50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Ana

“A tasty vegan burger, every time. Good people run this place. They have good hearts. They are advocates. For people as much as for animals. They serve tasty vegan fast food. They have excellent and consistent quality. But for some reason they aren't ever incredibly busy when I come. I want them to be. Businesses like this should succeed. 

In the mood for a burger? Come here. #GoVegan“

“Excellent sandwich shop. Everything on the menu is vegan. Subs only, but they come freshly pressed and warm on delicious bread with nice veggies/arugula/toppings. Satisfies cravings for sure! Indoor ambience pretty bland but nice outdoor tables. Usually not crowded - come support this great place! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-06“

“Why isn't there a Tutto Fresco in LA County I hope to see one soon. You start with foccacia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then I got the bruchetta and my main entre was penne pasta. It was a meal for 2. Which I didn't expect the size of the portions. What really throws me off is the restaurant. You come in and order than you sit down and its brought to you. Like fast food restaurant but its NOT. And, and it has a drive thru just like a fast food“

“The oven-grilled branzino plate did not taste like it was freshly prepared. I noticed that the chef cooked the branzino over an open flame in front of other guests, but mine was not prepared that way. As a result, my dish did not seem as fresh or flavorful.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“Best Turkish food that is easy flavorful consistent and never misses. I love this place“

“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.“

“Great spot for pho and noodles. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. The broth is rich and flavorful you can tell it’s been cooking for hours.

The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend trying the garlic noodles and the spring rolls they’re a perfect combo.

Overall, really good food, good value, and a place I’d come back to again.“

“This is a hidden gem, let me tell you. I almost turned around because of the unpleasant environment outside, but once you pass that door, you’re transported into a completely different world.

The food was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this place. I suggest asking the chef to surprise you with a dish; he knows what’s best. I’ll definitely be coming back when I fly into town.“

“Our server Baylee was super sweet and attentive. I’ve never had a bad experience here but she was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. The food was good, and the watermelon sangria was refreshing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back soon.“

“Food so good you're gonna wanna hug the chefs. Worth the 15 min wait, super welcoming and kind. Amazing coffee and they brought us 2 welcome pastries before we even ordered anything. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal as much as this. Definitely coming back. This location is special.“

“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“

“vegetavle beef soup and house salad was good“

“Food And Service is always outstanding. One of my favorites here is the hot turkey sandwich. Everyone here is always friendly and very attentive.“

“This place is consistent. The flavors are very unique, specially when you reach the end of the counter and you can have your pick of the different sauces. I love the hot sauce and I feel like it compliments the food very very well. The location is a little bit small compared to their others, I feel like I have been choosing smaller locations but it's still a nice place to eat.“

“Good breakfast. And good service“

“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!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“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!“

“This is my new favorite Thai restaurant, been a few times now to try different dishes each time. There a couple of exceptions, like the chicken wings, that weren't to my taste but virtually everything was delicious. Highly recommended!“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“We had such a great experience! I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had the chicken enchiladas Michoacanas. Both dishes were full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. We also had two margarita flights, and every flavor was delicious. The food, drinks, and overall experience were excellent. And our server Vanessa did an amazing job she was so attentive.“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“Absolutely breathtaking — one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had!

I’m a true sushi lover, and Ponzu Sushi completely exceeded my expectations. From the atmosphere and presentation to the freshness and incredible flavors, everything was outstanding.

The Thousand Island, Long Beach, and Snowflake rolls were absolutely over the top — creative, beautifully presented, and seriously delicious. Every bite was an experience.

You can tell that a lot of care and passion goes into the food here. If you love sushi, Ponzu is a must-try. I’m already looking forward to coming back! 🍣❤“

“Pretty good soup/noodles. Noodles were bouncy and good amount of chew. The broth was good and very comfy. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, but I left very satisfied. The liangpi was also really good. The chili sauce was the weakest part of the liangpi but still good overall.“

“First time for trying their cakes, but gotta say, their weekend only Croissant selections are sooo authentic. Fresh, fluffy and flavorful.

Back to the cakes, we have taro and Black Forest(so many choices), way above average and can tell the true bakery soul. Moisture, no headache sweet, the cream is just so right. Need to digest the impulse sugar cravings, till next time, will try more.“

“Garlic lemon chicken is really good“

“We’ve been here several times now, and it never disappoints. The prices are honestly some of the best around, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. They have a huge selection of sushi rolls, so there’s something for everyone, and everything we’ve tried has been fresh and delicious. The baked lobster roll is definitely worth ordering! The staff is always friendly, service is quick, and the atmosphere is relaxed. If you’re looking for great sushi without spending a fortune, this place is hard to beat. We’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

“there food is really good especially there keto tacos...people you should try and eat there food here I promise you that you kept regret it“

“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.“

“Todo muy sabroso y muy buena atención..“

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

“I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. Ill admit I was nervous at first, as ive never really tried Indian food. I was immediately welcomed in, not rushed to order, and they were extremely patient. Obviously the service was fantastic, that doesnt mean the food wasnt anything short of spectacular. My first bite I got a wave of flavor so unlike anything ive had before. I immediately understood why there are so many good reviews here. Thank you for being so kind and making such good food. I dont live nearby but will definitely be coming back.“

“Ok, you must get down to Pik Up Stix on West MacArthur Boulevard! The food is incredible, the experience wonderful, and the most amazing thing about this place is the Manager, Jesus, truly, he is a gentleman as he goes “Above & Beyond” for each and every customer!

Get down here, YOU’LL LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks so kindly, Jesus, you
make this place “Magical”

“Me and my gf came across their truck in Anaheim off Euclid and ball. Spotted them a few times before but never got to stop for some churros. Finally tried them out and it was delicious! The guy working was so kind and gave us a free sample of churros with some dip😁“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Food great but no restroom in a sit down restaurant not good“

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

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

“I live nearby and would like to support this Bar 100%. Staff and food quality and cleanliness are equally excellent. Have been going to this bar for more than 5YRs. Also, the location and the next-door wonderful restaurants are attractive to hang out.
This review is to suggest a few things that might attract more traffic: providing options of peanut-sauces (I loved the P. sauce from California Shabu Shabu but chose this Bar to support the business), installing the led-blinking light with a design for the interior wall and wrap around the bar. I believe few small additions would make the difference. Thanks for reading.“

“Una de las mejores comidas 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Games, bar and DJs are cool. Live bands aren't trialed and there's no sound guy. Bathrooms don't work.“

“Food is delicious and service is great!“
