50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ashland

“I had been here on two separate occasions: once in 2015, and then again recently in 2024. What a difference a near-decade makes! When I came in 2015, the food wasn't anything remarkable. 9 years later, I was on the hunt for nachos that used real shredded cheese instead of the canned/jarred cheese you find in grocery stores, and alas - Taqueria Camino Real came up in my Yelp search! When I say my stomach was delighted to find a place serving nachos supreme with real cheese, I was literally jumping for joy. I called in my order, and $11.95 and 15 minutes later, I had my order. First off: $11.95 is a STEAL for food right now. With inflation leaking into every part of our lives, you count your blessings in the little ways... food included. lol Second off: THE NACHOS WERE BOMB. The meat was seasoned perfectly, ingredients were fresh, and every single bite left me wanting more! I'm so thrilled to have rediscovered a solid spot for nachos supreme in our area. I have yet to try the rest of their menu, but something has certainly changed with Taqueria Camino Real in recent years. They are excellent for take-out! Be sure to call in your order ahead of time.“

“Just smacked 3 tacos , trying to watch my figure so I didn't over indulge. Place is charging 4$ for a taco so you would have to be the judge ‍ , I will definitely be back for some more. Very quick and I like the ambiance / cart set up. - Food god“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.“

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“Had a wonderful beautiful birthday for my EX❤️ The Staff was absolutely wonderful and the bartender was awesome and spoke Italian. The service was outstanding.“

“We are addicted to this place. The food is fresh, at a reasonable price and gets served fast. The staff is super polite. The side dishes (sauces and tea) are tasty too.Kid-friendliness: While there’s a sort of unspoken rule about getting at a minimum amount of 1 lb, they aren’t strict with kids portions.“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“The food was delicious! Service was excellent! The women working were so lovely. The menu is fully vegan and vegetarian and the injera is naturally gluten free because it’s made with teff. We can’t wait to come back!Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free.“

“We had a good meal here. The risotto was fabulous. I had soup and a side of shrimp that was good too. I do wish they had more salads to pick from. I have only eaten lunch here before and I do love their shrimp and grits. Drinks could be bigger. We went a little before the rush and it was still really loud. Not easy on the ears. It's very indicative of Danville Ca. A bit posh but not too much.“

“Amazing food and fabulous food. Try everything, the quality and taste is worthy of a Michelin star!“

“? We just told Liyon we're SOS free vegans, like a mild flavor, and we were given a delicious meal. We were very impressed. Two desserts were also vegan, a nice surprise to see. ? We'll be back. ??Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating. ?Parking: Parking was right out front. ??Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor.“

“Getting anything from here is such a treat. The super burrito is massive and I usually split it with my girlfriend and still have half a burrito the next day. It’s as big as my forearm! Handmade tortillas on the tacos and the meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly, never chewy. The horchata is soo good too and they ask if you want ice, which is very nice. Even their salsas are exceptional. They used to have pickled red onions with habanero that was SO good to eat alongside but don’t offer that anymore which is a heartbreaking honestly…please bring it back!!!“

“Happy hour 5-7 mon-thu, 4-7 fri-sun. Delicious food, super easy to over order here, but really good value for money. A few favorites, chef bento, raiders roll, Japanese tacos, Hamachi kama, otoro. The staff are all super friendly and really helpful in suggesting options. No bad selections so far. Excited to go back again!Parking: Dedicated Parking lot behind the restaurant and some on street parking in front.“

