The 23 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"Seabirds Kitchen in Long Beach — or the original Costa Mesa outpost — produces fresh and hearty dishes like purple potato taquitos, grilled mushroom tacos, and a Korean-inspired jackfruit bibimbap bowl. It’s all served in Seabirds’ beachy dining room, which is less than a mile away from the ocean." - Virali_Dave, Eater Staff

Seabirds Kitchen - Review - Long Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Seabirds started out as a food truck back in 2010, and now the vegan spot has two brick-and-mortar restaurants and a third opening soon. If Anthropologie opened a restaurant, if would look a lot like their airy Long Beach location: filled with bright pastel walls, hanging plants, and tableware you actually want to look at and touch. And instead of shopping for summer dresses, you can eat things like al pastor-style jackfruit tacos, housemade burger patties served on vegan brioche buns, and creamy butternut squash enchiladas. It’s the kind of casual, sit-down vegan spot that makes delicious food highlighting vegetables rather than just swapping in meat substitutes." - Nikko Duren

Everything here was chef’s kiss! My visit was in person and I ordered the Beets Me Burger! The Beets Me burger was so delicious and I loved the fact that it was made from mushrooms and beets. The flavor was amazing and the brioche bun was nicely toasted. I ordered the Biscuit Bomb and through UberEats and it is The Bomb! The biscuit was nice and soft and all of the flavors paired well together. The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup did not disappoint! I will definitely be back for another visit whenever I’m in this area!

When we entered, we were immediately greeted and seated at a table. Once we got our menus, the waitress we had let us take our time going over their menu, and we ordered everything at once. Although it wasn't very crowded, our food took a while because everything is made on site, but you just can't rush greatness. The food was cooked perfectly, and I'm gonna be honest, I thought I was eating meat. I would completely recommend the All Day Breakfast Burrito and the Butternut Enchiladas. 10/10, would come back here again!

This is a vegetarian restaurant. I’m not a vegetarian and I did not want to come here, but so glad we did. Everyone loved their food. I’ve never heard of 90% of their menu items, so I tried the Beer Battered Avocado Taco and the Grilled Mushroom Taco. I should have gotten two more of each. My friends said the BBQ Burger was also good. So if you’re not a vegetarian, or are, and you’re hungry, COME EAT HERE!! Great staff, clean establishment and great experience. Highly recommended!!! 5++ Drinks here are great also!!

I love seabirds! It’s my FAVORITE restaurant 🥹 My husband & I love coming here because although I’m vegan, he’s not but he loves seabirds just as much as I do! We always get the nachos and a burger 😂🫶🏼 For birthdays, graduations, life events & date nights this has been our spot. I’ll be so so so sad to see this location close & I wish we could say or do something to keep you guys in LB! ❤️

This place has great food, friendly staff and the atmosphere is amazing! My husband tried a hamburger and he said the portion is huge. For me tacos and I really enjoyed. Also the blueberry lemonade is delicious. My daughter got to go bibimbap and she loved it. Definitely I will come back.

Playmeite’s back! This time went to one of my go to spots in Long Beach. Plates are fairly priced for vegan food, and a good vibe. There’s outdoor and indoor seating as well. Staff is also super happy and great 😌. I appreciate that to top off some great food. I had some chickpea masala soup, purple potato taquito, and a mushroom taco. They also serve bowls if you don’t want anything fried. And types of salads. Or burgers etc. but in general just a nice little variety! Check out my video and photos. ☺️😇 Tasty, flavorful. There’s unique bomb vegan desserts but I didn’t get any tonight. My friend did a vegan grilled cheese with tomato soup. She loved it! Street parking. I appreciated getting lucky near the front. But def can be a slight mission with all other businesses around. Until soon my beautiful friends.

Seabirds is a gorgeous vegan restaurant. The staff and food are always incredible and the atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful and calming. I would strongly recommend checking this place out if you’ve never been, are visiting the area, or just looking for something new. I bring lots of non-vegan friends here and they love it. I have yet to try something off of the menu I don’t like and they have lots of shareable food for the table. A great place for meeting up with friends or a special occasion. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating with a clean bathroom. Parking can be a bit tricky, but you’ll be fine if you don’t mind a short walk.

Embarking on our dining experience at Seabirds Kitchen, my dining partner and I were immediately embraced by a warm atmosphere and attentive staff. This gem of a restaurant is a testament to the rich diversity of plant-based cuisine. Before we delved into our meal, I started with a kimchi juice shot, a zesty appetizer that invigorated the senses and prepared my palate for the flavors to come. Our entrees were a parade of creativity and flavor. The grilled mushroom tacos were a delight, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Their earthy flavors paired well with the vibrant garnishes. The kimchi tacos were an adventurous fusion of Korean and Mexican flavors that excited the palate. The beet burger was a standout, a satisfying and hearty dish that showed off the innovative possibilities of vegan dining. To top off the evening, we indulged in a Chaffle, a waffle-like dessert that was the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, a delightful end to a wonderful Seabirds Kitchen provided us with a memorable dining experience. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just a food lover, it's a culinary adventure that shouldn't be missed.

