VegiLicious is a small restaurant of husband & wife. Akira & Ana from Japan opened an organic vegan restaurant here in Huntington Beach, California in 2013 with a big dream that one day all the people in the world live happy & peacefully. We make great-tasting foods from scratch using ALL ORGANIC vegetables, fruits, rice, beans, nuts, seeds and spices WITHOUT white sugar, refined salt, MSG, GMOs, food additives, and oil (except for organic olive oil for pan-fried items) but with ORGANIC LOVE in order to make you & the planet healthy & happy.
In 2022, Ana caught fire from the heater on our patio while serving customers, and her entire legs suffered serious burn injuries. She had 3 skin graft surgeries and has been having laser surgery every other month. Her entire legs still have large areas of dark stiff burn scars, and she experiences significant discomfort due to the stiffness of her skin and limited mobility in her legs. We were temporarily closed for nearly a year and recently reopened for takeout. Ana & Akira still need to spend many hours every day for her rehab, care and treatment in order to make her stiff dark skin softer and lighter, and to reduce the discomfort, as much as possible. Therefore, for the time being, we can do only takeout orders, which we still, of course, make with LOVE, for short hours. You are more than welcome to have the food you have purchased from us on the patio or at one of the tables inside.
Your kind understanding and warm support would be highly appreciated.

Livestock such as cows, pigs and chickens are raised in a very small unhygienic barn and forced to eat grains and meat-and-bone-meal, which are neither suitable for their own eating habits. Slaughtering is even worse. Animals are not killed instantly without any pain. You can find some videos showing it on YouTube.
You will be so sad when you see how cruel it is. When you eat more and more VegiLicious’ food, more and more animals will actually be saved.
There are so many people starving in the world. People in the wealthy countries, on the other hand, consume so much meat. As a matter of fact, the average 8 pounds of grain such as corn, soy and barley need to be fed in order to produce 1 pound of meat, which means you indirectly consume 8 pounds of edible grain whenever you eat a pound of meat.
When you eat VegiLicious' meal instead of a regular meal, you automatically create enough grains for 3 people to survive for a day.
Eat VegiLicious and Make Yourself & Everyone Happy!
Simply enjoy VegiLicious' food, and you can automatically make yourself & everyone happy.
How and Why?
'Food tastes' generally consist of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness, spiciness, and umami. Each of our food items is made with perfect balance of these six elements by expert chefs. All the vegetables, fruits, rice, beans, nuts & seeds we use are organic, all the seasonings we use are premium-grade, and all VegiLicious’ foods are made with so much love. You will surely feel your soul becoming happier and happier while having VegiLicious food.
Typical Western style meals containing animal originated foods are high in saturated fat & cholesterol and enormously raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer.In contrast,plant foods contain little saturated fat and no cholesterol and significantly reduce the risk of not only those serious diseases but also lifestyle related disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
VegiLicious’ food ingredients are carefully selected for your better health and happiness and they are all FREE from meat, dairy, eggs, food additives, MSG, GMO products, trans fat, white sugar, refined salt and oil (except for organic olive oil for pan-fried items), which could all be the causes of diseases. Our food ingredients are almost all organic which means free from pesticide and chemical fertilizer too. Again, all VegiLicious’ foods are made with so much love.
The more you eat VegiLicious’ food, the healthier your body is, and the happier your mind is.
These days, most people eat too much meat, which is derived from livestock. As a matter of fact, livestock produce more greenhouse gas than the total of all the vehicles in the world and consume 20 times more water than farming. Livestock is actually the main cause of global warming and desertification. Decreasing meat consumption helps to stop these major problems.
When you eat VegiLicious' meal instead of a regular meal, you automatically reduce 3 tons of greenhouse gas and save 2 tons of water, which means you better the environment.

We have been here several times and each time we have tried something new. The warmth of the owners and the delicious healthy food is what makes this place special. The owners are a couple who work as the chef and server. The salads are very good especially the chefs green salad with the homemade dressing. The regular miso soup and miso ramen are both wonderful as well. I have perhaps had a better ramen, but I always feel good after eating this one. My kids (and me) love the crispy chick'n tenders. They might be the best vegan chicken nuggets I have had. The curries and Kobe BBQ plates are tasty as well. Their lemonades are another standout on the menu. Everything we have tried has been good, but more importantly we feel great after eating here. They mention it on their website, but the service is slow because everything is homemade and they run the restaurant themselves. Come with the expectations to slow down, receive incredibly friendly service and enjoy some great tasting healthy food.
