50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Costa Mesa

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“I haven’t had solid food in three weeks and I called this place because I’ve never ordered from them before. Over the phone They were so sweet and nice and able to help me pick out a smoothie. I got it delivered on DoorDash and it’s the best thing I’ve ever had thank y’all so much you’re awesome.“

“Really great ice cream and so many choices also there’s a menu kist in case you can’t decide 😉“

“Great experience, the good reviews is what drove me to try this restaurant and I completely see why. Service and food was excellent, I sat in the bar area and Rocky was my server. Always checking in, making recommendations, etc. Would recommend! I had the cedar salmon, and the mixed green is super good with the roasted oat style topping.“

“Very delicious food ❤️Friendly staff❤️“

“We found Avila’s El Ranchito on-line and decided to give it a try. We had about 45 minute wait so we knew it must be good. A little mix up in the list to be seated. There was another “David party of 2” that arrived AFTER we did but they jumped at the chance to be seated before us. The staff was very friendly. The portions were large enough that we shared a meal and were plenty satisfied. The food was very delicious. The salsa was not what you would call mild so for those with sensitive palates be aware! The atmosphere was loud inside but relatively quiet outside. We would dine at this restaurant again.“

“Great customer service! Placed an order over the phone for pick up. Spicy Rigatoni ADD chicken. Lemon Ricotta Ravioli ADD Shrimp. Out of this world. Better than Mama Ds and Maggianos! Artichoke appetizer perfectly executed. Will come back again.“

“Was looking forward to trying their Noodles & Tempura and finally did yesterday for the first time. And I’m back today. Marugame Udon has created a new raving fan. I’m a a big fan of the food and the people that work there. Jensen was super helpful guiding me through the menu options. His cheerful smile was only topped by his knowledge and willingness to help his customers get the best meal and help his coworkers provide great service. I enjoyed my experience and came back today to try the #5 on his recommendation.“

“We absolutely love this place; the food, the people, and the prices couldn’t be better. I am vegetarian and my partner is not, yet these vegan options are as close to their traditional counterparts as anyone could hope for. My fav is the asada fries. They also have amazing horchata!“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“cute, delicious, fantastic customer service“

“The Harp Inn is a gem. Great live music, super friendly staff (including the owner), and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The Irish food is excellent — highly recommend the Irish breakfast. They also have a great outdoor patio.“

“Honestly AMAZING! I was skeptical at first because it was in an office space but MAN that breakfast burrito was soooooo good! Exactly what I wanted. Light, good amount of meat and cheese and not greasy. I got a Vietnamese coffee to go with it and it was also delicious! I will be coming back :)“

“Shout out to the entire team. Xavier did a stellar job as our host: attentive, responsive, fast, and very friendly. My whole family felt welcomed.
From making a reservation to getting seated and the actual dinner my experience was great. I will definitely return.“

“Delicious Italian cuisine! Stylish interior of the Restaurant!“

“Food and portions were decent but not as affordable as some of the other options for Udon especially in the area around Costa Mesa which has plenty of other options nearby. Nonetheless it’s a nice little cozy udon place that does the job.“

“Very good“

“Have been a very satisfied regular @EatChow CM for several years. The menu varies seasonally, selections are plated attractively & are always delicious; love the fried green tomatoes😋. Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️“

“I wish I had more photos but I’m from another state and I always stop by ramen nagi every time I come visit. Broth is amazing pork belly is so tender and the additional egg is always perfect.

“Really, really good food and an affordable price. Clean dining area with helpful service from the staff. Temporary construction on the building next door makes it a bit challenging to park but well worth it. Had the chicken swarma plate, a good size portion of seasoned chicken with delicious fluffy rice and tasty salad.“

“So good!!! A must when in Orange County!“

“My favorite spot for wonderful food in a funky, hip atmosphere. Chicken and waffles are a must!“

“Mendocino Farms is a go-to spot for a fresh, satisfying lunch. The Farm Club sandwich paired with the tomato basil soup was the perfect portion—filling without being too heavy—and packed with excellent flavor. The soup was especially well-balanced and comforting.

Another standout combo was the Chicken Pesto Caprese sandwich with the Lemon Chicken and Farro soup. Both were incredibly flavorful, but the soup truly stole the show—absolutely off the charts. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, making it an easy place to come back to again and again.“

“Updated review - 2nd visit and it was as good as ever. Ordered omelet chicken katsu curry and added mix vegetables. So delicious makes you want to keep eating even though the portions are generous. Looking forward to my 3rd visit

Original Review. Hands down best Katsu Curry I have had that wasn’t in Japan or homemade. Portion sizes are perfect, I ordered a large, but was so hungry I finished it easily. We had chicken katsu curry, tonkatsu curry and karrage. So much flavor in everything. If asked if you want your curry spicy, say yes, Japanese curry is not that spicy. It is homemade curry sauce and it is incredible. The staff, Alex and Dave, made the experience 5 Star, just a couple of incredible individuals.“

“Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA 📍hands down 10/10, food and experience. We stopped in here after the wonderful owner, Kurt, invited us down to try his delicious sandwiches! And safe to say we made the right choice. These sandwiches are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. This location has been here since 2013, however beach hut has been around since the 80’s. They even add cream cheese to some of their sandwiches! 😋 The staff was wonderful, including the owner Kurt. You are missing out if you don’t stop in to get a sandwhich, tell them coco sent you!“

“Come here for lunch and pick up dinner! Excellent Mexican food in Costa Mesa right on Fairview and Baker. The caldo de res and caldo de pollo are soooo goood! Perfect balance of veggies and meat …my family loves it ♥️“

“THE BEST CHEESESTEAK. One try and you will understand. Great great sandwich!“

“They have real chilaquiles not the chips covered in sauce!! Very delicious!“

“Way better coffee than the chain coffee shops, and Chai is delicious too. They offer two chai selections, vanilla and spice, or mix the two. Small selection of pastries, which are average, packaged protein bars and juice shots, and a few breakfast items on the menu. Will try one of those next time. Friendly staff that you don't mind tipping, and cute, simple decor. Plenty of free parking.“

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“