“great food and great service. highly recommend it.“

“A Flavorful Journey to Zacatecas: A True Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cecilia's Zacatecas Mexican Restaurant, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. As soon as I walked through the door, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of freshly prepared spices filled the air, instantly transporting me to the heart of Mexico. Cecilia's dedication to preserving the authentic flavors of Zacatecas cuisine shines through in every dish. The menu is a treasure trove of traditional delights, showcasing her expertise in crafting delectable recipes. The Birria, a slow-cooked stew bursting with rich flavors, was an absolute standout. Each spoonful was a heavenly blend of tender meat, aromatic spices, and a hint of smokiness. It was a true testament to the care and passion that goes into Cecilia's cooking. Another must-try at this restaurant is the Zacatecas-style Gorditas. These handheld delights are made with love and expertise, with a perfectly fluffy masa exterior encasing a variety of mouthwatering fillings. Whether you opt for savory meats or flavorful vegetarian options, each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more. To complement the meal, Cecilia offers traditional Mexican beverages that are as refreshing as they are authentic. The Café de la Olla is a fragrant and invigorating cup of coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, giving it a unique twist. And the Agua de Horchata, a rice and cinnamon-based drink, provides a soothing and creamy accompaniment to the vibrant flavors of the food. It's clear that Cecilia's passion for cooking stems from her upbringing and the invaluable knowledge passed down to her by her mother. Her dedication to preserving the culinary traditions of Zacatecas is evident in every plate she serves. Not only does she deliver exceptional food, but her warmth and welcoming nature also create an inviting ambiance that makes dining at her restaurant a truly memorable experience. In addition to her culinary prowess, Cecilia's persistence as a Latina business owner deserves applause. It is inspiring to see her success and how she has brought a taste of Zacatecas to our community. Supporting local businesses like Cecilia's is a way to celebrate culture and diversity while enjoying incredible food.“

“The food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place.“

“Just Go!!! Amazing staff and the pizza is Amazingggggg“

“Food--fabulous, tasty, and filling. Service -- amazing. The owner was fantastic. Super catering, pleasant, humble, and great charisma. Ambiance-- great tuck away vibe. If you want a little reprieve from the hustle and bustle all while getting a little taste of the quaint vacation spot vibe, this is the place. Can't wait to go again!“

“clean restaurant and fast service for dine in last Friday night. food is super yummy“

“I love going to Top Hatters now because I know the staff a little and I love that the original bartender is still there, making the most delicious cocktails. I was able to order a cocktail not on the menu and the new bartendress nailed it. The meat platter was incredible- zero leftovers. Yum!“

“This place is really good. Great quality of food. Very good flavor. Good atmosphere. I love it! On top of that, everyone is always very friendly. Highly recommend!“

“I always buy boba drink and snacks for my kids. This time we decide to sit and enjoy the dishes. Excellent food. We have the house special chicken, green beans and chili fish. All very delicious. Amy is amazing and she gave us sesame ball on the house to try. Great Chinese dessert. We ordered the lemon kumquat drinks. Will recommend for anyone who likes caffeine free drink. This is like your neighborhood small cafe, only it is Taiwanese. Great place to hang out with friends and family“

“Deliciously wonderful unique food.“

“I came here on a reservation as this restaurant is incredibly small. There are only 2 tables that can hold a group of 4 each, maybe 2-3 tables that can seat 2 people, and a couple seats at the chefs counter. I heard the server quote a wait time of 1.5 hours to a group who had come in without a reservation looking for a table of 4, so make sure you make a reservation! After ordering, it takes quite a long time for the chefs to make your sushi, I think we waited around 30 minutes? But that's because everything was cut and made fresh. Make sure you have good company to chat with or else the wait will bore you!For a group of 3, we got 2 nigiri combos, 1 sashimi combo, 1 spicy salmon maki roll, 1 negi hama hosomaki roll.1. Nigiri combo - 8/10. This was a great value for for only $25! You can pick 7 nigiris as well as a chef's choice maki roll. I really enjoyed the Kanpachi, Kurodai, and Ika because they torched the top for some smokey flavor. Our maki roll of the day was the salmon & shiso hosomaki which had a hint of perilla leaf flavor! For the amount paid, it was definitely worth it!2. Spicy salmon maki roll - 9/10. This isn't your standard spicy salmon roll where they mince the salmon with some spice. These are strips of whole salmon so you really get to taste the meaty parts of the salmon. It was my favorite dish of the night!3. Negi hama hosomaki roll - 6/10. We all didn't think much of it. It was pretty bland and I thought that the rice in the roll overpowered the fish. It is a pretty light fish in the first place, so you won't be able to taste it much.Overall a great choice if you want some cheap and beautifully presented sushi! The menu is relatively simple and small“

