50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Garden Grove

“I'm a Korean, and I’ve traveled all over Vietnam many times, and I can confidently say this place has better dishes than anywhere in Vietnam...!!! Make sure to add oxtail — it’s absolutely heavenly. I’ll definitely be coming here often!“

“One of my favorite places to get naengmyun. Mo Ran Gak is a name that is widely known to have reputable cold noodles.
When you get a meat dish with naengmyun, they give you a small side dish of the spicy one as well. Or vice versa if you got the spicy, you'll get the broth one as a side.
There is a small parking lot here and usually a line even right when they open.
I would advise on coming early or putting aside enough time to wait 1 hour before being seated on a busy day.“

“Highly recommend as someone who’s gone to many pho restaurants this one exceeded my expectations. I got the Thai tea, egg rolls and filet mignon pho everything was delicious and the customer service was outstanding. Everything tasted very fresh. Highly recommend.“

“All these great reviews are spot on, and you shouldn’t think otherwise. This is the 2nd time coming here with my family and it doesn’t disappoint. So now let me add another 5-star review, to the already many well earned 5-star reviews.
Both times coming here we opted for their 12 piece omakase course with assorted appetizers. Rather than keep repeating the other great reviews on how good the fish tasted, and how fresh the fish was, I’d like to bring attention to how good the rice being used was. Sushi lovers typically focus on the fish, but at the end of the day, fresh fish, is fresh fish… In my opinion, I agree with the notion that it’s the rice that truly makes or breaks the nigiri. And however way the Chef makes his rice is really exceptional, in addition to using the right amount with each piece. Include this with very cold beer, and now you have a winning combination.
In addition to the food, I appreciated the comfortable atmosphere Taira has. Sometimes when we would try other omakase places, the atmosphere was a little too pretentious, just to justify the higher price point.
Thank you Ben and Ayako for another great family sushi night, and next time we will definitely opt for the bar, lol.“

“Đồ ăn Việt Nam chân thực, mang hương vị quê hương“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“I was trying to find an old restaurant I used to visit for great Jjajangmyeon, and although this wasn’t the exact place I remembered, I was very satisfied.
They served a small egg soup as a welcome dish — warm, light, and comforting on an empty stomach.
During lunch time, I tried the stir-fried vegetables, which were fresh and perfectly seasoned without being too salty.
I also liked that they offered small-size bowls of Jjajangmyeon — just right for a light meal.
Everything tasted great, and I definitely recommend visiting this place!“

“Delicious food served with love. For lunch, I I had the cold soba noodles with crispy shrimp tempura. A bowl of hot udon broth was served as a free appetizer. As good as the soba and tempura were, this hot bowl of soup was my favorite part of today’s lunch.“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“The kalguksu here is absolutely delicious, with rich and comforting broth and chewy handmade noodles. The barley rice served on the side is nutty and wholesome, making the perfect pairing. Generous portions and heartwarming flavors — I’ll definitely be back!“

“Very delicious good food and great service Recommend for family Come there to enjoy food and have good time with family and friends“

“This is an incredible bakery, I would argue the best in the area. I come out of my way for their croissants and macarons, and everything they make looks fresh and beautiful.

I don’t typically write reviews because I don’t experience intense loyalty to many businesses, but I have been coming to this place for years and it has always fulfilled my expectations.

Utterly delightful, kind, quick, fresh, tasty, a beautiful selection. A hidden gem— tell your friends.“

“I love this place amazing foods and amazing chef🥰💖👏❤️😋“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“We eat halal so finding a Vietnamese place that serves that is nonexistent. Vegan would be the second next option and Hoa Sen really surprised us in the imitation meat department! Their meats are super well textured and tastes almost like meat. They have more traditional dishes as well in comparison to other vegan Vietnamese restaurants around here! Service is fast and everything is delicious.“

“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.“

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

“MUST TRY PLACE!!The most delicious vegetarian foods in the town. Mì vịt tiềm, ốc len xào dừa, bún riêu, bánh bao….everything is so yum yum. The taste is so much better than everywhere I have ever tried. This is gonna be my place now.“

“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.“

“The pizza overall is decent, I've had better, but the crust is pretty great. They have creative pizzas like an Indian curry style pizza and a spicy Thai style pizza. The Indian curry pizza was decent, but I would have preferred more sauce and toppings. This time I got the Meat Lovers pizza and largely felt the same about it. The only off putting things about the place is that there's a TV playing a loop of a weird program "The Supreme Master", which gave me strong cult vibes. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-21“

“Every Tamale is great! We tried all the different ones. All Great. The Jalapeno is my favorite! Great service Highly Recommended.“

“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!“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“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.“

“Me and my friend really wanted some Mongolian BBQ but there were no places within 30 minutes of our house so we decided to go to Red Peak given its good reviews. Let me say, it did NOT disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was even better. We noticed the other customers seemed to be regulars and it felt like a true family atmosphere.

