50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Garden Grove

“Food is always amazing here. My family only comes here for Korean BBQ. There are hundreds of other options nearby but you just can't beat the quality of the meat and the service. There's a reason why a line is formed before they open... especially on weekends.“

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.

Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.“

“This place really took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a decent experience for the pricing. I tried and was not disappointed. This place is actually pretty fire ? if you’re an omakase eater. Most of the cooked dishes were surprisingly bomb ?. So I give this a place a recommendation for being in GG.“

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

“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.“

“Sookdal is famous for low temperature salt water aging pork belly.

Taste of pork belly is the best in OC.

You can eat pork belly with salt,
chopped garlic, wasabi,
grilled cheese and many different
pickled vegetables
(Cucumber, Cabbage, Radish tops etc.)
for unique taste.

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Hang A Ri Kalgooksu is a hidden gem that brings the true flavors of Korean comfort food to life. Tucked away in a quiet corner, this unassuming spot is all about the quality of its food, particularly the kalguksu, a traditional handmade noodle soup.

From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by the warm, homey atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re about to enjoy a meal at a close friend’s house. The star of the menu is, of course, the kalguksu. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, clearly simmered for hours to achieve that perfect balance of savory and umami. The noodles are the highlight—thick, chewy, and with just the right amount of bite, they’re clearly made with care and attention.

One of the standout dishes was the kimchi kalguksu, which had just the right amount of spice and tang from the kimchi, adding a delightful kick to the soothing broth. The mandu (Korean dumplings) were another must-try, with their thin, delicate skins and generously filled interiors, perfectly steamed to seal in all the juices.

The service was friendly and efficient, with staff who are clearly passionate about the food they serve. They made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to offer recommendations when asked.

Hang A Ri Kalgooksu is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. It’s comforting, authentic, and unpretentious—a perfect spot for a satisfying meal that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. If you’re in the mood for something hearty and homemade, this is the place to go“

“Wow! It has Michelin stars for a reason! Great food is all about sauces and seasoning that elevates food. That’s Garlic & Chives. Fried salmon belly (so crispy), salmon roll with tamarind sauce (great compliment), crispy fried tofu (not a dull moment), razor clams, and Hanoi vermicelli (not only very different but the patties and broth were explosive). I always try many dishes and none disappointed here. The must likely “fail” suspect was fried tofu and I’d order it again. The atmosphere is nothing special, but it’s fine and the “crab boil” setup is actually nice for friends and family vibe. This could be an expensive high end restaurant with the food they are serving and yet it’s very affordable.“

“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.“

“This amazing Syrian owned takeout is a must must try! Vegan Stops serves totally delicious Middle eastern food that is totally vegan to take home and reheat. These are fully prepared meals/entrees at a fair price. There is NO DINING IN at this restaurant but don’t let it stop you. The owners and everyone who worked here couldn’t have been more sweet and kind to us.. They even let us taste a few things before we ordered since it was our first time and we didn’t know what a few of the dishes were. We ended up with 5 different good sized dishes for about $75.00 these were nice sized portions that 2 of us hungry adult guys ate for two nights in a row and were stuffed both meals so it was a great value ! What was also so amazing though was the taste. Everything was so fresh and wonderful I can’t say what I liked the best.. but I will say there was nothing I didn’t Love! The hummus, baba ganosh tasted like my mom’s old boyfriend from Syria used to make and the pasta with lentils was out of this world. It’s about a 40 minute drive for me but I can’t wait to go back soon to vegan stops!“

“I'm not a full time vegetarian but I appreciate a good vegetarian restaurant which this one is. The reviews appear to be accurate. The restaurant is usually busy with customers which is good. The flavoring of the food and cooking technique are quite good. The chef tends to over-sauce the food so it can be a bit salty. The veggies are sometimes over cooked as typical with vegetarian food. Might be a good idea to tell your server to have the chef go easy on the sauce and don't over cook the veggies. Overall, a pretty good vegetarian restaurant and definitely recommended.“

“Best Pho I’ve ever had. Great prices, the owner brought us watermelon juice for the table, and 80’s music videos were playing on the tvs. Obvious locals enjoying a late night bite. Cool spot that proves you don’t need to go somewhere fancy to get great food.“

“$9.99 I got the chicken kabab, it’s delicious! The best chicken kabab I had so far. Very juicy and flavor. And also got a side of rice for $3.

