Hoa Sen

Stopped by since it’s a veggie day for Buddhism. It’s packed at 10:30am but got a seat right at the entrance door. Easy parking since it’s a big parking. Plenty of food choices and is quite big menu. Got bun Bo hue, and it’s very tasty and well make with good amount of filling over the noodle. Service is okey, they don’t check on you unless you call for the attention could be better but it’s busy so…the inside is quite packed with tables so everything close to each other, abit hard to walk through it. And it’s abit dark too. Overall great food with good price tag.

A few dollars cheaper than Bo De Tinh Tam Chay, with good food overall. The clay pot rice was a bit too chewy and not quite up to par, but everything else was enjoyable. This is definitely a new place I’d come back to.

I’ve only been here twice, but it’s become a must whenever a family trip to Disney rolls around. The food is fresh, delicious, and comes out quick. They have a nice menu that isn’t limited or too overwhelming. Affordable and welcoming establishment.

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.
