    The food here is so tasty. Even though I am not vegetarian, I still come here for the pho which is my favorite entree here. For lunch you get a free drink too. I like their Thai tea with soy milk.

    The food was amazing and more delicious than I imagined for vegan food. The crispy tofu, fried rice, pad Thai and garlic noodles were all yummy. I just wish they had a bathroom, but that's really the only thing that I could have asked for.

    Excellent vegan food in the middle of nowhere! How is it possible? Pho was very pho-like without any meat. The spring rolls were excellent, except for the peanut sauce that needs a little sprucing up. The burger was decent. The orange chicken was well... Orangy. The chicken was not real chicken, so the best description would be that it was well... Orangy. Anyways, the drinks were okay. The prices were okay, too. One thing for sure is that I feel healthy, thanks. And the world doesn't have to worry so much about greenhouse gases if more of these vegan places replace burger and other carnivorous joints. "EAT MOR VEGGIES"

    Great VEGAN Asian cuisine in Lake Forest. We stopped in for lunch and everyone in our party loved their food. I had the Vegan Pho with “chicken”. It was incredibly tasty and quite a large portion. And it came with a choice of drinks and I had Thai Iced Tea. Mitasie is not far from the freeway and is a great place to stop for a healthy and tasty meal while driving from Los Angeles to San Diego. We will be back!! 🍜 🌱 😋

    Our favorite vegan restaurant in OC. The tamarind pad Thai is incredible. The sushi is also a staple for me. The employees are incredibly friendly and helpful. Haven’t disliked anything I have ever ordered. Spectacular place!

    If you are vegetarian, vegan or simply trying to eat healthy, you can't go wrong with this place. Great food and desserts at a reasonable price. Even if you eat meat regularly, the food is so flavourful you'll forget you're in a vegan place. I had the vegan tiramisu cake for dessert and let me tell you, it was better than regular tiramisu. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. A+++++++

    This place rocks. I had the tofu clay pot and lunch special Kung Pao "chicken". I have these dishes many times at other veg spots. These were BOMB dot COM. the reason I say that is because there were very tasty and had distinct flavors and it all tasted very fresh. I have gone to other places where I feel like the food's been sitting there for a while and they just kind of tossed it together. This was so good I can't wait to come back on my next trip. Also guy in the front was pretty cool and explained that you order at the cashier you pay and then they bring you the food. For a dessert I decided to get an old school Thai coconut where they crack it open for you and give you a straw. That cost me seven bucks but it was worth it reminded me of the times I used to live in New York City and I would run a fun Gambit on a date to go pick up a coconut. Haha that thing works like a charm. But I digress in any event this is a place that is definitely up there in terms of food so you should come check it out

    High quality food, superb customer service. 5 stars maybe 6 if google allowed it =) My wife who is picky about her Pho, absolutely loved theirs. I had the garlic noodles and it was a generous portion and extremely tasty. Above taste, the ingredients were high quality and had a freshness about them. There were 5 other things I wanted to order. One of my new favorite vegan restaurants in Lake Forest and Irvine area

    i eat here frequently now.... found this place a few weeks ago... close by my work and the flavors of the food are great... my favorite is their spicy Pad Thai, egg rolls are delicious and things seem of good quality. i didnt care much for the iced coffee but might be too hard to mimic the condensed milk. awesome cafe though... one thing though is it can get hot in there as i dont think they use air co... at least not on the hot days that i went.

    I love Mitasie. It is one of my favorite local restaurants. My husband and I go here several times a month. The vegetarian options are all amazing. The food is always fresh and flavorful. The staff are always courteous and attentive. They even have a really wonderful rewards program for their customers. Support this small business, you won’t regret it.

