20 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Foster City

“I don't know when Soon's opened but I've been living in the Peninsula for 6 years and cannot believe I just discovered this restaurant. For authentic Korean food, you typically have to head down to Sunnyvale or Santa Clara. But obviously for those who live in the Peninsula or above, it is a journey. Soon's finally starts to establish options alongside Daeho in San Mateo.From the outside, Soon's looks confusing. It is supposedly a Korean restaurant in a western plaza selling a whole variety of things. Is it fusion? Is it "Korean" cuisine by inspiration? And there's even some hints of Chinese, Hawaiian and Mexican in the menu. Again, not a good sign. Also, you need to stare at the ceiling when you're inside... it could've been a 3-story building.But let the food speak for itself. The banchan already is diverse and authentic, as well as every single dish that came out. The food is cooked by your "aunt" with decent sprinkling of love and nostalgia. It is Korean comfort food done well across the board. We had a tofu soup, galbi, kimchi fried rice and jjajangmyun... (?) - yes, the things from Chinese restaurants.And yes, all of them turned out great. It definitely is created with your aunt's interpretation but proper. The food tends to be on the sweeter side (so a bit additional sugar) but still within normal ranges.Ah, and the staff is super friendly.I am so glad we discovered Soon's. We'll absolutely be back. And one less reason to go down to Lawrence and El Camino.Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza.“

“The food is consistent and incredible. The staff is all friendly and helpful. You can almost always be seated immediately. Very delicious lunch specials. I love meat usually but the vegetarian options are fantastic. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in RWC.“

“My skepticism about vegan food and that it may have only limited choices was shattered at this place. Menu is pretty elaborate and can very well satiate quite a few people with different tastes. Drink options are nice too. Definitely recommending this place, and going back some time soon.“

“Went for a Friday night date with husband. The food was flavoursome . Specially the Bombay sliders were just mouthwatering ?Decent and quiet ambience with not much hustle bustle.-1 just for the fact they were out of the dessert we wanted to try.Overall had a nice calm dinner.“

“The salads are worth a two mile walk! Not only are they healthy and delicious but when you walk in you are greeted by the nicest people! That feels so rare now in the area and it has made coming back something I look forward to most days. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good fulfilling lunch.“

“Vegetarian / vegan wrap perfect for Good Friday. The Turkish double espresso was delicious and not gross like the bitter American roasters. I got fries, but did not realize lentil soup is on the menu. Next time. Operated by family, doesn’t get better than that.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“Upon entering, the setting was cozy, dimly lit, and there were modest decorations. The waiter bowed and greeted us with a friendly smile. Though they were the only one serving, so it was slightly slow; understandable though. They were still very polite and helpful. Food was light, healthy, and tasty. Samosas were probably the healthiest samosas I've ever had. We also ordered the Pad See Ew (vegetable) as well as brown rice with sweet and sour veggie chicken, which were both sooo delicious. It was fairly busy on a Saturday at 7pm...almost a full house. Overall, great experience. The food tasted and felt like exactly what a body needs! So tasty and healthy. Prices were also fair. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Very good Indian food and cocktails. Not completely typical north Indian food but not crazy innovation like at Rooh which is weird. Enjoyed the food here.Vegetarian options: As an Indian restaurant there are quite a few vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a large parking garage a few blocks away.“

“Too sweet, too salty, but... has potential.I could taste the seasoning, the truly taste of thai tea in this drink. However, you guys need to improve.I tried to drink my Thai Iced Ted, but it was SO SWEET that even with extra ice and water in another cup, it was undrinkable.My Rad Na was well seasoned, I can tell. However, too salty.I truly believe you guys can improve it. That's why I'm leaving this review.The Mango Stick Rice was good, even out of mango season.“

“Family owned and run and so delicious! The samosas are unlike the tough crusted ones elsewhere. The dough must be a family recipe because the crust on these is tender, yet crisp. Also, the mint dipping sauce has a nice spicy kick that rivals the tamarind sauce for memorable flavor and mint isn't even a favorite flavor of mine. Their chicken korma is also really good. I've stopped comparing kormas because they vary so widely, but theirs is warming and comforting like the best of them. I ordered everything with medium heat and for me, it was perfectly spiced, lingering on the tongue only a few minutes, but I will try it even spicier next time.Parking: Follow map that Curry & Kebab features on Google Maps. A little unclear if you can park in the covered parking area while the spa store is still open, but there are plenty of spots beyond. Note: this is a one way parking lot that exits onto Ivy St. You can circle the block to get back onto El Camino.“

