50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Garden Grove

“I never thought vegan food would be so yummy! I got the potato salad and the "favorite dish" of the super nice young man who owns the business. I would definitely recommend it!!!“

“It is a family owned restaurant serving yummy Vietnamese dishes that are vegan. We love this place. We tried almost everything and each is delicious. The service is a friendly mom and pop restaurant service. They are really accommodating what you need.“

“Today went to get breakfast with my friend Damon at Denny’s on Harbor Boulevard. Maricela was our waitress, and she was amazing. Thank you Maricela for making our breakfast great. Perfect service, and we had nice conversation with her. We are coming back to see Maricela very soon. Thanks for a wonderful experience.“

“The Vegan Pho was amazing! It saved my life ! ��“

“I give them four stars in the food category, because the food was so good, that I wanted more options. In particular, the buffalo wings are cooked damn near to perfection. It sucks that my only true option is lemon pepper. I think if they would give us buffalo wings and the people got to taste them, they could grab some of that market locally.“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“Food was the bomb! You definitely need to try this place. I will definitely be back“

“I’m from Northern California and when I visit SOCAL I go to Shane’s several time while I’m here and always take frozen tamales back home with me. Can’t recommend Shane’ highly enough!“

“LOVED the pizza - crust and toppings were perfection. It was recommended by the staff - spicy Thai. Also got pepperoni and cheese for our vegan kids. There were zero slices remaining for leftovers so we had to take an entire pie to go to have more for later. Also the coconut cake and strawberry cake both were great (not too sweet which is appreciated). Hope we are back again soon. Updated from previous review on 2026-10-18“

“This is going to be my new go to Pho place. We had oxtai, rare steak, and brisket. I always say when the brisket is tender, it always is a good pho. They have a small and a large size for $1 extra. The dish size difference is huge. Service was nice and super fast. 5 stars!“

“Yes and yes! Great menu! Will be back!“

“Omelette House is our go to after the gym on the weekends. The staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. It's a small place family owned which you don't really see much anymore and the food is always on point 👌🏽 Up vote this so they rename the 'Ultimate Breakfast' to 'The Ramblin' Sam'.😅 I highly recommend O.H. to anyone that loves a great Omelet and or breakfast!!!
Keep it mind, they close at 2pm, so get there early!“

“good food great price pancakes are big and fluffy. would go back if I lived down there“

“Every dish that came out was incredibly flavorful. You could smell them long before you saw them. I love lemongrass so I ordered the spicy lemongrass chicken. It is hands down the best lemongrass vegan dish I've ever had. My friend really enjoyed her dish.
Their service is very hands off. We were allowed to sit there for 3 hours catching up and nobody rushed us. During our time there a wide variety of people cycled through. Their stellar reputation is spreading. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.“

“This is My Favorite！！Great Food!“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“My friend and I got their spicy marinated crab and it was soooo good. The perfect texture and flavor. It wasn’t too spicy and it paired so well with rice and seaweed. We also got the beef soup with dumplings and rice cake which was also amazing as well! The workers here are so kind too“

“Great food and friendly staff“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“Perfect food to have to have“

“Sugarcane drink good and fresh“

“They have good food and drinks, I miss the free Thai tea promotion, I don't usually order drinks because we spend over
100 dollars for our family of 4 to eat there . It's a small place so we always get it to go. My favorite is the Crab fried rice, ask for no onions, they sometimes put too many which ruins the flavor for me !“

“los camarones ala diabla con crema , deliciosos, con una pacifico bien fria,,,“

“Had lots of fun, at the Chinese New Years festival“

“Carefully prepared Vege Beef Steak with Rice and Vietnamese Style Crispy Crepe. Light on oil, and full of bright and savory flavors. Pennywort leaf drinks are pressed to order. Service by the owner offered a personally welcoming experience and was most hospitable offering a taste of their fresh steamed layer cake.“

“The sushi here is super fresh, all the rolls are delicious, I’m super picky with my sushi but after trying many places Hana Maru has become my go to spot! Definitely recommend! The atmosphere for dining in is also very relaxing, beautifully decorated, a must try spot!“

“We dined at Amarith Table last night for the first time and can't wait to tell all of our friends about what a Great Restaurant it is. There is literally something on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious ontop of being all organic. The service was top-notch: friendly & efficient. Every staff member came to our table to introduce themselves and to see how things were. When we left we felt like we were part of The Amarith Family. We cant wait to Come Back...Woohoo!“

“The best! The owner was friendly and very polite. Food was amazing and tasted fresh, my Pa loved his huarache de chorizo 😃definitely recommend!“

“Grilled meats are the main attraction here, and the beef kabob is a standout because it uses filet mignon that stays tender and flavorful. The chicken kabob and lamb kabob are also good choices, while the kuftah has a little more seasoning from the beef-and-lamb mixture with onion, garlic, parsley, and spices.

