50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Mission Viejo

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰“

“The food was excellent and included all of our favorites—there was hardly anything left by the end of the meal! The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient with our young children, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s always great to support a local small business that truly cares about its customers. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“Tasty Food, But Service Can Be Disorganized
The food tastes good, and the portions are generous when the order is complete.

The place is small and can get very crowded during busy hours, with limited seating available. Staffing also seems limited - only one person handling everything: taking orders, processing payments, serving food, and cleaning tables. Because of that, you may find yourself wiping down a table yourself just to find a place to sit.

On my last visit, I ordered 4 meals and a drink. Three meals seemed complete, but one taco meal was missing the rice and beans, and the drink was missing as well. I noticed the missing drink while still there and asked for it, but only realized the missing sides after leaving. It wasn’t worth driving back for.

Overall, the food is tasty, prices are reasonable, but the place can be crowded and the service feels a bit disorganized.

Almost gave 3 stars based on the overall experience, but the food was genuinely good, so it earned the 4th star.“

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“Loved their chocolate desert!“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“Fast ... very friendly... great foods and great prices... A+++++....“

“Our first visit to Bushfire Kitchen was a great experience. My burger was delicious, and the Thai Bowl was really good as well. We also ordered the sweet potato fries, which were probably the best I’ve ever had — perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is hard to pull off since sweet potatoes can get mushy so easily. We’ll definitely be adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation.“

“Sattva is our go-to Indian restaurant!! We’ve been to both locations and have found it to be consistent, delicious, and the service is always top notch! Highly recommend the butter chicken & tikka masala (basic, I know, but SO GOOD). We also have a vegan friend who always appreciates the number of options for her. The mango lassi is also delish!“

“We tried the Chicken Marsala, Lobster Ravioli and Gnocchi in VodkaSauce along with the Piccolino dinner salad and Tiramisu. All was magnifico! 😘“

“pasta , lasagna very friendly polite and helpful waiter“

“#SuperBowlSundayBrunch 🌷🤙😜🥳😎“

“Always great wine and food here!“

“My wife and I ordered the Salmon Lemon and Crunchy Spicy Tuna rolls, and both were amazing! We also tried the garlic edamame and the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna appetizer. Everything was delicious and perfectly balanced. I’m a picky person and not easily impressed. The prices were right, food was perfect, and our server was so sweet and funny. We will be back!“

“Amazing food, especially the blackened shrimp and the Chile Verde quesatacos! we first tried a few days ago, and I've been craving it ever since!“

“Fair and Fun never boring. Great restaurant and bar“

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday“

“Best poke! So much variety, tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, albacore, octopus, shrimp. tamago, and tofu. Delicious add-ons and lots of toppings!“

“10/10 burger! I got the tombstone, with onion rings and a chocolate shake and wowwww it was amazing! Everything about the burger was perfection from the bacon flavor, thickness and juicyness to the chocolate shakes chocolate pizzazle without being too chochlately. I wish they had one closer to San Clemente because wowwieee id go here for a burger instead of In n Out! Hahaaaa! So cool.“

“The Chile Relleno Burrito!!! Oh and Horchata!!!“

“Went to O’Neill’s with a large group of 11, and we were lucky to have Lazz as our server! Not only was he incredibly attentive, but he also made the entire experience so much fun. His knowledge of the menu was excellent. We asked for recommendations, and every suggestion he made was spot on. The food was fantastic! He kept our drinks filled the entire evening and made sure everyone at the table was taken care of. Every single person in our group left happy. We can’t wait to come back!“

“(October 2025 visit): Helen, the hostess and owner, is such a sweetheart! She welcomes you with a smiling face and explains anything on the Chinese-American menu, which is quickly served and abundant. Her plates are beautifully displayed with included side dishes, and full to the top (you'll probably need a take home box).
My only recommendation is she provide Chinese music to set the mood instead of her nice quiet classical music. BTW, the restaurant is in a quiet section of the shopping mall with no loud vehicles racing by. You can have a nice quiet conversation while enjoying your food. The restaurant provides booths or tables for your pleasure, which is a nice change from normal cafeteria-style Asian restaurants.“

“delicious, just as I remembered“

“We sat at the sushi bar and Joe-san was our sushi chef. He was fast, efficient and everything was tasty. We chose the Oh My God roll towards the end and honestly folks? It is OMG spectacular! And so was the Queen Imperial with yellowtail and mango. Great service!!!“

“Great vibes and crew. Food has great variety (large or small portions) and service is quick and efficient. I bring friends and family days and nights when we want frssh Italian meals away from home.“

“My go-to taqueria in south OC. A plethora of homemade salsas, personal bags of chips go with every meal. They often have eacabeche carrots and limes that you just have to ask for, but no extra charge. All of the employees are warm and inviting and very helpful. I LOVE PERLAS!!!!!!! Ps get the chicken mole soft tacos on taco Tuesday, you will not regret it!!!!“

“I use to eat here when I was younger, but they closed down the one where I lived. I didn’t know there was another location, and luckily stumbled upon it while charging my EV car. Bomb.com. Lunch specials are the business - you’re welcome“

