50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Orange

“We've been going to Gabbi's for more than 20 years and it never disappoints! The food is fantastic and innovative. I had a squash blossom, zucchini and mushrooms quesadilla with goat cheese. The ambience is great and the service is always good. You do need reservations but it is well worth it.“

“This was our first time eating here after knowing about it for so long and I kind of wish he came here sooner. The menu has an interesting skew to it ("fancy"), but I decided to try out one of their pizzas (white onion) and I really liked it.

I did get the wrong soup (which I didn't notice at first because I forgot what I ordered), but it was still good and I didn't bother getting a replacement with the correct one. So there's no real question with the quality of the food, at least.

The outdoor seating is nice, though can be marred by the nearby intersection where people tend to blast music or honk at everyone else. So it might be better to sit on the side instead of the front, though I couldn't say for sure. Interior seating looked to be very limited, and potentially uncomfortable, so they rely heavily on the outside dining.“

“cleanest sushi we have ever eaten I will totally recomend this place 💯💯“

“Best Beef koobideh in OC“

“Just visit it friendly donuts. I ordered the crème brûlée donuts. It was fantastic and the chai tea I recommended to anyone who loves good donuts.“

“The place is in a great location sit here have your coffee course go bye you can see the mountains. The service is amazing for food. Amazing you recommended by me and many of my friends and family. They even have organic food, which is awesome and gluten-free.“

“HI, I have to be honest. I was trying to find a way to contact Flappy Jacks as I have a proposition I think would be perfect for Flappy Jacks I have what is probably a bit of an unusual idea. Or maybe just a good idea. I know it is an unusual way to contact you but there was no email address. So I hope this works. I am from Columbia Missouri and I am visiting my Son, Grand Kids, and family there, just a few blocks to the East of Tustin. I am a musician, part time, and I like to street busk (play music on the streets) for grins. I noticed your nostalgic decor and your Elvis statues and the mural featuring the St Louis Arch, which is in Missouri on the Mississippi, of course, where I am from, and the 1930s, 40s and 50s nostalgia, and I wondered if you ever considered, or entertained the notion of having a little nostalgic live music, every now and then, perhaps even if only just once as an experiment. I just happen to play that old classic blues from that era, mostly, at least in this capacity, as Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band. And I thought we might make a pretty good match up. As I said, at least, as an experiment. You can check me out at Facebook "Keith Fletcher, musician." Though most of that music is from my original music shows, and not my one man blues sets. I noticed you had a nice patio area where I could play outside and it might be a nice treat for your customers to have a bit of entertainment, just for a change of pace. They might really appreciate it since they obviously like your atmosphere. I don't play loud music. Unless folks want that, but I prefer to play soft. Or at least in situations like this. I've been the house band for BBQ joints and restaurants on several occasions. So I am familiar with the proper decorum. Mostly I was just looking for a little music adventure in CA within a walking distance of my Son's house, where I could carry a very tiny amp about the size of a cracker box, and my guitar to a gig. I thought maybe about just doing a street gig but saw your venue and something seemed to click. I hope you think so too. I estimate you are about a mile walking distance from his house and I only need an electrical plug. And probably some cool beverages. Like I said, I'm mostly in it for a small musical adventure, and so will play for tips, though, maybe you can pay me with free cold beverages, especially if it is hot, and maybe a sandwich or meal depending on how long I am there. It all looks delicious to me. If you find you'd like to host me again, and want me back, that might be possible over the week, and I may be back for the Christmas holiday. I might even be able to talk my Son into bringing the kids and family. Could be a total bust, or could be a very nice thing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Who knows? If it worked out well enough for both of us, you might even want to do it again sometime, Maybe even offer some kind of fee next time, if there is a next time. Life is an adventure. You / we, might stumble onto something good. If you would like to give it a whirl, what day and time would you think is good to catch a crowd? I am not sure what plans the family has, so maybe list a few slots. Look forward to hearing from you. I'll be flying your way tomorrow and leaving California on the 22nd. Thanks, Keith Fletcher AKA Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band“

“Absolutely love the food but it is the people that make this an exceptional fabulous dining experience!“

“very tasty ramen n rolls, they came out fast, friendly waiters, totally recommend 10/10“

“The server - Jojo - appeared to be less present than the bussers. She seemed irritated when we asked her to remove empy plates from the table. She was engaging with my kiddos, though. We weren't given our sharing plates with our sushi, so that made it a little awkward to start eating. Timing for when food came out was great. Always love the fried rice with anything on the menu“

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Friendly staff, quick to go service, and delicious food! The spare ribs were my favorite with the meat falling easily off the bone. In my opinion, 1/2 rack is enough for 3 people. I didn't realize this and ordered 1.5 racks 😅 I loved the onion rings. However, not sure I'd pay $10 for them. If you love ribs, I definitely recommend this place!😋“

