My mom has frequent vegetarian periods for religious reasons so we often seek vegetarian cuisine. A…read morelot of our favorites have recently closed down so I looked up a new spot for us to try. I was really excited for Garden Fresh Vegan, but that excitement was short lived. Garden Fresh Vegan is located in a strip mall. There is plenty of parking. The business itself is small. It seems like they are primarily for togo customers. At the front there is a food-to-go area with about 6-8 dishes and a cashier. They were low on their offerings when we came, but that's fine because we planned to dine in. They have a few small tables inside. Service was immediately a turn off. The cashier criticized me for ordering too much, and even threw in that I should have ordered online. Jeez this is my first time here. How am I suppose to know that? Anyways, we ordered the Radish Pancake ($12), Korean Kimchi Pancake ($12), Peppered Oyster Mushroom ($18), Sesame Cold Noodles ($15) and Korean Jajamyun ($15). Ugh. So the radish was SPOILED. So gross. My mom was really mad and insisted I get a refund, but the lady super gaslit us that it was fine. This is something we have had elsewhere and it isn't suppose to taste like that. The Korean kimchi pancake was so so so soggy. This is suppose to be crispy. The peppered oyster mushroom was the only thing that was edible, but it was still overly salty. It was just the best BY COMPARE. Both the sesame cold noodles and Korean jajamyun were depressingly bland. Vegetarian/vegan food doesn't mean it needs to be bland. My mom was so over it, she said let's take it home to 'fix' it. Such an awful meal. I felt really bad for my mom to experience such a bad meal. Had to take her for another treat after for redemption. I gave them a 2 star since I got a refund on the spoiled radish but what I really want to give them is 1 star.

Vegetarian Lunch Buffet $14.99…read more Highly recommended for its flavorful dishes, rotating daily menu, and outstanding value at $14.99 for an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. I arrived a bit late during peak lunch hour and missed some items, but everything I tried was still delicious. The quality of ingredients and careful preparation were clearly noticeable. My favorites were the taro balls and a couple of other veggie-based fried ball dishes. The dessert section was a highlight for me, especially the almond tofu and Aiyu jelly, nostalgic favorites that tasted surprisingly authentic. The only downside is that the space can feel crowded and the floor is slightly uneven. Despite that, it's an easy 5-star experience. Great value, variety, and I'll definitely be back.

The mainstays such as the porridge and lightly brothed side dishes are also things I look forward to. From various melons (veggie eg winter) and radishes and tofu, there are so many tasty options. There's usually a few wok'ed dishes but also a few fried goodies like taro sesame balls and crispy meatless meatballs. I also like the soup available tho I usually skip it unless it's hot n sour. There's also a ramen bar but I can do that at home as last resort meal, so I never understood why ppl do this. But thats just my opinion. But my favorite thing is the dessert and beverage bar. You can make boba milk tea with fresh boba and milk tea on tap. There's usually two other tea options in addition but the highlight for me is the shaved ice. With all the toppings to boot. Grass jelly, tiger sugar, condensed milk, custard and more. I can't describe how this always makes me excited to no end. Especially in the summer. The price has gone up to $16/person for dinner now, but as always no tip necessary so it's still a crazy deal in my opinion. The seating area is also small so if the higher prices keep crowds down, I'm totally fine with that.

The food is a small part of what I was given though, as this places service is outstanding. The owner is the sweetest lady ever, and you can tell she loves serving the people in her community. This lunch spot is in fact a STAPLE of the local area. It was very common for me coming in over the course of the month to see firefighters, postal workers, construction workers, police officers, etc. all sitting down and eating. The owner of course knew many of these people, so you know they enjoy coming in. This restaurant SERVES the community and I am not surprised at all that everyone in there enjoys the company and food. What an amazing place. Although my work has ended in Walnut, you can bet that I will be visiting next time I am out there. I hope the owner sees this and knows how much I appreciate her and her staff! I am hoping for this businesses continued success, it deserves an award or some sort of recognition. Keep on serving! -Tytan

The food is amazing, but what really stood out was the customer service. The girl behind the counter had a great personality, explained everything thoroughly, and made the entire experience enjoyable. She overheard that I don't eat pork for religious reasons and immediately offered to completely sanitize her station before preparing my sandwich. That level of thoughtfulness and respect meant a lot to me. It's rare to find a place that delivers both excellent food and exceptional service, but this spot does exactly that. Highly recommend!
