50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Buena Park

“We were served by Rachel who was amazingly cheerful, positive, friendly & professional at 7am! She made the whole experience extremely special. We are from the UK on vacation & ate here on 2 mornings, both were excellent food at great value. Thanks.“

“Thomas, Cody and staff were excellent! Had a great dinner, great service.“

“This year we chose Black Bear diner for the location of our annual Chrispen Team Pumpkin Pie giveaway, and we couldn't have been more impressed. The manager Isaid was amazing from the start helping me plan the event and order hundreds of pies. The large patio provided a private and cheerful atmosphere and was the perfect spot for the event. Carlos and the rest of the staff were amazingly attentive and handled everything we needed on the day of the event. All of our clients raved about how delicious the pies were and loved the convenient location. We can't wait to come back next year!“

“It's always pretty busy but for good reasoning. The salads are fresh, crisp, and have great assortments of ingredients that place them right on the intersection of healthy & indulgent!!! I loved the chicken ceasar, but the apple pomegranate is truly something else! The soup they have as a special right now is everything I look for in a soup; warm, comforting, and hearty. The bread they serve with it dipped in the broth is the icing on the cake. Everybody already knows that they nail the sugary stuff! Their baked goods are dangerously delicious. My fave dessert is Tiramisu and Porto's NAILS IT! Their marscapone cream is super light and airy and with the little bits of chocolate and ladyfingers, along with that espresso flavor?! UGH. It's incredible. They do great strawberry matchas btw, their creamy strawberry puree is what makes it special. You can tell it's not artificial flavoring. I love the tea bags they use in their earl greys as well! I've had many cheese and guava danishes at various events along with trying other desserts at birthdays and my two dine in visits thus far, and I'VE NEVER bern disappointed. Porto's is peak indulgent comfort food, made with ingredients that I feel are high quality. Id also say personally, that I feel like everything is a good price for how fresh it is! Annette is a total sweetheart and a literal ray of sunshine by the way, her customer service is amazing!!! Jason gave my sister and I amazing service as well! Our family loves Porto's! 🫶🏻😊“

“They had a tasty vegan option, the entertainment was on point and the server was good too- the only bad thing - lost my purse there and can't contact anyone to ask - gotta make the trip out there to check if there's a lost and found 🤞“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!“

“Their Brunch is good and cheap“

“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Good food and service……..“

“This place is truly a home style gem. They make everything themselves, from the kimchi to all the side dishes, and everything is so fresh. It is the spot I always crave after work. The service and the food are both excellent. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of my favorite Mala Tang chain spots. I usually go to Chinese Mala Tang places in the San Gabriel Valley, so I was really surprised at how tasty this Korean-style Malatang is. It’s set up like a buffet — you pick your own ingredients from the bar, including different types of noodles. Everything is fresh, and they restock the bar often. They also have a self serve sauce station so you can mix your own perfect dipping sauce for your bowl.

I really love the potato noodles — they taste so cute and have that chewy boba like texture. The staff is super friendly, and it only takes about 10 minutes for them to cook your customized Malatang. They also have other dishes on the menu, and you should definitely try them. My favorite is the Guobaorou — crispy fried pork sirloin with a sweet and sour sauce. The flavor is very unique and totally different from the regular sweet & sour pork you see elsewhere. A must-try!

Quick tips:
Pixiu Mala Hongtang is on the 2nd floor inside The Source OC entertainment center. There is plenty of parking available. This place is very vegetarian friendly with lots of veggie options. Just note: the ingredient bar only has beef and lamb for meat selections.“

“How do I start? Oh yeah, friendly staff, efficient service, clean venue and de-lish everything! That about sums it all up... No frills! Just great tasting grub if you're into that sort of thing. Wifey loves the array of deliciousness available but almost always orders waffles! Keep the coffee coming!!!“

“Great food when in the mood for udon noodles or Ramen. Every dish tasted amazing and there was a variety of choices to include appetizers. Plenty of seating after pouring in your order at the kiosk. Once you're number is called you pick up your order and add spices, oils, ginger,etc as you want to your dish. When done you bring your trays to a stacked area (kind of full). Plenty of parking up front and the restrooms were clean.“

“los de tripa bom!!!!!muy buenos“

“Broth is great Staff is very helpful & Vibe is great 8.5“

“My family & I love this place! The food is delicious & they have kim chi fried rice & other items some place don’t offer. The staff is also super nice & you get free delicious ice cream! We’ve eaten at other places & it doesn’t come close to here . The price is so good in comparison too!“

“Located in a small retail Center at Rosecrans and Beach Boulevard, the people are friendly and the food is delish. Plenty a parking for all including handicapped and bikes! Food is moderately priced. Go there, you won't be disappointed!“

