Top Vegetarian Restaurant in Irvine
Lemonade Restaurant
2967 Michelson Dr # H, Irvine, CA 92612, United States
You can eat healthy, clean and good things inside. However, after you enter inside, you can get the things you do not want to buy with the lack of correct menu orientation, just like you have salad alternatives in the first exhibition and you go to the right and see the delicious foods! You see the cookware (slow cooked meals) later.Prices are little bit high. It is not a place where people who earn $ 48,000 dollars or more per year can choose as weekday lunch. This is very ironic but lemonade machines have also been broken recently. But when he works, old school style lemonade is very tasty. You can say easy little ice to enjoy your lemonade. It also comes for the whole glass of ice.After the meal, the place where you need to put your plates and forks is a bit troubled, you have to extract the dirty cutlery in the 1 minute basket waiting for you there. After paying such a money, I shouldnt take those plates out of my way and think about it. The Lemonade brand is a hygiene brand belonging to the segment, which does not have a money problem and has a healthy nutrition target.
Nekter Juice Bar
6793 Quail Hill Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92603, United States
Just visited this location in Irvine (6793 Quail Hill Parkway) at 5:40, only to find the doors locked. Store hours shown on the door say it is open until 7. After standing a few minutes, an employee walks up to the door to unlock it, and says “I'm on a break.” At this point I'm super confused and ask if the store is still open? He shrugs his shoulders, with an indifferent look on his face (and his face halfway down below his nose), and says again “I'm on my break. Can you wait like 15 minutes.” I replied, “No thanks” because 1) his attitude was one of someone who couldn't be bothered to smile or do his job to keep your store open during posted store hours, and 2) I don't have a lot of trust in someone making my smoothie who operates like this. I hope someone at Nektar corporate is interested in looking into what is happening operationally at this location, because I can say if this is even an occasional occurrence, folks here will quickly choose to go elsewhere. Very disappointing.

Wow!!! Thats all I kept saying to myself, wow!!!! First off, its very roomy here and the decor was just clean and bright! We made our own bowls and the ingredients are impressive!!!!! There is so much to choose from, I wanted pretty much everything!!!! This is the only place that has the most toppings and ingredients to choose from and also the best overall!!!!!! The only thing I wish they allowed was combining the protein and theres a section that was just toppings to sprinkle over the bowl but it wasnt labeled so to save them trouble, they should put a sign what the toppings were. Toppings and dressings were so unique! They even asked if you wanted light, medium, or heavy on the dressing! Oh and the best party at the end, they mixed the bowl for you! That was really impressive!!!! This is my new healthy spot and hope they open up a lot more locations!!!
Annapoorna Indian Cuisine
14450 Culver Dr, Irvine, CA 92604, United States
One of the worst restaurant. They have so much attitude and dont care about customers. One has to avoid this place at all cost. There are other better vegetarian/vegan restaurants in Irvine, who serve customers with gratitude and better hospitality.
Maast Indian
15358 Alton Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92618, United States
BEWARE of this restaurant! Today I went there and ordered 1 tandoori paneer burrito and the lady (cashier) accepting order repeated after taking my order 1 Tandoori CHICKEN burrito. I immediately corrected her :NO NO NO NO I want 1 tandoori paneer burrito and make sure it is only vegetarian as I have SEVERE ALLERGIES from meat products.She assured me and showed me the bill that it is going to be vegetarian paneer tandoori burrito. I believed her and after eating half of the burrito, I realized that she gave me CHICKEN burrito. I became very scared as I have severe allergies from meat products. I went back to them and complained about it and that lady and a guy at cash counter were TOTALLY UNAPOLOGETIC about what they did. When I tried to discuss it with other customers to give them a headsup and ask them for help, that lady and guy said to me: DO NOT DISTURB OTHER CUSTOMERS AND DONT CREATE A SCENE. Take your money($16, price that I paid for burrito) back and go. I am scared if I collapse or have some health issues, who will take care of me as my family is not around at the moment. I have attached the pics of my order receipt which says Tandoori paneer burrito( vegetarian) and the aluminium foil on roll which has lable paneer which is a vegeatrian product and a third pic which shows chicken inside my burrito. I never had chicken earlier so I showed it to multiple customers that were present in theat restaurant and they all said it is chicken. I am writing this long negative review not only because I am afraid about my health but also to give A HEADSUP TO ALL THE EXISTING AS WELL AS NEW CUSTOMERS TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU OR YOUR FAMILY/LOVED ONES HAVE ANY ALLERGIES because the workers and/or owners here really dont care about you or your health.
