50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Fountain Valley

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.“

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.“

“Very good environment and food!“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“As a vegetarian, I’m often met with limited choices at upscale restaurants—but this place was a refreshing exception. The menu offered an impressive variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, each one bursting with creativity. The chef’s artistry was evident in every beautifully plated dish—vibrant, fresh, and perfectly balanced in flavor.

This restaurant isn’t just about food; it’s a celebration of both cuisine and culture. Standout dishes like the Golden Reed and Forest Layers left a lasting impression.

Service was equally exceptional. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, adding to the overall experience. This was more than a meal—it was a thoughtfully crafted culinary journey. Highly recommended.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Halalglu Turkish Restaurant in Costa Mesa. Not only is the food authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, but the staff is truly incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The team was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect.

Every dish was cooked to perfection. The spices and fresh ingredients brought out the best in every bite. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for any occasion.

As a halal restaurant, it’s also a top choice for those looking for delicious and quality halal options. I highly recommend Halalglu to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for outstanding Turkish cuisine and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.“

“Great selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.“

“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊“

“Super yummy ! Had a appetizer platter and dessert !“

“Sushi Plus is a gem! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the customer service is truly something special. It has that small-town warmth that makes you feel like family every time you walk through the door.

As someone with celiac disease, finding a place that takes gluten-free dining seriously can be hard—but Karen, Yukon, and the whole team go above and beyond. They remember my dietary needs, take every precaution, and I have never gotten sick. I always feel safe eating here, and that peace of mind means everything. (Did I mention the food is DELICIOUS?!)

Thank you for your continued care, kindness, and amazing food! One of the favorite weekly meals with my husband. 😊“

“Delicious turkish kebap (kabob), döner, lahmacun, meze plates, and desserts! And the most important dish of all, iskender kebap ("Alexander kebab" )! My favorite! 😛 Just be careful about the pepper 🌶️ that comes with the iskender... it's spicy 🔥

The sitting area is small but comfortable and they also have some outdoor seating.“

“Good food, good service, okay atmosphere. Oh and good prices too! This is a local spot for me. I love customizing the spicy tuna roll to include cilantro!

My 2 gripes:
1) The specialty rolls are overloaded with sauces (I don't order anymore)
2) I wish they had a menu for making custom rolls (I always have to ask the server for my custom order)

Having to ask the server is more work and leaves prices/options ambiguous. Leading me to a more simple customization.

Parking: Parking all over.

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as sushi gets. It's not a place made for kids, but the atmosphere is conducive to bringing kids along.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“This place is the real deal. Easily one of the best fish and chips I've had in Orange County if not the best so far. You might convince yourself the near $30 price tag at places like santa monica seafood would give you better fish and chips but it's not the case. the batter here is crispy and much more delicate. not heavy and greasy like the beer battered options. I paid $12 for 3 giant pieces of fish. the value is fantastic and the quality is good. only complaints are that the inside can use a thorough dusting (don't look at the fan) and that the fries have potential to be a lot better. tbh if the fries resembled something closer to European chips I would pay another $10 for this plate happily.“

“Moonlight Pizza and Chicken – Hidden Gem -Middle Eastern / Mediterranean buffet

I came across Moonlight Pizza and Chicken while exploring near Westminster and it turned out to be an incredible find. They offer a Middle Eastern open buffet that’s truly unbeatable for the price — $14.99 for lunch and $15.99 for dinner. Honestly, for the variety and quality, it’s an amazing deal.

The buffet spread is full of authentic flavors — the lamb stew was juicy and flavorful, the stew was rich and comforting, and the tabbouleh, hummus, and fresh salad options were top-notch. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned.

What makes it even more special is that this is a family-owned restaurant with over 30 years of history. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality in the service — the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They also offer catering services, which I can easily imagine being a hit for any event.

The food has a wonderful blend of Turkish, Armenian, Arabic, and Persian influences, making the flavors both unique and familiar at the same time. It’s a place where you’ll want to go back again and again, not just for the food, but also for the atmosphere and kindness of the people running it.

Great value
Authentic flavors
Warm, family-owned feel

Definitely a spot worth visiting — delicious food, amazing people, and a buffet deal that’s hard to beat.“

“This is my favorite raw vegan restaurant! They also have a large menu of cooked vegan (or maybe that should be the other way around). I haven't tried their cooked food, but it looks absolutely delicious! I have not been to LA or the area in many years, and I am missing Au Lac!“

“Loved the service and the Flo experience and attitude was an awesome bonus. Food was good. Ordered and served within moments. Good portions. OJ and coffee was great. Coffee was always hot and topped off without asking for it.CASH or venmo only. Or she, "Flo" will make you wash dishes. I wish I had asked her for a name.“

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food“

“Absolutely loved it here. The food was amazing. ❤️“

“Ikram Bakery – Shawarma, Falafel & Sweets That Keep You Coming Back

If you’re in Orange County and craving legit Mediterranean flavors, Ikram Bakery is where it’s at. Their shawarma is juicy, packed with spice, and wrapped in the freshest bread. The falafel is perfectly crispy outside, soft and herby inside—no dry bites here.

