50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Ana

“Tasty subs! We got the immaculate and the club. These are just like traditional subs, but the delicious “Dutch crunch”-style bread is thinner so the focus is on the fillings. If you miss/love subs, give this place a try. Plenty of parking, bathrooms for customers. Indoor and outdoor seating in a nice outbuilding of a large strip mall. Friendly service. If I had a complaint it would be the odd TV content. Will definitely return when I’m in the area.“

“The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really good. I didn't like the wings as much, in the future I'll just get the nuggets. But the mango habanero sauce was amazing and actually spicy I like the milkshakes here too. The only downside is that everything is kind of expensive for what it is. But the quality seems pretty good and its a big plus that they're open late. So I would eat here again! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-05“

“Una de las mejores comidas 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service“

“Some of the best food you will ever have. Great family owned businesses and also great catering. This is our to go place for authentic Egyptian food.“

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

“A long overdue review! The BEST cake in OC! After living in Taipei I miss having dessert that isn't overly sweet and that has a variety of interesting flavors. I'm so glad I found Bakery 101! Their black Forest cake was divine, but my new favorite is the taro cake!! So light, and it tastes so fresh and real! Not synthetic like the flavors next door at Crumble!!! Bakery 101 even has lilikoi flavor and tres leches!

What I also love is that for gifts, instead of one giant birthday cake I can order an assortment of small cakes of many flavors to give to my friends.

The owner is so kind and you can tell she puts her heart into what she makes 🤍🍰“

“It was truly a great experience. The portions are very generous, and the staff are respectful and understanding.“

“Authentic and Flavor-Packed Biang Biang Noodles!

Six Alley is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Chinese comfort food, especially their signature Biang Biang noodles. The noodles are hand-pulled to perfection—thick, chewy, and with just the right bite. Each dish is bursting with flavor, whether you go for the classic chili oil version or something more hearty like the cumin lamb or tomato & egg toppings.

The spice level is bold but balanced, and the ingredients taste super fresh. Portions are generous too, making it great value for money. I also loved the casual vibe of the place—clean, cozy, and with quick service.

If you’re looking to try real-deal Xi’an-style noodles, this place should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Good breakfast. And good service“

“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“

“Here is our ti go place first breakfast on weekends for over 3 years.
The food is good the atmosphere is great and service is good as well.
Is bug and you can choose which vibe you like to eat your food.
The dinner also is great.“

“Loaded Café was a solid choice for breakfast. I got the breakfast burrito really tasty and definitely filling. The food overall was flavorful and came out hot. The atmosphere wasn’t bad at all casual and comfortable. Service could’ve been a little quicker, but nothing major. I’d come back to try more from the menu“

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“When we went to eat on Friday night there was an amazing server named skyler(Skylar) and she was the best server we have ever received. My fiance was eating soup and when he was finished she noticed that he didn't eat part of the soup and specifically asked if he would like it without. The attention to detail and customer service was above and beyond to where we will be going back just for the customer service that was provided. I hope she sees this review because she was amazing. :) Thank you.“

“I ordered from here and honestly the California rolls where delicious. The presentation was beautiful. They delivered in a timely manner. Very happy with their service. I will definitely be ordering from here again. I forgot to take a picture of the trays. But presentation was amazing.“

“Good breakfast. And good service“

“The food tasted very good and exciting,the first time we came here and I think me and my son made a good choice,also the view of the flames while we were waiting for our food was beautiful. I highly recommend this place if you like buffets.“

“First time here, great service and yummy food. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone had a warm smile to welcome us in. We will definitely be back“

“Definitely the chicken. I like the choices of sides too. I have to try the rest. I hope we get one in our area, Cypress or Cerritos.“

“I have colleagues who rave about this place. It did live up to the expectations. I came with other colleagues who really enjoyed their food. I had the opportunity to order the Sunrise on 17th. It was full of good sushi rolled around crab. No rice in this dish. It was presented really well and the taste was very fresh. I would order this again and recommend it to all sushi lovers. I had the opportunity to have the baked mussel and that was very tasty. Baked just right with a little Kewpie and eel sauce. What was disappointing was that I ordered a hot green tea and drank 3/4 of it only. This tea cost me over $4 that came in a little cup that was slightly bigger than a traditional tea cup. All would have been okay but that price for green tea certainly left me leaving fuming. I am a big fan of sushi but this place is good but not good enough to make me want to revisit.“

“My bestie actually introduced me to this restaurant. We have gone during our lunch break ever since. The employees are so kind and welcoming. Plus, they have really taken the time to get to know each and every customer. They even already know my order. The food is really delicious and filling. I highly recommend eating here. It's only breakfast and lunch though. I believe it closes at 3pm.“

“Love this place.

