Hoa Sen Vegetarian - Garden Grove

When someone who has been vegetarian for 16 years, this place is one of the TOP vegetarian restaurants I've ever been. All their dishes are amazingly expensive with portions that are generous. Flavours are alive and ingredients are always fresh. No wonder this place is waiting for the most time. Look at this, you won't regret it!

Stuns over the restaurant when you are looking for vegetarian food for lunch in orange in Google maps. A Vietnamese vegan restaurant with a large menu. The seat was quick and service fast. The place is small in a stripe mall, but clean and well maintained. I ordered the BBQ spicy lemongrass chicken and curry noodle . The chicken rice dish was good. Curry noodle was okay. The menu is large, so the restaurant will visit again.

6/2022-Delicious vegetarian dishes Viet style and you would not even realize that it is Veggie so good! The staff are working hard and friendly; 11/2019-This place is a hidden gem among locals for excellent vegetarian Vietnamese dishes. Let his humble outer deception embed you in a humdrum stripe marble over a much more recent and bigger counterpart. It is very busy during lunchtime, 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 be very crowded and cramped, especially in the two long walks, but it is worth the little inconvenience.

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.

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.
