Tried their fried mushroom tofu and we're addicted! Can't wait to return and try their other dishes. Mom and pop shop. Fast service. Cute little restaurant with a few tables for sit down and a section for ready made items to grab and go. read more

Food: tried the fried tofu and dessert. Really good. Dessert: priced depending on item. Tofu: 5/$1 Combo plate: rice and noodles + 2 sides for $10.00! Service: quick no nonsense and efficient at taking your orders. One of the ladies spoke English. Ambiance: tables are meant to seat 4 people. Any larger and you will need to seat in separate tables. read more

The salt & pepper tofu is soooo good! Staff was friendly and everything came out quickly, hot and delicious.

Great fried tofu at a great price, five pieces for $1. However, the staff speaks Vietnamese primarily.

Found maggots in my food after eating half of it. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! read more

Love the vegan friendly options here. My favorite is the bi cuon chay - the vegan spring-rolls and wide variety of fresh tofu. Friendly services too. I ordered in the morning for a small party tray pickup and they are so accommodating. I preferred no noodles Bún in my spring rolls and they customized how I like it. It was definitely a huge hit at the party. read more

Vegetarian spot off of Stockton Blvd in Sac. If you don't speak Vietnamese, there's a language barrier. (However, don't let that deter you from checking the business out. You just may have to do a lot of pointing.) Over the years I've tried their soy milk, fried tofu, soup, and bao. The vegetarian bao is my favorite item, in terms of the taste. The best value would item would probably be their fried tofu (I prefer the lemongrass over the mushroom, but I still eat both. A hole-in-the-wall business that I would describe as a bit dingy, but it's worthwhile to check it out if in the area. read more

A hole in the wall vegetarian spot in South Sac. Everything is pre-made and in warming containers behind a glass counter. I think they replenish certain items, but once they sell out, they are done. You just have to point and let them know what size you want. They speak a little big of English and usually friendly. I see the same lady for years. I love the fried tofu (mushroom, lemongrass and plain). I think it's 5 pieces for $1 now. It's a steal and they are well known for their fried tofu. I enjoyed the variety of flavors and texture. The sweet and sour soup with okra, tofu and vegetables is a must doing the cold months. I really haven't had anything I didn't like. The vegetarian char siu taste and look like meat. I don't know how they do it. I also like the spicy eggplant. You can order soup noodles like bun rieu or bun bo hue to eat in there or take home. They have few tables and usually empty when I'm there. They also sell a bunch of vegetarian dry goods and snacks. read more

Have to give Huong Sen another 5 star rating. The flavors and offerings are amazing. Absolutely delicious. read more

I would've rated this place higher. The staff are nice and the food is good, and I genuinely like coming here. However, I would recommend being more careful when scooping food into containers. I noticed the food repeatedly touching the employee's fingers and nails, which was off-putting. I didn't say anything at the time, but it affected my experience. read more

The lemon grass fried tofu and mushroom fried tofu is my favorite here. The cost is only 5/$1. They used to package the fried tofu in a styrofoam container if you purchase more than $5, however my last purchase was placed in a paper bag, which became saturated with oil. The fresh soy milk is delicious, however each time I come here they seem to be out of stock. The spring rolls and baos are very tasty even though there is no meat. The baos are a bit pricy for being small at 3/$6 but they are soft and delicious. The workers do not speak much English, so pointing at food and being patient is a must. read more

Huong Sen Tofu - Bao: 3/$6 - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

As a vegan I love this place!!! Have been coming here for close to 10 years. Bring cash! Order everything! Delicious! Get there early because they sell out and will have limited options close to closing. Try it! Friendly service, clean store. I usually get it togo but they have booths for dining in. read more

I love a quick vegan burger or sandwich but if you're looking for a REAL MEAL for only $12, you need to come try their Bun Bo Hue Chay here, which means Vegan Beef Noodle Soup. This has become a staple in my vegan lifestyle. I abstain from dairy and meat for Lent every year and every year I always get a quick snack from here. This year I decided to sit down and try something off their soup menu and I am blown away by the flavor despite being completely animal product free. It's ran by a helpful kind Vietnamese older man and they preferably take cash only. The space is small, intimate but cozy. It actually reminds me of restaurants in Vietnam. My favorite thing togo is their vegan spin on BBQ Pork and their sweet tofu dessert. read more