“Great food but telling me to celebrate my birthday at Pauls place? There are many places including Jersey Mike's, Farmer Boys, and restaurants etc that give you free food for your birthday. I'll celebrate it at those places. That being said, The quality at Paul's has always been top notch every time. 5 stars for food minus 1 for no promotions.“

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“The service was so friendly, it felt like you were eating at aunties house. We had the short rib soup and the brisket soup. Both were so clean and flavorful! The real highlight is the banchan. The radish kimchi and the fish cakes were my favorite. This place will definitely be in our weekly rotation!“

“Evangeline was amazing from start to finish. Her energy was so warm and welcoming, and her service was truly incredible. She made our experience feel special. The food was also amazing. Everything was perfect! The uni udon was our favorite.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Myungin Dumplings – Buena Park’s Hidden Gem of Korean Comfort

If you find yourself anywhere near Buena Park, Myungin Dumplings is an absolute must-visit. This cozy Korean dumpling house delivers far more than a meal — it’s an experience of warmth, flavor, and care.

I ordered the steamed dumplings with sweet red bean and the steamed dumpling with pork and vegetables, and I’m still dreaming about them. Each order came with four softball-sized dumplings — massive, tender, and generously filled. These weren’t your average restaurant dumplings (which so often feel half-empty). Myungin’s dumplings are overflowing with rich, juicy filling that melts in your mouth. They were soft, pillowy, and as tender as 어머니의 사랑처럼 부드럽다 (a mother’s love).

To start, my table was presented with a spicy daikon salad and a crisp shredded lettuce salad — simple, refreshing, and perfectly balanced against the hearty dumplings. The service was exceptional — kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s clear that this team takes pride in their food and their guests.

The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and handicap accessible, with a large lot offering free parking. There’s something for everyone here — from meat lovers to vegetarians — and each dish is prepared with care.

I’m heading back home to Seattle this week, and I already know I’ll be longing for my return to Myungin Dumplings. Thankfully, my hotel has a refrigerator, because I fully intend to take some of these heavenly buns home with me — if they make it that far!

Myungin Dumplings isn’t just a restaurant. It’s comfort, generosity, and craftsmanship wrapped in soft, steaming dough. Five stars all the way.“

“The best Gob Chang restaurant in the Buena Park area. Food comes out already mostly cooked and is kept hot on small burner, so no bbq smell after eating. Meat quality is great, and their side dishes are the best combination of the meat. Their pork belly is great also. And definitely try their cold noodle.“

“This is my nostalgia almost like my 2nd home because of how much I love the food here. When I was a kid, I went to the one in La Palma and then the one that burned down in Rowland Heights and eventually had to close. So eventually my family would roll over to here since it was the closest to us.

I love their soups and the simple side dishes. It’s a very humble and simple place.

The day this place closes will be the end of an era, but I know this place will outlive me 🥲“

“All the banchans (free) were delicious and they gave at least 6 different kinds! They do not skimp on ingredients. The main dishes were absolutely delightful and huge in portion. It feels like your at your aunt's home with warm service and loving care. Such a wonderful heartfelt experience!! Not a fancy interior... more of a soulfood atmosphere!“

“Excelente servicio, un café de olla riquísimo, gracias 🙏“

“We ordered the Chicken Nanban and the Saba (Mackerel) both were delicious and full of flavor. Everyone was polite and we were served quickly. We will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes. Highly recommend!!!

You should also order Calpico Citrus drink to go with your meal super refreshing.“

“I had an amazing experience at the Kobe Gyukatsu restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the service was truly outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it really made the whole dining experience special.

The food itself was exceptional. The gyukatsu was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside—and full of rich flavor. Every bite was satisfying and showed the care and quality that went into preparing it. Alongside the main dish, all the sides were fresh and balanced, complementing the meat beautifully.

One of the highlights of the evening was the matcha beer. It was unique, refreshing, and surprisingly smooth, pairing wonderfully with the meal. It’s definitely something I would recommend trying if you visit.

Overall, this restaurant combines excellent service with top-quality food and drinks. I left with a smile, completely satisfied, and already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“Amazing food! The Kingsley is one of the best pizzas I have ever had and I’m. It a pizza person! Now, I will only have pizza from here! Love it!“

“great place,great food...highly recommend!“

“We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. Had to wait through a lot of Knott's Scary Farm traffic just to get in the parking lot though. Even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes past that time, but we could see that there were open tables available. I figured since it is wide open inside, it'd be pretty loud, but it really wasn't bad. We could still hold a conversation and hear each other well, even though there were music videos playing and lots of people around us. Our servers were really attentive. Our main server had to take a break and was really transparent about handing us off to someone else. We ordered a Bloody Mary (spicy!! but safe), and a strawberry basil margarita (decent). For our meals we got the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was excellent. It had lots of flavor, the perfect amount of cheese, and wasn't greasy or soggy at all. I'd be hard-pressed to order something different if we ever visit a R&B again! We also got the Blackened Chicken Pasta, which was very good too - just the right amount of spice, good flavors, and the chicken was perfect. Overall, we had a really good experience at Rock & Brews, and would come back if we're ever visiting the area again.“

