We were looking for some vegetarian restaurants in Irvine and came to The Wheel of Life. I’m so glad to have found this place. Our whole family loved it – we had fresh rolls, pad see ew, green curry and had sesame rice balls for dessert. The portion size was good and the price was reasonable. We’ll definitely come back!!

This place is amazing. I had the BBQ beef, and orange chicken. The beef looked and tasted so real. It was perfectly cooked. The orange chicken was delicious. It had the right amount of orange sauce. It wasn’t overly sweet like most places. They also have a lunch special where you order from the steam table. A nice thing is there’s pictures of every menu item. Service was also very good. I’ll definitely be back.

My family and I only visit this place once a year, and we leave smiling and satisfied every time. The food is so savory (for it being vegetarian) and the deserts are amazing as well. The people who work there are hospital and welcoming. 10/10 Can’t wait till next year!

This place has nothing to do with Thai food, no Thai flavors that we all know and love. Pad Thai has a red, tomato based sauce, too much tofu in every meal, and they are so cheap on actual veggies in a vegan restaurant. Veggie Tom Kah soup comes with a tone of tofu and cabbage only, no other veggies. I actually returned my Pad Thai how bad and spicy it was, and I never return food.

Never been here before, we ordered through doordash, and unfortunately, the “proteins” are labeled using real names such as chicken and shrimp, but lo and behold, they are all tofu, no where it says imitation, the word used is veggie…

A great little vegan friendly restaurant with lots of tasty colorful options. Big fan of the spicy tofu, noodles and vegan curries! They also have really good customer service.

The pictures in the menu look nothing like what the actual plates are. It’s also very evident that a lot of things are prepared from frozen stuff and not fresh produce. The staff pretends not to speak english correctly to get away with it.

Been here a few times, and the last couple of have been good. As vegetarians, it’s not always easy finding Chinese vegetarian restaurants in South OC. There are plenty of Vietnamese vegan restaurants, but Chinese ones are rare. So it was nice to find this place where the food and service were both good. The menu may need some updating, but I doesn’t bother me cause the food makes up for it. My favorite dish is the orange chicken and egg plant, although the curry is a close third.
