Sweet Veggie - West Covina

No tip policy means you put your things away, which is not hard since everything is disposable. Buffet style with small area and the tables and chair setup is not great when crowded. Luckily, it wasn't busy today...and going for the "hot pot" or instant ramen self serve makes more options when eating here. Otherwise, you would have hot veggies, shaved ice. Beverages, and soup mainly. Biggest plus is obviously that vegetarian can eat safely without worries.

Sweet Veggie is the epitome of not judging a book by its cover -- kind of a run-down, isolated environment but they are serving up the most home-cooked, vegetarian dishes. Every time I come, I am surprised by the buffet variety, from thin rice noodles to herbal soups to pan-fried radish cakes, and even a shaved ice station. Also, the place is always so clean and quiet, even if the few tables are full. Love this hidden gem and will always be back!

No good variety, I went to the sweet veggie El Monte location before they closed and that one is more of a buffet style. This one they have very little options and half of the food isn’t even cooked by them. There’s only about 10 bins of food cooked by them and then the rest is an instant noodle section with not much variety. One of the workers keeps walking around staring at what people are doing and asked what I was doing by putting veggies before my instant noodles in a bowl. It felt like she was constantly breathing down our necks watching what everyone was doing. It is extremely cramped and not very wheelchair friendly. Also the plates, cups, utensils, and bowls are paper, feels like a low effort restaurant. Nothing like El Monte location and not worth the drive. I would not recommend

Cute vegan buffet place to eat. I saw many people came with their family. It’s kids friendly too. Their food amazingly are tasty considering it’s vegan. They have soup , noodles and veggies. They also have Taiwanese shaved ice & ice cream. The place is clean & the wait for table is not long. Most importantly are the food that delicious.

Clean and bright, with lots of vegetarian and vegan food. There is a buffet with a hot bar, cold bar, drink bar, and desert options. One flat payment up front for all you can eat, which at this time is only $13.99 for an adult (no tip!) Whether you’re a vegetarian or vegan this place is an amazing value; it also breaks the stereotype some small Asian restaurants in this region feeling a bit run-down or dirty. This place has an A health rating and it’s obvious the minute you walk in. Has a great selection of prepackaged foods to take home too. Highly recommend for the vegetarian, vegan, and budget conscious!