Huong Sen Tofu - bun bo hue chay - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Bring cash and you'll be rewarded with great food! Everything is seasoned perfectly. Fried tofu is sublime, especially the mushroom and lemongrass flavors. Spring rolls, curry soup noodle, bun bo hue, and several of their stewy tofu dishes are just a few of their highlights. Bit of a language barrier for English speaking folks, but don't let that deter you from coming. This place is the best vegetarian restaurant I've even been to. read more

I think this might be the only vegan restaurant in the greater Sacramento area that I have come across that makes their own tofu and soymilk. All other vegan places I have visited use store bought tofu. It's a unique restaurant there are items that are made to order (mostly pho), items that pre made and kept in a display case (multiple rice and noodle dishes, and a variety of stir fry and curried vegetables, tofu, and mock meats), and items that are pre-made and pre-packaged to go (rice and bean dishes, rice and lentil dishes, appetizers, and sweets). They also sell fruits and vegetables, and plain and flavored soymilk in 1/2 gallon jugs. I had very limited options because I avoid onions, garlic, mushrooms, and vinegar which are used in most of the dishes. Except for the pho which is made to order, all the other items include fried tofu get cold sitting in the display case. They do offer to reheat it, but I don't like the idea of reheated food, so I end up eating it cold. They also have a hot tofu dessert which is probably the item that I enjoy the most when I go here. Prices of everything are unbelievably low. Probably the biggest issue I have with the place is that it could be cleaner. read more

Super bomb fresh food very friendly and welcoming too all people love this place family owned

Best tofu and pandan waffles ! Make sure you have some time before ordering the waffles because they make it fresh.

I love to go huong sen to eat because they cook well and good , when I eat tofu I go this place . Thanks you

One of the few things I miss from my South Sac days. Come here if you like good food, whether or not you're veg or into Vietnamese cuisine.  If you live in South Sac and haven't checked this place out, I suggest that you check this place out. I have the same advice for anyone who doesn't live in South Sac.  Go to Huong Sen if you're an adventurous soul. Go if you're a foodie. They offer various vegetarian dishes--savory and sweet--either frozen or ready-to-eat. They also sell common Southeast Asian pantry items like chili garlic oil, instant noodles (no egg), vegetarian pork floss, et cetera. Go if you'd like an authentic Vietnamese experience. Go if you like eating well on a budget. This is far from a bougie spot, but that's part of its charm. Where else can you get five pieces of delicious, freshly made fried tofu (lemongrass or mushroom flavor) for a dollar? (Trivia: It used to be six pieces.)  They used to have a dine-in area, but they shut it down during Covid and--as far as my last visit a few months ago--they haven't brought it back. I miss being able to sit at a booth with my sister or a friend. (FYI, my sister is also my friend.) We'd be having a fun time talking and goofing around while working on our ridiculously large and satisfying bowls of pho. Good times.  Go to Huong Sen Tofu if you enjoy supporting ethical local businesses.  I used to volunteer for Food Not Bombs, which distributes vegan food for free at Cesar Chavez Park. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the huge amounts of tofu we used was made at and donated by Huong Sen. Pro tip: If your English is better than your Vietnamese, ask for the employee named Too (yes, like the number). read more

A little hidden gem. The food is so comforting and delicious, genuinely my absolute favorite go to for noodle soup as someone who cannot eat seafood and most of these dishes traditionally use some type of seafood. They're so kind too! Genuinely feels like going to my grandparents house! I love it here and the food is amazing and reasonably priced! Please come and support, they deserve it! read more

I used to like bún bò Huế more than phở. Even though bún bò Huế suggests that it's made with beef, but mostly it's also made with pork at restaurants unless it's cooked at home. I don't eat swine. So the best alternative is the bún bò Huế here. I know there's been a bad wrap with vegan food lately, but they do it well at this spot. I don't eat too much salty stuff, but the bún mắm is good. Mắm chưng, gỏi cuốn, and nem nướng is usually made with pork and I haven't found any good substitute for it until I went here. I can do vegetarian. read more

Fresh and great taste. Got vegetarian vermicelli #10, $12. Great service. Got a free hot tofu as a first visit. CASH ONLY.

