Thuyen Vien Vegetarian Cuisine - Review - Anaheim - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Anaheim is located just up the road from Westminster’s tremendous Little Saigon neighborhood, home to some of the best Vietnamesse restaurants in the country. And while we certainly endorse a separate trip to Westminster when you’re in town, you don’t have to go far in Anaheim to get good Vietnamese food, either. Case in point - Thuyen Vien. The casual, vegetarian spot serves meatless versions of classic Vietnamese dishes like bo luc lac (shaking beef), cha gio (fried spring rolls), and giant bowls of fragrant pho - and everything is excellent. That said, it’s the spicy, lemongrass-filled bun bo hue that remains our favorite thing on the menu, and exactly what you need to be eating when the thermometer falls to a brisk 65 degrees." - Brant Cox

Small is size but big in taste. Bun Hue Chay was very good. Everyone in our group enjoyed. The staff were very friendly, enthusiastic and fun.

They open 5 hours a day 3:30pm-8:30pm daily except Tuesday. Serving vegetarian Vietnamese cuisine. We got sweet and sour tamarind soup ($10.95) Fish clay pot ($10.95). You could also get egg plant or tofu. This comes out sizzling hot. Banana flower salad ($9.95) it’s the same banana flower used in bun Bo hue. This salad is refreshing with the fish sauce. As far as Vietnamese vegetarian dishes, I don’t find this place any different than the temple or any other Viet vegetarian restaurant in OC. But the service, freshness, quickness and prices were all outstanding.

As I’m sitting here, waiting for my delicious food to arrive at my table, I was just thinking that I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed one of my favorite places to eat. Not only does this place serve up amazing vegan Vietnamese food, but it is just all around an amazing Vietnamese food. My go to is usually the vermicelli rice bowl (massive) and/or pho and when we order food to go we usually order food for a couple of days because, really, the price also can’t be beat. Oh, another great staple is their fried rice. It’s a small place with a few tables inside and it seems like a family affair with maybe one in the front one in the back cooking. The service is quick and kind. Whatever they are doing I hope they keep doing it because I love coming here. The only downside is they are not open for lunch.

Thuyền Viên has been a meaningful part of my food journey, especially during my time as a vegan. Even though I’m no longer strictly plant-based, this place continues to hold a special place in my heart—and my stomach! The quality and care they put into their dishes has never wavered. Every meal I’ve had here has been packed with flavor and warmth, the kind that truly nourishes you. Whenever I’ve felt under the weather, their pho has been my go-to comfort—reviving me with every soothing, aromatic spoonful. And the hospitality here? Impeccable. The owner is always kind, welcoming, and genuinely respectful. You can tell this isn’t just a business—it’s a labor of love. I’m so grateful Thuyền Viên is still going strong. It’s a place that consistently delivers both delicious food and heartfelt service. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend trying the garlic “chicken,” the rich vegetable curry, and of course, the soul-soothing “beef” pho. These dishes are just a few of my personal favorites. Thank you to the Thuyền Viên team for creating such a warm and nourishing space. I absolutely love this place! Sincerely, Miss Solitude

Buddha feast is amazing ! Banana Flow tacos was good- give a try. Pho was fine as well. It’s totally vegan. So don’t have to worry about the broth.

Absolutely a gem. I live in Anaheim but didn't know this wonderful vegan restaurant existed. Great flavors using vegetables and spices, while not using red or green chillies. Highly recommended healthy + tasty food with no meat, fish or dairy.

If you're looking for Vegetarian Vietnamese food this is definitely a go to. We came on Lunar New Years with a party of 6 and everything was delicious. Pricing is very reasonable but I will say dishes are on the smaller side so that makes sense. These are the items I tried out. Egg Rolls - Delicious, would recommend as an appetizer. It's crispy. (4.5/5) Garlic Chicken - Got this recommendation via yelp and didn't disappoint. The fake chicken tasted great. Would recommend (5/5) Sweet and Sour Soup - It's a bit on the lighter side but it was okay. Not bad but not special either. (3.5/5) Thai Vegetable Curry - This one is honestly a pass. It's nothing special, but its not bad either. Pass on the Thai food at a Vietnamese place. (3/5) Clay Pot Sensation - LOVED THIS, everything stayed warm and we got this wish fish. Flavor was great and it was just delicious. (5/5) Crispy Fish - This was bomb, thought it didn't come like super hot, more like warm. Flavors were good and I enjoyed it overall. (4/5). Rice was $2 per bowl but overall we spent about $82 for 6 people which isn't bad. The service was good and super friendly. Everyone gave it a thumbs up so pretty solid spot if you need Vegetarian/Vegan food!

