    Breakfast Burrito and tacos (one of each)
    Nina W.

    Parking lot is kinda poorly designed but the area is pretty cool. Dog friendly outdoor dining! I tried each of the 3 tacos: Beer battered Avo taco, adobo taco and the grilled mushroom taco. The Avo taco is definitely the best!! It's so good and the flavors are perfect. The adobo taco is second and the grilled mushroom was ok. My husband ordered the burrito from the brunch menu and he thought it was pretty good for being vegan. He's not a vegan fan and he didn't mind it. The burrito is heavy on the seasoning though. We also got the lake show mocktail. Pretty but NOT worth the $10. Spend it on food. Would recommend to try!

    Jackfruit Nachos
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located in the lab anti mall in Costa Mesa - parking available in lot though can be hard to find during busier hours - indoor and outdoor seating available - we walked in on a weekend evening though it was filled so might be a good idea to make a reservation - food served relatively quickly - ambiance good for a semi casual meal MENU - global inspired small bites and entrees - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - jackfruit nachos (8/10): corn chips topped with black beans, adobo style jackfruit, chipotle sour cream, almond cotija, and salsa. This was listed under the big plates section of the menu and the portion size did not disappoint. It could be shared between a few people as a larger starter or eaten as an entree for one. The flavors worked well together as many of them had a Mexican influence. I requested to add the walnut chorizo which was nice to make the dish slightly heartier. The one thing that i wish they had added was a dollop of guacamole. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The menu selection is diverse for both dinner and brunch.

    Vegan paradise!!! Their bowls and salads are definitely the best. My family got K-bowl and cauliflower bowl and they loved it. My partner and I got the Sunday brunch waffle and beet burger...I'd skip the waffle. It didn't have the right texture that a waffle is supposed to have. We also got the burnt brussels sprouts ..while the flavor was on point, it wasn't worth it in terms of portions.

    Purple taquitos, tomato soup, pure Joy. Devoured the grilled cheese too quickly to document (oops).,

    Seabirds has still got it. Hands down one of my favorite vegan restaurants -- and honestly, one of my favorite restaurants in all of Orange County. Beyond the standouts I mentioned in my last review, you absolutely can't go wrong with the Caesar salad (add the grilled tofu), the adobo jackfruit taco, or the SoCal Crunch Wrap. Ermagherd. I genuinely drool just thinking about this place. And did I mention the tomato soup and grilled cheese? Or the avocado-based chocolate mousse? Because I should have. Both are next-level. At this point, consider me officially addicted.

    My new favorite vegan restaurant. Absolutely loved the dishes I had so far. People are friendly, and the place is comfy and cute. Loved the fact the dishes here have their own unique flavors and style. Wha I enjoyed so far - soups, grilled cheese, tacos, enchiladas, burger..and mostly the desserts

    Purple Taquitos Grilled Mushroom Taco
    Jerline H.

    On a Tuesday afternoon at 6pm, my friend and I walked right in. The outside was bright without being ostentatiously sunny, and perfectly weathered - not too hot, not too cold. There were folks indoors, presumably trying to escape the rays of sun that we too were trying to avoid by sitting on the same side of the bench outside. Our waiter was delightful and helpful and efficient. Nook had sadly closed at 6pm so the first order of business was some caffeine. The matcha strawberry with oat milk did not disappoint. We also loved the purple potato taquito, the mushroom taco, socal crunch wrap, and the chaffle. I was impressed with the burst of flavor in each bite. I would get all of these options again, but seeing how delicious these were I am intrigued by the rest of the menu. When my friend suggested Seabirds, I was not enthused by the vegan label but I figured I was due for some veggies in my diet. Boy was I glad we gave this restaurant a try. I'll be back!

    Beets Me Burger
    Sara Z.

    If all vegan food was this good, it would be really easy to be vegan! Unfortunately the Long Beach location closed, so when we have the chance and happen to be in the area we try and make a stop here. The food is all really good and they have beautiful presentation. I recommend all the food we got (Beets Me Burger, Zippy Fries, Purple Taquitos, and the Butternut Squash Enchiladas) and while not necessarily cheap, I still feel like their prices are very reasonable. They present their food so well that it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. The staff is personable and they really make coming here an enjoyable experience. Seabirds is located in a super cool and unique shopping center with other fun little shops to check out. There's a pretty big parking lot, but it still gets busy but we've never had trouble finding a space.

    Strawberry margarita
    Nicolas J.

    Not a vegan but this food is so good I'll give up meat for a day. The burger is so good you'd be convinced it was meat if that's your usual preference. The enchiladas are amazing. Margarita is a nice flavorful option. Zippy fries when available are worth trying. In a decent size plaza with a decent sized parking lot. Not overly expensive and high quality food

    BBQ Burger with everything
    Angela D.

    This area is absolutely gorgeous! There's an outdoor and indoor seating area (outdoor is significantly better and feels more private honestly.) If you get cold easily, you're in luck as they have outdoor heaters that are turned on upon request. The service here is always great. We're never bombarded with questions here. Every time I go here, it's always a nice calm experience. The hostess was kind and our server was helpful, to the point, and friendly. The food left a bit more to be desired unfortunately. For a BBQ burger, I barely tasted the sauce. That ketchup for the fries though? Sweet mother of mercy that's probably some of the best ketchup I've had. Combining it with the burger certainly helped but the patty needed a tad more seasoning. Overall, cute place with good food! The parking here is nonexistent so be prepared for that frustration. I enjoyed what I received and left with a good feeling :) definitely will be coming back.

    Quesa Birria
    Stephanie S.

