50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Irvine

“Haidilao Hot Pot was a very great place for dinner. The service was very quick, employees were patient and respectful. Our server Jacob asked to reopen their kitchen just to make us some dessert even though it was after hours. He also gave us a complimentary food option in case they weren't able to make the dessert for us. The service is unbelievably nice. I would come again for dinner.“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“I love the Modern Greek Salad here. I was worried that only certain locations could match the flavor of the Jamboree one but this location hit it out of the park. Super good flavor and more than anything, Page was super professional and prompt with our order. Will definitely be dining here again!“

“Solid burger restaurant that is on the higher price range and quality. You order at the counter and they give you a ringer to pickup your order. The food is good and ingredients are fresh. Everything is clean and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Best comfort food ever! The thing I miss about living in California the most is the spaghetti grilled cheese at Burnt Crumbs. It will change your life. I would order three at a time and eat half a sandwich each day for lunch. If you guys wanna franchise in Detroit let me know lol 💯 💯 🔥 🔥“

“01SEP2024 | Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot is a chic hotpot restaurant. My first impression was that it was clean, with delicious food and attentive service. The prices are just right for the quality of the food and ingredients. I would give it a 10 out of 10, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Great service and reasonable prices“

“Really enjoyed the malatang here. The broth has great flavor with a good balance of spice and numbness, and the ingredients taste fresh and clean. Portions are generous and pricing feels fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try different combinations. Overall a solid spot for malatang.“

“Great healthy food! Service was great.“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“It's worth your while to come and experience it.“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“

“Amazing place! The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Portions are great for the price, and everything feels very reasonably priced, especially for the quality you get. Another big plus is the parking: plenty of space and no hassle at all. Overall, great food, fair prices, and convenient parking. Definitely coming back and highly recommend it!“

“I went in today and Izzy helped me out with my bowl, she was very patient and understanding as it was my first time back in a while. Overall the staff was super friendly, the store was very clean and the portions are great! Will be coming back again soon!“

“You guys were absolutely awesome today and I appreciate the safety protocol up in the restaurant due to Covid and the mask policy! I will definitely come back again! Fabulous food and service! ❤“

“I celebrated my birthday here, and I'm so glad I did. P.F. Chang's makes it easy to make a reservation, even with a large party. You can split the bill multiple ways, and staff was accommodating when my guests arrived at different times. There is a variety of delicious food everyone can enjoy. I received a special, sparkling birthday treat at the end. Would come here again!“

“The is was our second trip to NEP and was as good as the first! Both the shrimp salad app and the squid and mango salad were so well balanced and tasty. The garlic noodles and shaking beef were sooo good. Nothing was too spicy but really flavorful. The shaking beef was so good we ordered another one! The cocktail that night was a raspberry sour and too was perfectly prepared. For a casual restaurant, these guys really put out the effort. Oh, and the sticky rice/mango desert was the topper. Not too sweet and the mango was perfect! Will be back sooner than later. Well done NEP.“

“TASTYYYY! I got the Munchwrap, a Butter Paneer burrito, and a side of the massala fries with my boyfriend. Everything was so tasty. The portions are big for the price, I wanted to eat it all, but I got too full haha. The staff is very nice too! They are opening up a new place in Fullerton soon and I'll have to check it out.“

“Tasty food, fun atmosphere at 1pm midweek. Gloria, our host, friendly knowledgeable and attentive. Praise the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who makes all experiences the best. BR great…w Jesus best“

“Fast and friendly service. I like the current loyalty points system- so much easier than hunting for an app, login info, rewards, erc. All you need is your phone number. I got the protein bowl with chicken and it was excellent. Nice and bright inside too. They do school fundraisers which brought me out to lunch today, and the experience was well worth it.“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“Every dish I ordered was goooood. My favorites were the Dumplings and the noodles. The noodles had an amazing texture and flavor of the broth was light. Beef wrap was good but a little dry. After asking for dipping sauce it was perfect. Fried pork chop was yummy! I’ll be coming back to try their other items for sure.“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“I had an amazing experience at Olive Garden in Irvine! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and served hot. Every dish we tried was spot on.
The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. You can really tell the team takes pride in what they do.
A special shoutout to General Manager Miguel Jimenez for running such a fantastic restaurant. It’s clear that great leadership makes all the difference. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Great vibes, great service, especially Daniel! the food for brunch, lunch and Dinner is what keeps us thinking of our next visit !this place is about to go off!“

“Great food and incredible service. We recently moved to the area from another part of OC and were delighted to discover a place with such delicious and authentic food close to us. The service has also been great eat time we’ve come. Once we even arrived as they were closing up and they offered to keep the kitchen open and serve us.“

“Jarred was wonderful. Did not rush us. Was fully aware of the history of the restaurant and positive about the future. Mario assisted and was very attentive. We love that the tomato & onion salad is back. And Jarred had the bartender fix the perfect Blueberry Mojito! The Butterfish was nicely prepared but a bit salty. But that could just be me. And a squeeze of lemon juice did the trick! We look forward to coming back soon.“

“One of our favorite Mediterranean spots, their bowls and wraps are so delicious. I love how customizable the bowls are and the variety of toppings. My move is a bowl with half rice / salad and half fries as the base, half chicken and gyro for the protein, and all the toppings. The fries are McDonald’s-level good imo. I also highly recommend trying all the sauces at the sauce station - my faves are the dill tzatziki and the cilantro jalapeño. Yum! Service was also great at this location, Namrata was patient and friendly answering all our questions :)“

“Better than Halal Guys. Yeah I said it. Go taste for yourselves.“
