I always liked Vietnamese food. All the food that we had there was delicious. You cannot go wrong here. The prices were very reasonable and the quantity of each dish was more than enough for one person.

This place changed my perspective on vegetarian restaurants. Easily recommendation from me!

Used to always be a proud meathead but had a respect for vegetarian/vegan restaurants as I believed they had to be good to be around. After giving Hoa Sen a try with some friends, I realised that meat isn't always the best thing in a meal. Almost every single order I've had here has been a smash.

The Happy Hoa Sen salad is usually a staple when I go with friends to share. Vegetarian food already feels light in general but this was a great refresher between bites. The Com Dap is a comforting crunchy-ish rice dish that feels like a sure hit with anyone indecisive. The claypot rice is my favourite meal here for sure, reminding me of an amazing rice and mushroom dish at a now closed tapas restaurant. These two rice dishes come with their own sauces if I remember right that absolutely change the way the meal tastes, and not just like adding soy sauce. The house special fried rice is a nice familiar staple for those less adventurous, and it's impressive that there's even vegetarian pork floss! The Mi Xao Gion isn't much to write about though, as I'm not much of a mi xao person.

The servers are all very nice and friendly, with the restaurant making good use of space although on the cozier side. The food doesn't crank out fast but you won't be waiting too long.

Best vegan food that I've had in Southern California so far! It's definitely not the best decor or dining experience, but the food is just amazing. The clay pot rice and lotus salad, in particular, were standouts. The flavors and quality of the ingredients were excellent. We were actually hoping to go to Au Lac, but it is closed on Mondays so we wound up here. We are sure glad that we did.

We've been loyal patrons of this vegan restaurant for many years, and it has never disappointed us. While the prices have slightly increased to keep up with inflation, the quality of the food has remained consistently exceptional. Every visit guarantees a meal that is both healthy and absolutely delicious, featuring flavorful Asian vegan dishes we know and love. It’s the kind of place where you can always count on your favorites to be just as good as you remember. We’re so grateful to have discovered this gem years ago and continue to enjoy it to this day!

6/2022-Delicious vegetarian dishes Viet style and you wouldn't even realize it's veggie it's that good! Staff are hardworking and friendly;
11/2019-This place is a hidden gem amongst the locals for excellent vegetarian Vietnamese dishes. Don't let its humble exterior deceive you nestled in a humdrum strip mall across from a much newer and bigger counterpart. It gets very busy during the lunch hour but their friendly servers are very knowledgeable and patient especially for the occasional vegetarian or non-Vietnamese patron. Everything is a delicious vegetarian version of a traditional Vietnamese dish. Parking can get very crowded and cramped especially in the two long aisles but it's worth the small inconvenience.

My favorite Vegan restaurant in SoCal! Their food is consistently delicious and super flavorful! And I love how fresh everything tastes! Their service is also fast with everyone on their staff being super friendly and respectful. We love it so much that I come here with my family almost weekly! Our favorite dishes are the clay pot rice, spicy beef noodle soup, lotus salad, fried mushrooms, and fried tofu with coriander leaves. Highly recommend!