We got the all you can eat plates and they actually encouraged us to eat more! They even stayed a few minutes past closing to serve us and make sure we were happy. We will absolutely be coming back and eating many more meals here!“

“Probably the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. Friendly and generous staff.“

“This place was amazing. Great service from the staff, beginning to end, made sure we were well taken care of. Then there is the food, and it did not disappoint. Very healthy portions and the flavor profiles were next level. Safe to say everything that hit the table was delicious. My friend and I spend a lot of time going to different food places and doing reviews, and this is one of those places we will be referring our own family and friends to. So if you have not checked it out, I highly suggest that you do. It's worth the while and the prices are more than fair. You definitely get the bang for your buck here.“

“The best Falafel I have ever had. Perfectly cooked. They offered me a sample before I even ordered. One of the best values for family meals around.“

“Amazing experience from when we walked through the door to when we walked out had such an amazing experience!! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING SUSHI WAS ON POINT AND THE PRICES are great!!!!! But what would make me come back(cause I’m from Temecula) was the service and the amazing food“

“I always get the combo over rice with white sauce. The meat is always consistent and I enjoy the food very much. The restaurant is clean and the employees are great. Good service overall at the Garden Grove location.

Parking: Park anywhere it is available.“

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.“

“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 🙏🙌🍣🍱😋“

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

“Hidden gem. Lucky enough to live super close. The food is great, both the pizza fare and the vietnamese food drinks and treats. The price is fair as well. I try to stop by every friday after work to start the weekend. Super friendly service and a great spot all around!“

“Yummy and tasty authentic Mexican food, along with wonderful Elvis memorabilia“

“1. The crab fried rice and drunken noodles were delicious and well-made!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes with a small interior!
3. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in 15 mins!
Note: I did not easily see a restroom available for customers!

“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“

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

“I have eaten here on multiple occasions and it is by far the best restaurant of its kind anywhere nearby. Everything Ive tried has been top quality and delicious. Even the smell is amazing upon walking in. The owner is a wonderful person and takes true pride in everything he puts out. Highly recommend.“

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

“Te lo recomiendo todo muy rico 😋“

“Great food and friendly staff“

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!“

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

“Wanted to go somewhere that offered raw marinated crab and I have to tell you that this plans has it and does not disappoint. It tasted so fresh, a little sweet and spicy but oh my lanta it’s to die for. If you’re wanting to try it I definitely would come here if you’re in the area. I also got bulgogi as another dish and the food offered here are nicely portioned. Pretty big, flavorful and soooo good. Service was quick, great and sweet. It is a small little place but I would recommend calling if you were to bring a party of probably 6 or more. Inside it’s like a cute little dine in and not a huge restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and warming.“

“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.“

“I went to a new chè place last night and was disappointed. New doesn’t always mean better. So this morning we had to go check out the OG of all bakery and chè place that my aunt keeps talking about.

Boy oh boy, their avocado drink is literally the best in town. You get the rich and creamy fresh avocado not the powder mix. Had so many avocado chunks and jelly. They made it fresh. Not so sweet.

We also got a few of the cupcake size desserts like the steamed layer cake, baked taro cake, salted egg sponge cake, and pate chaud.

It’s so convenient in cupcake size to snack. $1.50 each or 4 for $6 which isn’t a deal when it comes out the same. You can increase the size on most of these items. You can order party trays of up to 80 pieces or more.

Even the pate chaud is tiny but delicious. It was evenly proportional in meat and pastry.

I will for sure be back to try their banana bread and other baked goods!“

“I’ve found myself coming to this spot many times whenever I’m in OC. It’s one of the few places where you can find a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes beyond just pho, which, honestly, a lot of places still don’t get right.

I’ve tried more than six different dishes here, and every single one has been flavorful, delicious, and truly authentic. It tastes just like home.

Some of my favorites are the Bún Mắm, Bánh Hỏi Heo Quay, Bún Riêu, and Hủ Tiếu Mì Khô—all so good and packed with flavor. I don't recommend Bột Chiên tho!

The service is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Vietnamese food that goes beyond the usual. A hidden gem worth checking out!“
