50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Camp Pendleton North

“Hibachi-San on base at Camp Pendleton is one of those spots that never disappoints. The staff is friendly, professional, and always welcoming they greet you the second you walk through the door, which makes the place feel inviting right away. The restaurant is consistently clean and well-kept, from the kitchen area to the dining tables, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their work.

The service is quick, even during the lunch rush, and the team handles every order with care. The food is fresh, hot, and cooked right in front of you, so you always know what you’re getting. Whether it’s the chicken teriyaki, beef yakisoba, or the classic fried rice, everything tastes just as good as it smells. Portions are generous, and you get great value for what you pay.

It’s clear the crew works hard to keep customers happy they remember faces, get orders right, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. In a fast-paced setting like Camp Pendleton, it’s nice to have a place that’s consistent, clean, and welcoming. Hibachi-San is easily one of the best food stops on base and worth coming back to every time.“

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“Choose the short ribs if you are looking for a flavor-filled meal, the Pad Thai for consistency, and absolutely order the cheesecake for dessert. You can skip the appetizer, it fell flat for us. We got there at opening and it was loud inside.“

“My absolute favorite place in Oceanside. Owners and employees are always so welcoming and kind. I go multiple times a week to get work done and have always felt so welcomed. They have my favorite chai latte, which is phenomenal. Occasionally I will grab an avocado toast and it never disappoints.“

“Amazing coffee - bold and smooth. Kind, joyful great humans! Love this place. Come visit, you’ll be so glad you did!
We are back again this morning. Flat white and a delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin for me, house drip and a delicious almond croissant for my hubby. The coffee is perfection here, no matter what is ordered. Jason carefully and thoughtfully asks enough questions to be able to make each drink to perfection. He even got the tiny bit of raw sugar in my flat white perfect. I’m so impressed. Be sure to find Camp Coffee and their awesome crew whenever you visit O’side. It’s a real treat.“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Sundays are meal prep day so I venture over to the only vegan grocery in my area to grab the essentials for a week of easy lunches and found my all time favorite frozen pizza #blackbyrdpizza and so much more. Everything is here for a plant-based diet.🌿 #iykyk“

“The food is so good, fresh and delicious typically Indian food.“

“Some of the best breakfast I've ever had.“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

“NiNi was our server…she and the kitchen crew were exceptional! Nini was kind, happy, efficient and attentive. GREAT service and also…tasty food. Air conditioning wasn’t working but we still enjoyed the food and service! We had an excellent dinner. Thanks!!“

“Birria Tacos are fantastic! Location fresh & lively and beers plentiful and delicious.“

“Excellent quality food and service . Chef Angelo does a great job and making true Italian food.“

“Dang! This coffee is good. Tried a latte, espresso, and a slice of sourdough with natural peanut butter, sliced banana, and honey drizzle. It was all delicious. Rich bold coffee flavor. There is only one size for hot drinks and one size for cold drinks - which i think makes this place even better. There were a few places to sit and enjoy your coffee. Folks inside are very nice and helpful.“

“I have been on the hunt for the best breakfast burrito in Oceanside/ Carlsbad, and definitely found it here! The Cali burrito and bacon, egg, and cheese were top tier. The atmosphere is perfect bc you’re right on the water basically. Iced lattes were great too! Check this place out!“

“I had the pineapple yellow curry with shrimp for my main dish and I ordered the chicken wings for an appetizer, the sweet plumb sauce totally sets it off. If you like great Thai food for a reasonable price go to Lur Ros, you'll get full and have some to take home with you!“

“Dear Beer Town Oceanside, I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for the fantastic experiences I've had at your establishment. From the moment I walk in, I'm always greeted by your friendly and attentive staff who make me feel right at home.

“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!“

“Handel’s is hands-down the best ice cream around! Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, I never knew ice cream could taste so good. Huge portions, amazing variety, and friendly service make it a must-visit every time I’m in the area. The only place where brain freeze is totally worth it.” 🧊“

On an occasion that we waited a little longer for our food, the young manager came over with a $20 gift card for the inconvenience. Nice touch and smart way to make sure your guests come back!“

“We loved the food. The place is very large with a good size banquet room.I had stuffed shells and the Salmon The Salmon was a little undercooked for out tasted. It was cooked Alaska style. We sent back and a few minutes later it came back perfect. There's a large wine selecting coming from several countries. The price was reasonable.“

“Excellent food and service!“