What a time was had at this small mom and pop shop. My family and I wanted a good Vegan spot that wasn't super oily and processed so we settled here after learning they had pretty good looking spring rolls (it's one of the only things my toddler wants to eat right now) and boy are we glad we came. Immediately walking in you feel like you're at home. Small, cozy setting, Vietnamese decor, a man and (maybe?) his wife are there to greet you. Right away we felt comfortable. Looking at the menu I honestly didn't realize it was all vegan by the names of the dishes but after I got confirmation I eyes opened wide. I ended up going with the vermacelli bowl which brought a smile to my face with every bite. The "fish" sauce wasn't too sour, salty or anything. Very balanced! That's hard to find. It had mint and other fresh veggies which brought out the freshness and even had slices of MANGO! That was a big surprise for me but they were more on the unripe side so the shreds had a bit of crunch as they left the skin on and not too much sweetness to throw off the flavor. I was not a fan of the eggroll it comes with as it's just too fried for my liking. Wonder if I can request a spring roll on the side instead? My wife got the royal noodle soup. The flavor was amazing, definitely had a little spice in there even though she asked for a 3/10 on the spicy scale so be mindful if you want mild you might just have to say 1 or 2! Portion sizes were all fantastic. Not too much, not too little. Even treated ourselves to the flan for dessert which made my wife's eyes roll to the back of her head it was so good. Besides the dessert our main course was ONLY $35!!!! That fed 2 adults and 2 toddlers! That was the cherry on top! On top of that he threw in a FREE BOWL OF CHOW MEIN for the babies! 10/10 would recommend this spot and we will be back.

Just mid. Cold Expensive. Would not go again. Pass I did takeout and was not impressed. And with the high cost of $70 or so for the food it was a big miss. I was hoping would be good as want a nearby vegan restaurant but this didn't cut it.

Came with a vegetarian person or else I would never have tried this place, but glad I did. Very affordable and has a home cooked feel to each dish. Close location to Garden Amphitheatre so we stopped for a quick bite here before the show. Vegetarian bun bo hue was surprisingly good, loaded with ingredients and noodles on point. It's not going to be exactly the same but I do understand what they were going for. Comes with "beef" seitan, tofu and thinly sliced king oyster mushrooms I was full to the brim from a regular size bowl of noodle soup and a couple egg rolls. Egg rolls were fired crisp and came with mint and lettuce to help balance out the fried heat, recommend side to go with you meal.

This place always hits the spot! Decent portions with great prices. The happy staff keeps the experience positive. Amazing menu. Oddly, they have the best vegan flan I've ever tasted! Not what you would expect at a Vietnamese restaurant.

Love this hole in the wall restaurant in Anaheim. I'm Vietnamese and with Little Saigon nearby in OC, you really have to be at the top of your game if you want to impress me. Thuyen vien manages to do that. Despite many Vietnamese people being Vegetarian or even Vegan, there actually aren't that many restaurants that cater to the non-meat customer. And when they do exist, it's sometimes quite hard for a restaurant to replicate the complex and intricate Vietnamese flavors (many derived from fish sauce) without using any meat or meat products. So that being said, my girlfriend and I have been to Thuyen Vien a couple times and we love everything about it. It's small and intimate and usually not too crowded. The food is phenomenal. We've had almost everything on the menu and it's all fantastic. The flavors are authentic and delicious. I like the Bun Bo Hue (Spicy "Beef" Noodle soup...not pho...but his cooler more robust older brother) while my girlfriend likes the Bo Luc Lac (Shaky "Beef"). We've also had the bo bia ("Beef" meatball spring rolls) and the fried tofu and they're both favorites of mine as well. The owner/cashier of the restaurant is super nice. I highly recommend you come here next time you're in Anaheim or in the mood for good Vegan food.