There was person operating but took 15 mins, it was pretty fast. Friendly man with a beard helping me. I’d come back great lunch spot.“

“Pretty good brisket,and rare beef slides“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“I got the build your own 16” with chicken bacon and pineapple. It was ready in 30 minutes as promised, and the person that was in the store that I picked it up from was so very nice. The price for amount of pizza you get is great and the quality was awesome. It fed 4 people for about $20.“

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

“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.“

“The girls that work here are absolutely the best. It’s odd to get good let alone great service that’s friendly sweet and genuine. Sadly less often from females to female customers. The food here is the best and the late hours are so appreciated. There’s nowhere else you can get really good, still healthy, clean food at practically all hours of the night. I literally drove 30miles tonight just to get something because Iv been craving Naz’s so much and don’t want gross fast food. Worth the 30min drive though“

“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.“

“Fish was relatively fresh and big portions, of good quality. Some of the pieces were blowtorched, which is a nice touch. The quality of the rice in the sushi is also good (and very important but no one ever talks about it). Friendly service and spacious venue. I was gonna say it was a bit pricey, but to be fair everything is pricey nowadays so it's probably avg priced. Just budget accordingly.“

“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!“

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

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

“Great food and friendly staff“

“Great place for Mongolian food. They have the flat grill and you pick and choose what you want on it from meats to vegetables sauces as well and they cook it right there you can see them cook it. Better than great khans Mongolian at the malls“

“It was perfect timing for this Pho Hot Pot restaurant for our post spa/massage dinner! On this day, it did get much cooler in the evening, so hot pot was perfect! Our eyes definitely got hungry when we ordered this "Combo for 4" for just us 2, but it was the perfect opportunity to try different things! Thanks to our awesome server who was able to guide us through the menu, as noobs to the restaurant! Everything we tried was so delish and we had plenty to take home to share with our families! W“

“The food was beyond amazing. The service was great. Sebastian has great customer service skills with a very kind personality. We really felt special when the head chef came out to check on us. I would totally recommend this place to anyone. The tomato soup was the best!!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter who usually only eats chicken strips and fries, could not stop raving about the grilled cheese and tomato soup“

“Made a stop late at night and just wanted to eat something, the fiod was so good that now I have to stop by here everytime! There were four of us and everyone's food was good (I was able to taste each one of the ordered food!) Everyone was impressed on how good their food was! Highly recommended!“

“I normally order to go and haven't dined inside. Maybe in the future I'll try dining in and I'm sure I'll have a positive experience resulting in a 5 star rating on "Atmosphere". Food is great! I normally order the Mediterranean Pizza ?? ? ? Regarding the service I've never had to wait any longer than the assigned pick up time. The pizza is always ready everytime I arrive. If I recall I've only had to wait 5 minutes at most one time which isn't bad in my opinion.“

“We tried the galbitang and bibimmyun—both simple dishes, but they were so flavorful and comforting, like something made with a grandmother’s touch. The banchan were amazing too. The service really stood out; they kept checking on us, even during their lunch break. If we lived nearby, this place would definitely be a regular spot for us!

Just a heads-up—it’s a bit warm inside, and the sunlight hits certain spots, but honestly, it adds to the cozy vibe, like eating at your grandma’s house in Korea.

“Hello everyone.
Welcome to jacks bakery. This is an Arminian and Mediterranean style food with bakers. Today I am trying the spicy cheese boreg, and what a delight it was. This place serves appetizers, sandwiches plates, baked goods, and assortment of hot drinks and yes, vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable and there is seating inside. Parking outside is limited. They accept cash and card. Thank you for reading my post. Please follow me on Google Street maps and check out the places I visit.“

“Tastes like childhood- and by that, I mean 1st gen Vietnamese American growing up in Westminster with memories of visiting Grandma in Vietnam and eating Vietnamese pastries from our front porch.

A little stuffy in the tiny bakery bc it's mostly kitchen in there and very little service area. It's one of my favorite places to get vietnamese dessert trays from for parties. Highly recommend and I'm sure they'll speak English to you but this is one of those last few spots holding out and speaking primarily vietnamese inside. Like I said, like childhood (sans fighting for your life to get in front of the line amirite BMCC OGs).

I like the lightness of all their jellies, but my favorite is their bánh bò nướng (honeycomb) and khoai mì nướng (casava root).“

“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“

“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.

Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.“

“I took my dad here for Father's Day, and it was a great choice! We enjoyed the fish and chips and the double OG smash burger, both of which were delicious. Sara provided excellent service; she was personable, remembered our names and drink orders, and made sure we had everything we needed for our meal. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend you do the same!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Love this place! The food is always great and the quantity for the price is more than fair, in my opinion. My wife and I eat here once or twice a month, sometimes more. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend and if you live nearby, definitely give them a shot.“

“This late entry but it’s been a while since I had great pizza, I called over the phone and place my order. I was hesitant with what I wanted. Bryan was so patience with me and even took his time and offered other items. I ended up getting a pizza with boneless wings and donuts! Definitely will be returning“

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

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Best Hoi An food in Orange County! We had the Cao lầu, bánh đập, and nem lụi thịt nướng. All three were fantastic! The owner was very friendly, and even brought us free chè for dessert! The menu is also quite large, with some great choices available that you can't find at other Vietnamese restaurants. I also appreciate the traditional Hoi An lanterns for decor. Plenty of parking available outside. 16 tables, each of which seats four, with the option to push together for larger groups.“