Once again this location provided an excellent meal. We've never been disappointed at Seabirds & always enjoy our time here. This trip was no exception. A very friendly staff all around especially our waiter. Great vibe as always, hard to believe it's been 7yrs already! Sad to learn this location will soon be closing. The city of Long Beach is losing an asset & in my humble opinion it's a real loss to the community. Thanks again Seabirds!

Decided to check this place out on a Sunday afternoon. Just note that parking does not exist. Hi circled for 15 minutes before finding something. Very annoying but not the restaurant's problem. We were served by Andrea, she was very slow. Everything took a long time. And I'm talking about non kitchen items like a place setting, a glass of water and extra napkins. Even getting boxes took a very long time. All of the food was very good. We had the brussel sprouts, taquitos, fe

Lost count of the times I've been here so obviously they must be doing something right. Dine in or take out seabirds hits the spot always. They have a rewards program with a check in system which is awesome for free food after so many visits The matcha latte is fire. As is the chaffle dessert. The beets me burger, enchiladas, purple taquitos, and the bimibap bowl are my faves. Staff is friendly and it's a nice cute dining setup for date nights. Quick service and quality eating for sure.

Parking: Street parking available Ambience: Good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating, nicely decorated with lots of artwork and plants :) Service: Friendly, no complaints! Taste: I don't often go to vegan restaurants, so perhaps my standards are a bit different and I had set my expectations too high given all the amazing reviews, but I thought the food was good but not necessarily phenomenal. We got the purple potato taquitos, which was actually great! The zippy fries tasted a bit weird, not sure how to describe it, perhaps it's an acquired taste as I've never had cheesy zippy sauce before. And lastly, we got the all day breakfast burrito, which was decent. Overall, seems like a decent vegan spot, but not sure it's as amazing as all the reviews appear to deem it. Would still recommend though :)

Top notch food, service and atmosphere! Kenny and Cindy were my lovely servers and BOY-O-BOY, did they pull out the red carpet for me! My second time visiting Seabirds. I am lover of all things LBC, so I'm shocked I have yet to experience this spot. The restaurant is vegan with lots of great "meatless-meat" options like a the New York Times award winning Beet Burger I will have to come back for this! Today I enjoyed a black kale salad with a blueberry lemonade mimosa. Perfecto Kenny even added the flamingo to make my mimosa official for the summer! This was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy myself after yoga on the bluff. I'll be back, Seabirds! Thank you!

Update as of 8/16: Seabird's phone is still not working, so we drove to the restaurant to ask for a refund. The woman there said she closed up yesterday and the food was there but no driver ever picked it up. Okay...why didn't anyone call us to let us know?? I'm perplexed lol. In any event, they refunded us, but it took us chasing after the restaurant to do it. I was just trying to order here for the last time before they closed, so it's a shame this is the last impression Seabirds will leave on us. Byeeeee. ________________________________________________ Something is wrong with their delivery system, so I'd highly recommend NOT ordering through the website if you are hoping to get food delivered. I'm a bit jaded and peeved (and hungry since no food was ever delivered to us), and I feel compelled to warn all of you! Lol. Tried ordering through the website tonight 8/15, received an email that the order was processed and food would be delivered within 40 minutes. An hour passed and we grew a bit concerned. My husband calls the restaurant and the host appeared overwhelmed and also completely dismissive. When my husband tried to confirm whether the order was picked up, the host asked for his name and said "well nothing is here so it must be picked up is there anything else I can help you with okay bye." Notice the lack of punctuations, as the person said that all in one sentence and hung up on him. Since the ordering is through the website, there isn't any sort of tracking. We noticed a door dash drive order number in the email and tried calling door dash, however they didn't have that number in the system so there was no order. I've been trying to contact Seabirds for the past 30 minutes after all of these attempts and the line goes straight to voicemail. If anyone reads this, I just want a refund, please :(

Honestly, the food was just okay. I am an avid soup lover and the soup just didn't do it for me. It had an interesting sourness that I wasn't a fan of, which was disappointing because I love corn chowder. For a $9 soup, I think there are better elsewhere. The biscuit was a disappointment. It came lukewarm, and it just wasn't comparable to the other savory biscuits I've had in my life. The enchilada sauce was not enchilada-ing for me. For me personally, I'm used to more traditional enchilada flavors, so the lightness and airiness of the sauce didn't really capture the essence of chile verde. If you're a fan of sweeter flavors, this dish might be for you. The mushrooms and butternut squash filling was quite pleasant. The service was lackluster. It just wasn't really there (server was pretty absent) but they weren't rude or anything like that. Some people prefer this kind of service, some people prefer more attentiveness. The food is not for me personally, but props to Seabirds for serving decent vegan food. It wasn't bad by any means, it was just average.

