    Ate here with a couple of our vegan friends and I must say, the food is pretty good and fulfilling! I loved the mac and cheese and the fries. The bf enjoyed the salad. And the desserts were delicious and generously portioned. Would go back again, although id like to note it can be troublesome to find parking depending which time and day you visit this plaza.

    One of my most favorite vegan places!!! The food is just on another level and you can expect to have a great time between food, drink selection, service, and ambiance! This time we had the nachos and the beats me burger. The kambucha on tap was delicious! If it’s your first time— get the rolled tacos too :) They also have some really nice tables outside.

    Located at the end of the Lab anti-mall, last stop on your stroll through the space. Ordered the Beer battered avocado tacos, and another in my party ordered breakfast burrito. Both very delicious. I also ordered the Birdhound cocktail, delicious and sweet. Our server Dawn, was friendly, offered great suggestions.

    An all-vegan restaurant with a wide variety of options based on your appetite. We enjoyed their iced teas and lemonade. Personally, I enjoyed their avocado taco and soup. In addition, they offer indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere of this shopping center is truly special.

    Delicious. Went three times last week. Definitely try their blueberry mint lemonade, mushroom taco, beer battered avocado taco, and their mac & cheese. Their brussel sprouts were also 10/10, perfectly cooked!

    Excellent vibes and food! Vegan mac n cheese is a must try but it seems like you can’t go wrong with any item on their menu. Brunch biscuit and ham and cheese sandwich were crafted so deliciously well. Would definitely come back next time we visit SoCal.

    This place is great for vegetarian and vegan dishes. I enjoy coming here for dinner and trying out all the creative and delicious meals. Good place for a date too as the ambience is hard to beat. They have a great outdoor area. Staff here is A+, they really go above and beyond to treat you well.

    A small restaurant in Costa Mesa with a very cozy setting. They have ample vegan choices. We loved their Purple Taquitos and also the Beets burger. The warm cauliflower salad bowl was not up to the mark. Tried their blueberry lemonade and it was amazing. The staff is super friendly and helpful with suggestions. We sat outside because we had a huge group, and it was comfortable with the patio heaters. Will definitely go again.

    Have been there quite a few times before. Love their food and service. They allow dogs in their patio, so our furry kids also had good time. I don’t want to mention any particular dish as all their dishes are delicious.

    We've been to Seabirds Kitchen Los Feliz (see review) but never the Costa Mesa location. Stopped today on the way home from the Clippers' game for a bite. So glad we did. Started with mocktails (both good:) Then moved on to grilled cheese w/ tomato soup and a bowl of the chickpea masala soup. (Rainy day so soup seemed like a natural.) We liked both but the masala soup was the winner here. Amazing flavors and textures and aromas. Wife & I agreed next time we'd ask if they could do the masala soup WITH the grilled cheese and skip the tomato soup 😉. Finished with butternut enchiladas - So, so yummy! The icing on the cake was the service, especially our server, Dalila. Happy, inviting, great suggestions, prompt. And, she wasn't put off when I asked if we could buy some of their cashew gruyere to take home. So happy they said yes! All in all, very glad we stopped for an enjoyable experience. Keep up the good work, Seabirds Kitchen!

    Went on a Sunday night and it wasn't as busy as expected. We sat on the patio and they're dog friendly so we brought our puppy. I ordered the rosé and it was very easy to drink, love that all their wines are from France or Italy. As for food we ordered the Cauliflower, Mushroom tacos, Butternut squash enchiladas, and the nachos. The Cauliflower was fried very well and seasoned perfectly; we asked for the enchiladas extra spicy and they added jalapeno, it was tasty. The mushroom tacos were oversalted sadly, but adding enough hot sauce helped. The nachos were large and the Al pastor jackfruit on them was a hit. Lastly we tried the peach cobbler and ice cream, with the drizzle on the side it was delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. Overall I would recommend coming here and trying a few things out, especially since it's all plant based. The service was also attentive and courteous.

    Absolutely loved this little place-- got the jackfruit nachos, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was amazing, portions were large and nothing tasted synthetic. Took a non vegan friend too and she adored it. The cookie was fantastic too, GF as well!

    I am a vegetarian from India, after looking for 2 years to find a decent vegetarian/vegan restaurant I found this place. It is awesome. The food was very tasty and the drink was good too. I had the Beets Me Burger (5/5) and birdhound (5/5). Definitely worth visiting. I am going back again soon.