“First time trying this place and it’s now our favorite place for sushi in the Bay Area. TLDR food is fresh, their service is awesome, space is a bit tight. We ordered a deluxe chirashi and a oh baby box for two of us. They both came with a free miso soup. Food is fresh and we are very happy with the portion. A big highlight of the dinner was the service here. The sever was very patient when explaining the menu for us and gave us extra napkins to hold the tea cups since they were very hot. We also asked for extra wraps for the sushi box and were given a lot (and they have soy paper here too!). It seems that they also do takeout with pretty good packaging. We will definitely come here again!“

“Authentic taste with great experience.We ordered Mysore masala dosa , podi idli and Madras dosa. Crispy tasty and real podi chutney.Although sambhar is not spicy at all and it has more sweet taste. Sambhar didn't had drumsticks and masala as it is supposed to be authentically.Chutneys are definitely tasty.Also like their buttermilk specially the fresh fragrance and taste of curry leaves.We had take out yesterday and uttapam is great too.Even samosa were crunchy and imli chutney is damn tasty.“

“First of all, this was my first visit to this place. The cashier was fantastic. He is probably the owner of this place. It was on a Thursday during a two day rainy weather storm. I walked in at 11am and I was the only customer. The guy was super kind and the food was beyond good. I ordered a carnitas super burrito. He then told me about salsas in the beverage refrigerator. It was in little Togo cups. I grabbed one of each. One Pico De Gallo, one mild Red and one hot Red. I raved about the hot red and he said it is made fresh daily and that it is made with Habanero peppers. It had black pieces in the salsa which is probably from Roasting the peppers. The taste was so so good with the tortilla chips. Those also looked homemade.To drink I had the Aqua Frescas which was self serve. I helped myself to a refill for the road. I am not sure if that is allowed but no one stopped me.Last, the same cashier also made a point to remember not only my first name that he said several times during our conversation but on the way out as I said goodbye, he said Goodbye Mr. Garcia! This is a man who knows how to be a good business man but makes you feel like you are the most important person in the room.Several people came in after me and he knew them all. Everyone talked with him like they have known him for years. During my next visit through town, I will stop by again. This time, I will ask him his name and remember it because he means that much to me now. Cannot wait to return.“

“Seoul Kitchen salad bowls have a little of everything - healthy, tasty, sweet, refreshing. Toppings upon toppings on top of a base of cabbage and kale. The takeout can be a little wet, but for lunch, sometimes you just want health and nourishing bowl of quick Korean takeout. For this reason, 4-stars. It's like having banchan for lunch!“

“Wish we lived closer to come by more often but used to be a regular when I lived here years ago, came by again recently and happy to report it's still going well. Some of my favorites are the gazpacho, pesto pizza, nori roll, chia pudding and the chocolate cake (YUM!). There's parking right across, you better pick up early because they do run out so then you'll be left to choose from what's there. It is on the more expensive side but the ingredients are really fresh and you feel good after eating it. Really shows how much other restaurants compromise on fresh ingredients I suppose. You'll feel good after eating here, that's the best compliment I can give them.“

“These folks can actually make stuff spicy enough for me to appreciate! That's high praise for a food court restaurant. They typically shoot for the broadest acceptance, but brave palates such as mine seek out bolder flavors, and Curry Up Now is here to accommodate!“

“Great service with very courteous employees. I have tried a few different options here, but their vada pav is good. I also tried pani puri but but you can give it a pass. The puris are crisp and puffy but dont taste authentic. They should serve them with either ragda or potato masala instead of chickpeas. I would come back to try other dishes.Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options“

“An airport eatery after my own heart, fresh plant-based food with sustainable packaging and quick service. It's no wonder there was a steady dinnertime rush. You can choose from smoothies to pizza with all kinds of hot and cold beverages. I opted for the single and Amy's fries, and it hit the spot. Tasty! I will definitely keep this spot in mind next time I fly out of SFO.“

“Probably the only restaurant that eat from on a regular basis. Great sushi, reasonable prices and a fast and accommodating service. What more can one want from a restaurant?Update: prices have gone up significantly from before COVID. Some things probably close to 70%.I just ordered for two, take out with a price of 70. That said the roll which I got was amazing, I have never seen such huge rolls with such a high quantity of fish in them.So, this will become a treat, rather than a regular fare, but the treat will be worth it.“

“Met up with friends at the Palo Alto location on a warm weeknight. Place was not busy and scored a table outside. The hostess was an absolute pleasure and super nice. Unfortunately, we were informed the entire burger section was unavailable and the station closed for the night. Bummer but we were able to find other substitutes. A bottle of pinot noir and edamame dumplings and hummus for sharing. I had the spicy penang curry without protein. The dish was slightly spicy and totally substantial - highly recommend. Our server, originally from the Netherlands, was fun also. Pleasant surprise overall.“
