Mitasie Vegan Cafe — Restaurant in Lake Forest

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...

I’ve been a regular at this place for years now. Let’s be cheesy and call it at first bite. It definitely deserves my 5 stars. I’m a woman of habits and 9 out of 10 times when I go there, I order the same thing—Thai soup special. I’m not a vegetarian but that’s just my absolute favorite. The other 1 time I’d be ordering curry glass noodles, or both. I rarely order others, not because the other dishes are not good, but because the thought of giving up my favorite dish is unbearable. I always ask my husband to try different things on the menu and I’d get an extra bite too. Among the others on the menu, Eden burger really stood out and was something I specifically craved when I was pregnant. Their curry dishes are also amazing and I just can’t say how much I love them—the only reason that’s not something I usually order is the portion is on the small side. I can’t get enough of it with one order like I do with my favs. Garlic noodle mentioned by a lot of people is not what I like to order though. Anyways, I also recommended this place to my colleagues. Their phone number is on my...

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...