“Amazing burger, amazing tastes, the best cheese burger I have ever had in Falafel flame Hayward mission blvd. I strongly recommend this area for everyone Best of luck Hashmatullah faqiri“

“I ordered chicken broth. It was so delicious that it ranked first and second at the ramen restaurants I ate at in America! I was surprised that it cost over $20, but it was so delicious that I would want to come back again. I arrived after 17:00 and was able to enter the store without lining up.“

“I've been hearing about how great the bánh mì's are here and this past weekend, I finally made time to try. We went on Sunday morning around 10am, and there was a short line. After ordering, it took maybe 10 minutes - not bad, since there were quite a few people waiting for their food. My partner and I ordered a beef bánh mì, and bánh mì xá xíu, both with a fried egg. Also got nước rau má and bánh giầy. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We got to the car, and devoured the sandwiches in 5 minutes. Every thing was fantastic. Felt like I was reliving my childhood snacks. Will definitely be back!“

“This place should be packed! I hope you give this place a try today because the food is high quality and full of flavor. I wasn't sure about this place at first because they don't have a lot of reviews and weren't really busy, but you can tell by the photos the food is good—that's what finally made my wife decide to check it out and we're really glad we did! We went last night with another family and we liked it so much that we came back tonight to try their other dishes. There are many restaurants in Alameda with mediocre food that are crowded, but this place should be overflowing with customers and I want to draw some attention to this gem. This is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food, so please give it a try!PS. They no longer serve sushi and are focused on Lao food and Southeast Asian food, which luckily for us is fantastic!“

“Excellent Food and service !“

“Rumi is as good as it gets around here. Coffees are great and the food is great. My family lives coming here too. I brought my cousins here and they loved it as well. My kids love the smoothies. Smaller place, but all of the patrons are deep in their converatiin and enjoying their time at Cafe Rumi. I hope to come here for years to come.“

“The food is as authentic as you can get!! As a Puerto Rican the only thing close to this is my Mom’s cooking!!“

“Without a doubt my new favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay, and I’ve thoroughly explored Oakland & SF Chinatown! We got the #8 (Taiwan beef brisket noodles) at the highest spice level (it’s really not spicy at all) with their hand pulled noodles and oh. My. Goodness. AMAZING!!! The vinegar in the broth was PERFECT, I didn’t need to add my own seasonings whatsoever.We also got the fried pork and chili won tons which were also delicious! I’ll definitely make the drive down here as often as possible!! Super happy to support this new small, local business.Also shout out to the service, because it was some of the best I’ve gotten in a long time. So kind!“

“Ate there again outside on a beautiful day! The waitress is the best! We had the special of the day, a Veal Bratwurst cooked in an herb and butter sauce. I was using the pretzel (brotzel) to dip into the sauce. It was dreamy! My standard of lox with Potatoe pancakes always makes me smile!“

“Great variety of tasty dishes on the menu and the food was delicious! I loved the “secret” specials - you need to ask to find out what they are. Fun cocktail options. And, all of the dessert options were awesome! My fav was the cheeseburger - YUM! I would definitely go back!“

“Last night was our first time here. We ordered the Classic Margherita and Greek. Both excellent. The place was clean and the customer service was superb. They were so attentive to everyone and funny and down to earth. This will be our new spot for sure.“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“My friend and I, both new to the area, decided to try out a new restaurant for lunch. The place had a fantastic vibe from the moment we walked in. Upbeat calypso music filled the air, and the combination of natural light and stylish décor created a great atmosphere. The server patiently explained the menu to us. We ordered at the register and then took a number for our table. The service was exceptional - our server anticipated our needs and was always attentive. For lunch, I had a delicious chicken taco plate with a refreshing horchata drink. My friend opted for the chicken tortas, a Mexican-style sandwich. We also shared a plate of Rollitos Encanelados for dessert. The complimentary tortilla chips and fresh salsa were a delightful bonus. The food was amazing, and the entire experience was so enjoyable that we decided to return for their Tuesday Taco special! I highly recommend this restaurant, but be aware that parking can be a challenge due to nearby grocery stores.“