    I have previously been to Seabirds for weekend brunch, so this was my first time eating from the dinner menu! We were sat quickly and the vibe inside was great. I was able to have the Quesa Birria taco and it was AMAZING. 10/10 no notes. As someone who grew up with a Mexican mom who makes great food, I typically don't eat Mexican food out a lot. But let me tell you these quesa birria tacos are IT!!! The crunch of the taco with the consommé was perfect. The salsa it came with was perfectly spicy as well. We also had the mac and cheese 2.0 and the Beets me burger. Both were solid options and plated beautifully. The chocolate chip cookie was also great with the right amount of sweetness. Overall, it was a great experience and I will 100% be back for the quesa birria tacos!!

    Lemon Blueberry Pancakes
    Richelle T.

    Three of us quickly sat without a reservation for Sunday brunch. Love going out with a few friends because we can all taste more plates. I had the chilaquiles AND lemon blueberry pancakes. Unbelievable that its all vegan here because I couldn't tell the difference. Seabirds is part of the Anti-Mall so stuff your face and wander into all of the cute lil shops after!

    Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
    Anne-Marie N.

    Yum. Plant based food can be kitschy and very hit or miss. This was so flavorful and tasty. The items we tried all allowed the ingredients to stand out. I've been to the Lab a bunch, but somehow missed this little gem. The patio is adorable and there are heaters for the rare cold day. Our waitress was cute and super helpful. Answered all of our wacky questions and guided us to some great choices. Highly recommend.

    Ordered the fried pickles= frickles.   Potato taquitos, k-bowl and 3 tacos (1 of each kind)

Everything tastes incredible and I feel that even non vegetarians can enjoy their food. The Bo luc lac was superb, the sauce was sooo delicious. Honestly if I can take a jar of that sauce they used to make the shaken beef, I'd pour it over everything lol. They used a ton of watercress though and I'm not the biggest fan of watercress. I understand it's a salad but damn the ratio of watercress to "beef" is insane. The salt and pepper shrimp was also good and the sauce that paired with it had a spicy kick! They've got a big menu so I def want to come back to try their other items! Service was great. Everyone was very helpful and communicative and appreciated any feedback we had. Felt very welcoming!

Many dishes I've tried I would get again. The dining area is cozy with plenty of booth and table seating. The staff and service are always friendly and attentive. If you're adventurous with food or you are vegetarian/vegan, there are plenty of choices depending on what you're craving. From soups to rice dishes, vegan and raw entrées you won't find anywhere else. Most of the "meat" textures are pleasant and close to the real thing. A few of my current favorites: * Chicken Lemongrass has been my go-to and one of the cooked dishes I'll recommend for anyone who still eats meat. Comes with salad and black rice. * Wonton Soup has a clean, yet flavorful mushroom broth without being heavy. The wonton is tender with soy protein and mushrooms inside. * Humanese (Living Soup) is creamy and smooth with a pleasant flavor. * Yellow Noodles were a delicious bowl of light yet savory mushroom broth, fresh ingredients, a mix of vegan proteins, and thin noodles. * BBQ "Pork" Roll is a light starter with a tasty peanut sauce. * Salt & Peppered "Shrimp" - I enjoyed this, and the texture is close to an actual shrimp * The Paella is a pleasant and tasty surprise, with big slices of avocado and a blend of fresh, clean ingredients. * Bun No.35 is a refreshing, hearty dish that fills you up without feeling heavy. Pour the vegan fish sauce over the ingredients and mix well! * Curried Rice has a cool presentation, and the live food and fresh ingredients are delicious and filling. A few of my friends also enjoyed this dish. * Green Papaya Salad is a nice shareable classic dish with fresh ingredients, and the spice level is mild to medium. Elixirs, juices, teas, and smoothies can satisfy your taste buds and your body. Vegan desserts are also worth a try. Recently, they added vegan cakes! I'm looking forward to returning and trying more dishes!

    Randomly decided to try this place with the wife last night…read more I remembered there being a spot called mogu mogu here prior and confirmed with the waitress that it's the same menu! Spicy miso ramen: 9/10 Actually one of the better ramens I've had lately. The broth is creamier and isn't overpowering with chicken/beef flavor. The chashu was nice and tender as well. I really liked that their noodles were al dente and not too soft Deluxe mazemen: 8/10 Taking my first bite, I was instantly greeted with an explosion of umami. There's a LOT of flavor packed in this bowl and the noodles used are actually a bit thicker which is right up my alley. My only drawback on this dish was that I wished it came with some sort of veggies to cut through all the flavor. They also give you a small serving of rice at the end for you to mix into the bottom which was a nice addition Kurobota sausage: 7.5/10 We've recently been on a kurobota craze. Don't get me wrong, these were great but we've only had them charred and grilled before so I was taken aback when I saw that these were only steamed.

The interior is cozy and small with authentic Japanese decorations/setup. Kinda felt like we were eating in Kyoto or something, lol. The lady who served us was friendly and gave us good recommendations. I think she was handling the whole operation to be honest. To start it off, we ordered their specialty chicken karaage and it was very delicious. It has a nice crispy and crunchy texture. The batter on the chicken was good and once you bite it, the meat is juicy and tender. Doesn't really need dipping since it's so good. As for the Mazemen, we ordered the Deluxe and Veggie one, both is a 5/5. Very flavorful and it tastes just like ramen, but without the soup. The presentation of the dish looks like a work of art. Very picture pretty. I ate that shit up within ten minutes. After that they give you a scoop of rice so you can mix it up with the leftover sauce. Lots of umami for sure. Definitely will come back again to try the other flavors. People, trust me and come through!
