Thit kho
Tiffany T.

wow I've never been to a vegetarian place that made food so similar to non vegetarian. The food is absolutely amazing. I am a meat eater and I come here pretty frequent because it's so good. The portions are huge and super affordable. The staff are always so so sweet! Also at the end of your meal they give dessert. Yummy

Flavors were off and didn't taste good. Food took forever to come out and they also ran out of some stuff on the menu for a restaurant that closes at 9pm. Would not return.

#55 Thit Quay Banh Bao (Vegan Pork Belly w/ Steamed Bao)
Joann V.

4.3 stars This is a long overdue review. My mom and I tried this place a while back and ordered 2 items: Banh Cuon (aka rice rolls $12) and Thit Kho (aka braised "pork" belly $14). The banh cuon was surprisingly really good. Typically, it is rolled with minced pork and onions. I don't know what kind of vegan meat they put in here, but it tasted exactly like the non-vegetarian version. We were impressed. 4.5/5 stars The thit kho was also pretty impressive. I believe it's a combination of tofu and a type of tapioca/rice starch mixture that is layered to mimic the texture of pork belly. When served fresh, it was quite tasty. Mom and I decided to get the steamed buns as well to sandwich it (this was extra cost). We took some leftovers home and, unfortunately, it wasn't quite as good the next day. 4/5 stars Service was ok. Interior was clean. I think it's a good option for people who are vegetarian/vegan. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

I'm honestly amazed every time I come here--everything tastes so good that it's hard to believe it's completely vegetarian! The flavors are rich, authentic, and incredibly satisfying. This has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a Vietnamese vegetarian fix. The restaurant is always nice and clean, and the service is consistently warm and attentive. I also love that they give a small complimentary dessert after your meal--such a thoughtful touch that makes the experience feel even more special. If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be for the restaurant to switch to warmer lighting, since the current bright white lighting can feel a bit harsh. But that's truly the only thing I would change. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food--vegetarian or not. A fantastic spot that never disappoints!

Banh Xeo (Vietnamese pancake).

It was my husband who came across KH Veggie Life, and since I love me some good vegetarian food, I wanted to try this place out. We ordered the Bánh Xèo, Bún bì chả giò thịt nướng and crispy egg noodles (Mì xào Don) - everything was made fast, fresh, and delicious! One of the aunties noticed from afar that our crispy noodles didn't have quite enough gravy (it needed more sauce so the crispy noodles could soften). She came over with a bowl of extra gravy, I was so impressed! It really showed how much care they put into making sure the dish was just right, instead of letting it be a dry noodle dish. Prices were also very reasonable, averaging around $12 per plate, which is a steal for the quality and portion size. There's ample parking in the plaza, and overall, I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in the mood for vegetarian food or have a vegetarian friend w/lots of great options to choose from!

1) 2 ladies in the front desk were just not professional! They can barely speak English while getting so nervous to answer my question about parking on the green zone! Older one answered me: No, we don't hv it on the menu!!! 2) Nothing attractive on the menu: Deep fried soy bean products on almost every single food items, either w/ rice or noodle dishes. But it's all printed as of" MEAT" items, its substitution not the real meats! The old lady even told me this is "Beef", that is " Pork", etc. Please, be 100% clear about your " meat" items as it's all Vegetarian" style! I ordered the rice noodle w/ roasted " meat". It's deep fried soy bean w/salad. No good flavors. And they don't hv business. I don't suppose they will get business w/none professional services and tasty food items. They do not know how to do business.

Iced tea! Unsweetened perfection.

Be still my heart! A Vietnamese veggie place opening close to our home?? Yes please! Partner and I came by after voluntarily getting stabbed in the arm by a well-meaning health care practitioner....for our health. So we were looking for some early dinner. Stumbled upon this place - they said they were only open for a couple weeks when we came by. We got the bun and some curry. They also have iced or hot tea for free, and we got some dessert on the house too (I think this is standard - we are not that special). However, their card machine was down that day, and we didn't have cash. I asked the woman who seemed to be the owner if they took Zelle or Venmo (they do not). She offered for us to just come back later "when you have time" to pay. Nooooo....we didn't want to do that. So we left our leftovers on the table and ran out to BoA across the street and got some cash. Upon coming back to the restaurant, the proprietor packed up two larger bowls of the dessert soup (mung bean with tapioca and coconut milk - SO GOOD) for us. And I'm kind of obsessed with their spring rolls, so we got some to go. As some of the others have pointed out, you can't beat the price here. We came mid-afternoon, so the place was kind of empty and quiet. Very casual feel in here. Go give them some love!