“As a small business owner myself, I often entertain family and potential clients with gatherings at our Ocean Breeze Living Board and Care. I have used Supreme Pizza several times. Everyone LOVES it! Freshly made to order, with what I call their secret red sauce. I do not usually like red sauce, but I love theirs.
Great family owned business, with excellent personal service.“

“Fresh Bagels & Cafe is a popular local spot for bagels, breakfast, and lunch. Even on busy days, the food and service don't disappoint. The kind and hardworking staff can get you in and out quickly. I've been enjoying the food here for a few years.

I appreciate the variety of freshly baked bagels, along with a selection of cream cheese flavors. A few favorite items include toasted bagels with lox-flavored cream cheese, breakfast/omelette bagel sandwiches, and the Lox City bagel, which is perfect for hungrier mornings. The hot coffee options are good with your standard creams, sugars, and spices.

The traditional and specialty sandwiches served on a Dutch Crunch roll are also delicious. Additional food items include classic muffins, fresh rolls, croissants, and flavored cream cheeses to take home. The drinks available feature a variety of coffees, juices, smoothies, boba, teas, and more.

I'd recommend this place, and I'm looking forward to visiting again.“

“Great first-time dining experience at Fei Xiang Gong Buena Park. If you wanted an alternative to the typical kbbq, I would definitely recommend checking out this place. Our personal faves were the different kebab skewers. Service was a stand-out as well. Our servers were all friendly and helpful.“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“kantutan to the max😂😂😂 see photo“

“I recently visited Haru Sushi, a to-go sushi spot that offers an exceptional experience in both taste and value for money. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.The most compelling aspect of Haru Sushi is its remarkable value for the quality of taste. The sushi, made with fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship of seasoned sushi chefs, melts delightfully in your mouth, providing a joyful experience with every bite. The ability to enjoy various kinds of sushi at a reasonable price was particularly satisfying for me, someone who prioritizes good value.However, my nearly perfect experience at Haru Sushi came with a slight inconvenience. The establishment only accepts cash and not credit cards. In today's society, where digital payments have become the norm, the need to prepare cash in advance could be seen as a minor nuisance. Nevertheless, this small inconvenience is easily outweighed by the exceptional taste and value offered by Haru Sushi.In conclusion, Haru Sushi stands out as a to-go sushi spot for its excellent taste and value for money. While the inability to use credit cards is a downside, the quality and price certainly make up for it. I am fully inclined to revisit Haru Sushi whenever the opportunity arises. I highly recommend Haru Sushi to anyone looking to enjoy delicious sushi at a reasonable price.“

“I rarely can find vegan sweets at theme parks. The Berry Tart appears to be more common, but they do offer some seasonal treats. The Berry Tart did have undisclosed nuts, pistachios. If you have allergies I would probably not go to this place. Based on my experience with other restaurants at Knotts, they do not take food allergies very seriously.“

“yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy 🤤 yummy“

“Great environment, classy entertainment and the food is very delicious with reasonable prices. And, when it comes to their service it’s outstanding“

“Always good service.
The food over all is really good. Of course the people is good. The wagu appetizer is amazing. Truffle fries are on spot. Fried rice is good. My favorite is the combo pho with extra order of noodles for free.

The wait is always long. Highly recommend that you join the waitlist via Yelp.“

“Vinimos de San Francisco a comer y todo súper rico nos encantó la comida muy casera delicioso“

“This is my favorite poke place that I’ve been going to for a while! The food is always fresh and I really like that I can get my favorite fish and toppings, my vegan sister has tofu options, and my 6 year old can get macrons or ice cream. Sometimes I switch it up and get the yubu and miso soup, which are both awesome. The staff is always nice and friendly, which is a great bonus.“

“We came in today 7/22/2024 about 2pm and Oscar was awesome. He acknowledged us when we walked in. Answered our questions and gave us information we didn’t have already to help make sure we got the most of our experience. Usually everyone we come in contact with that is a cast member or employee (team member, etc) is pleasant and helpful but, we really appreciated his help in trying to find a Woodstock shoulder sitter plush. We look forward to our next visit. He even changed our mind about next years season passes. We weren’t going to renew as we had lost the valuable aspects of our gold pass. He directed us to the Information building where they answered all our questions and informed us about the validation for parking we had paid for today and applied it to our purchase for season parking the rest of this year. If it hadn’t been for Oscar we would have left much less happy and misinformed. Leaving a sour experience. THANK YOU OSCAR! YOU’RE AWESOMESAUCE!“
