50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Garden Grove

“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.“

“I’ve heard about Pho 79 being one of the best pho in OC. After finding Phoholic broth too sweet, I decided to try Pho 79, and it did not disappoint!
We arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday and waited around 20mins for our table.
We ordered a large pho, grilled pork with broken rice, and fried spring rolls.
I found the pho broth to be well balance just slightly too greasy for me but not a big issue at all! We weren’t offered noodle option so I’m assuming there is only one noodle option?
The fried spring rolls were decent but I think I’ve had better? This dish didn’t really stand out too much, and I will not order again next time I visit.
The grill pork with broken rice was pretty standard, tasted good but I think I’ll try something else or stick with pho for my next visit.
Paying for our meal was a bit confusing? I wasn’t sure if they would bring check over to table, but seems like others would go up to counter and pay so I just did that. It is cash only which is a bit inconvenience but I came prepared!
Will definitely come back for more pho if I’m in the area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's the same as the best Chinese restaurant in town when I was a child. This is the only place where you can enjoy the same atmosphere and taste as you remember. I really, really love this restaurant.

Rajogi, scorched rice, black bean noodles, jjamppong, and noodles are all so delicious.“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Personal Review – Han Nam Udon & Sushi (Garden Grove, CA)

Han Nam Udon & Sushi is my go-to local Korean-Japanese comfort spot. It’s not a flashy place—no trendy decor or Instagram gimmicks—but what it does offer is something harder to find: food that tastes like it was made for regulars, not tourists.

Their udon is the star: rich, clean broth that’s soothing and satisfying, especially on a cool day. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the toppings are always fresh. I’ve probably ordered the shrimp tempura udon a dozen times and it’s been consistent every visit.

Sushi here is simple, not overcomplicated. It’s not the place for high-end toro or uni, but their rolls are well-balanced and generous for the price. The Han Nam roll is a personal favorite—just enough spice, just enough crunch.

The staff? Quiet but kind. Service is efficient without being rushed. It feels like a family place, the kind of spot you come back to after a long day just to eat something that makes you feel okay again.

Bottom line:
If you want fancy plating or fusion frills, this isn’t it. But if you appreciate simple, honest food with real flavor, Han Nam might become your favorite too.“

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

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

“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.“

“Overall service was satisfactory and atmosphere was just Korean restaurant as you expect. Ordered Hang A Ri Kalgooksu but honestly speaking, LA branch had better flavor. When I arrived 11:04AM in the Friday, 70% of seat is already occupied, so when you are planning to visit, you may have some wait times.“

“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.“

“BEST TAMALES!!! I have tried many tamales throughout the years and hands down, these are the most delicious tamales I have ever tasted! Not only do they have the best tamales, but anything you try here will exceed your expectations! To top it all off, their customer service is the best, they are all very professional, respectful and caring. They even gave us a free dessert that was also very delicious. I will definitely be back here!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly staff“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“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 🙏🙌🍣🍱😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is hidden in a little strip mall in what appears to be Vegan haven. It was a fun find for my allergy family members.

I ordered the margarita pizza for my kids. They liked the pizza fine, but it was my fault that they were disappointed. I didn’t realize they don’t like margarita pizza. Other than the wrong toppings, my kids liked it. They said the dough was perfect and would totally go back for a pizza topped with their favorites.“

“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!“

“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.

I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.

For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.

For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.

The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“If you're a pho lover, this place is a must visit. The broth is deep and savory, and the beef practically melts in your mouth. I also tried the beef hot pot, and it was packed with flavor and very satisfying. Clean space and fast, friendly service make it even better.“

“Best Armenian middle eastern baker in orange county, always delicious, fresh, and made to order.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options

Kid-friendliness: VERY

Wheelchair accessibility: Very good“

“I got the short rib soup and it came out pretty fast. The soup was good but I wasn't a big fan of the banchans. The people working there were nice and I would come back to try other menus. Don't expect too much for the banchans though. The place isn't too big but enough space available.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is my new favorite spot! Dropped by after Disneyland they have 2 pool tables and pool was even free til 5 so we got 2 games in free. Drinks were reasonably priced and food was just unreal. Can't wait to come back again next time we're in town.“

“My daughter only loved the salty egg cupcakes and jelly coffee there. Delicious desserts 👍🏻 reasonable prices and honestly loved the serviced🥰. Those young people there always called my name every time I picked up, even on some days when I wore a mask 😷😂 And i got a gift dessert on Father’s Day either 😂😍“

“This place is great. We were greeted by them and they asked us to wait while they set the table. We happened to catch them at a good time because as soon as we finished ordering the food, the restaurant filled up quickly. The food didn't disappoint. Sometimes what looks good on Instagram doesnt translate in real life. The boys wanted Katsu so they ordered 2 but we honestly only need 1. Pro tip, if you ordered the Katsu and the garlic su yuk, eat the katsu first. Once you have a bite of the 10 hours sous vide pork belly, everything else just tasted tough. Trust me... i was loving the tender pork katsu until I bit into the sous vide pork. After that there was no going back. By the way, the bathroom is clean which is a plus

Kid-friendliness: yes“

“I live in the area and love going to HanaMaru sushi with my partner. We enjoy the food and the pleasant staff who always kindly greet us when we enter and leave!

They have a wide variety of rolls so there should be something for everyone. I've enjoyed all the different ones I've tried so far. For appetizers, chicken karaage and edamame are my go-to's. They do have other items on the menu that aren't sushi so if you do come with non-sushi lovers, there will still be something for them.

For parking, just be warned it might be a little difficult depending on the time of day you go as it's in a small lot that multiple businesses share. However, we've been lucky so far in usually finding a spot either at the right time or not having to wait too long before someone else leaves.“

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

“Dakgalbi, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet are delicious!I think I will use it often!Add rice and mix the chicken ribs at the end.If you eat it with seaweed powder and cheese,It's really delicious!Pork cutlet meat is soft and seasoned.It's so perfect... I really recommend it.It's better than Beach Yoko...The thickness of the meat is just right.Anyway, give it a try!“

“Great atmosphere and service was great Katrina and Jen were great“

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

“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“

“Since I returned from a trip to central Vietnam 4 years ago I’ve been chasing down a bowl of authentic cao lau. Living in San Francisco and Portland I can hardly get my hands on cao lau, so little Saigon has been a destination for me. This was my first and only required stop when I finally visited the area and it did not disappoint! The Cao Lao noodles were perfectly square and chewy, the broth herby and flavorful. The pea greens were also delicious. The lovely man who works and runs this with his wife was so friendly. I’ll be back!“