“The Pad See Ew here is EXACTLY what I want and expect when I order one. The noodles have a nice chew, there was a little char on everything including the vegetables, it was perfect. Usually when you get pad see ew, a good indicator that it’s going to be flavorful is the color of the noodles. Pale tan? No flavor. A nice rich brown like the ones in the picture here? Delicious. My bf and I also got a Pad Thai (not pictured), a Panang Curry, and finished with Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Everything was so good, I think this is my new favorite Thai food place.“

“I cannot speak to authentic or not since I am not a Mexican food expert but I had the best enchiladas at this restaurant. Definitely can taste that chips and salsa are homemade. It was a business lunch so I didn't have any cocktails but other guests looked like they were happy with their very fruity and fun drinks. We sat on the patio. I will be back to try other items on the menu and to have a few of their delicious looking drinks!“

“I have been coming here since they first opened and every time it is consistently made fresh and well as well they have fair pricing on lunch specials. Their broccoli beef is actually packed with beef not just broccoli unlike other Chinese restaurants.“

“all of it was delish! great service as well.“

“Yummy best by far in town“

“Hands down the best corn beef hash and eggs I have had in a long time…. maybe ever, and I’ve had corn beef hash and eggs for my breakfast very often over the past 50 years!
And I got to enjoy it overlooking the beautiful view of the front nine, with Saddleback and Modjeska Peaks in the background.
Attentive, friendly service staff top off the perfect Sunday morning at Oso Creek!“

“Where do I start with this place! Great food, great service, and amazing welcoming staff. Their lobster burrito was different to my palate but very delighting. Creamy delicious creative food. I’ve been to many places to eat and have never sent a review, but Taco Mesa hit it on the head for more. Fun Mexican food that makes you feel good about what you’re eating due to the healthy fresh food! Will definitely be back very soon.“

“Great food and drink options, activities for the kids, great retail, loved Miel boutique! Great for group or family gatherings/events“

“A wonderful find. My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Sabatinos Italian Bistro this evening. Our server Frederico was professional and quite personable. We started our dinner with two glasses of wine and the bruchetta. The Talbot Chardonnay and the Dry Creek Cabernet were both excellent choices. My wife ordered the eggplant gnocchi, which she loved, and I had the sausage and pepper rigatoni. Both dishes were excellent. The service, food, and ambiance were quite authentic and enjoyable. We spoke with Frederico, who is the ultimate professional, and decided to order a side of meatballs to go as well. This was our first time at Sabatinos, and this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Ask for Frederico as he is the ultimate professional. Highly Recommended.“

“Thanks Chuck! You were a gracious host. Blessings...“

“I ❤️ Bagels ruined all other bagels for me. I started coming here when my boys were kids — a dozen fed us for days on a tight budget. Now my son takes his daughter and the tradition continues. Same smiling owner, same perfectly chewy, slightly crunchy-on-the-bottom bagels. Still unmatched. Coffee + one of these? Forget about it.“

“The food and service was great, my only issue with this specific location was that they do not honor the military discount that is given in any other Dennys location I have ever been. I guess the owner does not support the troops. Sad.“

“Excellent food, accommodations for dietary restrictions, kind employees and good for families.We've been coming here for about 9 years. It's just as good as the first time we had food there.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, Nut free options“

“The food was good, but by the time we got home it was room temp. We only live like 5 minutes from the store and we went right home. I guess I could have warmed it up in the microwave, but I was feeling lazy that day. The fish was very dry in the taco. Might not get the fish again. The cheese enchilada was good, but probably would have been better if I heated up a little in the microwave. I probably won't order online next time. The employees were nice.“

“Great comfort food, excellent service from Julio as always. He's friendly, polite, and welcoming. We like to eat here when Julio's around and the other gentleman at the cashier.“

“Best Sushi ever, have been there 4 times in two weeks of vacation with friends and family. Great & friendly staff, too!“

“Some friends and I met here on. Saturday morning to discuss a book we are all reading together. We got to sit in the only large circular booth because we arrived a few minutes before opening at 7:30 and so were the first ones in the door. There are several other standard booths and plenty of other seating as well even a bit later when traffic picked up. Our server Carolina was very attentive and friendly, and that large circular booth was the perfect place for a good discussion. Everyone seemed happy with their food. I got the Ranchero Skillet, which was quite spicy but Carolina had warned me. The coffee was great, and they did a good job of coming around frequently to refill coffee and water.“

“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!“

“The burgers are great with a nice variety of sauces. Excellent service from Anakin and the crew. The shakes are great too. I definitely recommend this spot with grass fed and finished beef and they really are bringing back the great American burger. I’ll definitely be back and there are great deals if you download the app. Also open till 9 which is good too.“

“Delicious food tender kabobs organized and punctual good price, make sure to cater here if you have party“

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

“Mission Viejo Stacks - Terrible Service with an Attitude. Brought us someone else's order twice. Finally correct order showed up. Eggs were delivered first cold. Went to Check on Pancakes 5 Staff Standing Around Talking. Was told Pancakes were coming. After 10 minutes they finally arrived. Other Customers were having Service Problems Too.“