“Place was amazing. Clean and family friendly“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Delicious food. Highly recommend.“

“The service and food was outstanding! Celebrated my birthday yesterday and will be back soon!“

“I'm from the East Coast (NY) and recently my Brother in-law and I visited a few cities in the state of California. First, we spent a few days visiting family in Los Angeles and Santa Ana. At the last minute of booking the trip, my Brother in-law decided he wanted to visit an old college buddy named Roderick (Roddy) in Oakland.He mentioned that Roddy had a BBQ restaurant named Roderick's BBQ. So the plan was to fly down from Santa Ana to San Francisco, make the drive to Oakland and spend our final evening in California hanging out with Roddy at his restaurant. I didn't know what to expect because I had never met him. Well, he rolled out the red carpet along with some of the finest food (not just BBQ) you will ever have in your life.You name it, we had it, and it all tasted incredible. Ribs, Tri-Tip, BBQ Chicken, Hot Links, Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish, French Fries, Mac & Cheese, and Potato Salad. The Ribs were tender and perfectly cooked, as was the BBQ Chicken. The Tri-Tip was tender and just melted in your mouth. The Hot Links had the perfect amount of flavor and heat. The fried chicken and catfish was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tasted great. The french fries had a light dusting of their in-house seasoning that was absolutely amazing.The Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese was incredible as well and to wash it all down was some of the most amazing Kool-Aid ever. The type of Kool-Aid that takes you back to your childhood. You better believe the next time I'm on the West Coast, I'm getting me some Roderick's BBQ. This place is a hidden gem and if you live in the Oakland area, you should run (not walk) to Roderick's BBQ immediately and try some of this amazing food. If you live 1-2 hours away, it's definitely worth the drive. Pull up a chair, enjoy the food, and tell Roddy that Chris and Sean sent you and he'll take good care of you. Plus, he's a great guy, a great storyteller, but he's an even better cook.Kudos to Roderick's BBQ!!!“

“Chris that works there is awesome, food is good and they are accommodating“

“If you're looking for an old school hole in the wall with bomb comfort food, bingo. Vietnamese coffee was like a frothy milkshake and I'm still amped up. The spring roll with a thin layer of sausage inside is very good. The broth for beef, #10, seafood tastes Iike gramma used to make and I'm not even Vietnamese. This place is legit and tastes like home. Will be back.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Oakland! The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. The vive is is unreal!!!“

“On this cold atmospheric rainy day, I'm glad I scored a parking spot right outside otherwise I might given up on trying this place. I'm glad the parking gods were with me today. It gave me the chance to try their Thai beef boat noodle soup. Omg it was perfect. The broth was a flavorful deep sweet soy sauce based broth with earthy spice undertones. The thinly sliced beef was tender. The noodles were al dente with a nice chew. Perfection in a bite. They had cute condiments but I didn't need to use anything. It was super tasty as it is. Anytime I'm in Alameda I'll definitely stop by for some great Thai food. A cute sweet Thai family runs this place.“

“I was walking around the Rockridge area on a Sunday morning, looking for a place to grab a cup of tea, and maybe a light snack, and I found this wonderful Eritrean Cafe. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. The food was fresh, beautifully plated and incredibly delicious! Just wow. And very reasonably priced too. I was at first a little put off by how dark the interior of this place felt, but I think it's safe to say the ambiance is very mellow, laidback, and peaceful. Plus, there's outdoor seating and brighter areas to sit in if you're looking for that. So, if you're in the area, don't miss this place!“

“Big craving for Churros especially after watching "The Brother's Sun"Best churros in the Bay area and I've ever tasted is in Hayward! It was a street vendor and his Google/Yelp hours are off since someone was controlling them. He is a very nice and sweet man! He is usually there by the Wah Jee Wah/ Mexican supermarket across the Hayward Chime cemetery from 12 noon to 7pm and off for one day either Monday or Wednesday or when it rains.It was crunchy and flaky. Airy. Good balance of a touch of saltines and sweet sugary goodness and cinnamon. $10 for a bag of happiness ❤️“
