50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Costa Mesa

“manager Saeed is outstanding the coffee was hot the server was very attentive I'll be sure to go back“

“My reservations is patio but since it was pretty warm that day, I asked to be seated inside . There were about 20 empty tables inside but VINCE from the reception won't seat us inside . When we left , there were still 5 empty tables . Why wouldn't he accommodate us ?“

“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.“

“We stopped by Lemon & Thyme on a whim after our daughter’s swim lesson, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, our server, who I believe may have been the owner, was one of the most warm, vivacious people I’ve ever met. He greeted us with the biggest smile and gave us the kind of service that instantly makes you feel at home.

He made us feel so welcomed, like we were family. The level of thoughtfulness was above and beyond,he even brought out extra treats like french fries and ice cream for our toddler, which absolutely made her night. It’s rare to experience that kind of genuine hospitality.

And the food? Incredible. The spicy rigatoni was easily one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. I added shrimp to it and… chef’s kiss. It was rich, flavorful, perfectly spicy. honestly one of the best meals I’ve had since moving to SoCal. My husband ordered the salmon and that was just as delicious.

Between the amazing food and the unforgettable service, this place really left an impression. I already know I’ll be back, next time for a little bestie dinner date. This might officially be my new go to spot for rigatoni, and I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.“

“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.“

“Excellent service by Elizabeth, she is so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and it was obviously made with high quality ingredients. For example, the egg yolks had a deep orange color, and the crab in crab salad tasted very fresh. Solid choice for a meal any time of day.“

“Authentic, great service, fun staff!“

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

“It was a very fun experience! The lady was super kind, the food was really good, my friends who hadn't really eaten Viet food before loved it and told me they'd want to come back. Other comments were definitely right about the Vietnamese coffee being super good! I also really loved the Lychee tea.“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“Amazing Japanese cuisine in Costa Mesa, CA. This place is one of the best Japanese restaurants in all of Orange County. The interior style resembles what all Japanese restaurants should look like, and most importantly, the food and service was top notch. They have an extensive sushi menu and it has always been very fresh and also Japanese imported. Hands down, my top 5 favorite Japanese restaurants in California.“

“Been coming here for 2yrs. Always fresh, clean and delicious. James is a Master.“

“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 :)“

“The food is very fresh, creative and fun! Lots of great drinks to choose from - either with or without alcohol! Cudos to Chef Zachary for his talented culinary achievement.“

“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.“

“Very good“

“Meiji Seimen Costa Mesa is an incredible Japanese noodle spot with authentic flavors and a cozy atmosphere. The handmade udon and ramen were perfectly cooked with rich, comforting broth and fresh ingredients. Every dish felt carefully prepared and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit place for anyone craving high-quality Japanese comfort food!“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️“

“I love this place, absolutely stunning and the food was delicious. Our cashier was the best, her name was Rubi. RAISE HER SALARY, she’s the best.

First time being here, and I already want to come back!!!!🙂😊“

“Really enjoyed a great breakfast here polite hostess and the food was absolutely delicious“

“It was really good! I had this place save and wanted to try it. I’m glad I came here. I ordered the omelette chicken katsu curry. The only thing I would say is their rice was a tad mushy otherwise ok. Next time, I would ask for the chicken katsu on the side (not touching the curry).“

“The owner, Kev is absolutely accomodating! Not to mention every time I've gotten my lunch, the food is so tasty and fresh! They are truly a lifesaver - given I'm at work and always on calls. A lot of their food has a middle eastern twist and it taste soooo good! Its a must-try. You won't be dissapointed at all!“

“I can’t believe what I thought I was eating before was pizza! Such fresh ingredients, I felt I was eating direct from the garden. Even the plentiful cheese tasted super fresh. Make note that this excellent pie takes time to make. You can rush perfection. Be patient and have a beer on tap!“

“This is an excellent spot for date night. Drinks are great and the ceviche was so good - very refreshing with so much flavor. We also couldn't pass up on the papa rellenas!“

“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.“
