38 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Pasadena

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“Delicious. No dine in available, but I recommend eating it asap. Chicken katsu curry, fried chicken, and the spam musubi were fantastic. The lady operating the register was very nice. Was about 20 minutes from time of order to pickup. 10/10 gonna go back. All the sauces were great too. Definitely give it a try if you're near by“

“Great food and awesome service. Definitely a must dine!“

“Chong Qing YaoMei Hotpot offers an authentic and unforgettable Chongqing hotpot experience, with a rich, spicy broth that perfectly balances heat and flavor. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, from tender sliced meats to a wide range of vegetables and handmade meatballs. Their sauce bar is impressive, allowing you to customize your dipping sauce just the way you like it. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibrant, modern atmosphere adds to the overall experience. While slightly on the pricier side, it’s well worth it for the flavor and quality — a must-visit spot for any hotpot lover.“

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬“

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Love this place. Great people, excellent food, awesome prices and fast service. My only complaint is that I wish they were open longer. They close early usually around 3-4 in the afternoon. Still tho, best little burger joint in the area. I'd rather go here versus in n out. For real.“

“The food and service is a 10! we will be back when in town. I'd come from Montana just to eat here it's that good“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“WOW! I love the simple menu here with dishes that have been perfected and are so so good. We came for dinner and it was pretty slow. Food is made fresh and takes a minute, but that’s to be expected. Highly recommended checking this place out and supporting this amazing small business!!!“

“Mixed reviews esp as of late may reflect a general ennui over the place. If you love Spanish food and chefs, for you Dos Besos will be solid, old fashioned, well executed, and yes, a bit forlorn. The outdoor cafe has potential for joy, but it just doesn't reach past its ropes. My tapas, sangria, and almond cake desert were lovely. As a solo diner, a lady at that, I thought service could have been more cosmopolitan, fresh, and to use an overused word, modern. On one hand I encountered a chef via phone earlier that day who was affable, warm. Then, when I met the head chef in person, he was cold, which is fine, do you. But there was no spark overall, just another semi-nice place to spend money on a Pasadena evening. A staff member was quick to give me his number, flirtatious. Between the hot and cold of the chef, and the staff, I wondered how rare it might be for a woman to come here solo to simply be quiet, people watch, eat well, and enjoy. I could be wrong, but I think the endeavor, the restaurant was a dream for the chef made true by a sugar mama (forgive the expression), and it does have that (sullen) sense of (dull) acceptance. I am glad I went, happy the chef suggested I sit outside, and appreciated the nearby lifeblood and bustle of a restaurant courtyard across the street, and the steady flow of energy into and out of Kings Taco - both visibile from the outdoor courtyard. The sangria, so good, I would love some right now. The almond cake, again, solid, well executed, but I would not say it was full of love.“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“ordered the Nozawa Trust Me and it did not disappoint! fish was fresh and brought out at a good pace - never went too long between plates, but also didn’t feel rushed. ordered some of the limited selection as well, and they were delicious (uni & eel)! highly recommend this place if you’re a sushi lover“

“Our server made our experience beyond excellent. We sat in one of their gorgeous patios and were treated to exquisite service and excellent homemade treats and delicious brunch choices. Everything was delicious and a great place to catch up with family, no one rushed us. We will be back!“

“Great food and drinks. Nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff and fast-service.

Con: Small parking lot and limited menu

Pros: Delicious food and drinks. The adult Arnold Palmer was the best, the chicken pesto pizza, the chicken buffalo bites are a must-try.“

“Our server was awesome... her recommendations were spot on! the food surpassed our expectations! exceptional...The ambiance was relaxing for a Friday night and perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. thank you for making it so special. Very happy party of 4 enjoyed dinner at Marina!“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“Very friendly with excellent service 💯💯“

“Wish I had taken photos of our food but it wouldn't have done it much justice. Pizza is delicious - every single bite. Had wings and Ceaser Salad. Service is hit and miss. I've dined here several times and two nights ago the bouncer was giving hella odd vibes. Food is worth it though lol.“

“Great food �“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Flew in from Las Vegas for the day with my son for an appointment next door, and we decided to have lunch here. We ordered a few appetizers (Hot & Sour Spup, Edamame, Mu Shu, Mussels, Letruce Wraps, Lobster & Shrimp Won Ton) to share, and my son had the Panda Inn Special. The service was amazing — very attentive and friendly. The food was great and perfect for sharing. A bit on the salty side for my taste, but my son absolutely loved it. Some of my photos may show the dishes after we had already started eating! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather — the patio area was lovely. Overall, a very nice restaurant and a great dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some good Asian cuisine.“

“Old school. Order at the window then pick up and eat at a table inside or out. Very fast service and delicious. My bottomless pit son could only eat half of his breakfast burrito! Lots of things on the menu, but it was our first time so we stuck with the famous burritos.
Can't wait to go back again.“

“We had such an incredible dining experience at The Royce Steak House, thanks to our amazing server Jorge. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcomed and taken care of. His knowledge of the menu and thoughtful recommendations were spot-on, and he struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. Our glasses were never empty, every course was timed perfectly, and he anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. It's rare to encounter service that elevates an already wonderful meal, but that's exactly what he did. The food at The Royce is outstanding, but Jorge's service made the evening truly memorable. We left feeling not only well-fed but genuinely valued as guests. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience. Finally I would like to thank the LAZ Valet Team for their warm welcome the second we arrived and handling everything very politely and professionally starting from the supervisor on shift to the Valet. Truly top level service. This is the service that truly makes the guest feel very special right from the start to the end of the night. I look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you very much everyone! Christian Zaky“

“I recommend for my friends and partners, a suitable place....nice meal🥰“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“A nice place for your food eating and ordering. Trusted and tested my many happy clients.“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“I had the all white meat Hainan Chicken plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend this place.“

“Cool atmosphere, great music, best bottomless mimosas, & Felix makes the best espresso martinis 🥰“

“This was my first time here. I’ve seen and driven by this place for years. I ordered a Torta, half asada and half Al pastor, it was really good, I enjoyed it. I also got a Pepino con Piña agua fresca, it was also really good. The downside is that their menu doesn’t have any prices listed, so you’re surprised by the total when they tell you it.“

“This was the perfect burger!!“