Duck and mushroom soup
Judy T.

Saw recs for this new veggie restaurant on Facebook and decided to give it a try. They have 10% off their first month of opening (Sept 2025). I took my Vietnamese in-laws and they were impressed! I was also pleasantly surprised because Vietnamese dishes I usually don't like (and my mother in law loves...) I actually really liked it! She loves the banh xeo and the crepe is usually too oily and soggy. Plus, bean sprouts aren't my favorite. The one here though had the right amount of crisp and flavor. Amazing! The duck and mushroom soup also was a nice surprise. Instead of coming with raw veggies like other noodle soups, it came with a side salad with sliced vege duck on top and a dipping sauce. The wonton noodle soup was a favorite as well. The wontons were ever flavorful and skin was thin. My MIL nodded approvingly telling me that she can tell they use fresh noodles for the yellow noodle. Not previously dried! We tried their noodle salad with egg roll too. The egg rolls were also very good and freshly made. Everything was good! My kids loved the food too and the waitresses were friendly. They have people that speak Viet, Canto, Mandarin, some English. The interior seems to have been renovated prior to opening. It's clean. My MIL wants to go back before the grand opening discount stops. She's a fan! So am I! We can now both agree on something! Jk jk.

Very nice homey place. Clean and well lit and plenty of parking. Menu offers a good variety. Portion sizes are generous; especially the side vegetables. The veggies are super fresh and plentiful. The taste for each dish are quite bold and matches to a meat version. We enjoyed all of our dishes. I especially enjoyed the bitter melon soup. There were about 6-7 pieces and the 'meat' inside the bitter melon was just like the real deal. The Bi cuon was huge and really stuffed! They even provided 5 bowls of fish sauce! Very generous indeed! What a gem - Will definitely return!!

There is not a lot of vegan Vietnamese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley area and I am so glad that KH Veggie Life just opened up. My family and I have eaten here three times since they opened a few weeks ago. Their prices are so affordable especially for vegan food. The dishes we ordered were really tasty: bun bo hue, banh cuon, bun rieu, vermicelli with egg rolls and grilled "pork", and banh hoi with bo la lot. You have to try their dipping sauces; they are so yummy! Food came out a little slowly but it is understandable since they just opened and my family was a big group of 15 people. This is a family-run restaurant and the ladies who run it are so friendly and hospitality. Come out and try this restaurant and help out a female-run business.

I came here for brunch after taking my son to the dentist, with all of my immediate family. KH Veggie recently opened up in Monterey Park, with a wide variety of various Vietnamese vegetarian dishes. Given the variety and how close it was, we had to give it a try. The restaurant staff were super nice and attentive. The restaurant itself was quite small, but clean. We had vegetarian pho, vegetarian chicken stir fry, and stir fried egg noodles. I loved the stir fried chicken which had a mild kick to it. The pho had various vegetarian "meats" such as spam, tofu, and "fish" cake. The stir fried noodles were awesome too. The restaurant served complimentary dessert with red bean at the end. The portions were quite generous, and we had copious left overs to take home. Overall, very solid vegetarian restaurant that I would come back to.

Front of the location

First time here tried the lemon grass chicken with rice to go. I got my food to go but it was made fresh and it didn't take long (10 minutes). The food was very tasty, well seasoned. Gonna have to try all their dishes and they have a lot to pick from. The staff was very helpful with the menu. The place is very clean and well lit with lots of tables.

