Fried Fluffy Tofu Puffs! - Edit
The ĐẬU HỦ CHIÊN RAU RĂM Fried Tofu (fried fluffy tofu puffs) were delicious! … really unique. We also had the Spring Rolls, Lemongrass “Chicken”, and “Bistec”. All were great. The server/owner was friendly, too. Finally, let me just talk about the flan. It is really hard to find vegan flan at all, let alone good vegan flan. It’s very challenging to make. This place has one of the better vegan flans out there. I loved the light texture. ☺️

Food is great. One of the best vegan restaurants in OC. I particularly like the flavors as some of them are very strong. Love their lamb and fish.

Good - Edit
The food is really good. For those who like spicy, fried rice is ideal, which is not very much my case. I loved the flan and egg rolls.

Flavorful Noodle Soups - Edit
If you love really flavorful noodle soup, try this place out!
Read moreI'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.

Loved having an all vegan restaurant near my hotel and Disney! - Edit
Loved having an all vegan restaurant near my hotel and Disney! I ordered fried tofu, sweet and sour vegan drumsticks and vegan ham fried rice. It was tasty! They go heavy on mushroom seasoning, so if that’s not your thing be sure to ask for less! Follow me @yourneighborhoodvegan and find me at yourneighborhoodvegan.com

The best place we didn't expect to find in Anaheim - Edit
We were starving after a long day at Disneyland and didn't want to wait to get back to LA to eat, so looked for the closest vegan restaurant in the area. Best decision ever! This meal was exceptional, in fact I would argue it was the best meal we had on our entire week long trip which was very much a food tour! The pho - I will dream about this pho for years to come, it totally hit the spot. And the fried tofu appetizer was unlike anything I've ever had, the puffy tofu with the lime and salt dip was heavenly. We also had the orange chicken which was delicious, but the pho and fried tofu were exceptional!
Read moreAlso it was the most affordable place we ate at during our vacation, so huge bonus. Also great to support local and this seems like it is a mom and pop shop, so all the more reason to visit. I wish we could have gone back, but I intend to recommend to anyone whose going to be in the Anaheim area or willing to make the trek from LA!
Pros: Delicious, standout food , Super affordable , Very friendly staff
Cons: None

Epic Vegan Vietnamese! - Edit
Wow!... I did not expect to have such amazing vegan Vietnamese food during my weekend at Disneyland.
Read moreThere 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.
Thanks Thuyen Vien for an incredible dinner.
Pros: Excellent, quality food, Friendly service, Great portions

Solid Vietnamese Food - Edit
I can’t say there is anything that texturally stands out about the soy protein used in the mock meats here as it was a bit too chewy for my liking, but the overall flavors of the food and great service motivates me to want to come again!

Called and they hung up on me - Edit
I was trying to place an order on the phone and the guy literally hung up on me. I will NEVER go to a place that hangs up the phone when you’re trying to order. So rude.

Best Vietnamese Food - Edit
This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants of all time. I don't think that I have had anything on the menu that wasn't delicious. The family that owns the place is super friendly & they are very hospitable. The food is always prepared quickly & always super yummy!
Read moreSome of my favorite items on the menu are the Garlic Chicken, Lemongrass Chicken, the Crispy Fish, & the chicken wings. If you order online there are two different websites for the restaurant online ordering, one is inactive & will not let you order, but the other will let you order online but you can only pay in store, even if you're paying with card.
Pros: Good Value for Vegan Food , Friendly Staff, Generous Portions
Cons: Inconsistent Hours

A Warm Welcome - Edit
My 1st time here and the service was great! We got plenty of recommendations from our waiter. We shared some egg rolls that were beyond amazing, then ventured into some "seafood" and garlic chik'n-- WOW! A few tables around us were regulars, which gave me a good feeling that this place is consistently delicious. I will definitely be back!

Glad we found you! - Edit
Finally got to try this little gem I found within a mile of my house. Called in for pick up, food was ready and packed to go when I arrived. We did the banana leaf tacos and tofu to start, both were very good. Salad to share and chow mien noodles with Buddah Bowls, the food is large portions so we had leftovers for lunch. Fresh, flavorful, authentic food.
