easy to navigate one pager with no grease to paste your fingers.
Tasteful music selection. Noise level isn't an issue for casual intimate convos.

Both kimchis are excellent. Comparable to hmart quality. Spicy beef soup were rich.

The only criticism I have is with the outside design. The pictures on the windows kinda made me hesitate to go in since I couldn't peek inside. However, once you're inside, it's a nice feeling to be insulated from the outside with the tinted windows.

This is a regular spot to keep going to.

Edit: Went another time bringing my family, but noticed less meat than the first time we came. Might have inconsistent portioning.“

“Delicious food with great service.“

“Somewhat of a local foodie. Love to eat at different places in the area. For some reason, the food and service, I keep coming back. Have had most everything on the menu and never an issue. As for service, the staff quickly learn your name and your preferences. Always suggesting new dishes.“

“This is a review from 20 years ago when me and my dad were at Ft. Lewis. This Chicken Bowl spot was the absolute best I ever had and the Korean grandma was an absolute sweetheart tried to teach me a little bit Korean as well.

The most memorable part of this place was the Teriyaki sauce. It was sweet, but not teeth aching, it was savory with hoisin, umami fermented flavor, and it wasn’t so bold and rich that overwhelmed the grilled chicken and rice combo.

It is a core memory for me and will never forget the taste of it until I die. My only regret is not buying a gallon of the stuff from them as a kid lol!!“

“Excellent food and great atmosphere! Love the Soyrizo Tacos and rice! 🌟“

“We had chicharones w/yuca fries & papusas. The food was excellent! It came out fresh and hot. The chicharones were tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside, just way it should be. We've had alot of papusas over the years, and these are the best & most stuffed I ever had. (Chicharones con queso) We will be back.“

“I love sugar cookies. they are a lot of work so I do not like to make them. So I have been all over Washington always looking for the best sugar cookie and I FINALLY found it! some places have good cookies and some have good frosting but no one else has both. They make the perfect cookie with the perfect frosting. we also had the pumkin bar and it was absolutely delicious. we will definitely be back soon!“

“Ordered from Carr's for the first time today. Everything my family got was amazing! I had to call and let them know to kiss the chef for us because the food was prepared perfectly! I know where I'm going for my bday this year. Thank you for the amazing food!“

“Best pizza I had in a very long time“

“First Time going to Puerto Rican 🇵🇷International cuisine , food was delicious and taste amazing ,staff was helpful and friendly, will definitely be coming back again.“

“love the food, love the prices, love the people most, and love the special decor that makes the atmosphere magical!“

“Great food! We tried the Godzilla Roll (it was so huge), Spicy Chicken Karaage, and Eel Nigiri and everything was super fresh and delicious. Portions were huge and we were able to take some home for leftovers.“

“It was my first time here and the Pho did not disappoint! It was really delicious, and the way it was packaged for to-go was great! The only thing that was concerning was the signs on the drive-thru. Sounds like the owner has gone through some rough times with customers. Despite this, it was great!“

“We went to El Toro for the first time last night and really enjoyed our dinners. I had the chicken fajita quesadilla with rice and beans and my hubby had the beef enchiladas. Both were very tasty. Their prices are fairly reasonable and they have great value lunch specials. Give them a try!!“

“Food garbage drinks over priced hooker vibe desperate“

“We order from Yum Yum Teriyaki often and are always satisfied with their food and service. We especially like the house Yakisoba and beef broccoli, but all their food is delicious! The owners are very friendly and work hard to please. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“El mejor pan delicioso y la atención excelente“

“The store in Lakewood made me a BLT. It's not even on their menu . It was one of the best BLT'S I've had. I thought that was above and beyond exceptional service . Unfortunately I can't get another store to offer the same courtesy. Still all in all decent food.“

“Amazing different kinds of lemonades and great food“

“Amazing people and amazing food!“

“Our favorite place now! My order: Unagi (nigiri), Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special. Dad's oder: Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special and 5 order of maguro to go. The unagi was the best i have had in over 10 years. The tempura was light, crunchy and flavorful. My Dad is very particular about food and I am known to order the same item over and over. I have been trying different things and pleased with each one here. Everything was as good as it could possibly be. So happy!“

“If you’re craving legit Filipino food, Paraiso Filipino Resto is worth the trip. I had the sizzling sisig, halo-halo, and a couple of combo meals, and honestly, I left happy and full. The sisig came out still sizzling (and tasting amazing), just the way it should be. The halo-halo reminded me of the ones back home — traditional, not overdone, and really good. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavors hit the spot. On top of that, the owner was so much fun to talk to — super friendly with great customer service. You really feel welcome here. Highly recommend if you want that authentic Filipino taste without hopping on a plane going to Cali.“

“Love the Pho and Soring Rolls. We have gone there twice and definitely will be going back again.“

