    This place is 100% plant-based. The imitiation meat is almost like real meat. Hard to tell the difference. We ordered #31 & #37. Both are equally delicious. Service is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Shout out to Nhi! The decor is very much like in Saigon. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will come back again to try the rest of the menu.

    Fried rice cakes.

    Golden Flower Veggies, been here twice, so had to get a review in. This restaurant is not flashy and blends into the neighborhood but it is decent place for vegetarian Vietnamese food lovers. Upon entering, we were quickly greeted. To the left is a trinket corner tucked near the entrance. Then, you'll see a to-go counter--stocked with fresh premade dishes like soups, tofu entree and snacks. Super convenient if you're in a rush but still want something homemade and tasty. If you buy 4 boxes it's $20. I decided to order 2 items to try and compare to another shop that I also support. We sat in and ordered from the menu. The food is flavorful, portions are good, and the nice lady is kind (but speaks limited English). Parking can be a bit tight in their private lot. We ordered the special noodle soup and fried rice cake! Both were delicious and worth trying again!! I personally like the rice cakes blended with eggs and topped with fresh chilies. I'll have to come back again to try other menu items.

    Got the tofu noodle soup and a version of the vermicelli noodles. Overall good and really sweet staff. Pretty quiet overall, but got busier right when we left

    Mi Tiem and Bot Chien with fried eggs

    Took my friend to Golden Flower Veggie on my veggie day and it always hit the spot! We had the Bun Rieu, Mi Tiem and Bot Chien... The dishes are large and full of flavor with plenty of greeneries on the side. The stand is the crispy Bot Chien with fried eggs - totally delicious and flavorful... The ambiance is a typical family owned establishment with mix and match of spaces serving as "food to go" and various merchandise for sale. It can be busy during the lunch hours. Service is friendly and fast... attentive to our questions and always willing to suggest what is good for the day. Love it!

    I called in an order of vegetarian crab and egg noodle soup. I didn't expect to come into this restaurant and see a to go food counter with a variety of foods and treats. I picked up some sweet potato, dessert and jackfruit as a result. The menu is extensive and focuses on vegetarian Vietnamese cuisine. We will definitely come back to try more items. There is a private parking lot. Casual. Good service. Please come and create your own experience.

    Great & healthy food, nice service here If you're vegetarian, this restaurant should be trying.

    Complete 180. Almost entirely different experience last time I was here. My family stopped going here because the woman that serves here was completely rude. She seems to be the only server and I'm assuming she must be a family friend or relative of the business. She was extremely rude last time with a very bad attitude. We complained last time and she begged for us not to tell the owner. She must've been having a bad day. That totally changed. When we gave them another chance today, she was a completely different person. She was very nice, friendly, attentive, and very helpful. She probably remembers us from last time. She was the only one working the front as usual and doing everything. She was taking phone orders, hosting and seating guests, packing togo orders, cashing people out, and serving all at the same time. That may be the reason why she gave us bad service last time, but still wasn't an excuse to treat us badly. We ordered takeout and decided to also dine in because everything looked so good. The togo section had a good variety, looked fresh, and had a good deal that day. For 4 items + 1 bonus item = 5 food items for a total of $20. I thought was a decent deal and we ended up getting 2 sets of orders! We also ordered our usual dining in. The plates this time however I noticed has gotten smaller. The portions were a bit skimpy this time around. The restaurant also looked to have added a lot more items inside the shop and outdoor like a consignment store. They were selling tons of dry goods, fruits, clothing, candy, and variety of products. Overall, experience was A LOT BETTER than last time. The service was good and a pleasant experience. The woman server was a lot nicer, brought us everything we needed, and was very polite! Not sure what happened, but glad we gave them another try. My only concern with the place as others have mentioned, is the tight and limited parking space. It's extremely small, and usually full. The location is also always busy next to a pho restaurant and near a corner block and positioning of the parking can also be tricky. AND the other complaint is that the restaurant does charge for WATER. Yes, plain tap water. I think they charge the 50cents for the cup/inventory they use as they don't use kitchen cups, only togo plastic cups.