The plates come with hummus, Arabic salad, and pita, and I’d definitely add the garlic sauce because it gets a lot of praise. They also have beef and chicken shawarma, lamb chops, falafel, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, and family meals if you’re ordering for a group.

It’s a small, family-run place with a casual feel, and the food tends to be more impressive than the setting.“

“Very delicious!! Been coming here for many years. Now under new management from what I understand. The staff is amazing and make you feel like you’re home. Will always come back. Thank you so much 🙏🙌🍣🍱😋“

“Place is awesome, great dairy free options too for vegan eaters. Shop’s theming is hilarious and took me right back to high school. Staff is friendly and they have a stamp card program! Give them your money!“

“The menu here has a nice mix of classic Thai comfort food and a few dishes with stronger, more traditional flavors. The pad kee mao is a good choice if you like spicy noodles with basil, while the panang curry is richer and creamier. The tom yum soup also brings that familiar balance of sour, spicy, and aromatic flavors.

They also serve pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, papaya salad, crying tiger beef, larb, and several seafood dishes, so it’s easy to order a few plates and share. The setting is casual, and the food feels straightforward and satisfying rather than overly polished.“

“The food is so tasty and the place is not that crowded to dine-in.“

“Kind of a hidden hole in the wall spot a bit off of the main Garden Grove Koreatown strip.

Good set of 반찬 (side dishes) and the portions were large. I ordered the 갈비탕 (rib soup) and it had large pieces of meat that fell off the bone.“

“Food is good, service is prompt. A shame is parking lot is a bit too small.“

“Perfect place to watch the NFL! Geaux Saints!“

“If you’ve ever driven by this cozy Korean spot with traditional hanok-style windows and a constant line out the door, you’ll know why I’ve been curious about Hangari Kalguksu for a while. I finally caught a quiet weekday afternoon and went in right away.

The menu comes in Korean and English, but the English side is mostly phonetic, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t help much. I just pointed at the Korean menu and ordered their signature kalguksu ($17.99). They also offer sujebi, rice cake dumpling soup, cold noodles like buckwheat or soybean, plus classics like tteokbokki and fried snacks.

Banchan was simple yeolmu kimchi, light and refreshing. Then came the main event, a massive bowl of kalguksu, easily double the portion you’d expect, with a small side of barley rice (boribap). The broth was surprisingly clean and slightly sweet, loaded with shrimp, clams, potatoes, zucchini, and seaweed.

Pro tip: serve some noodles into your small bowl, then mix in their chili paste and sesame oil. It instantly levels up the flavor. Super comforting and honestly hard to stop eating so I ended up finishing the whole thing without realizing it.

Portions are huge, so sharing isn’t a bad idea. If you can’t finish, just ask for a to-go box.

They accept cash and Visa/Mastercard only.

Also worth noting, there’s another Hangari Kalguksu in LA (ktown) with a similar name and a more expanded menu. Not sure if they’re related, but something to keep in mind if you’re exploring different locations.“

“This is the best Mexican food I've ever had! Arturo is a friendly, welcoming, and amazing chef. I had chilaquiles with chicken and a taco de lengua. Every ingredient was delicious and the portions were generous. The chicken was juicy and tender. The sauce was delicious. And the taco de lengua were the best I've ever had. This is my new favorite restaurant.“

“I really love it here. Even when busy the people are so helpful and patient. The drinks I’ve gotten so far have all been delicious and delicately crafted! My favorite is the dirty matcha! It’s a whole experience. The vibes inside are so freaking cute and dainty. Very Vietnamese feeling with the low chairs and tables, gives it some culture and makes it feel homey. Highly recommend to give it a try.“

“Great experience here this past weekend!