Alright, starting was the parking. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday afternoon and street parking was easy. That is always a good thing in Long Beach! I was greeted upon arrival. Only one other group when I arrived and there was plenty of seating available. I ordered a spicy margarita and made my way to the bathroom to wash my hands. Bathrooms were clean and had stocked. I made my way back to the table and my drink was ready. Oooohhh weeeee! That is spicy! The tajin on the rim was a bit smokey flavored. The cilantro was an extremely nice touch! I ordered the BBQ Burger. Essentially, beet burger with a "regular burger" feel to it. It came promptly. A whole lot smaller than I expected. The fries too. Inflation and the demand for higher wages are driving food prices to the extreme here in Cali! Back to my burger... it was good. It didn't beat the black bean burger at EJ Malloy's in Bixby Knolls but it was alright. It kept falling apart as I ate it. I found myself grabbing a fork and finishing it. The fries were crisp which is always a BIG deal for me. The service... they were nice. Very nice. Just didn't feel a presence. I like mayo with my fries and didn't catch it when the plate was delivered. Nobody came back around until the bill was due. I kind of expected a bit more. There were only 3 group: a family of 4 people, a group of 3 friends and me. Seems what you can't make in food, you make in tips. Would I come back? Yes. The service wasn't so bad. The food was good. Ambiance was nice and laid back.

I thought the style and look of the restaurant was very nice, there was enough seating and the wood tables were very nice looking and clean. I noticed the staff wiping down the tables thoroughly. The bathroom was also very clean and I liked the dim lighting in it as well. I loved the live plants all around the restaurant. We were greeted by staff as soon as we walked in, and were seated right away. The staff was friendly and tentative the entire time. As a party of four, we spent around $120 before tipping, which I felt was reasonable for the typical vegan restaurant in this area. I had the BBQ Burger, and two other people in my party had the Beets Me Burger, and we all felt the patty was a bit softer than we preferred. However, the flavor was good. The burgers were presented well, and the fries were crispy and delicious! I wish I had a little more fries on the plate. One person in our party had two types of tacos, one with kimchi in it, and the fried avocado one (I don't remember the exact names). The tacos looked amazing, and the person in my party let me know that they tasted very fresh, had good texture, and the size was perfect too. The avocado one tasted a little unseasoned once bitten into, but the batter on it was really innovative and made up for it mostly. The blueberry lemonade was also well-liked, as well as the in-house coffee.

The food was delicious. Ordered the Bim Bim bop bowl, a Korean taco. Boyfriend ordered a mac & cheese, and a beer battered taco. We both had iced teas and the chocolate mousse. Second time there. I like the ambience of this place. Very informal café. The only reason I'm giving it a four is because the service wasn't that great. I felt from the minute. I ordered that I didn't have her full attention. They didn't offer extra napkins, iced tea refills, or clean up the table after we were done. I had a paper bag with my leftovers and boyfriend cleaned up the wet table. I asked for ice tea refills twice and for her to clear the table. I've been told that this location is closing. Perhaps that's why? ‍

Another vegan spot! This spot is perfect for your vegan friends & family or if you're trying something new! Their Grilled Mushroom Taco 10/10: must try!! Beautifully cooked & seasoned They have a great selection of food & things to try. I'm always looking for other places that cater to vegan/vegetarian & this place hits it on the nail! The service was fast & attentive. The workers knew their food & were insightful in what to order The ambiance is friendly & trendy Small to medium party friendly.

After getting a personal message from my last review from the manager I wanted to come back and give them another shot because honestly they have the best vegan food in the area. Called in an order for pick up and it was ready within 15 mins. The staff was super attentive and quick, which I really appreciated because I was hungry! Food was great and even presented beautifully in the Togo boxes. No complaints and looking forward to coming back for dine in.

I don't know the landscape of Long Beach very well. But coming from Venice Beach, it's a midpoint to meet an old friend on my HBD. I had reviewed the menu at seabirds prior to arrival. I ordered the butter squash enchiladas and the passion fruit jasmine iced tea. Both were delicious and exactly what a vegetarian girl would hope for. I took the leftovers home and shared them with my doggo, bc why not. The service, the menu, and the ambiance on the interior were cozy and excellent. My only reservation was the neighborhood: it's difficult to find parking and there were homeless encampments in close proximity. Made me a lil nervous bc mental illness is a thing. I'll def def return here again when in Long Beach. A cozy lil hideaway, with delicious food, and perfect customer service to match. Thank you for your kindness.