This is one of Anaheim's gems. Every single item I've tried here has blown me away as a non-vegan person. I almost always get the vegetable curry with eggplant, and the spice level can be adjusted to liking. This time I ordered the Kung pow chicken, but my go to is usually garlic chicken. I also always have to get that fried tofu, it is almost like a vegan Chicharron!! I usually ask for extra lemons and squeeze the lemons into the lemon pepper powder. That's given with the tofu. Service is great as well. The owner is incredibly friendly as well. Unless it's extremely busy, I usually don't wait too long for my food. The interior is like a typical cozy hole-in-the-wall. They're located in a plaza with parking in the front, the side and the back.

This would be my choice of a last meal, for lack of better words! The tofu, garlic "chicken", and rice here are insane!!! This "chicken" is better than any vegetarian chicken, heck, better than any real chicken I've ever had. The restaurant is small and unsuspicious of being home to the best meal. The owner is so sweet. The service is always top notch! Always clean and enjoyable to dine at! Most underrated spot!

Phenomenal, ecstatic that we stopped here for dinner. Small, clean thoughtfully decorated interior in an unassuming strip mall (tight parking!). Lovely and prompt service, not very busy on a Sunday night. The food. was. amazing. Shared the banana blossom salad, buddhas feast, and energy bowl. Just enough food to scrape the plates clean and be extremely satisfied. Everything was wonderful, but my favorite by far was the banana blossom "chicken" salad. Vietnamese coriander and full slices of fried garlic, along with tender brined banana blossoms.

Overall: 4/5 (dine in) This is a small hole in the wall Vietnamese vegan restaurant. The old man that works there was very nice and treated his customers like guests at his home. The food comes out pretty quickly as well. ĐẬU HỦ CHIÊN RAU RĂM / Fried, fluffy tofu puffs served with fresh tiger mint and peppery lime sauce ($9.95): This was fire! I never had tofu this texture before. It was lke a airy, pillowy puff with a thin crispy layer encasing it. I also loved the tiger mint with it. Highly recommend trying this! KHO TỘ / Clay Pot Sensations $10.95): We got soy fish which was an interesting texture but does not resemble fish to us; it was a bit too firm in the center. The clay pot came out quick but that unfortunately did not allow enough time for the sauce to caramelize. The sauce was tasty though and not overly salty. "GÀ" TỎI / Garlic "Chicken" ($9.95): This was pretty good but tasted more like a sweet & sour chicken. This was my husband's favorite.

How is it that some of the best vegetarian restaurants in Orange County are located in unassuming-looking (or worse) strip malls? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know not to judge a vegetarian restaurant anywhere by anything other than its delicious food--if it has delicious food--but don't worry; Thuyen Vien has bowls and plates and boats and dishes and ramekins of delicious vegetarian food. I came here with my parents on kind of a sad, rainy weekday. My apartment had burned down a few weeks before, and I had spent the day at the DMV renewing my license (with my parents' address because my address didn't exist anymore) and getting other important stuff done. Insurance, changes of address, discussing at length with my roommate the relative ease of getting public information like fire reports, death certificates, etc. You know, depressing stuff. So we drove all the way out, and at first, I was excited because Katella always reminds me of childhood for various and very important reasons. Well, we pulled into the wrong place, and it was a bear to get out, because someone had decided to back his RV out right after we passed, and he was blocking the only lane of traffic. I went through the parking lot only to find out that it was adjacent to but not connected to the Thuyen Vien parking lot. And when we finally got to the correct parking lot, our path was blocked by people double-parked in the middle of the driving lane. They were packing their car there rather than in the space they had just pulled out of. Why were all these campers about? We finally found the place, and when we entered, we were the only ones here. We sat, and I could tell by the reaction of the people working that the show was about to begin, and did it ever begin. The lady approached with a smile and a greeting and handed us our menus, while the man rushed to get us water plus a water pitcher for our table. (I drink a lot of water and often get the pitcher treatment after a while, but somehow, they knew I would be hydrating liberally.) My parents love going to vegetarian places with me but are always skittish about what to order, especially at East and Southeast Asian places that aren't Thai (they ALWAYS order pad see ew at Thai places). I suggested a couple of things, and they both enjoyed what they had. I really enjoyed the faux lamb. The service throughout our meal was very good. They checked on us, but they weren't hovering. By the time we left, it was raining again, but there were two or three other parties enjoying their dinners. The ambiance is the stereotypical Asian-vegetarian-restaurant-in-a-strip-mall-storefront ambiance. If you've been to one, you'll recognize this one. They have (little-kid) cute tile, and it does feel cozy on a cold night, despite the mainly white walls and even whiter ceiling and horrendous wannabe chandelier that's turned on way too bright. Like I already said, though, I don't hold a vegetarian place's would-be shabbiness of space against it, ever. I was a huge raving fan of Veggie Bistro (RIP) in Uptown Whittier, wasn't I? Bring your parents here, even if they're not vegetarian. I want to return to try more of the menu.