They are normally closed on Tuesdays but will be open on full moon/ new moon days

Man this place is over due for a review. Me and the fam loves this place when we want to eat vegetarian food. Super flavorful! We ordered bun rieu, bun bo hue, banh cuon, lemon grass chicken with rice, pan fried rice noodles and veggie squid with basil. Every dish was so yummy. Although I love their banh xeo, roasted pork and shredded pork rolls. But these were also so good! Will come back and try the other stuff on the menu next time. Also they are open on Tuesdays that fall on "ram" days which is full moon/new moon days.

A friend was visiting from out of state and is vegetarian, I have heard of this place from family,…read morebut was excited to try their dishes. We came with a group on a saturday and they were able to seat us immediately - plenty of parking in the large plaza where the Hat and Shiki Buffet is (previously hometown buffet location). All of the items on the menu were intriguing, but I was eyeballin' the salt and pepper one and the fried tofu. My buddy got the lemongrass "chicken" and also the curry with bread. Since we were eager to try the different types of food, we did a family style and that was the best decision. We also got eggplant, and the rice cake/egg. I thought the rice cake looked underwhelming, but our entire group had a consensus and voted that as the top fave of the night. Everything was super tasty and we left happy and full and with leftovers! Super excited to return and to recommend to others. I look forward to come back to try some of the other items such as the "beef" noodle soup or the bun rieu or pho! I also appreciate that some of the dishes came with rice included -we actually ended up with too much rice, but perfect for leftovers the next day. Upon checking out, there was delicious thing by the cash register that was green and resembled a bundt cake in slices. It was labled mochi pandan, and it was AMAZING. so spongy, so delicious and a little sweet. Perfect end of the night that my buddy got one to go right after. It was made fresh and you can tell by how soft it was. I appreciate that this restaurant has vegetarian versions of common vietnamese and chinese dishes. They all were delicious and unique and did not feel too oily or heavy. They look and taste like meat and also the sauces were 100% on point. Thank you Happy Buddha!!

Had an early lunch on a Sunday here…read more The menu is vegetarian, however most dishes can be made vegan except for those like the egg noodles, or egg soup. We order a mix of items and shared.

Dropped by to grab some dinner and grabbed 3 items: their orange chicken, tom yum noodle soup, and their pad thai. OOOF their dishes were like an average of $18 each?? After we got the food we waited outside and it's a shared parking lot with other businesses and I saw a rat literally ran across in front of me the minute I stepped out the door! The worker came by and shut the door all the way so it didn't come in but it surprised me! Can't fault them because this is outside in the public parking lot and the lot is small and smelled pretty gross, like old trash. Not sure I want to smell that before getting my food so we opted to go wait in our car. Once it got closer to time we went in to get our food and came home to eat. They're a Thai restaurant, I hear the staff talking in Thai so I HAVE to assume that the Thai food we got would be good right?? Their Tom Yum noodle soup is YUMMY. So flavorful and enjoyable! It was our favorite! But the orange chicken.. kinda bland.. and same goes for the pad thai :( Portion size not bad but still price is steep for the quality of food they provide. I don't think I'll be back unless I was craving for Tom Yum, but I would rather fly back to Thailand and have it there

The chicken stays crispy for a long time and reheats nicely as leftovers. Everything we've ordered is really good and crave-worthy. We got the lucky catsu, curry catsu, crispy shrimp, spam masubi, catsu masubi, orange chicken, crispy chicken. Top two favorites are lucky and curry catsu. Small things I'd personally wish to change is that the onion is too strong in the macaroni salad. Wish it wasn't in there period. And the rice is a little on the dryer side and it sticks to the container- so when you scrape up the last bits of rice, you could be eating the paper from the container. I like that they use compostable containers though!! But yeah the rice is on the harder side especially as leftovers. But whatever, their main items are bomb and makes me not care about anything else. Service is quick! Note: it is not a sit down restaurant. You order (ahead) and park on the street and call them to let them know you're outside. They'll bring the food out. Reception isn't great outside fyi. I've been here 3 times and never last long enough to get a photo before digging in. There are two other vegan restaurants right next to it, same concept - order and pick up. Great for different options if one is craving Mexican from Cena or hot dogs from All franks.