Seabirds is a cute vegan place with some really good options for adults - not so sure about the kiddos...but that's okay! The kids still had a nice meal and a good time. The service was good! Our server was attentive to our needs and explained everything on the menu. She was really patient with our nephews which I appreciated. BBQ Burger ($20) - A house-made patty, melted cheese, fried pickled onions, bbq sauce, dill pickles, shredded lettuce, and herb mayo on a brioche bun. Served with fries or house salad. This was amazingly delicious. Each bite was creamy, flavorful, not too salty, just a really good burger. We split it and it was just enough to fill up both of the adults. The fries were pretty good too, so it was a huge win for us. I don't have a kids menu picture, but my nephew got their bean, guac, and brown rice bowl which was literally a bowl of what I described. My other nephew didn't like anything on the kids menu so we got him the Beer Battered Avocados. I don't think he really liked them because he didn't wolf them down. He was hungry enough to eat one of them though and shared the other with his brother. There's parking out in front on a public street and I think they are in a residential area, so there's plenty of parking around the place. Inside they have plenty of tables.

About a month ago (3/17) I tried this restaurant out for the first time with one of my best friends who is vegan. He had checked it out before, and I was curious to try something new. We stopped in during brunch hours on a Sunday and were sat almost immediately. He ordered the breakfast sandwich and I opted for the Chipotle Florentine. It was no eggs benedict, and I thought I would miss the runny yolk component... but oh my word I would definitely come back for it again! The flavors and textures all combined perfectly. The chipotle hollandaise had a nice kick to it which balanced nicely with the avo mash. Even the salad it came with was fantastic! The tanginess of the dressing complimented the rich flavors of the hollandaise. For drinks, I ordered their iced coffee with a vegan vanilla creamer (forgot if it was soy or oat based or something else) but it was good. My friend ordered the yellow shrubmarine and also the kombucha mimosa. Both drinks were great and refreshing. I will need to go back when I'm in the drinking mood. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe. I liked all the plants outside and inside. Music was a nice volume too with some cool beats playing. The artwork in the bathroom is the cutest!! Also, all the staff were friendly and helpful in recommending or describing their brunch options. I recently ordered lunch to-go from here earlier this week (on 4/9), so here's my review from that perspective. Delicious! Their Korean jackfruit bibimbap caught my eye, and I knew I just had to try it because I had originally been looking to get a bulgogi bowl. I immediately added to my cart (UberEats) and was suggested to add the battered avocado taco. I recalled my friend saying that he had liked their tacos, and seeing that it was taco Tuesday I decided to order it along with the mushroom taco. It was lunch for two days with focus on the tacos for Tuesday :) First of all, let me say that each item was boxed separately. The tacos held up nicely on the ride back to the office and the tortilla did not tear AT ALL while eating either of the tacos. I started with the battered avocado taco and OMG I almost melted on the spot with how great it was. One bite and I was hooked (sorry Hole Mole). I think I enjoyed it better than any Ensenada style fish taco I've had. I find it extremely pleasurable when there are several textures and layers to food, and this one checked all the boxes. Damn, I can't wait to have that again. The mushroom taco was also great... if it wasn't for the mushroom texture, I would have thought it was an asada taco. It was seasoned so, so well. Bravo! Finally for the bibimbap bowl, it did NOT disappoint. There was a lot of yummy ingredients with the base of it consisting of brown rice and steamed kale which made it filling in a healthy and light way. This was my first time having jackfruit (FINALLY) and the texture of it reminded me of perfectly cooked carnitas/chicharron. I did find the combination of the kimchi and the gochujang sauce together to have more kick that I would prefer, but I can probably remedy that in the future by asking for the G sauce on the side. Or not. I tolerated it quite well. The crushed peanuts added a nice crunch component and the aji yolk crema tied the flavors all together. I would definitely eat this again. Yeah... I'm obsessed now. tl;dr I'm not a vegan, and I will never be a vegan unless my doctor highly recommended it, but this is a favorite for me! Check it out. Open up your mind and wake up your taste buds ;)

An adorable contemporary aesthetic with friendly staff and great tasting vegan food! Really love the vibe; you can be dressed up or dressed down and still feel like you belong and are welcomed to dine in. We loved it so much, we ate here 2 days in a row. Day 1 for Sunday Brunch: 1. Ate the chilaquiles Rojas 2. Kimchi Tacos 3. Biscuit Bomb. I enjoyed the Chilaquiles the MOST! Day 2: I had the breakfast burrito, satisfying and all ingredients meshed well together + A cup of hot coffee with flavored soy milk on the side. If you're in Long Beach, vegan or not, stop by and give this place a try!

