What an incredible find! I happened to come across Oasis Café while driving to my parents' house in…read moreRiverside, and I'm so glad we decided to stop. Even though they're still listed as vegetarian in some places, they told us they've actually gone fully vegan, which was such a pleasant surprise. As a family with vegans in my family, it's always exciting to find a restaurant where they have so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and made with care, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into the menu. Brenda was very welcoming and happy to answer our questions. We'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever we're in the Riverside area. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing vegan food!

This was my FIRST, TIME ever ordering with Oasis Vegan Vegetarian restuarant, at Address: 11550 Pierce Street. Riverside, Ca. 92505. Ph.#951-688-5423. I took ONE, bite and was PLEASANTLY, PLEASED!! :) My Food was 'HOT', & my ENTIRE meal was Soooo, VERY, GOOD, & the 'NICE' Lady @ 'Oasis' Vegetarian Cafe, CALLED me, to FIX my Order, because I 'FORGOT' to Choose what TYPE of Taco salad that I wanted, & She FIXED it right away for me TOO!! :) And my 'Order' came REAL, QUICK in about 15 min. from 'Julianna' of Door Dash as well. :) I suggest getting the Carnitas Taco Bowl, and the Sweet Potato fries, and the Hibiscus Tea, TOO!! You will 'NOT', REGRET IT!! AMEN. :-D I, DEFINITELY will be 'Ordering' from Oasis Vegetarian Cafe, along with Door Dash AGAIN!! A, VERY, SATISFIED, CUSTOMER: ValerieMcNulty :-D

After over a year, I finally came back to this location. I didn't want anything except the Pork…read moreBelly Banh Mi sandwich. Once again, I stand by claim that this is the most delicious sandwich there is! Specifically at this location, they have it down right. I tried this sandwich at a different Carrot and Daikon and it just didn't hit the way it does at this Corona location. Maybe I'm crazy, but if you have never tried this spot, try the Pork Belly here. The pork belly crunch followed by the fat that melts in your mouth, complimented with a slightly sweet and mostly savory sauce. Of course the carrot, Daikon, jalapeno and cilantro with the fresh banh mi make this top notch!! Wowza!

Full disclosure: I'm always suspicious of places that straddle the "fusion" food fence. I find…read more"fusion" usually translates to smothering something in an off-the-shelf international aisle sauce or wrapping it in a tortilla. Now, let me be clear, this restaurant does NOT mention the term fusion - at all. However, their menu whispers, "Hey there..." Crispy pork belly, lomo saltado, spam and egg. And, oh, brothers and sisters, they have gotten as close to paying the proper homage to all fusion cultures as I've seen. SPAM AND EGG: I'm chubby so SPAM is like my kryptonite. I had to have it. This sandwich threw me for a look. I'm used to other places overcooking the spam. NOT so at C&D. The spam was juicy. The fried egg was fluffy. The spicy sauce was genuinly spicy. I loved it so much that I've had it twice in three days. CRISPY PORK: I love the Chinese/Filipino Crispy Pork. The pork was nice and juicy. The skin was crunchy. Really great flavor. The only drawback was my own fault...of eating it cold because I had to eat the Spam and Egg sandwich first. LOMO SALTADO: I've got this sandwich sitting on my counter calling to me, in the queue while I finish my 2nd Spam and Egg Sandwich. I will come back to this review later today to fill in this blank. UPDATE: It was good! The meat was soft and juicy. Not quite the lomo saltado meat or flavor I'm used to or would expect, so the sandwich's name is a little misleading, but the flavor is good nonetheless. VIETNAMESE COFFEE (Large): I liked it. Yep. Not as overly sweet as I'm used to at Mr. Bagguette in LA, and that's a great thing. The only drawback is that it has a caffeine KICK. I felt the caffeine flowing through my veins 10 minutes after I took my first sip. Bread: In banh mi, the bread is the make-or-break. Here, the bread is not your typical medium to hard crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bread is on the softer side on the outside. It is a great change in pace for me because I haven't cut the top palette of my mouth like I usually do with harder bread. AND...that means that the sandwich doesn't lose it's character when I ate the sandwich cold later. STAFF: Very friendly! They are there to serve the customer. I've been greeted with a smile and genuine happiness. Great work C&D. You have a customer!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon from Temecula after church service coz we were all craving for…read moredumplings and I've heard about this place. Arrived around 1:15 pm and there was a long line so for me, this is an either a good sign or people are just hungry and there's no other choice. Signed up on their waiting list and waiting for about 30 mins before we got a table. IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND!! This is what we ordered: 1. XLB - 10/10 - freshly made, soup was very tasty, the filling was very flavorful. It gave DTF a run for their money. No need for ginger. Dip this in some chili oil and soy sauce and you're in for a treat! 2. Pork shiumai - 6/10 - it was good but not the best I've had. My least fave. 3. Schezuan eggplant - 11/10 - the best schezuan eggplant dish I've had. Fresh off from the wok so be careful eating this coz it is temperature hot. The flavor was full of umami, sweet, salty, and that sauce is heavenly!! 4. Cucumber salad - 10/10. Love the crispiness and garlic flavor of this app. Liked the addition of cilantro. 5. Garlic string beans - another 11/10 - it was a full plate of this all time fave of ours. Cooked to perfection!! Again a little touch of some salted black beans that added more umami flavor. 6. Dan Dan noodles - 10/10 - I'm a big fan of DD noodles and this was delish!! Love the freshness of the noodles and right balance of ground meat and flavor was spot on!! 7. House special chicken wings - 10/10. crispy, sweet, little tangy and BOMB! Lots of parking it's in a strip mall!! This place is legit! Service was great. Will definitely come back and try their other food!!

I tried this place when it had just opened but decided to give it another shot. I'm not sure if the…read morequality went down since the last time or if they were just extremely busy (which they usually are, I would highly recommend getting there early to put your name down) but the food wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. We got the shrimp fried rice, xiao long bo, and the spicy wontons. The rice was dry and clumpy. The shrimps were a large size but there weren't many. The spicy wonton was not spicy at all. I did enjoy their xiao long bao though. The broth was hot and fresh and the dumpling was perfect. It just got overshadowed by the other two dishes. I think in a pinch if you're craving you-know-what, this might scratch that itch.