Yard House
620 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618, United States
Waited like an hour to be seated. Not a big deal it was busy but when we came to get our seats they were like “oh actually we don't have seats for you guys” and sat us in high top chairs and then had to move us inside (we have a 1 year old and told us they don't sit them in high top chairs). We all ordered our food with one waitress but then never saw her again. One person brought out my MIL's food, then another 15-30 minutes later brought out my husbands. Another 30 passes and my food never came out... I went to the bathroom while my husband told them to just cancel the order and I saw what I ordered in the window sitting by itself far away from everything else and I wondered if maybe that was mine and just got forgotten about? When I came back from the bathroom I pointed it out to my husband (not knowing he canceled the order) and I was like well maybe they'll tell us they already made it and I can eat it on the way home. But I could see the manager bring it to the back and do whatever with it. He couldn't even come apologize or nothing. I would've waited but I was pregnant and getting really sick from not eating for such a long time. So while everyone had super yummy food I had fast food I waited hours to eat ?I was so excited too because I love yard house in ocean side. And we were excited to show our Mom this restaurant too but we were in Irvine not Oceanside unfortunately...
Pieology Pizzeria Spectrum, Irvine, CA
713 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618, United States
Pieology is legit. Its too legit to quit! Its okay readers if you dont know what that means. Just ask your parents. Oh the memories. Im old :/.Do you ever have a problem deciding what kind of pizza toppings to get? Do your family members say I like anything but they really dont? Well its time to get an individual pizza the way you want it and nobody can stop you!LOCATION:This is an odd location for a restaurant, around the corner from Wahoo Fish Tacos. Its such a long walk from the main entrance near the theater area. The Food Court is closed, so for you cheapies out there this is a great option.PRICE:The Price is Right! Sure, you can get a whole pizza at Pizza Hut or Little Ceasers for the same price, but can you have it your way and is it cooked in from of you? Yes, this matters! Search Youtube for pissed off Pizza Hut Employee and see how your pizza is made at your local chain pizzaria. Gross.SEATING:Limited but if you are willing to wait a table usually opens up. The food is usually served in a timely manner. Outdoor seating is shaded except for the tables outside of the covered patio. I know it doesnt get too hot in Irvine, but I just dont want to feel like a Pizza before eating one.QUALITY:Its okay. Not CPK or a typical pizza joint. I feel like the chefs speed up the cooking process to feed many people quickly. Cooking and consistancy can vary. My pizza turned out pretty good when every I go, but I did see a lady next to us with a burnt crush and raw center, but Im sure that happens when you overload your pizza with too many items. My first visit the server put on a redicious amount of oil. I thought he was trying to make a Tostada or a large potato chip. Oil is not a sauce!! Oil is not your friend. Every pizza turns out greasy so you may want to order a drink. My second visit I asked for light oil with extra sauce. This was a lot better. Pieology is good, but I would still take Round Table over it any day of the week.The quality of your pizza is in your hands. Depending what topping you choice can make or break the flavor. So choose wisely. If you pretend that this is an all you can eat buffet. Go ahead load on the toppings if thats your thing, but dont blame me if your Out is not as fun as your In. I suggest you stick to one type of cheese mozarella. If you want any of the other cheese go for it, but to me cheese is just mold. Its true google it! Always get extra sauce and light oil. I would stick to 2 or 3 meats max and load on about 3 veggies and always add garlic and basil. You may not get kiss at the end of your date, but it will be worth it. Besides you will have protection from twinkle twinkle sparkle Twilight glider-faced vampires. Add extra garlic and onions if you need.I recommend Pieology! However, if you like quality pizza or if you are gonna tell me Chicago style Deep Dish is the only real pizza, you will be disappointed. If you enjoy cheap food without tip, this is a great place for those on a budget. Save your money for movie tickets, shopping, and drinking (Kids Im talking about juice).