It's been eight years since I reviewed the Seabirds location in Costa Mesa, and honestly when I wrote that review, I may have already visited the Long Beach location, but I'm a little slow on the reviewing sometimes. I've only been to this location (Long Beach) a couple of times. The menu is identical, I believe, to the Costa Mesa location's; but this one has a very different feel. On my first visit, I brought my parents, who already loved Seabirds Costa Mesa. We came on a winter's night just before dark, and it rained while we ate but thankfully not while we were trekking to and from the car. It wasn't a hard rain, but something about the physical layout of this location made it feel like we were holed up in a cozy cabin on a particularly stormy night. It made the food that much better too. When I returned in broad daylight, it had a totally different feel. It was still very warm and modern-feeling, but it felt less inviting. The service was excellent both times I came. They do a good job of striking a balance between attentiveness and allowing you to enjoy your meal and your company. The big windows are gorgeous, and at night, they make you feel like you can see out but like you're not exposed, even though everyone outside can easily see inside, especially with all the white paint and how bright they keep the lights. The parking situation is pretty horrible. I think we had to park four full blocks away the first time we came, and maybe six blocks in a different direction on my return visit. Not that the parking is ideal in Costa Mesa, but it's better than this. The lack of easy parking might be what keeps my parents and me going to Orange County rather than Long Beach. It's a shame, though. I think we'll head here next time we're in the mood for delicious vegetarian food.

SERVICE - located off of the main road in Long Beach - street parking available nearby - indoor and outdoor seating - our server Kenny was very helpful with providing honest and enthusiastic recommendations - food served as it is prepared - ambiance good for a casual brunch or dinner MENU - variety of small and large plates with a focus on plants - all vegan, gluten free options marked - average price ($18 per entree) FOOD - purple taquitos (7/10): 3 crispy tortilla rolls filled with mashed purple potatoes and topped with chipotle almond sauce and pickled cabbage. We asked to get a 4th since we were sharing between 4 people. It makes a great appetizer as part of a larger meal. The potatoes on their own are not seasoned so most of the flavor comes from the chipotle sauce and cabbage. The sauce tasted similar to a store bought one which is smoky and spicy. - burnt brussels sprouts (7/10): roasted brussels sprouts tossed in mustard, cayenne, lime, and topped with fried garlic. This is a good dish to share as an appetizer or a side. Our server told us that this was the reason he started working at Seabirds. The brussels sprouts are perfectly roasted with a soft interior and crispy exterior. I recommend eating it as soon as it is served to limit the mustard making the dish soggy. - beets me burger (6/10): shiitake beet and chia patty topped with grilled onions, pickle, arugula, almond butter sauce sandwiched between a fluffy brioche bun and served with side of salad or fries. For veggie burgers, this was great. It had a smoky and sweet flavor from the patty, a caramelization from the onion, and a sharpness from the arugula. I was hoping for something more based on the menu description, which is why I felt like it was just okay. - butternut squash enchiladas (6/10): three enchiladas filled with squash, mushroom, and spinach covered in a spicy green sauce and almond feta with a side of black beans. This is a hearty and warming dish great for cold days when you want something cozy. The sauce was the highlight, as it was tangy and spicy yet not overpowering. - bibimbap bowl (10/10): brown rice, steamed kale, Korean flavored jackfruit, pickled cauliflower, fried kimchi, crushed peanuts, drizzled with gochujang and aji sauce. This was my favorite dish out of the ones we ordered. It had the ideal blend of both textures and flavors with the right amount of spice from the gochujang. I had not seen jackfruit cooked this way but think it worked well. This bowl is a hearty portion for one person but I would gladly finish the entire thing. WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! All of the dishes were fantastic and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming

One year later and STILL a great place to eat!!! Soooo good!!! Soooo satisfying!! Soooo.... GO!! Seabirds has some of the best Vegan food I've tasted... I'm not even vegan!!!! The grilled cheese sandwich tastes like an old school grilled cheese!! I'm talking a Velveta quality grilled cheese... it's THAT good!!! The spicy lintel soup is good and made fresh. Now.... The Zippy fries.... Better than nachos!! It's hard to believe the 'cheese' is from cashews!!! So creamy, smooth and 'cheesy'!!! Such a great place to eat, with a LOT of vegan options. I recommend Seabirds to anyone... everyone! You won't be disappointed!!! Time to bring your veganism out of the closet!!

I had dinner here with a friend from South Carolina who is not a vegan, and she loved it as much as I did! I had the kale salad and added tofu - it was perfect for a later than planned dinner. Then, as if I didn't have enough avocado, I ordered the chocolate mousse (made with avocado, too!) I was so enamored with my dessert - now to learn how to make it myself! The ambiance in the space was warm and inviting and we had a great experience here! The only challenging part of the meal was parking, as there is major construction on the main street!