It's funny that I've been here many times, but have never eaten inside the restaurant nor have I ordered anything else other than the fried tofu appetizer. It simply is so stunning! The tofu is perfectly cooked because it is light and crispy. Combine that with the lime and the sauce and it spells a delicious snack. I haven't had tofu cooked this perfectly in a while, so this was just delicious. Sadly, I can't vouch for this restaurant for the rest of the dishes, but this alone is enough to stop by and enjoy!

I didn't know this place was vegan because I failed to read the menu properly. With that being said, I wasn't upset with falling upon this place. The service was quick and pleasant. It was very clean inside and the food was so delicious! We only got a couple appetizers, but it was the best thing we had eaten that whole weekend in Anaheim. Parking can be a little tight when busy, if that is something you want to know.

Wow I usually don't lean towards vegetarian options, but this place blew me away The pho still had umami without beef broth and was filled with the "beef" and tofu and each bite was full of flavor The small shop owners were so nice and the shop had a quaint feel with rustic windows and I'll definitely be back again if I'm at Disney

Vietnamese Vegan Restaurant!!!!!! The service is great. I called my order ahead over the phone, so that I could do a quick pickup. I was told that it would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived 10 minutes later and my food came out right away. It was fresh and hot. I was greeted right away by the owner. He was very friendly and respectful. He wrapped up my order with chopsticks, spoons, napkins, and lemon. All ready to go. I ordered the fried tofu, chow mein without veggies, and a Thai tea. The fried tofu was like eating clouds! It was so fun to eat lol And tasted really good. The tofu had minimal grease. The chow mein was thin noodles, similar to ramen. And the Thai tea was delicious!! It was creamy and had a slight sweetness to it. Very refreshing. All very good. I will be back!! :D

I've never tried vegan Vietnamese food, but after my experience here I'd come back in a heartbeat. We ordered the: "CÁ" CHIEN Crispy "Fish" with Lemongrass Soy Beef PHỞ Soy Chicken PHỞ The lemongrass sauce in the crispy "fish" aka tofu was addicting and went so well with the dish. The soy chicken pho had a substantial amount of ingredients with a side plate of garnishes (bean sprouts, mint, lemon), however the broth was a little too sweet, probably to make up for the lack of meat. Disclaimer: Drinks are served in disposables!

Fantastic food and quality. I can only hope more places emulate it. Thankfully, none of the "vegan religion" decorations of some nearby spots. Clean and casual. Service was also quick and attentive and easy to call on.

I was standing on the street waiting for a bus when I looked over and saw this place. I popped in and confirmed it was vegan and they made me something on the fly since my bus was coming; they were so nice. I ate when I got home and it was wonderful. I'm so happy I found this place. By fat the best brown rice I have ever had and the kung pao chicken was on another level. definitely can't wait to dine in as well. awesome little place with great atmosphere. very fairly priced proper portions.

This was my first time coming here and I enjoyed the food. My friend got the jamaica rolls and I got the Royal noodle soup. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan but I do enjoy non-animal product cuisine when done right. I thought this restaurant did a good job with their food. My soup was a tad bit salty but it was still good. I would like to come back to try the canh chua (sweet and sour soup), the mango salad, fried rice, and soy shrimp salad roll. I'm a meat-eater at heart but sometimes the vegan food hits the spot. I am excited to come back!

If you love really flavorful noodle soup, try this place out! I've tried quite a few of their items, but the ones that I keep going back to are the Royal Noodle Soup, the Duck Noodle Soup, and the flan. The Royal Noodle Soup is in-your-face with the flavors compared to Hoa Sen down the road. It is pretty spicy as well, even though I always request mild. It's served with plenty of veggies to add to your soup. This noodle soup is sooooo good! My second favorite is the Duck Noodle Soup. I love that it comes with a few goji berries floating in the soup. This is a detail that I haven't seen at Hoa Sen. I also love that this dish comes with plenty of veggies to add. As a vegan, I miss custard dearly. Their flan is a little less fatty than I would prefer, but it does scratch an itch. Remember to remove the ice if it is served that way, because the caramel sauce gets diluted! There is no ice in the takeout version. Disneyland does an amazing fatty creme brûlée. If you are looking for bold flavors, come here. If you are looking for something a little more homestyle and calm in the flavor department, go to Hoa Sen. You won't regret choosing either. Everything is vegan according to the nice man who takes orders and runs the cashier. He was also kind enough to give me a big cup of ice water for my drive home.

