Matcha Smoothie
Kimi S.

Looking for a quick, casual spot to get some solid vegan food? This is it! The type of place where you order at the counter, take a number, then take a seat. Ample seating inside with a little stage for some sort of open mic night. There is also outside seating. Friendly service, cool and modern ambiance, chill place to gather with friends. The wonton soup hit the spot on a chilly night, the wontons were hearty and delicious, the veggies were fresh. The orange chicken was solid, my husband enjoyed it with the rice. Egg rolls were great! Matcha smoothie was ok but I wouldn't order it again.

Jasmine Green Milk Tea

All I can say is chili oil! lol I've had the food at Vegan District before. It's good! This time, Vegan District had a booth at a vegan event. They were selling their chili oil by the jar. My husband is obsessed with this chili oil! So, I got him a jar of it, while I was here. The lady at the booth was very kind. She had a cute stuffed bao bun. It was sooooo cute! I wanted one lol But they weren't selling those, just the chili oil. It was really neat finding them at the vegan event.

Veggie chow mein
Kermeka D.

I loved the lychee iced tea with lychee jelly. We really enjoyed crispy chicken and oyster mushrooms. The veggie chow mein was not too oily. The beef and broccoli and green beans were okay but did not have a super flavorful sauce. This was our second time here and we brought a non-vegetarian/vegan with us. She also was a fan so we will defimitely be coming back!

Fried chicken
Tap D.

Mostly everything we ordered was great! We should have added some saucier dishes as the oyster mushrooms (table favorite) were really crispy and salty and the chicken was also pretty dry, as to be expected from a deep fried dish. The vegetables chow mein was only ok. The lychee drink was amazing with plenty of lychee! The green beans were good and so was the beef brocolli but didnt give us enough sauce to balance the other 2 dishes.

I could've sworn I wrote a review for this place, but I guess not? That's neither here nor there, but here it goes. Totally coming back to this place! This place is something straight out of SGV or Rowland Heights. The food is on part with any vegetarian place out there. The only gripe is: you can't really get anything al a carte. Well, I asked and the answer was yes, but you just don't get the rice, and you don't get any more of the dish. Kung pao tofu- filling, with a sauce that was pretty good. Orange chicken- soy based protein, very sauce heavy, but still good. Oyster mushrooms- get these and eat them all. Parking was easy. Service was good.

Solid Green Beans

Great Vegan spot Green beans were cooked perfectly Solid. I started eating before the photos thus it looks light inside the to go to box

For some reason i thought this was an accumulation of many vegan eateries, i suppose the name threw me off! It's actually just eatery. I snapped a photo of the items that I ordered. The cheese wonton was different in that it was sweet. That was a bit novel for me. Loved the crunch! I really enjoyed the crispy oyster mushroom. Surprisingly it didn't taste 'oily ' & i really enjoyed this item on the menu. The mongolian pork tasted pretty good as well, I only wished there was more fresh vegetables included in this dish. This place is worth a try if you are in the area. Friendly staff. Great service! I would say that this is a location you can take friends to who want to transition from the average western diet to a more plant-based. It's def worth a visit if you are in the area, but it's not something you'd want to eat every day.

Beef and broccoli
Frank P.

Delicious Vegan Asian food. We had the Broccoli beef, Orange chicken, and cheese wonton. The wonton were free for signing up on their website. The food here is so good. It didn't taste like it was Vegan. My lady and I shared our plates. I can't decide which plate I liked more. I'm not Vegan and both were so good. Employees here are helpful and friendly. Service was very good. My lady and I will definitely be back.

Orange Chicken Brown Rice
Amber D.

Came here to get the restaurant week special. We were only allowed to get to go as we had arrived 20 minutes before a comedy show happening there and priority seating was for priority show patrons. Overall I enjoyed my food. I had the orange chicken which came with brown rice and dragon fruit tea. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. It was very filling and the dragon fruit tea was the right amount of sweetness. The only thing I wish came with it was some sort of vegetable. The workers there were friendly and very helpful even though we got there close to closing time.

Inside Decor

My family and I went shopping in OC area back in February. We were exploring different vegan dishes and came across this on Yelp review. The ambiance is really nice and clean. You can place your order via kiosk or through the cashier. They will bring it to your table once it is ready. Ordered: Cheese Wontons (4)- Sweet vegan cream cheese, crispy with sweet and sour sauce. When it comes to vegan cheese, I often tend to stay away but this appetizer was crunchy, and filling was perfect to taste. I wished they served more pieces. Green Beans Sautéed, savory sauce, imitation ground meat - love the crunchy beans and it taste just like the Walnut Shrimp- Battered imitation shrimp, vegan sweet mayo sauce, candied walnuts, steamed broccoli. Don't be afraid to try this dish. The sweet creamy texture of this dish was delicious. Kung Pow Chicken - Sweet and savory kung pao sauce with imitation chicken, bell peppers, contains peanuts. (Spicy, Nuts) - This dish was interesting and flavorful. It tastes similar to the traditional kung pao dish. House Tofu - Savory brown sauce, fried tofu, cucumbers, carrots. (Spicy) The food was absolutely amazing. It tastes very close to non-vegetarian dishes. If you are near Knott's Berry Farm and want to eat Chinese vegan for a change, stop by here.