Urban Plates
13380 Jamboree Rd, Irvine, CA 92602, United States
Date Visited: December 9, 2023Meal: DinnerWeather: SunnyDining Company: Me and my girlfriendOccasion: Regular dinner, no special celebrationAmbiance: Casual Dining with inviting patio seatingReturning to Urban Plates in Tustin, a spot Ive frequented occasionally over the years, this dinner experience was notably mixed. Heres a detailed snapshot:Atmosphere: The restaurant exudes a warm and inviting vibe, enhanced by its comfortable patio seating. The overall casual atmosphere is perfect for a laid-back meal.Cuisine and Drinks: For dinner, I enjoyed Salmon with brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes, and my girlfriend had steak with broccolini and brussel sprouts, accompanied by a refreshing fruit drink. We both had water to drink.Service: The evening was marked by service challenges. With the restaurant being under-staffed, there was a noticeable lag in service. A significant delay in our meals being served at different times (30 minutes apart) was a bit of a letdown. The manager did comp us a dessert for the inconvenience.Cleanliness and Comfort: The restaurant maintained a decent level of cleanliness, with both the dining area and bathrooms being acceptably clean. The seating comfort was adequate for a casual dining place.Noise Level: Moderate, conducive to conversation without being disruptive.Menu Variety and Special Diets: Impressive and diverse menu options are available, catering well to various diets like vegetarian, keto, vegan, and gluten-free.Dessert Options: Contrary to initial thoughts, the dessert menu at Urban Plates is quite extensive, offering a delightful range of choices for those with a sweet tooth.Value for Money: Reasonable pricing for the quality and portion sizes of the meals.Parking: Convenient, making access to the restaurant hassle-free.Special Features: The restaurant is pet-friendly and kid-friendly, with a pleasant outdoor seating option.Final Thoughts: While the food quality and menu diversity are commendable, the service aspect left room for improvement. Will I return? Maybe. The extensive dessert menu and the quality of the main courses are appealing, but better synchronization in service would enhance the dining experience. For those looking for a casual meal with a variety of options, Urban Plates remains a solid choice, provided youre not in a rush.
The Lime Truck Southern California
16211 Construction Cir W, Irvine, CA 92606, United States
Somebodys got a case of the Mondays! I love Mondays, said no one ever, but having a VIP event on a Monday makes it a lot better. Oh that and Monday Night Football. You down with TLT? Yeah, you know me! So I learned that TLT are the letters for The Lime Truck. Im such a noob! I still have not tried The Lime Truck until today. Its strange because the truck has showed up outside of my apartment and workplace many times, but I was always out sick or traveling when this happened. I promise I was not avoiding you TLT. I finally popped my TLT cherry! :)Thank you TLT for such a great event. This is better than happy hour with beer and spiked Limeade! I am glad that I was able to sample this place because I was looking for a fast casual food restaurant for a pre-movie dinner at the Irvine Spectrum. Stupid food court is closed and I dont always have 2 or 3 hours to wait for a larger restaurant such as Yard House or Cheesecake Factory.Here are few items we got to enjoy:Califlower Ceviche with chips- I know there is no meat in here but this stuff is the shiznit. It doesnt taste like ceviche to me without fish or shrimp, but its like a delicious salsa substitute.Braised pork with noodles- believe me that Im making the Homer Simpsons salivation face. I will be coming back for more of this.Lamb Slider- good stuff!Short Rib Quesadilla Wedges- not a fan of most quesadilla but you had me at rib meat.Pork Belly Nachos- not explanation needed. So good, but getting full at this point.Lime Panna Cotta- a great desert to clean the palate.
Taco Bell
4101 Campus Dr, Irvine, CA 92612, United States
This is one of the cleaner Taco Bell that I have been to. The staff is extremely friendly and greet you as you walk in. The lines are pretty short and the food comes out in a quick manner. What really strikes me is the interior is well kept and offers a clean comfortable environment. I assume since its located next to a campus, they provide a lot of outlets for their guests. Ive studied here before and its quite pleasant due to its quiet nature and their comfy couches.The only downside about this place would be that the bathroom has a really bad odor. Also, not really a big negative but sometimes the food for the drive through does take quite a bit longer. But this depends on the amount of vehicles in front of you.I would definitely recommend this place if you want a quick bite to eat or somewhere quiet to study. I would also recommend coming in around 2- 5 for their happy hour. Dollar drinks and Baja blasts.
