    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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.