Wow!... I did not expect to have such amazing vegan Vietnamese food during my weekend at Disneyland. Hailing from the Bay Area, there are a lot of amazing vegan Viet restaurants that I've tried in the past few years. Very few have managed to wow or impress me like Thuyen Vien, and I have to say - you gotta come and try their food if you are curious about what vegan Viet food is all about. There were a couple of standout items that we don't see often at other vegan restaurants that we tried, and they were phenomenal: * Curried Seaweed ($9) - OMG, is this what vegan crab dip is supposed to taste like because it reminded me SO much of this dish when I used to eat seafood. The spicy, coconut curry goodness of the seaweed served with rice crackers was an absolute hit for us. * Banana Flower Chicken Salad ($8) - A refreshing, simple salad served with a sweet tamarind sauce that complimented our other dishes very well. * Fried Tofu ($7) - Okay... these were AMAZING. Fried tofu is not uncommon in vegan restaurants but these were fried, PUFFY tofu pieces with a tangy mint and lime sauce. Chef's kiss to this! We also ordered a fried rice and Bo Luc Lac to have with our meal. They were both solid mains, but it was really these appetizers that caught me off guard and really fired up my taste buds. Once you're open to trying food labeled 'vegan' (and I bet you eat a lot of vegan food already without realizing it), you come to find so many other kinds of foods that will reach inspire you to keep trying new things. Thanks Thuyen Vien for an incredible dinner.

One of the best restaurants in OC and LA county. 7 year vegan, and I've been to most vegan restaurants around OC & LA. This place is clean, delicious food, and A+ customer service. They are incredibly attentive, happy, helpful, and kind. Although the food is nutritious and light, the flavor is amazing, like really really amazing... 20/10 recommend. We love the pho with chicken and veggies, buddhas feast with chicken, garlic chicken, and the Thai tea were all phenomenal. Everything we have tried has been delicious. I really don't think you can go wrong.

My husband and I are dying over how good the food is here. I'm writing this review as we devour everything we ordered. If I could give more stars I would. Make sure to order the mango apple salad. Incredible. Loved the Buddha feast with chow mein and garlic chicken. And the jicama fresh rolls are yummy. If you haven't been here, you're missing a new level of deliciousness. My husband said this must be part of the path to enlightenment . And the service is the kind you get if you were to go to dinner at the home of a good friend. So welcoming. New favorite place.

This place is worthy of a Michelin star. It is the only restaurant we make sure to go to when we're in the area. Everything is vegetarian and the flavors are out of this world. Try the pho, royal noodle soup, and egg rolls.

Tried this place at a recommendation from a friend. It's pretty small and easy to miss in a tiny strip mall facing Euclid. The service was fine, polite older man. The place was simply but nicely decorated and very clean. I've never tried vegetarian Asian food before so I went with something I've tried at other places, the Vermicelli bowl. It comes with veggie egg roll, fried soy pork, noodles and salad. The fish oil they give you is good so I poured it on everything. It was surprisingly flavorful! The only negative is that there were only 5 small pieces of the "pork" and I feel at a carnivorous place you would get a better helping of actual pork. For that reason and because I haven't tried anything else, it's a 4 for me but I'll go back and try something else for sure.

Small mom & pop shop, with all vegetarian options. Fast service and yummy food! I love the Buddha's feast since it has lots of flavorful veggies and some soy protein. Get the coconut where they cut it open and you get to drink from the actual coconut for a cold and fresh drink!

A hidden gem. Excellent service, delicious food, and very clean establishment. This is authentic Vietnamese. We've tried a variety of items on the menu and everything has the same high quality flavor. The Thai Teas are out of this world. The Buddha's feast is so flavorful, Royal Noodle Soup is packed with flavor and heat. But our favorite is the lemon grass chicken. Soo rich with garlic and each bite makes the taste buds scream. Thank you Thuyen, we'll be back!