Lalo is an awesome waiter, he’s only there on weekends.

Great:
- linguine vongole
- chicken parm
- salmon (ask them to not overcook)
- eggplant parm
- caprese salad

Check out their private dining rooms - Cantina and levendi“

“Good Friends - Good Food - Live Music - I’m in!!!“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“Love this place. Delicious and authentic tacos, sipes, burritos etc... Reminds me of the taco stands in Mexico with homemade tortillas.“

“Fast, friendly service! Delicious food!!“

“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“

“This is an excellent place to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. It is impeccably clean, and the service is amazing. Everything they sell is fresh, love anything with ube! Their pork and veggie empanadas are so delicious. Run, don't walk, this place is worth the calories.“

“The food is good, huge Portion’s . Many different food options to choose from. Cool atmosphere. Very artsy ! It was worth the day trip.“

“This is my third or fourth time coming here and I have never been disappointed. They have a great selection or hot and cold sandwich options and several different sides to choose from. Portions are also solid. The cookies are probably my favorite thing though - fresh and delicious.“

“I'm not a huge fan of pizza in general. I'll certainly eat it if that's what's available, but I don't generally seek it out. Rafael's, though? I often crave it. It's SO good. The crust is perfectly crisp and chewy, and it's not soaked in grease like your typical chain restaurant cheap pizza. Everything is very fresh, and any time we have friends over with kids, this is where we order our pizzas from. So glad we found this place!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“great place for dining....“

“Great food!!!! we had churo French toast combo. 😋😍yummy“

“Bonito lugar muy familiar para chikos y grandes“

“Gloria was so friendly, she greeted us warmly when we walked in and was ready to take our order as soon as we decided what we wanted. She even offered a helpful, friendly suggestion so we would have enough food for our group!

It's so nice to see hardworking, professional people like Gloria and the rest of the crew that was working today...it's clear that they have excellent work ethic and that they value their jobs!

Clean location, friendly staff and delicious food made fresh to order! 🤗“

“Garlic lemon chicken is really good“

“I couldn’t wait to share our experience at Benchmark restaurant in Santa Ana California. Everything about this place is perfection! It was a hot day, but the beautiful outdoor dining area was cool and breezy underneath the beautiful trees. Our waitress was knowledgeable, wonderfully friendly, and attended to all our needs. Each of us ordered a different item on the menu and I had to taste everything. I had the Spanish omelette, which was delicious, the burger seems like a very popular item understandably because that along with the delicious fries was exceptional. Enchiladas with mole were a wonderful treat, and the French toast was probably the hit of the table. This wonderful brunch dish was not exceptionally sweet, which made it so perfect. Some places just overdo it with the sweetness. We will definitely be going back many times to tryout dinners and more of the selections on all of the menus. I will also be spreading the word because this is probably my favorite place in Orange County now. Thank you Benchmark for a fantastic experience!“

“We stopped by after dinner around 8pm on a Friday and found a nice crowd already gathered! Churros are made fresh in their food truck, and you place your order at the stand next to it.

They usually accept cards, but their Square reader was down during our visit, so we made a quick run to the CVS across the street for cash. The prices are incredibly affordable, and for a group of four, we ordered 10 churros, 2 dipping sauces, and a buñuelo.

Everything came out warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I wish I had taken a photo of the churros, but we devoured it all before I even thought to reach for my phone—definitely check out other reviewers' pics!“

“Todo muy sabroso y muy buena atención..“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“Closes at 1:30pm :(
Very clean, not crowded, quiet, convenient to work, has plugs for charging, very nice workers, have some bakery options (4 types of croissant, avocado toast, breakfast sandwich etc) and has coffee (does not have soda options)“

“We ordered hara masala paneer, assorted starter and naan for dinner . Naan and paneer was too good. If you like spicy then you can ask them to make it. Service and staff are amazing. Place is decent. They have outdoor and indoor spaces for sitting.“

“We loved the decorations, it really felt like you were south of the border. Great food and service and all the staff was really friendly.“

“Delicious. Clam chowder for me. Sushi and Philly steak sandwich for the others with me. Awesomesauce!“

“The best coffee shop in Santa Ana's downtown, particularly in the 4th St. Market area

Parking: Parking structure allows the first 45 minutes free then two dollars per hour

Kid-friendliness: There’s games in the patio“

“Favorite shabu place, and we keep coming back : ) Each plate comes in small, med, or large + fresh veggies + rice + ice cream at the end.

Their sauces are great, music is good, and has super friendly service. Place is clean with easy parking.“

“Always love coming out West from the East coast and making our first stop to In-N-Out Burger!“
