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

Fried rice cakes.

Golden Flower Veggies, been here twice, so had to get a review in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is not flashy and blends into the neighborhood but it is decent place for vegetarian Vietnamese food lovers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the restaurant is spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is cluttered, dark inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Either way the food was good, the place was nice, can't imagine how parking is when it gets busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

Golden Flower Vegetarian Restaurant came highly recommended by my cousin as one of her family favorites. On one of our larger family outings, we decided to come here to try their vegetarian interpretation of beloved traditional Vietnamese dishes. They are located on a fairly busy road, but they have their own small parking lot for customers only. If you're lucky you might find parking. Also, you can tell they cater to the local Vietnamese Buddhist community, because their menu discloses that they are able to omit onion or garlic for the super intense who believe onions and garlic are foods that excite passion. They were quickly to accommodate our large group of 10 by combining 2 tables. Please note there is an 18% service charge for parties of 6 or more. Huge family order! There were 4 Banh Xeos ($14.95/each) for the table to share, Bun Bo Hue ($13.95), Bun Rieu ($13.95), 2 Bun Thit Cha Gio ($13.95), Com Bo Luc Lac ($14.95), Bun Tofu Xao Xa ($14.95), Pho ($13.95), and my Banh Canh ($13.95). For drinks, there were mostly waters ($0.50/each NOT FREE), 2 Sua Dau Nanh ($3.00/each), Dau Xanh La Dua ($5.00) and 3 including one for me Rau Ma ($5.00/each). They forgot my banh canh with the original order, so they had to ask the kitchen to rush it. I munched on some of the shared banh xeos. The exterior was not as crispy as I liked and the filling was mainly bean sprouts. I'm not a fan of bean sprouts so I was removing most of the filling. When my food arrived it was less than impressive. If you are not familiar with banh canh it is a Vietnamese udon noodle made with tapioca so it has a slippery slurpiness. The bowl had imitation proteins, tofu, mushrooms carrots, broccoli and onions. The broth was not as flavorful as other vegetarian restaurants I have been to. I really did not like the imitation proteins. The tofu, mushrooms and onions were okay. I ate the broccoli to be healthy. My aunt was so funny she kept telling me she can make every dish better. It's true though. She really does. The meal was edible but it would be hard for me to come back when there are better vegetarian options out there.

One of my favorite Vietnamese seafood restaurants in the area. If you like anything and everything…read moreshellfish (claims, scallops, escargot, etc), then this is the place for you! Have been to this restaurant many times, and food is always consistent! Came visit to the restaurant last week, and ordered my favorite Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter and Peppercorn, Grilled Scallops with Cheese, and my all-time favorite Chilean Sea Bass hot pot! The grilled escargots are a must-have when visiting this place! These are perfectly grilled with rich garlic butter for sweetness, and with a slight kick of spiciness from the peppercorn. Don't forget to also dip the escargot meat with black pepper and a few squeeze of fresh lime juice! If you like melted cheese, then the grilled scallops with cheese would be the perfect match. Each scallop is covered melted cheese and comes sizzling on a hot plate when ordered! Last but certainly not least, my favorite dish of this restaurant is the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The order comes with your own tabletop gas stove, along with a hot pot filled with a tom yum like sour soup base. For ingredients, it also includes a plate with slices of pineapple, quarter cut fresh tomato slices, fresh bean sprouts, rice noodles, and a full plate of large pieces of Chilean Sea Bass. Just put all the ingredients in the hot pot and let it cook for 5-10mins on high, I promise you it is one of the best soups you will ever have! Service is good as always. This place always seems to be busy, so you may have to be on the waitlist during certain business hours (eg holidays, prime dinner time, etc). Parking wise, the restaurant is located in a busy plaza, and so you may have to drive around a few times before finding an open spot. However as I said earlier, it's worth the wait. Highly recommended.

This Vietnamese fusion seafood restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and hot pots. We started with the razor clams, which were the standout of the meal. They were incredibly flavorful and paired with a delicious sauce that had us wanting every last bite. The spicy scallops were another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. The escargot was a little chewy, but the savory sauce made up for it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum seafood hot pot, which was just okay. We also had the deep-fried tilapia, which was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside. It's hard to go wrong with anything deep-fried here. Overall, the razor clams and deep-fried tilapia were the highlights of our meal. If you're willing to wait for a table, this is a good spot for fresh seafood with a few standout dishe

Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor.

It comes served piping HOT so be careful! We also had the bun cha ha noi which is a very traditional Northern Vietnamese Nanoi dish. It has grilled pork patties and pork belly in a sweet savory fish sauce served with fresh herbs and cold rice vermicelli. You pretty much eat it by wrapping it with the lettuce or dip your noodles into the sauce. Very authentic and delicious without being overly heavy. There isn't much service here since they seem to be super short staffed but they do have delicious authentic Northern Vietnamese food so we absolutely will be back again!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. 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.