My friends and I came here for dinner on a Friday evening. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded, and we were seated right away. Food: Everything at Thuyen Vien is vegan. I ordered the pho, which I thought was delicious. I cannot tell the difference between this vegan pho broth and standard pho broth. My friends tried the pho as well as their bun bo, and they all enjoyed their meals. Service: Our server was friendly and attentive. After we ordered, our food came out pretty quickly. TL;DR - great vegan Vietnamese food

Fast, friendly, delicious. Best veggie pho in Orange County. I die for the garlic "chicken" (don't try it on a first date unless you pack a toothbrush #worthit?). A local gem and a staple for anyone living in or frequenting Anaheim. The interior is small and casual. Perfect for something easy, healthy, and fast. Thank you so much!! Easy (but small) parking lot. Family friendly. The location is not the fanciest but it's a safe area.

One of the best in OC This is a little restaurant on the corner of Euclid/Ball with a sign "Pho Veggie" in front. The food is always served fast and fresh. - Banana Flower Tacos: a refreshing little appetizer served on a light, puff rice cracker - Fried Tofu: If you try anything, you HAVE to get this. It is so fluffy and airy and you don't get the same feeling you would typically get from eating fried tofu at other places (guilt from the oil). - Garlic Chicken: The sauce is so savory and there's up to 4 spice levels. the texture of the "chicken" is great, you would've never thought it was not chicken - Bun Thit Nuong (Vermicelli Bowl with Egg Roll): I was hesitant at first because I typically don't like vegetarian egg rolls but I was blown away. This may be the best egg roll I've ever had. I didn't know how I'd feel about having little mango garnishes in the bowl but it actually complimented everything. - Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Beef): I don't usually order this item because I feel that it is often too chewy and too saucy for my liking. However, this was such a great dish!! It came with crispy potatoes which reminded me of smashed potatoes. Overall, I really really really recommend this place. They are only open from 4pm-8pm every day, except for Tuesday's. The owner is super friendly and you can really tell that he cares about his customers.

The service here was great. I was greeted by a friendly man who was also my server. The restaurant is a hidden gem for vegans and just about 2 miles from Disneyland. I ordered the pho which was comforting and delicious. I also got the spring rolls and loved those. I even ordered lemon grass chicken to go. I ordered a coconut to go and unfortunately it was cracked and leaked all over the car. That was a bummer and the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu.

I've eaten here with friends three times over the past few months and the food here does not disappoint! I'm quite impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant and I'm happy always to be greeted by the owner / manager. Our food selections come from the kitchen hot and without delay. My favorite is the phò and the green beans.

So happy to have found this place, thanks to a Reddit thread. We had the garlic chicken, jicama spring rolls, and banana flower tacoes, and everything was delicious. The food came super quickly, the staff was lovely, and the prices were incredible. A highlight of our trip to Anaheim - we can't recommend it highly enough!

I ordered ahead online. Headed straight over, I only live 5 minutes away. While I waited the nice gentleman insisted I sit. He even brought me a water while I waited. They were very kind. I ordered the vermicelli without mint. And extra egg roll. You can tell they have pride in their establishment and in their food. I've been looking for a new spot since the place I grew up going to (mama K's in stanton) suddenly shut down this year. I finally found a new favorite spot. Thank you!

I had the vegan and gluten free vegetable pho and it was ok. My husband had the shaking beef and he also thought it was ok. The jicama spring rolls were ok as well. Customer service was wonderful though

Haven't been here in over 12 years and I'm so embarrassed because the food here is so good tonight I ordered the chow fun and the Buddhist feast and it did not disappoint I will be coming back more often again as I'm back on my wellness and weight loss journey.

We got the duck noodle soup, mango salad, and garlic chicken and enjoyed them all. Mango was tangy and refreshing. Duck noodle soup was filling and satisfying. Garlic chicken was so flavorful. Staff was kind and brought out everything I asked for and the meal was affordable! I will definitely come back.

This is the best veggie restaurant in town. I wish I had visited a long time ago. I forgot to take a picture because I was so excited to eat. I ordered the garlic chicken. It amazes me what they're able to do with the soy.