I am very allergic to tomatoes. I explained this. I asked for NO TOMATOES in my wrap They made it with so many tomatoes it was a 50/50 ratio to filling and tomatoes I took a bite and immediately spit it out, rinsed my mouth, and took allergy meds The very unhelpful staff (a young blonde girl) laughed and said "oops" Cool. Oops. This place is closing. Good riddance

Delicious place at the beginning of 4th street my favorite would be the Chinese salad but I have tried most of their menu and everything is delicious, service is great, they are very attentive and helpful. If you have questions about the menu gladly they would help you The only off thing would be the parking situation but if you can walk or park farther away it would be good for you to appreciate everything around the neighborhood

I was very excited to try this place out and it was going well initially. Our first interaction with the waitress was spot on. The brussels sprouts appetizer came out hot and tasted great. Our drinks came out fast. Then the entrees came out and they were cold. Very cold. So cold that I felt the need to say something as soon as the waitress came to check on us...except she never came. And no one came out to the patio so I could even express my worry. And then I began to think maybe the food is cold because it's vegan? I kept trying it in disbelief thinking maybe it isn't actually THAT cold. It was my friend's birthday dinner so I was trying to be positive, but no...the nachos were cold, the tomato soup was cold like applesauce, and my friend opened her grilled cheese that I should've taken a picture of. Did not look like it had a chance to warm up inside. The waitress came outside to offer the dessert menu or our check 15 minutes later. There was no table touching in between. We were on the patio so I couldn't flag anyone down. If I didn't try to eat the food I would've complained, but I left feeling like I should have.

This place literally blew me away . Was trying to find some food around the area & this was the only place that looked pretty decent. I was actually very surprised when I found out that this place was all vegan. I was like egh okay . I'll give it a try. To my pleasant surprise , this place turned out a lot better than I expected. We started off with drinks . I'm a big Bloody Mary fan so I ordered the " Birdy Mary ". This also included fried pickles and an olive to nibble on. The drink was actually made perfectly . Loved all the seasonings , the spice also had a nice kick to it . 5/5 For the dishes we ordered the infamous Beet burger , potato taquitos and the burnt brussel sprouts. If this is your first time I suggest you order these 3 dishes and you'll be pleasantly surprised . I've had a ton of brussel sprouts and these would have to be my top 3 places . It was perfectly crisp and cooked thoroughly and had a nice seasoning . Couldn't stop eating these . The potato taquito was super crunchy and the sauce was superb! I really loved the curtido as well ! It brought a lot of brightness to the dish. The beet burger was actually super yummy ! The texture was almost like beef . I'm actually not vegan but that burger was so dang satisfying. Now I get it when people say it's actually not hard to be vegan . When you have amazing places like this that serves quality food , it's easy . Defintely loved dining at this vegan spot ! Makes me want to check out some more vegan places. A +

Flavor 4/5 - Both dishes we ordered were pretty yummy. Price 3.5/5 - The price is a bit on the high side, in my opinion. However, most restaurants in Long Beach are costly for some reason. Quality 5/5 - The produce is organic, and there are no animal products. Service 4/5 - Our server was kind & answered all my questions. She checked on us a few times & made us feel welcome. Ambiance: Family-friendly, casual, & comfortable.

Easy street parking, cute place with fun vegan/vegetarian menu. They were short staffed so service was super slow. Food was good and nice selection of drinks. Fun ambiance and the cute bathrooms. Overall decent visit but could have been better. Must try kimchi taco! And $5 lager special.

I've been there twice now. Avocado tacos and enchiladas are my favorite at the moment!! I really enjoy the iced matcha. Great flavor and made with love. Shout out to Kenny for his amazing presence! When a place has good food and service what more can you ask for!

This place is DELICIOUS! (honest opinion) I came here on a Wednesday around lunch time and found street parking pretty easily and was seated right away. It's not packed at all but I can imagine on weekends that it is. The taquitos... trust me you want to splurge for this. I have missed good taquitos the most since becoming vegetarian, but this place doesn't even make me miss the non-veg taquitos I had before. It's pretty amazing. The blueberry mint lemonade tastes so good and fresh, too. It isn't super sweet (definitely more tart from the lemon), but I like it. I also ordered the kimchi jackfruit taco (not pictured) without peanuts. It was just okay in my opinion. It is a lot of flavor, but I personally don't like the combination of them for this taco. My only regret is not having a big enough stomach to try more. All the more reason to come back!

Give it up for this place. Carnivores and plant-ivores rejoice. Plus alcohol is that's in your wheelhouse. Family friendly and intimate also. LOVE YOU SEABIRDS!!

My daughter brought me here for lunch. I read a little skeptical because I didn't have much experience with vegan food. The food was delicious and service was great.

4 stars just cuz it's a lil pricey. 5 stars for the food and ambiance. We sat outside (which has heaters btw) on a Saturday night around 6:15. If you're on a time table, come before 6 pm. It started to get busier around 6:20-6:30. Waiters were very kind and nailed our orders (including two requests for water without ice- nice!) I ordered the corn chowder and a kimchi taco. Soup was good but if I could do it over, I'd get the mushroom taco instead of the soup. The kimchi taco was so good wow. And I tried a bite of my friend's beet burger- I can see why it has won awards! So flavorful. I also got the ice cream with fudge sauce for dessert. The ice cream is strongly coconut flavored so if you don't like coconut, hold off. The fudge sauce was amazing. Wish I could've ordered just a bowl of that lol. FYI: parking can be a pain in the a**. Give yourself a lil extra time for this.