I love the low prices here, $7 for each of the noodle soups we ordered! I also got $3 banh bot loc to-go and they were very small but delicious. The bun bo hue did not have a strong bun bo hue flavor but still tasted okay. Both soups were on the sugary sweet side (rather than fruit or veggie sweetened) but had a decent amount of fake meats and fried onion for more flavor & texture. Great place for cheap, vegetarian Vietnamese food! read more

Huong Sen Tofu - bun bo hue chay (left) & bun mam chay (right) - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I stop here about once a month when I shop at SF Supermarket nearby. I always get the fresh rolls from the case in front & the stuffed jalapeños from the hot bar. I have been trying other things each time but I have no idea what most of it is since it's not labeled. Everything has been good but I did get a "seafood" dish that was to salty for my taste. Bring or stop to get cash, they don't take any other form of payment. Come early. I got there at about 5 and they were out of several things. read more

4 stars for food quality and 5 for price. Their food is a little more in the salty side but I like it that way. I recommend trying their bun hue and bun man. The broth is rich and flavorful. The workers are so sweet and friendly here too. Overall, it's good food but not the best chay food I've ever had that's why I didn't give it a 5 stars but I highly recommend this place if you are in search for Vietnamese vegetarian food. read more

Yummm!! My mom introduced me to this place and I am addicted to the tofu they sell here! This is the place to get some cheap yummy tofu!! It is the place for vegetarians. They have a restaurant and food to-go and many tofu options. I get the fried tofu and the fried tofu wrapped in bean curd. I have yet to try the other items. I am personally not a fan of vegetarian food i.e. imitation meat, but I do love tofu and the tofu here is delicious!! The fried tofu here is cheap also. They have fried tofu that have mushrooms and lemon grass. They are both good, but I prefer the lemon grass. It's 7 pieces for $1. My favorite however is the fried tofu wrapped with bean curd. It's $2 a stick and just so good!! I could eat it all day!! It's also good when you reheat it in the oven because it gets so crispy too! I wish they sold that in SoCal where I live. I also saw that they have pandan soy milk!! I love pandan and will have to try this next time. I'm going to stop by this place on my way back to socal and get me some tofu to munch on for the road!! read more

Huong Sen Tofu - My favorite!! Fried tofu wrapped w bean curd - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Cool Tofu place.... they have a lot of variety of tofu dishes that is ready to eat. Also, you can purchase fresh tofu for a good price. Even though I am not the biggest tofu fan, they have some types of tofu. The place is small yet pretty clean and they even had soup noodle dishes such as egg noodles in a tomato broth with tofu. I even asked the person who worked there what is in the egg noodle soup.... and he simply said... tofu. Also, they are known for their pandan waffles which are made fresh... next time I will give it a try.They also have veggie Bun Bo Hue, which was okay but you cannot beat the original and plus.... I love MEAT. This place is a cool pad to try even if you are not the biggest tofu fan. read more

A hidden hole in da wall would describe this place quite well! At first glance it looks like an ordinary Vietnamese fast food joint. You may get overwhelmed by the amount of Vietnamese everyone is speaking- the lady behind the counter may even try to converse with you if you look Asian! Luckily the staff does speak some English and will happily assist you with what you would like. They offer various ethic pre-packaged foods- many in which I never even seen or heard of. So I decided to pick up their bamboo leaf warped "Che Chuoi" and Taro-potato-carrot in sauce! (Because anything with taro must be awesome, right??) In addition to their warmer and refrigerated section in the back, in the middle are hot foods. You can purchase them a la carte or do what I did and pick the $5 combo! With a mere $5 you can sample any two dishes and noodles and/or rice of your choice! I grew up eating my mom's stuffed bitter melon and I have not had it for years! This place offers Vegan version of it (and many other delicious things) so I definitely added it to my plate. I do not regret any of our choices, when we got home- we tasted everything and everything was yummy, a bit salty, but yummy! Note to self: order extra rice. If your in the area and wish to try new and exotic food, than drop by here! There is something for everyone here! I agree with the other yelpers that this place is better for takeout unless if you do not mind the atmosphere :) read more

FOOD Bun Rieu Chay: vermicelli noodle soup with 4 different types of tofu, tomatoes, carrots, and a white veggie I can't pinpoint. This dish was okay. It doesn't compare to the real thing. I liked trying the different types of tofu. I liked them all except one that had huge black peppers in it. 3/5 SERVICE Fast and fair. Your typical Vietnamese deli service. 3/5 FINAL THOUGHTS I would come back to try other dishes and maybe their combo plates. read more

We came by this place for tofu. Clean, small togo place with few tables and chairs for dine in. They have variety of vegetarian dishes for you to choose from. You can also order noodles soup. If you're craving for snack, give these 2 a try. Eggroll - .75 each or 3.00 for 5 pieces Banh cay - 1.00 for 5 pieces. Their food were a bit cold, but flavors were ok. Service was ok, but when we paid - cashier lady (could be the owner) was a bit rude to us. Perhaps, she had a bad day. read more