    This is a great place for vegetarians since everything on the menu is vegetarian friendly. Since this is a Vietnamese establishment, everything they offer is a vegetarian version of common Vietnamese dishes such as Bun Bo Hue, Phoenix, Vermicelli, etc. Everything we ordered was delicious, but I think the Hu Tieu (noodle soup) was a bit bland. I recommend the following dishes: #31. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio ($13.95), #9. Goi Mit - jackfruit/lotus salad ($14.95), and #10. Mi Xao Gion ($14.95). Service was great and the restaurant is spacious. The parking lot is a bit small, but if you come early, there will be no problem.

    They have a really good com tam plate here! I also got the bot chien, which was good if that's your thing. The market inside is nice for to-go options and other snacks. The ladies working there are really sweet and helpful.

    Finally had a chance to come to this place...Parking lot is really small so I never thought about coming here but it is around the corner almost from where i go every month so I walked there from the parking lot where Da Vien is at.... What i liked most is unlike many Vegan or Vegetarian places they don't over salt their foods to make up for lost flavors.... Fresh and refreshing.... Nice staff and let me sit even though my friend wasn't there yet.... My friend got the Duck Noodle Soup...which she enjoyed. I got the Bun Bi Cha Gio....which is a dry noodle dish which you normally would pour fish sauce over...I'm not sure what the vegetarian sauce is made of but it was good... They have a counter area with display of things to go which I plan to get some the next time I stop by.

    My favorite soup

    Excellent, delicious vegetarian foods. Buy 4 items and get 1 free for only $20 (plus tax). You can dine in with large selections of various vegetarian foods. Courteous / friendly service from the female owner. It is cluttered, dark inside. Credit cards accepted with no extra fee. Parking is difficult because of small lot.

    Peggy W.

    Really god vegetarian food. The only one in town i like. I ordered Bun Tam bi. It's very authentic flavors. And we ordered bun mam also. We also tried their corn milk it was tasty and not too sweet

    Nathan V.

    Of course there are re numerous options to eat out in garden grove but we wanted leaning something towards vegetarian and we found a good spot. Fortunately we were all hungry and were the only ones when we came it. The inside is spacious and imagine on busier days or busier time of the day it probably get a lot of people coming in and out. Each of us ordered our plates and they came out pretty quick which was a good thing since we all were hungry. Everything was tasteful, two soup bowls and I got a flat rice noodles dish. Told them all veggies but they gave me combo. Guess they wanted that extra dollar but it's fine because it was good regardless. I forgot which bowl that they ordered but one of them was slightly bland. Either way the food was good, the place was nice, can't imagine how parking is when it gets busy. Service was the type of service you get when you are in that area if you know what I mean. So don't think too much of that. Good enough I guess you can say. Do recommend it though and even with so many options out there in GG I would still go back again.

After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

I knew about their fried chicken, but I didn't know they had chicken sandwiches too. I got the Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich, 4 wings, and garlic noodles. Tip: If you order through the app, you can skip the wait and get a free garlic noodle. I think it's only for your first order on the app, though, and I'm not sure how long the deal lasts. Wings -- 3/5 The wings were okay, but pretty mediocre. I got one flat and three drumettes, which was a little disappointing. The flavor and crispiness were both kind of lacking, and I ate them fresh too. The seasoning reminded me of that lobster green onion sauce you'd get at a Vietnamese-Chinese restaurant. Spicy Vietnamese Chicken Sandwich -- 4/5 The sandwich was definitely better. The chicken had a good crisp to it, but sadly, it was overfried and wasn't cooked evenly. The edges were noticeably darker than the center, and the chicken itself was thinner than I expected. The sauce didn't taste like anything particularly special either--it was giving spicy mayo, if anything. The vegetables and pickles made the sandwich taste similar to another famous chicken sandwich place. I actually liked it overall, but because the chicken wasn't fried evenly, I'd give it a 4/5. Garlic Noodles The garlic noodles were okay. They definitely had a lot of garlic, but I didn't think the cheese on top was necessary. It kind of ruined it for me. I won't rate this one since it was free, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Service wasn't bad. It was super busy when I went, so I had to wait a little longer than the estimated pickup time. There's ample seating inside, although the AC was kind of lacking. Overall, I'd probably come back for the chicken sandwich and give it another try, especially if a friend wanted to go. I wouldn't really recommend the other items I tried, though.

They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