The interior is pretty small, so it's mostly a food-to-go spot (which is what we did). Service was so friendly and sweet, even gave us some good recommendations.

We ordered spicy tuna kimbap, bulgogi kimbap, pork cutlet, and fried dumpling for a group of 4 to eat. It was a pretty big portion size! The kimbap tins came with probably 15+ rolls. For $12 - $16 per tin, this was such a good deal.

If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back to enjoy more kimbap combinations at the good prices!“

“I love the food here and so good“

“Onigiri is the specialty here, and it’s a nice change from the usual sushi or poke stop. The Korean BBQ beef rice ball is savory and filling, while the salmon and tuna mayo versions are lighter choices. I’d probably order the trio so you can try several flavors at once.

They also serve poke bowls, rice bowls, spicy garlic edamame, truffle corn, miso soup, and drinks like lavender-thyme lemonade. The setting inside SteelCraft makes it especially convenient for a casual lunch when everyone wants something different.

The food is creative and enjoyable, although some recent reviews mention that the rice balls can occasionally fall apart or arrive with softer nori.“

“Big shoutout and thanks to Diana. She gave our food really fast, seats and tables were clean. Food quality was also really really high. I have enjoyed their burgers every time I came here. Today I have tried the rice bowls, super good and lots of options to choose from .“

“I was looking for decent teriyaki restaurant for lunch and found this place near seal beach. The food taste good! Service was good! and the restaurant was very clean! I really recommend this restaurant. It was my second time visiting today and I will be back for sure!“

“My family and I come with my friend and his family to Brodard Chateau for outdoor dining in May 2024. Foods are real Asian foods and tastes. Lovely foods, tastes and services.“

“Good, authentic Vietnamese food with plenty of menu options for families and groups of friends. The dishes were tasty and there was something for everyone. One thing to note: the restaurant prefers cash payments and adds a 3% fee for credit card transactions.“

“Review 801/365 Day Challenge

It’s been a minute I’ve dine here.
Came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch w my mom & baby girl 9.13.26

It was a full house since it was during rush hour. Definitely worth the wait,
Sign your name on the guest list and patiently wait.
We were seated within half an hour.

What we ordered

~ Krispy Rice aka Kow Tod is highly recommended. It’s deep fried rice ball that is broken down and toss w some herbs and fermented pork. Has a really distinctive flavor. Zesty lime and it’s not powerful w the herbs. You enjoy it wrapped w lettuce & cilantro or as a fried rice dish.
~ Crying Tiger my daughter loves. The brisket meat is marinated so yummy & flavorful and tender. Comes w the house special fish sauce w lime and chili dipping sauce. Enjoy it w sticky rice or alone as an appetizer. Another highly recommended dish and must get here.
~ Pho Lao, it’s made Lao style. The broth is subtle like Vietnamese Pho but just a different taste. Same beef broth. Give it a try and see the difference. It’s delicious just like how my mom use to make it. Help get my Laos pho fix.

They offer different varieties of Laos dipping paste like Jaeow Bong, tomato paste & chili to purchase.

Sometimes they have Pandan Cherie thai Pandan Che aka Karong Song coconut milk w palm sugar dessert sold in their fridge.

Associate is really nice & friendly. Service is fast and the food here is amazing serving authentic Laos & Thai food. One of the best restaurants in Garden Grove. You won’t be disappointed getting your cravings on.

Restaurant has a simple yes nice vibe, very clean and decent size w only indoor seatings.

Parking can be a bit hard to find since it’s in a very busy plaza along the restaurant alone gets a lot of foot traction. It’s a huge parking lot. Be patient and you’ll eventually find one. Don’t lose HOPE.

CLOSED ON WEDNESDAY please note FYI“

“I haven't been here in years because we didn't live close by anymore. Order dinner for my family here tonight and I was so sad to see how empty it was. Small family-owned businesses like this are hard to come by and are sadly fading away. I was able to order a huge dinner for my family well under $100 they even threw in extra crab rangoons as a thank you for our large order. I hope my review can help boost a small family business and keep them in business a little longer ❤“

“Family oriented restaurant that serves amazing tasting foods...everyone are super friendly and Ashley n Rudy make you feel like you're in their home! I recommend eating there n I give them 10 ⭐️s“

“😍my favorite thai place in Orange county“