    Great vegan spot in OC! We had brunch here the other day and the meat lovers in my party liked it just the same.

    I Went here for brunch first time. But have been there a couple of more times now. One of the best vegan restaurants. Have become a go to place. There ceviche and biscuit are awesome and personnel favorite. Blueberry mint lemonade is one of my fav drink. The staff is super friendly and explains everything in detail. A must try!

    Seabirds is one of the best restaurants in OC, vegan or otherwise. On this particular trip, I took two close friends (neither of whom are vegan), and they were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the food. The atmosphere/comfort of the restaurant leaves a little to be desired, but I’ve eaten ~10 different things on the menu and they were ALL 5-star quality. I can’t recommend Seabirds enough.

    First time trying vegan food and it was absolutely amazing. I loved the enchilada sauce they made. The Brussels sprouts were delicious and the soup was great too! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 Linda B. 5 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    This is a vegan restaurant but a marvelous place for even non- vegetarians. The food is unique and so tasty; it’s fun to eat here, besides being so healthy!! The decor is very pleasant. It’s not very large but there was no trouble seating our group of six at around 6 pm. And there’s a lovely as well as toasty warm outdoor seating area.

    This place has amazing vegan food!! My girlfriend and I always stop by whenever we are in the area. The nachos and tacos are our personal favorites! The location is also perfect because right after you finish eating you can explore the little shops around and digest a bit. The staff is also very nice and who doesn’t love that? Highly recommend!

    Phenomenal cuisine! My family and I aren’t vegan, however we enjoy great tasting food. This is the place!!!! Their enchiladas, amazing! Their nachos, exquisite! Ceviche, the bomb! Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!

  • 5/5 Rakesh K. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to dinner with a friend. Service is super friendly. Food is delicious. Tried a dessert.. that was also good. Price is pretty reasonable. Menu is limited. Outdoor seating is great. It can get chilly little late into evening. Definitely recommend.

    Parking is a bit hectic here, the plaza is cute. Service is great, everyone we encountered was warm and friendly. Jasmine green tea was refreshing, the blueberry mint lemonade was way too sweet even when diluted with tea and water. The purple taquitos and beer battered avocado taco were yum; creamy tomato soup was strong in the butternut squash and coconut milk flavors; mushroom taco was salty; corn tortillas were flavorful and aromatic with a perfectly chewy consistency. Would come back to try the grilled cheese, desserts, and some of their daily specials.

  • 5/5 Pradyumna D. 2 years ago on Google
    Anything you order here is of top quality and the best taste. ✌🏻 Beer battered Avocado Tacos and Purple Taquitos are my go-to items on the menu.

  • 4/5 Kelly C. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. Tables seemed to be open but were told it was a 25 minute wait. It wasn't a problem because it gave us a chance to check out the cute little shops and time went by quick. We got a text when our table was ready and we're seated quickly when we checked in. We sat outside under some umbrellas. We ordered the eggs florentine, the Mac and cheese, the enchiladas, and the beer battered tacos.We aren't vegetarian and all the dishes and veggie but they were all good in their own way. The drinks were also tastey, we got the yuzu Sparkling, the mimosa, and blueberry lemonade.. we liked the blueberry lemonade best. The mimosa pour was pretty small we initial thought it was just the OJ and were waiting for the champagne but later realized it was already included. Other than that it's a fun little spot serving up some delicious vegetarian plates.

  • 5/5 Shane S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice outdoor patio space with a decent amount of shade. Scattered tables throughout the landscape gave a nice vibe. The brunch tacos were absolutely fantastic. Probably the best breakfast tacos I’ve had despite me typically enjoying non-vegan breakfast foods. The mint blueberry lemonade mimosa was also fantastic. Also nice location in the anti-mall so there’s plenty to explore in walking distance. Will definitely be back.

    I've loved this place since it was a food truck! The menu changes often to keep things interesting and seasonal. Whenever I take someone here who's a first-timer I insist on ordering them all three tacos. Other favorites have been the bibimbap bowl, the grilled cheese, the chaffle and the "Beets Me" burger.

    The variety on the menu is nice. The service was great. And the taste of the items were amazing. My non vegan friends were super impressed.
