Hoa Sen Vegetarian Restaurant

This is our GO-TO for authentic Vietnamese! Even if we weren't vegan/vegetarians we would without a doubt still be coming here. My wife and I have practically tried everything on the menu and every dish we've tried has been 10/10 every time! Even during these incredibly weird times, they managed to impress us with how well presented the take-out orders are. They also package it so neat/tidy that there's no way anything will spill in your car. think of it as Take-Out Tetris. My wife particularly likes their Bun Hue - the broth is light and refreshing with subtle hints of spiciness. She also loves Banh Xeo which is supposed to be an appetizer, but it's enough to be an entree. I can't say I have a favorite dish because I love them all! But the one thing I do always order is their Nem Nuong or Goi Cuon to help stretch my tummy before I dive into a bowl of soup or a rice dish OR BOTH! Yes, I've ordered two entrees before because I couldn't decide if I wanted soup or rice. Yes, it's true the place could use a little update BUT WHO CARES!! The place is clean, the service is excellent, prices are amazing and the food is ridiculously good!

The food is very tasty at reasonable price and no waiting time. Thank you for making awesome food without onion, garlic. Waiter and waitress are so exceptional. I would love to come in everyday If I live in Orange county.

Yes, they are open to taking out! Wow, this food is phenomenal. I've been here three times now and every time I'm amazed at their diverse options and delicious food. Today is the curry with a baguette. How have I not had this before? Dipping bread into curry is the best. I don't even want to share this. Third time having their spring rolls. I love the peanut satay sauce. Can't wait to come back.