Delicious! Parking is atrocious but worth it for this wonderful vegan spot with many gluten free options. The pancakes were good and the blackberries were super fresh. We sat on the patio with our dog. They provided water for him. Service was quick and friendly. Not too busy on a Saturday at 11:30am.

Was looking for a vegan spot and found probably be coolest spots for vegan food in LA Long Beach!!! Everything here is vegan they do homemade kombucha which is to die for!!! Top notch customer service and flavorfull food added with cool vibes makes this a must stop... The beat Burger with cheese has to be one of the best items in the restaurant with the ceviche & mushroom tacos coming in at a close 2nd and 3rd... I will keep you posted as I try more on my next visit....

Went back today, been jonesing big time. So we sat right behind the pass and was able to see and chat with the Chefs. Great team and very friendly. Tried the mushroom taco this time as well as the awesome Zippy Fries. I'm telling you if you eat them you will never ever want to eat fries anywhere else!! Now the reason why I took a star off is I hope they see my issue. The Pass isn't taken care of very well. While we're there a short time stuff came back cuz it was cold. Guys there's no reason for that and I get that it gets busy sometimes but slow the food coming out and make sure the food made gets to the tables on time. It's too good to have to come back. Also the mixed cocktails are premade so not as good as a bar made cocktail. That being said I wish I didn't live 35 minutes away. Keep killing it guys!!! See you soon

I've been here two times, both times for pick-up so, I'm not sure how the experience is dining-in. It was a short encounter (bc food was just being picked up) but both times, the person at the front was not welcoming nor gracious. (By the way, these were two different people.) I was a bit hesitant to return back because lack of friendliness. BUT, I thought I would give this place another go because I liked the food. I'm glad I came back because if I hadn't, I would probably be thinking of those fries and the second time was a disappointment AND the person at the front was not the friendliest, again. Zippy Fries: The first time, I remember the fries being so memorable and flavorful. However, the second time, not so much. The fries gave me a stomachache. Maybe the sauce was on the verge of spoiling but it just didn't sit well. The Mushroom Taco did have great flavor and it was better than I expected... As for the Brussels Sprouts, I would pass.

Came here for dinner, was intrigued by the all-vegan menu. They have indoor seating and a small outdoor patio with seating. I found parking on one of the nearby side streets. The waitress said the purple taquitos were her favorite dish on the menu so I had to get it. I ordered those and the grilled mushroom taco. It was plenty of food for one person. I was a little concerned knowing the filling of the taquitos were sweet potato... so starch in a carb, so lots of carbs? I was worried it wouldn't taste balanced because of that. But they were actually surprisingly good and flavorful with the all the toppings and with the creamy (non dairy) sauce it's topped with. I recommend picking it up and eating it that way rather than the fork & knife method which ends up pushing the filling out. The mushroom taco was also pretty good but $5.50 for a single taco is pretty steep and it wasn't as flavorful as the taquitos were. Would probably pass on that next time. Staff were all super friendly. Great spot with creative plant-based dishes!

Gave them a couple more chances. Today 3rd time visiting after 2 years due to poor service and rude employees. Same thing as years ago. Fully staffed, 12 seats open with plates set out (no reserved signs anywhere), and just under 1 hour before close. So doubtful open seats were being held. Told we couldn't sit down inside and asked if we wanted to sit outside. It was nighttime and 59 degrees with a breeze. Not exactly outside weather. Got snarky "have a nice day", when communicating it was poor service to have 12 seats open and refuse to let us sit.

Seabirds kitchen has always been amazing. During Covid, being a vegan this is where I would always go. The servers, the food was always on point. The last 3 times I've gone or either got food delivered has been horrible. 1. I was dining in during lunch hours and the restaurant was relatively empty with a bunch of seats available. The waiter set me my wife and my business partner in the corner, but moved a table where two guest was sitting to accommodate us. Everyone looked confused, because so many seats were available. I apologized for the two gentlemen sitting next to us, because it felt awkward. Once we got our food, the waiter then told us somebody scheduled this seat for 1 pm and we have to accommodate their service dog. It made zero sense, not the reservation but why sit us here in the first place. When we barely got our food. Fine, whatever. The food was good, so no big deal. 2. Two weeks later I go on the website to place a pick up order but the confirmation to pay wasn't working. I then called to place my order but after two phone calls nobody answered the phone. Then when I go inside the restaurant ( this is during lunch hours again) the two people at the front are joking around and laughing not even greeting me when I come in. I told the host, the website isn't working and I called two times and nobody answered. He said he's going to tell his manager in the back and I said I would like to tell your manager myself then he told me, he's not here I'm going to text him. Like bro what? ‍‍ 3. A couple days later, i ordered food using Uber Eats instead of their actual website. Place the order, and when I get my food delivered my fries are completely burnt. I do not know if they went through a management shift but I have been going to this restaurant for over 6 years. Idk what has happened, but the front of the house has been very bad lately and now it is okay to send a customer overcooked fries. Hopefully they get their act together.