Took a risk coming here since I had no idea if the food was going to taste good. I wanted vegan Asian food and this was nearby so I gave it a chance. Upon arrival I realized it took over what used to be Hiccups restaurant. After looking at the menu I decided to get the kung pao chicken with white rice, cucumber salad, and a passion fruit tea. Total was almost $30 and although I feel thats pretty typical nowadays for a quick meal, it isn't cheap. However, I was able to eat the meal twice. I would say the food was tasty but not sure if I am dying to come back. The passion fruit tea was okay, but I really couldn't taste the tea. It tasted more like passion fruit syrup in water. Hmm I almost want to give this place a 4 stars, but I dont think it's there yet. 3.5 stars for the decent tasting food and service, but the drink and the price for the whole meal puts it at a fair 3.5.

Denise H.

Definitely pretty good but I'd up the flavor and zest. Being Asian, I have a big palette and love spicy and salty flavors. This was a bit mild for me but I can taste the potential and freshness. Loved the texture of the tofu!

General Tso's Mushroom and Eggrolls
Patrick H.

What a great hidden gem. Book marked this place and decided to stop by for lunch, good idea. The service was friendly, interactive and suggested great items for my next visit. Let's start off as the egg rolls were the best egg rolls I've had in a long time. Tasty without the sauces. The General Tso Mushroom entree was equally as delicious and not over powering with flavor. Mushrooms tasted fresh and a crispy batter but not heavy. The ambiance was just my kind of vibe, cool on a hot day, music going and peaceful. Safe to say I will be back very soon. Thank you Vegan District!

The first time I came was last year with friends for a birthday, and while it was perfectly fine, I left thinking, "That was nice." Nothing more. Then I moved to the area, fate (or maybe just convenience) nudged me back through the door, and I decided to try something different. That's when things took a turn. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, the kind of place that feels like it's giving you a warm hug the moment you walk in. The two girls who usually work there are absolute sweethearts. They're always kind, welcoming, and attentive even when they're experiencing a huge rush. I've become such a creature of habit that they already know my order before I even sit down. It's always the soy beef pho. Every bowl arrives like a tiny cauldron of comfort, bubbling hot with clouds of fragrant steam, accompanied by crisp bean sprouts and a bright wedge of lemon. The broth is rich, savory, and deeply soothing-I love that it doesn't taste like it's soaked in MSG compelling me to guzzle gallons of water afterwards. Every ingredient tastes fresh, every sip feels intentional, and every visit somehow manages to feel just as comforting as the last. Since transitioning to a more plant-based diet, I thought I wouldn't be able to easily find the same comforting experience that mimicked the memories I had of eating this dish with my dad growing up. This restaurant has managed to gently restore that memory like a small candle fire warming my soul. This place is unassuming from the outside, but once you step in and experience it for yourself, it is truly, truly special.

I am reassured to hear that we're not the only ones that noticed the change.

We tried the chips and guacamole. I really enjoyed the chips . I don't know if they are house made, but they had a great flavor. The guacamole was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. I had the tater tots as a side, and you get a lot! They were crunchy and perfect with lots to share and take home,l. My husband ordered a steak burrito I believe which he very much enjoyed . I had the crispy chicken wrap which I have to say I was not a fan of. The homemade vegan ranch tasted a little off to me and had a weird texture . The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing although I was not a fan of the "elevator and holding music " that was playing in the background. . Parking was a bit of a hassle because there are a lot of restaurants in the area , but it wasn't too bad . All in all I am not sure we would be back for the food, but the customer service was excellent.

I only tired the spicy garnet- Spicy garnet: 4/5: this was a creamy chicken ramen. Though it was supposed to be creamy, the broth was still light and has a hint of creaminess rather than being heavy. The spice was delicate as well rather than tongue numbing or tummy upsetting. I infact added more spice mix that was available on the table top. What didn't work was the fact that the egg and chicken were cold. I understand they keep them cold to prevent them from going bad but I would have preferred them to heat it up serving it. Dunking them in hot soup might work but it ends up warming up the entire dish rather than keeping it hot. Other than that minor quibble this was a very decent bowl of ramen.

So it was both my dad and my first time having dinner here tonight! Some key differences between this location and the Loving Hut location in Orange are: 1.) There's a tighter parking lot that's shared with a bunch of neighboring businesses. I recommend to reverse into your spot for your own peace of mind. 2.) It's pretty warm and humid inside of this location. I don't know why, but dress lighter because their air conditioning might be out, lol. It's also an older restaurant since this location has been around longer. 3.) Prices are a bit higher here, but it seems like the portions are also larger. As for the food itself, I think they have some overlapping menu items such as the Spicy Cha Cha, bun bo hue, pho, pad thai, fried rice, and other standard dishes here. There were also some dishes that seem to be unique to each location as well. The Lucky Lemongrass, for example, seems to be a Garden Grove restaurant exclusive. I tried it for the first time tonight and it was actually pretty mind-blowing. There was actually a bit of heat to it, so if you don't like spice, I'd recommend letting your server know that. Tonight I came to the realization that I actually really love this dish so much more in vegetarian/vegan format compared to its actual chicken format. The reason for that is purely sensory and situational. I love lemongrass, but having the traditional Vietnamese chicken dish has always stressed me out because of the bones, fatty chicken skin, tendons, etc. Having lemongrass chicken tonight in vegan format tonight was suuuuch a game changer because I didn't have to deal with ANY of that previous sensory nightmare, LMAO. Just straight chomp and I was in seasoned heaven. It was just all flavor and none of the hassle I had to deal with before, and it kinda made me feel emotional, lowkey. It's weird to think about how different ways of preparing meals increases their accessibility for certain folks, but it really does! I genuinely thought I was never going to be able to fully enjoy this dish ever again, but Loving Hut put me on. Anyway, my stomach is always in such a better state after having Asian vegetarian and vegan food. Feeling like a G6 again~