“the food was authentic Mexican. so yummy. we had the tacos with beef and cheese and quesadillas with beef and cheese. will definitely be back“

“This is hands down our favorite Korean restaurant! Love the Korean pancakes, the honey garlic chicken is my favorite & the owners are so sweet and the food is amazing & consistent flavor wise every time we come! Also recommend the mango soju ❤️“

“I had been coming here for years with my family, and it is a very cozy spot for some delicious and authentic Korean food. The tteokbboki is probably some of the best I had in Lakewood and the yakisoba was so good I ate the whole plate. I came on the last day before the owner was going to close the restaurant, and it was a good meal. Sad to see samwon go though 🥹“

“Inviting, clean dining room. Good atmosphere. Attentive and speedy service. Got the udon and salmon express roll and both were excellent. Definitely want to come back to try more of the sushi. Just a really on point Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“There is only a 2$ difference between the regular and large portion. If you'd like more noodles to broth ratio, get a large. If you like more broth to noodles l, get a regular. Or just ask for extra broth for 2$ more. During the winter, there is no little heat.“

“friendly atmosphere...crisp meat burrito“

“Went here with a friend and had my regular delicious meal of Chicken Katsu Curry. This meal is amazing no matter what location you go to. This location was super busy the whole time we dined in. The only downside was they had generic Sriracha packets instead of authentic Sriracha bottles like other locations, which are far superior. Thanks for the great service.“

“Amazing upgrade. Little but mighty of atmosphere and food! Portions are great and amazing! Time from order to serve 10mins or a little more but its from scratch!

Chicken fried rice and I was really surprised with the Wonton Soup! Especially it being winter! Hits the spot!

The other day I got teriyaki chicken with kimchi and their wings. Wings great with spicy mayo.“

“la foto habla por si sola. Que deprimente presentación. literal solo aparte los jalapeños y que me quedo.? ya no había tomate, se les agotó la cebolla al igual que las salsa. me dio más pena a mi reclamar esto que a ellos servirlo. una burla total. para comer no lo recomiendo.“

“Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down.“

“The staff are great. They're friendly, quick, and make good quality Pizzas. Goes a long way towards justifying the expense.

The only thing I don't recommend is the new Cheesey Stuffed Crust. The cheese is a flat layer inside the crust and adds nothing flavor wise.“

“Very good food. The Pancit is very flavorful. I also had the Lumpia!!😋Beef Macado!!!Next time I will have the Pork Adobo!!“

“I gave a 4 star on food because everything was good except the corn tamale. On service because it was pretty much a self serve so it would be unfair to a true 5 star service. On atmosphere because its poorly lit in some areas. Nevertheless a solid 4 star.“

“Everyone here is so kind and they work well together. Definitely never feel rushed when here and that is amazing to be able to eat and take our time. Food is always great never disappoints 😊❤️“

“I saw Manic Meatballs on TikTok and decided to come on out and give them a try. Ohmygosh so delicious from the meatballs to green beans to the shell n cheese! I’m heaven! Best early bday brunch ever! 10/10“

“Tasty food and friendly service!“

“Five stars all the way for House of Pho in Lakewood, Washington. I ordered the Pho broth with vegetables and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service hit that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering, which made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the price point was just right, making the meal feel like a great value. Everything lined up perfectly, from the food to the service to the vibe of the place. This is definitely a spot worth coming back to.“

“Absolutely love this place!!! The chef fulfilled a personal request for an item not listed on the menu with no hesitation and it came out perfectly💓 the staff is wonderfully kind and patient, and everything was so clean!!!“

“So good I have the enchiladas one ground beef and one chicken so good“

“My favorite vegetarian pho! Must try if you haven't already! Cutest entry way gardens too!“

“The best Thai restaurant overall!!! I am long time customer and had only great experiences with their foods and services. Always recommend to my friends and family. Support this small local family owned business. They are nice people. Keep up good work Chang Thai 👍🏻“

“It's the lunch buffet that I'll cross town for! Everything delicious, and a wide variety. Their Butter Chicken will change your life expectancy. Good people, the care and attention shows in the food. (¡¡Butter Chicken!!)“

“As I walked in I was hit with a smell of comfort and good food; the place reminded me of the shops and restaurants near my hometown in Texas. The food was just lovely and the atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing. I can’t wait to come here again!“

“Excelente comida, muy buen servicio y el sabor auténtico mexicano!“

“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.“

“I have been eating here since the late 90’s. Their Menu has basically been the same. The Sesame Chicken portion has changed, as different owners have taken over the business, but the flavor hasn’t! (You still get the sweet little crystallized chunks in the corner of the to-go plate. IYKYK) Their Garlic Chicken Wings are also a Classic, & are a must, with their Homemade Sweet & Sour Sauce. ??“
