50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Orange

“Had another party here. Great food, great service, our server was amazing.... she remembered what everyone was having, was on top of all of it, including everyone's food... And kept all of their tabs accurate!! And there were at least 30 to 40 in our group alone. Food was awesome, as always... I believe her name was Jazleen!! She Rocks!!!“

“First time and we really ENJOYED! We arrived late afternoon and the interior was very dark, but we soon adjusted. Our beverages arrived cold and delicious. Hubby ordered shrimp and the platter arrived looking like a piece of artwork (very fancy). Shrimp were cooked perfectly and all the veggies were succulent and flavorful. I ordered carnitas, which arrived sizzling hot and delectably crispy. Guacamole and pico were super fresh. We will be back soon. Thanks!“

“I’ve been coming to Ohshima for years, and even with the change in ownership, the quality has stayed impressively consistent. The jukusei sushi is really well done, the shari well-seasoned and balanced. Their yellowtail carpaccio is a standout, and the kizami wasabi adds a nice kick (it feels housemade) —definitely worth trying. Still one of the most reliable sushi spots in OC“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best Tacos. Hole in the wall but great value too. Two Tacos for $2.50 each gets you really delicious Tacos. My favorite are the carnitas but they have many meats to choose from. Comes with chips, salsa and pickled carrots with jalapeños. There is sometimes a line but it moves Fast.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I've tried many Thai spots in the city of orange, but out of all them, this has been my favorite.
What i love is that they pride themselves on making really flavorful whilst keeping the flavors nicely balanced. Definitely pay attention when asked about the spice levels they do a really good job about it. I love spicy food and got several dishes medium plus, I enjoyed them very much. However, going back next time, I will probably order a lower level of spicy. Love their papaya salad with medium spice. Their egg rolls are killer. All in all, I can keep going on about this place. It's definitely worth at least trying it once. Staff is super friendly 👌.“

“Really enjoy this location, the servers are wonderful. The food and drink is always wonderful. I will keep coming here until I can't do it anymore. 😉 Try the fajitas & the Chili Verda, and Cadillac to drink along with all of this excellent food. 👍“

“I eat here at least once a month. I usually get a large poke bowl with half salad and brown rice, 3 salmons, and 2 tuna in sesami shoyu with everything except wasabi. Highly recommend for people craving a poke bowl! The owner is very kind and generous in servings.“

“The food is absolutely so fresh and delicious!“

“Great service, food and employees“

“They are very kind to the public.“

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

“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.“

“It’s Awesome and great place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Most wondrous sushi! My wife and I popped in last weekend. First time visiting. We were warmly greeted and seated right away. Our server was so polite and friendly. The chefs waved from behind the sushi bar. Our beer and sake were tasty and the sushi dishes were delicious and just the right size. Love the atmosphere; we went for lunch and it was quiet, but I imagine it can be hustle bustle in the evening. Definitely recommended, check it out. 🍣“

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

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“The best French Toast around!“

“This is the best place to get a prime rib always fresh and this restaurant is open every day �“

“Me gusta el comer afuera y está muy acogedor“

“Exelente servicio exelente comida ... volvera de nuevo ...“

“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. .“

“Ryan the Super Server. Completely on top of the allergies at our table. It was a beautiful day for a Magic Milkshake!“