“My husband and I are obsessed with this place! It's so delicious and fresh. Plus, the prices are great and the portions are so generous. We've tried almost everything on the menu and my favorite is the volcano chicken!! The volcano sauce is so good and you can also order a side of it“

“We came before the rush lunch time so there’s no wait but soon after it got very packed.
Orders came very quickly and each order was enough for 4 people to share. But it didn’t come with rice. We had to order it. Shrimps from two orders were very big and fresh. Northern Thai Khad soi chicken curry was very tasty.
Staff was very friendly but maybe it was during lunch hours was a bit of noisy. Not easy to talk.“

“Enjoyed my dining in I Luv Sushi too!“

“The service here is great, the portions are generous and the food is Fantastic. Best pumpkin pancakes anyplace. My only wish is that they had fresh squeezed orange juice.“

“Thai Town in downtown Orange is a solid spot for Thai food with a chill, laid-back vibe that makes the experience worth the visit. I went with some friends and we shared an order of the Pad Thai noodles with chicken, house fried rice with tofu, and yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. The food overall was decent and satisfying. The Pad Thai had a nice, slightly sweet flavor and was cooked just right—classic comfort food with tender pieces of chicken mixed in. The fried rice with tofu was simple but tasty, with a good texture and well-balanced seasoning that didn’t overpower. The yellow curry was creamy and mild, featuring long pieces of chicken and potatoes that soaked up the rich coconut flavor nicely. The chicken was tender the potatoes were very firm.

Inside, the restaurant has a clean and casual feel—nothing fancy, but comfortable and easy to relax in. The real bonus, though, is the atmosphere outside. Downtown Orange has a super chill vibe, and it adds a lot to the experience. Whether you're eating inside and stepping out afterward or grabbing takeout to enjoy nearby, the location makes a difference.

Overall, Thai Town is a good go-to if you’re looking for a laid-back place with dependable Thai dishes. It’s not flashy, but it hits the spot and is definitely a place worth returning.“

“Love Darya Restaurant! Best food, staff and owners. My go to place for healthy and tasty Persian food 💯👌🏻“

“Fantasic staff! They are always so friendly and helpful! They always remember us when we come in. The shabu is fantastic. The broth selections are wonderful and you can mix and match! Produce is fresh, lots of beers on tap. Only critisism is I wish they would change their chairs, they aren’t comfortable; the food is so good though it’s worth being uncomfortable!“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“My wife and I have traveled to a lot of places, eaten at a lot of restaurants, and this one truly stands out. They could easily charge double for their food, and I wouldn’t bat an eye. Incredibly fair prices on delicious food with friendly and fast service - I wish we could take this place home with us.“

“Excellent food here! Glad it is still here after all these years.“

“Great service, food and employees“

“I Love This Place Their Food And Drinks Are Delicious Their Service Is Great.“

“Wonderful family-owned business. Friendly staff and great food & beer selection“

“100% best Bowl I have ever had! I go there often, at least probably four times a month love it so much!“

“Really liked it! Busy but the staff was still friendly“

“Super Dumpling serves halal food. We ordered Orange Chicken, Fried rice and noodles. Orange Chicken and Noodles had a great taste. Fried rice had no taste. Quite expensive and quantity is very small compared to all other halal Chinese restaurants.“

“A man from a far country came to this restaurant, tired and hungry, and bought some Indian food. Much to his embarrassment the credit card denied the transaction. No problem, said the seller, take it and pay another time. God Bless you noble @Sandeep Kumar and your staff ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיך“

“I ordered takeout from this sushi restaurant and was really impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—even for to-go. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making the whole ordering process easy and pleasant. My food arrived quickly and still felt fresh, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others.“

“Great Italian Sandwhich. Huge. Bread is great.“

“I've only been to this establishment for lunch, with that being said, Wasabi has never disappointed my co-workers and I. They have a decent lunch menu, quick service, and cool ambiance.