Amazingly affordable vegan Vietnamese food less than 10 minutes from Disney! They have an efficient takeout system and a $20 credit card minimum. - Garlic chicken (Ga Toi): $7.45: A well-deserved best-seller! Light and citrusy flavor with medium spiciness. I was especially impressed by the smoky meatiness of the soy itself, which lingered deliciously since the texture was just slightly more chewy than meat. - Royal noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue): $8.45: deconstructed, you can see how generous they are with the amount of veggies and excellent variety of protein: mushrooms, soy beef, and tofu! Unfortunately the soup was too sweet with added flavorings for my taste; I'd hoped for more hints of lemongrass and Thai chili. I was also bummed that the styrofoam container lid came cracked from the heat, so some of the soup spilled out though I carried it upright. Edit: both dishes taste just as good reheated! Also recommended are the Jicama Rolls, Banana Flower Tacos, Shaken Beef (Bistec), and Clay Pot with fish. Will come again for a fresh and filling meal!

Delicious vegan food close to my hotel by Disneyland. I came here to eat after the park, the 'beef' and spring rolls were delicious! Fair prices ample parking and extremely friendly service.

Vietnamese cuisine, but make it vegan. For years, I would rarely deviate from my usual order: pho with rare steak and lean brisket or flank. Maybe I'd add egg rolls if I wanted to splurge. But I was never compelled to explore the rest of the menu. That is, until I recently attended a birthday celebration for friend who is a vegetarian. Our dinner included many traditional dishes, all without meat. On the kitchen counter: - Large Mango Salad AKA gỏi xoài: no shrimp was harmed in the making of this dish. Cabbage, apples, carrots, and mangoes, with a coconut tamarind dressing. I'm not too big on fruits in salad, but this was an exception. Tangy and refreshing. - Banana Flower Tacos: Interesting, not sure if it's worth ordering again. Basically a rice cracker tostada with lettuce, salsa, and tempura banana flower. - Vermicelli Bowl AKA bún chả giò "thịt" nướng: traditional dish is made with pork or chicken I believe. The soy pork texture is pretty spot on, and the noodles were cooked well. - (Medium Spicy) Energy Bowl AKA cơm hến: traditional dish usually includes clam or mussel. A wonderful medley of lettuce, rice, sliced carrots, tofu, and more. - (Medium Spicy) Garlic "Chicken" AKA gà tỏi: this was the crowd favorite! I can't believe it's vegan?! In my opinion, this was the closest substitute to the real thing. - (No Spicy) Clay Pot Sensations AKA kho tộ: the soy fish is not vegan, indicated by the "NV" next to the name on the menu. Regardless, this was also a well done imitation. Not quite the same flaky texture, but close. - (Medium Spicy) Thai Vegetable Curry AKA cari thái: just alright, kinda wish they had a "meat" curry with a protein substitute. Pumpkin, potatoes, peas, and carrots felt a little plain. If you ever have a gathering of plant eaters, omnivores, and meat lovers, this place is a decent compromise to satisfy almost everyone's palate.

Excellent all-vegan Vietnamese food, with plenty of options. My wife & I stopped in for a quick dinner one evening. I got the pho with mixed veggies ($10.50 plus tax), and my wife got the Buddha's Feast ($10.95 plus tax) and soy chicken ($3) and a bowl of brown rice ($2.50) on the side. The food came within about 10 minutes. The pho had a really deep flavour of anise and allspice, and wasn't the least bit oily. You get plenty of fried tofu, a nice assortment of veggies (broccoli, bok choy, cabbage, and carrot mostly), and a solid portion of thin rice noodles -- and the usual garnishes on the side (basil, bean sprouts, jalapeno and lime). Their homemade chili oil amps this up beautifully, lifting this from an excellent pho to a top-notch pho. 5/5 The Buddha's Feast was suitably gentle, but cooked with a very nice brown sauce. The soy chicken was a nice accompaniment to it, the consistency of which seemed more like veggie ham. Really solid basic dish here. 4.5/5 Extremely friendly service and a no-frills but comfy environment. Love what this place is doing. Highly recommended for a great vegan meal in not-so-vegan-friendly Anaheim.

Not sure why there are some 1* reviews but this place is legit. Mom and pap joint, small cozy place. Don't expect fine dining but the Pho we had are awesome. Nice portion, lots of toppings, and the soup is awesome. The spring rolls are rolled well, and egg rolls are fried just right. Nothing to complain about here. We loved both of our Pho noodles, and loved the rolls. I'd go back again if given the chance.

This place is amazing. Large variety of food and I will always come back to this place! Service was great and food was also very good. You can't tell the meat is not meat. Delicious