I came here with my work team a few years ago and really enjoyed it. But today was my wife's first time dining here. Our food came out pretty quick. Wifey complimented, the burger was the BEST non-meat burger she had ever had! It was filling too. And I'll add those Zippy fries were amazing. I really enjoyed the flavor pairings with the sauces and the mushrooms. Our waiter Damian was really funny too so that helped us settle in after the stress of trying to find parking. Also the ambiance is really good and they had a good playlist from early 90's to early 00's

There's just about nothing more thrilling, as a vegetarian than eating a restaurant where you can eat every single thing on the menu. No questions asked! That's one of the reasons we tried out Seabirds in Long Beach ahead of attending a nearby show one night. All the staff were super friendly and we were seated quickly on a Saturday night. We're short people and we were seated at a high-top table and I had nothing to put my feet on so they just sort of dangled there wantingly throughout the meal. I think we would have been more comfortable at one of their regular-sized tables but time was limited so we couldn't wait for one to be available. We had a few different things including the natural cut fries and Purple Taquitos (which were fantastic!) Plus "Burnt Brussels" which had a nice burned flavor to them but in terms of overall brussels texture were definitely overcooked for our tastes. My wife and I both started with bowls of Corn Chowder. This was a tasty and hearty soup on its own terms, but on the terms of wanting it to be "Corn Chowder" it missed the mark for us. It was completely pureed so we didn't get the kind of chunky texture with potatoes and corn that one would typically get out of a "chowder." Plus there wasn't that much of a corn flavor to it. It tasted good, again on its own terms, but it wasn't really corn chowder perse. Our fourteen year old who is notoriously picky and not so adventurous when it comes to food had a kimchi taco. He wanted to sub tofu for the jackfruit but the kitchen couldn't do it...BUT he ended up loving it as is so much that he ordered another. That's a win for him! We'd come back and try more as who doesn't love a place where everything can be eaten!

Really cute and clean restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating. The host was super kind and quick with refilling our water. I personally did not care for the stuffed shells and thought it was a small portion however the grilled cheese and tomato soup was absolutely delicious and I added grilled jalapeños to it which has now made it one of my favorite dishes. My bf got the burger and said it was really good however I didn't get a photo before he started to devour it definitely will come again and try a new entree.

All the dishes we ordered were excellent. I would only caution that there seems to be a lot of oil in some dishes. While the burger was fine, the tacos and brussels sprouts were super oily. The taquitos were delicious and perfectly crunchy and satisfying. The whiskey peach crumble was so decadent and had cherries in it as well, which was a lovely surprise. The service here was very efficient and fast. If I lived closer I would definitely come back again to try more dishes but I recommend to all vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the area looking for a quick and tasty bite full of plant-based yumminess!

Quality vegan eats : purple potato tacos with all their glorious little garnishes make me smile with my mouth full :). The corn chowder is creamier than expected but flavorful and not too corny. The trio of tacos (or three amigos as they're called) feature a taco with a base of their own - fried avocado, mushroom, kimchi. A little adventure on a plate. We loved them! Seabirds is an experience . Sidenote: the bathroom is dark, but don't worry, the light is on.

Seabirds felt super out of place for the location. Think very old housing, tattoo parlors & a dated McDonald's across the street. In contrast to this, the restaurant itself was that cute, trendy type of vegan restaurant. Street parking wasn't too terrible on a Saturday afternoon, but I can see it being somewhat difficult depending on the time of day. I ordered the locals bowl without picked veggies. It was a huge dish and packed with beans, rice, kale, cilantro, tortilla strips, chipotle sour cream (vegan), and salsa on the side. This bowl had a ton of flavor for how simple the ingredients were. I would definitely order it again. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos, which she really enjoyed, but said packed a little kick. I'd steer clear if you don't do spice. My other friend ordered the breakfast biscuit with cheese, which she also seemed to enjoy. The biscuit was some cheese rosemary flavor, which was unique.

We LOVED seabirds! All the food was incredible and our server was such a gem. We had the taquitos, the warm cauliflower salad, and the burger. The burger was INCREDIBLE. I never thought about almond butter on a sandwhich, but wow it was incredible. The warm cauli salad was equally fantastic. Will certainly be back!

Delicious with a relaxed vibe. We had the BBQ burger, the Tacos, the cheese fries, Mac & cheese and the whiskey peach cobbler. My favorite was the blueberry mint lemonade. The service was really good. Multiple people taking care of our table and checking in us.

Great food and excellent service! The perfect spot to meet up with friends when one is vegan and one is gluten-free.
