50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Orange

“A huge shoutout to Jazleen at Danny K's! She provided absolutely fantastic service during our recent casual meal. Not only was she incredibly friendly and amazingly efficient, but she was also exceptionally helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and answered all our questions with a smile. It's clear she genuinely cares about her customers!“

“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“

“It’s Awesome and great place!“

“This place is legit on every level. The restaurant and bar have the kindest most helpful and amazing staff...the kitchen is always consistent with providing the most delicious authentic flavors . I honestly can't say enough good things about Pancho's. It is one of the best restaurants in our city.“

“We ordered the Salmon Pesto dinner along with the Chicken Parmigiana and both dishes were excellent. The presentation felt elegant and everything tasted wonderful. Considering the quality the price was very reasonable and we left completely pleased with the experience.“

“Best Mexican food. Friendliest service. Words can't describe the happy feeling I get eating here.

You must try everything!! Stand outs for me were the Carnitas, Cabeza, bucce, and the BEANS!! Make sure you get the beans and rice!! Their chips and salsa are the best appetizer, and snack on the way home! And their Menudo is a must!! Get there early on a weekend to avoid disappointment.“

“Beautiful dining experience. The service and food were excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Dining at Hobbit was like being invited to a fancy friend’s home for a gourmet meal, warm, inviting, and upscale, with a touch of home. We will be back.“

“I like this place a lot! Huge menu with many healthy, vegetarian, and vegan options, but with meat options too. Prices are still reasonable, service was excellent. My chicken wrap was awesome. The day we went they had a special, $1 chips with pumpkin hummus, which was great! We got 4 chips specials for 5 people 😆“

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“

“This place was poppin when we came. Cute Halloween decorations. Food was great! Recommend their savory roti with curry and their sweet roti. Pad thai was tasty. Branzino was really good. The sauce was too salty for me but it had good flavor. Thai iced tea was excellent. Will be back!“

“Gabbi’s Mexican Kitchen is one of those rare places that feels both timeless and alive—an Old Towne Orange staple that blends deep culinary tradition with modern artistry. Housed in a warm, hacienda‑style space, the restaurant immediately sets the tone for an elevated yet comforting dining experience.“

“Great food and the staff ….. awesome!“

“Had such a great time at Mika Sushi last week! The sushi was not only super fresh but also beautifully presented — you can really tell they care about quality. What stood out even more was how kind and welcoming the staff were. They made the whole experience feel really comfortable and enjoyable. It’s definitely one of those places you want to come back to. Highly recommend!“

“They are very kind to the public.“

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

“Me gusta el comer afuera y está muy acogedor“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“One of my fav spots to pop in when im in socal. I love the Ensenada style fish tacos. The rice and beans are delicious…. And the salsa bar is amazing. They let you take as much as you like. I also recommend a steak and shrimp burrito minus the cabbage. Absolute perfection.“

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

“★★★★★ Lucky’s Thai Pantry — Absolutely Delicious!

Lucky’s Thai Pantry is hands-down one of the best Thai spots around! Every dish is packed with authentic flavor, fresh ingredients, and that perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their food and their customers.

The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and everything tastes homemade with love. Whether it’s the pad Thai, curries, or appetizers — you honestly can’t go wrong.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Thai food and genuine hospitality. It’s a true hidden gem!“

“The hamburger 🍔 after 4pm buy one take one free. yummy ! I love their breakfast“

“Good food and aloha. Meal was served hot with Hawaiian seasoning. Macaroni salad is served island style and friendly staff . Highly recommend dessert too!“

“Adore the pho broth from this restaurant! Nice balance of herbal and meaty taste, with slightly fatty mouth feel, and hot enough to cook my bean sprouts. 👍 They also let me order the kid-sized pho with whichever meat I wanted (combo style), which I really appreciated on my diet. Egg rolls were fried fresh and hot.

Plus I genuinely enjoyed eating inside the restaurant. Cozy and clean, with gentle music playing. I'm coming back!“

“Friendly service and tasty Italian food. The Gnocchi was amazing, also the panna cotta was delicious. I recommend this place.“

“First time visit! We will be back! Fabulous dig-friendly patio! Adorable and vintage indoor seating. Vast menu! Quality food! Great service!“

“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.“

“What a great place! Stopped for lunch with my daughter. I had the Super Burger and she had the Patty Melt. Both were fantastic. Our server was so nice and attentive. We felt like we went back in time. The vintage vibe was warm and inviting. Would love to come back some evening for a cocktail at the beautiful bar.“

“The service is always great. Running between appointments, I call my order in from the car. when I get there, my table is waiting with my salad and basket of bread. My fettucine alfredo followed in 5 min. and was delicious! Had delicious meal instead of some cheap fast food and was able to make it to next appointment in plenty if time. Been coming here for 2 decades. Always good.“

“One of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurants I have found in orange county!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

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

“One of the secret gem in Orange. Delivering the finest Spanish and Italian cuisine. The cocktails and food are out of this world. Friendly service, and always on top of their game. .“

“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.“

“Wonderful food! Me and my partner stopped in and loved the food. We are not vegan but still had a delightful experience. Staff was highly attentive and kind. Would def go again if we lived in the area! Menu on website is not accurate , I would suggest going in to look at the menu. Also heads up that they are cash only.“

“Love this place. Prefer to sit at the bar“

“Tastes great! Excellent service and very clean restaurant.“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“The Food:
J Sushi knows how to do it right. We stopped in for lunch when we got to California and it was so good we came back the next day. We tried a few rolls, nigiri, udon, and some of their fried options. Everything came out fast, fresh, and full of flavor. Clean, balanced, and delicious from start to finish.

The Vibe:
Casual, comfortable, and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or an easy dinner. Simple décor, friendly faces, and great food which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood sushi place.

The Value:
Fair portions and reasonable prices make this a no-brainer. You can taste the quality without the upscale price tag.

Final Word:
Fresh, fast, flavorful, and worth coming back for (again).

“This pie shop was a “stomping ground -hang out” while growing up. Always a great home cooked meal. Save room for a piece of their pie!“

“From the moment we walked in it had just a very inviting atmosphere and they made us so welcome. we ordered the chicken alfredo pizza which was out of this world. Very tasty, great sauce lot of chicken, very cheesy and flavorful, awesome crust. We can't wait to go back and try something else. I definitely recommend it“

“Stopped in for a Turkey cranberry panini and salad. So good! They were very kind, accommodating to our needs, and helpful.
The gelato was okay… not quite the creamy texture that I hoped (more of an icy texture), but it wasn’t terrible.“