Parking: Limited parking lot behind the restaurant. Free parking structure near by.“

“My favorite bar in Orange County. The food is great and everyone here is amazing. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I love the burgers and cold shiner bock on tap. Great wings great fries great steaks great cocktails. The list goes on. So many tv's you can watch all the games from anywhere in the place. Eat some delicious food. Snack on some chips and salsa while drinking some cold beers and watching sports. I'm a big fan. Highly recommend it.“

“Nice, chill, low-key vibe here, but better yet -- food quality is up there with the best Thai in Orange County. And they manage to do it all with reasonable, competitive prices.
Been here exactly twice and I can confidently state that this is my new favorite OC Thai restaurant.
(And it doesn't hurt that they offer a free Thai iced tea while you wait for your order).
Recommended: any of their featured specialties, including the curries, crying tiger, crab fried rice, papaya salad.“

“I should have put this review up earlier, and it’s just a schedule thing. My husband and I have various things that we do in Orange County at least once a month . The food is always very good and the service by Danielle , is bar none. She is a real gem .“

“The sushi was amazingly ? fresh. The place was clean and the presentation was on point. I loved the quaint atmosphere. We had an appetizer of blue soft shell crab. The breading was a bit thick and the crab was rather moist. The flavors were good but I'm not sure I would order that if I went back. Only because the balance of bread to fish ratio was so so. I think this combination could have been pronounced better with a sauce. We also ordered some egg rolls but again, their sushi was so good, had I to do over again I would have saved all my stomach space for another roll instead of the appetizer. The sushi was 5 stars +, the egg rolls 3.5*, and the soft shell crab 3.5. The mango tango roll had so many flavors going on I did not even want to use the soy sauce as it may overpowered all of the other delicate flavors happening within the roll. Same with the crazy monkey, loved the cashews and sauces and did not want to overpower the delicate flavors with soy sauce. The service was attentive to all of our needs. We also had Yuki Sake and that was delicious with a slightly sweet taste but not overwhelming. I would go back there in a heartbeat for their sushi and service.Rolls: Mango Tango, Crazy Monkey

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the sidewalk.“

“Excellent experience on a Saturday late morning, around 11:30 am.

We initially were going to the filling station cafe, but as usual is it insanely busy and food is just ok.

If you walk down across the street and a few more steps, you’ll find this relaxing, welcoming, and quieter restaurant.

No wait, plenty of seats, very welcoming staff. Great for a nice breakfast and lunch date or with friends.

Food was good, flavorful and delicious, and the sweet potatoes dip was awesome. Good value, good flavor!

Professional waiter and staff!“

“At some point, a stale smell filled the restaurant. I realized it was the smell of unwashed rags. The stench lingered throughout my meal, ruining my breakfast. I couldn’t stand it and moved to another seat, but the unpleasant odor persisted. The food was average, and the prices were cheap.“

“Very good food 10 out of 10 🤤 bomb“

“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

“I'm here dogsitting for a friend and saw the great reviews so I gave it a try. It's as great as everyone raves about! I tried the curry chicken and honey walnut chicken and both are delicious. I got the lunch portions thinking they'd be small and they're huge! I'm excited to have the leftovers for dinner! I'll definitely be back to try some other dishes!“

“Atmosphere:
While I know that the kitchen noise level can't be avoided, that would be my only negative issue, but that's my issue with most restaurants and that includes music, and TV noise. This restaurant doesn't have any TV's thank goodness.

Service: What I did enjoy was watching the amazing teamwork. It appeared to me that there weren't any ego's involved and quality service was their only goal.

Food: My food was cooked to perfection, AND, I didn't have ask for salt and pepper because it's part of the table setup. With that said, why can restaurants trust the customers with place settings, and other condiments, but salt pepper are protected, (maybe behind a locked location requiring someone to unlock it before being allowed to set at the table).

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!“

“Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had. You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.“

“First time there it was delicious got the double lobster tails with mac & cheese. And asparagus“

“Been bringing my family for 8 years hear they never fail , it’s always clean delicious , spring rolls are super fresh , Thai tea is the best they are not stingy with their food all my love it from the smallest to the oldest ! Highly recommend this place“

“We recently celebrated by husband's 40th in the semi private room at this location and it was a fantastic experience. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout planning stages with regular email exchanges and phone calls to ensure we were aligned in the food expectations and overall experience. The night of the event he was there onsite to ensure we had everything we needed and Savannah oversaw the service. She was impeccable and our 30+ guests were treated with great care and attention. The space was lovely and the overall experience was truly exceptional. Thank you for making this event so special for us!“

“We came here for a dinner. On a Saturday night as we love Thai food. This place was so quiet and peaceful. Basically being vegetarians we were looking for some options. We found plenty. Drunken noodles and pineapple curry were so tasty and had just enough flavours, mild and delicious. We tried their home made coconut icecream, was one of the best I had. Prices were extremely affordable and the lady who served was kind to us. Would highly recommend this place. Would wish more people could visit this place and keep their business flourishing.“

“OML BEST AÇAÍ BOWL IVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE 10/10 freshest thing i’ve even eaten would not trade it for my right thumb or my new born child get it i beg of you🙏🙏🙏🙏🧘🧘🧘🧘🦖🦖🦖🐢🐢🐢🥳🥳😘😘❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞“