    Mitasie is my favorite Vegan restaurant. We discovered it about a year after we moved to this coast, and since then we quickly became regulars (we eat here A LOT). Love that everything is vegan and we don't have to worry about cross contamination. Haven't tried the whole menu yet, but we like everything we've tried so far. Some of our all time favorites are: -Thai iced tea -Jasmine tea (this one is great if you don't want to drink something sweet) -Vietnamese coffee -Veggie egg roll -Sushi roll (I'm not much of a sushi gal, but this one won my heart/stomach) -Pho noodle soup is so delicious and rich in flavor, you wont regret trying this. (Highly recommend choosing the chicken as your protein) -Veggie wonton soup, this one is one of my favorite options whenever I'm craving soup, the wontons are so tasty! -Soy chicken Alfredo, I really missed this once I went vegan and I can't tell you how happy I was when I discovered this really hits the spot! -Eden burger, this was a nice surprise, it's a different take on burgers and I really appreciate the change of flavor compared to every other burger out there. -Kung-pao chicken, this one is my partner's to go meal. Never gets tired of it, it really is the all time favorite. -Mix Veggies with soy chicken and rice, Simple yet delicious, this one has been my personal favorite for quite a while! (if you haven't noticed their chicken is my favorite thing in the world, wish I knew how to cook it myself) Over all he food is super consistent flavor wise, and the price is great for the size of the plates, you wont leave hungry I swear! I honestly have nothing but good thing to say about Mitasie, the staff is great and supper friendly, they will make sure your food is good and ask if there is anything they can do to help. They are amazing so please be kind to them. If you want to order take out, I recommend using their website and picking the food yourself, this is cheaper than using doordash or the likes, and the money goes directly to them, no pesky extra fees. They recently expanded their lunch special from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, so if you are like me and often have really late lunch on the weekend, this is perfect for you! Please try Mitasie, you won't regret it!

    The food, the service, the atmosphere are all incredible, even if you’re not vegan! The wonton noodle soup I crave often, it is so delicious and satisfying. “The bomb” fries are so fire. And the egg rolls are the best I’ve ever had. Everyone who works here is so kind and friendly. Will be coming back, again and again. Thanks for being such a wonderful option to the vegan community in Lake Forest.

    My dish Was great (Salted Pepper “Cryspy” Tofu), our other dish (Mitasi Garlic Noodle) was so so. The Mango slushy was SO refreshing (especially since it was HOT inside & outside - no a/c!). The chocolate cake was amazing too. We will be back. Very nice staff too - very helpful.

    First time in the area, was here only to drop someone off for a concert. I always have a hard time finding vegan options where I live so this was a treat. Let me just start off with how helpful and patient the staff was. I let them know it was my first time there and they walked me through the menu and suggesting items they themselves enjoy. After helping me through the menu and giving me short explanations of what the items were, I ordered the "pork spring rolls" crunchy tofu, and Da Bomb fries. It was all delicious and well seasoned. Where I live it is hard to find good vegan food. It is usually very bland or overly salted. Every bite of the items here were excellent. I live far so unfortunately this will be the last time I will probably ever visit this restaurant. I highly suggest anyone close by to eat here. Vegan or otherwise. The food is amazing and the staff is top class. When I visited around 6pm on a Sunday the restaurant wasn't busy so very quiet and nice to relax.

    Nice vegan Asian food. Overall the food was pretty good but all of the dishes were overly sweet.

  • 5/5 Any M. 1 year ago on Google
    We're from out of town and we always make sure we stop at our favorite vegan food stop. Love the food here!

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Even if you're not vegetarian or vegan I highly recommend this place. The kids enjoyed the fried rice and BBQ spring roll. The food here is vegan, but the flavor is great. The service was good and the staff was nice. It wasn't a big place, but you could also sit outdoors.

    Love love LOVE this restaurant. The food is so delicious, and the service is always great. Me and my boyfriend come here all the time. Our favorites are Da Bomb fries, the buffalo wings, pho, orange chicken, and the fried rice. But really everything is great. We appreciate every vegan restaurant we go to, but Mitasie will always be one of our faves!

  • 5/5 Alexa P. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing vegan food! This is the perfect place to grab some takeout or even dine in and share some plates! The food is so fresh, and way better than most non-vegan versions of these dishes! Lovely service too!

  • 4/5 Alex D. 2 years ago on Google
    I eat vegan food twice per month and we used to drive all the way to Little Saigon for good vegan food. I am so glad I found this hidden gem near our house. They have pretty good Vietnamese vegan food here: bbq and egg roll vermicelli and soy shaken beef. We will be back to try other items

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious vegan options available. Even for those like myself who are not vegan. Very fresh ingredients too!

  • 5/5 Ilana B. 6 months ago on Google
    We love Mitasie cafe! This was our first visit and we plan to return and recommend it to our friends and family. Lots of options, friendly environment, friendly service. We ordered the wonton soup, vegan egg rolls, garlic noodles, and eggplant tofu hot pot with rice. Non-vegan boyfriend loved it too!

    I'm fortunate that i live in a neighborhood across the street because i love Mitasie. Yummy vegan Asian food with decent Thai tea and delicious vegan dessert too. Customer service is wonderful too, everyone on the staff I've encountered so far is really pleasant.