Then there’s the baklava—flaky n just the right amount of sweet. Pair it with their simit, a fresh, sesame-crusted Turkish bagel, or a bowl of sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) if you’re in the mood for something creamy and comforting, suggest always take some to go.

And if you have time? Sit down with a cup of their Turkish coffee—strong, rich, and the perfect way to end your meal. Tried it once, and now I’m a customer for life. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷“

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.“

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

“Sushi Koto is always a treat for me. I love to come here for what I feel is the next best thing to eating in Japan. There is always a wait for Sunday brunch, but they do take reservations. Excellent service and friendly staff. This is definitely not your ordinary neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend it!“

“Tony knows how to do it right... will recommend“

“Very good Thai food. Staff were very friendly. Good price for portions.“

“Pizza was good. Price was fair. Dough was a little "doughy" (slightly undercooked) toppings were fair. Id like more, but I've seen less. The young man working there though was unexpectedly ?! I ordered on the phone to pick up, and when i walked inside--so shout out to him for sure ;)“

“Food was delicious! We ordered crab toast, shrimp fried rice, pork belly rice bowl, curry crab omelette. It was a super busy Saturday lunchtime, above average noise level and food took a little time. I told our server, Brandon, that my son cannot eat anything spicy. I didn't notice when our food came out that my son's fried rice had chili flakes on top. Brandon checked up on us and immediately saw this. He apologized and tool the food back to the kitchen. It was given priority and it did not long to come out. I appreciate his concern and good service.“

“Ugh.... First the driver delivers half of our order with half of someone else's order. We ordered 2 small pizzas, large chicken caesar salad and 2 large meatballs. We received our two pizzas with someone else's small pizza and mozzarella sticks. We called the store, told them what happened. The other lady missing her food had already called. So they will send a salad and meatballs (and yes, we offered to pay for the extra pizza and mozzarella sticks). 45 minutes later the salad arrives with NO dressing. And 8 tiny meatballs... Bummer!!! PS: We still love you FCP!“

“Excellent food and service. Thanks Jonathan for all you do to help out the community.👍“

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.“

“Best atmosphere!! and Really good food!!!“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“I discovered this place by chance while walking by and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. I had the one with roast beef, turkey, ham, and avocado, and it was absolutely amazing. The portions are large, the price is great, and everything is served fresh. I highly recommend checking it out!“

“Classic pizzeria style taste & atmosphere. Not something you see much anymore and I feel is a lost art. Very underappreciated, nice to see it alive here.“

“I went there for the first time I ordered 5 piece sashimi was very good and fresh ordered twice and delicious oysters omg 😳 and sashimi scallops was outstanding I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ordered a variety of items and my expectations were blown out of the water. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. As a very frugal individual, I would gladly pay anytime for this echelon of quality. If you are looking for a top notch Japanese grilling experience, this restaurant is THE best if not one of the best choices you could decide on.

The servers are also very nice, and the atmosphere is cozy. 10/10!“

“They have the best Canh Chu Ca! Really really. My family has been going for years. We crave it. When we tried to go on a Tuesday and they were closed we went elsewhere but it just wasn't as good. Mirada cooks the fish so that it is still so succulent. The flavor of the broth is perfectly balanced and tart. Please give this place a try for healthy Vietnamese food.“

“Kobe Sushi is one of my favorite sushi spots for as long as I can remember. The Black Pepper Tuna roll and Sashimi platter are our top choices. 100% recommend!“

“First time here and it's pretty authentic here. The food was good, service was decent. Definitely would come back. I like spicy food so thankfully I had my own chilis I brought from home.

Prices are good too!! Very well priced.“

“This is the OG spot. Been coming to Philly’s Best for more than 20 years and have a lot of great memories especially at this location! Went to a different one today and they didn’t have the pepper/pickle bar, didn’t serve beer, and no condiments at the tables like this place does.

Not making that mistake again, this was the first Phillys Best where the chain was born and it’s still the best

Parking: Super easy to find parking here, I’ve never had a problem

Kid-friendliness: My dad used to bring me here all the time growing up and I loved the arcade games they had in the corner by the bathroom

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, shouldn’t have a problem at all“

“Thank You Madison for the great customer service. Not too many places can left where they remember just your face but she also remembers the the food way You order your food. Thank You Madison and for helping papa z's be one of the few restaurants that I can feel better about supporting.“

“The food is delicious I’ll be back for more love their panang curry 😋“

“The best ramen you will ever eat anywhere. Great service. Great prices. Worth the wait.“

“So good and server are very friendly“

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️“

“Breakfast burrito was better than expected. It was very good actually, fluffy, not burnt, eggs, crispy, not oily hash browns, country potato's, and plenty of flavorful meat.
I have a hard time taking a pic of my food before I eat it. I really don't know how people do it 😜“