I'll be upfront: I'm an omnivore and a big fan of meat, so I don't walk into vegetarian restaurants…read moreexpecting to be blown away. Thien Tam Vegetarian Restaurant proved me completely wrong. The standout dish for me was the vegetarian Bún Bò Huế, and honestly this is where they won me over. The broth was deeply flavorful, rich, and aromatic with that signature Huế spice and lemongrass heat. It had real depth and complexity, not a watered-down substitute version. The plant-based proteins had great texture and absorbed the flavors beautifully, to the point where I never felt like anything was missing. This wasn't "good vegetarian food." This was just excellent Vietnamese food, period. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the balance of spice, savory, and brightness was spot on. Even as someone who regularly eats traditional Bún Bò Huế, I was genuinely impressed by how satisfying and comforting this version was. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it an easy place to relax and enjoy the meal. If you're vegetarian, Thien Tam is a must-visit. If you're an omnivore who thinks vegetarian food won't hit the same, I assure you the food here will make you rethink that assumption.

I usually only order pho when I go to viet places so I wanted to expand my tastebuds and try other things. We came around 9:30 AM on Saturday morning and they open at 8 AM. Parking wasn't an issue as they have a decent-sized lot. We were greeted by friendly waiters and ordered the following items: 1. Bun Hue: 6/10 Standard noodles with veggie meats. Nothing too surprising but this was one of their more popular items according to Yelp. I appreciated the amount of veggies. 2. Banh Xeo: 7/10 This was really interesting! I didn't expect the dish to look like that but I enjoyed eating the rice noodle patties. They were delicious and the veggies were all charred well. The "gravy" was a bit weird but I used it as a sauce for the patties. 3. Pho Ap Chao: 7/10 Never had a vegan omelette before so this was a first! Lots of bean sprouts and daikon (?) radish inside. The exterior was crispy and tasted like curry? Very filling dish and they also provide lettuce/fish sauce that we eat it together with. Overall, it was a good place to try and I appreciated how they let us sit for almost 3 hours since there weren't any other customers until 11ish. Felt very healthy afterwards since it was all veggies and price wise, it's decent.

Delightfully understated atmosphere with unique tiles throughout the decor, and we loved that we could hear each other talk and enjoy each other's company. Our server was amazing, she was so knowledgeable while being personable and extremely funny. I assume she's the cook's wife based on the other reviews - I arrived a little after my aunts, so I didn't get a full introduction since they had already secured a table and had ordered some drinks while looking over the menu. I had my eye on 3 different meat dishes - the Roasted Duck Breast, the New Zealand Lamb, and the Angus Beef Ribeye Steak - and my aunts also had each picked 1 of those, so we went family style, and it did not disappoint!! The chef knows how to cook each type of meat to perfection, and the searing pans are doing exactly what they need to be doing! The Roast Duck Breast was AMAZING as cooked to the recommended medium, with delicious crispy skin. The Angus Beef Ribeye Steak at medium rare was as tasty as it was gorgeous! And the New Zealand Lamb was PERFECTION, down to the bone. We also got the gourmet macaroni and cheese as an add-on side, since all the meals come with mashed potatoes and various veggies, and I was in heaven! As someone who used to work at the Disney Parks and frequented the steakhouses and other fine dining both here and in Orlando, Sage Bistro is giving Disney a run for its money when it comes to high-quality meat dishes! The prices reflect both the cut of the meats and the skill of preparation, with it averaging to about $50 each across the 3 of us, which is pretty reasonable for top-tier quality! The only thing I had to be careful about was that many of the dishes have mushrooms, and my throat gets itchy if I eat most mushrooms, so I had to avoid those dishes. During our meal, when I mentioned it to our server for future visits, she was great at noting which dishes could completely be modified to have no mushrooms while also being realistic about acknowledging the dishes that cannot be, which sadly includes the Braised Short Rib that sounds out of this world. But I can have the Beef Rib Soup, so I definitely want to try that next because I WILL BE BACK!!! They also offer takeaway, and were very generous in giving us each a coupon card to use for ordering through their website.
