My friends and I were looking for vegetarian options and what's better than Vietnamese food! What I…read morereally appreciate the cuisine is that so many dishes can be transformed into vegetarian friendly meals. Food was yummy. We got a few plates to share amongst each other. Looking forward to future visits. Tangs Asian Vegetarian is located in East San Jose. The parking lot is spacious so unless it is a busy day at the plaza, parking should be easy. The interior is still in the works so it is plain but is clean.

I really respect how the owner handled the situation. He personally reached out to apologize for…read morethe service issues and welcomed us back to give them another chance. On our return visit, the difference was noticeable. The staff was much more attentive, service was smooth, and there were no long wait times. The food was great as always, but what stood out most was the owner's attitude. He wasn't defensive or dismissive. Instead, he genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience and making improvements. That level of accountability is rare and definitely appreciated.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I usually order the lemon chicken pho (vegetarian), and the broth is light with a fresh citrus flavor that's super comforting. The spring rolls and egg rolls are always on my table, and the Vietnamese salads are fresh and well balanced. The Thai fried rice has a slight spice to it -- just enough heat to make it flavorful without overpowering the dish. The food is thoughtfully prepared, tasty, and never feels like an afterthought vegetarian option. I always enjoy eating here.

Three of us shared: crispy spring rolls, 4 - pronounced crunch and substantial contents and orangey dipping broth pleasant. Potstickers 4 - wonderfully crisp outside, contents had nice texture and brown dipping broth a good accompaniment. Pad Thai and Crispy? Chow Mein - tossup on which we liked best. Liked smooth texture of pad and tofu strips but one didn't care for the shrimp looking yam crescents. Loved the crunchy peanuts and wouldn't mind a bit more. Loved the mushrooms in chow mein. BBQ tempeh bowl with kale and carrots over rice - enjoyed spicy tempeh classic flavor. Shared Cacao pecan cake and New York cheezcake. Loved the subfloor pops and silky texture of both.

I was informed that the patio is open and to order using a QR code at one of the tables in the patio. You have to sign in and create an account to order. It took me a minute to order. I wanted to try their specialty dishes especially because they have mushroom dishes and soy protein dishes. But by the time I was able to figure out how to order and sign up, I was pressed for time to order a meal and ended up ordering crispy spring rolls. Once your order is placed, you wait for a text to let you know your order is ready. Then I have to pick up at the window. Spring rolls were okay. I really wanted to try the crispy oyster mushrooms or the lion mane mushroom dish. Or even the Sea Fruits plate but I wasn't going to have enough time to enjoy them. The patio was fine. A few picnic tables. You bus your own table at the end. Everything they used was biodegradable. I wish it was a better experience. The food looked delicious in pictures, but eating in an outdoor patio, ordering from a QR code, and picking up your food from the window made for a sad and sub par experience.

I was…read morevery surprised to see the exact same menu at the San Jose location versus the Bascom location. I got takeout this particular day and the stirfry I wanted they didn't have any more of that style, but the lady said there was a similar one that was better for takeout. I forget which one she recommended but I ordered that one as well as the mango salad and the Vegetarian Pho. Once I got to my aunts house and set up our lunches, I found out that the Pho was cold. I'm not too sure if that was due to me getting takeout or if they had not heated anything up that day. They didn't tell me anything ahead of time so I think that's a little odd to me. You would serve someone cold soup, even though they want to takeout at least without telling them first. Hee Nevertheless, the mango salad, stirfry dish, and Pho all tasted delicious once everything was heated up to the right temperature! We loved our food and I am happy. This location is still around!!

Happy end of 2025!…read more Delicious vegetarian Vietnamese food right here in East San Jose and it's soared to being one of the top spots I'd recommend for plant-based enthusiasts out there. They offer a lot of unique Viet dishes not commonly found at other restaurants, veggie or not. The menu doesn't explicitly mark whether something is or isn't vegan, but nearly all of the items are and you can ask to make sure. We ordered their Spring Rolls, Salted Fish Fried Rice, Chinese Spinach, and Lemongrass Fish (which also came with rice). The rolls were a fantastic start and came with a savory dipping sauce. The fried rice was bomb and definitely a staple at any Viet restaurant. I also really liked the fish even though the side rice felt like overkill, but we definitely took it home afterwards to avoid waste. So not only was everything great but the service was pretty quick and the majority Viet families dining here really shows its stamp of approval by the community it serves. Parking is the only headache here as the Asian lot is busy and packed especially during lunch. I ended up parking on the street outside since it was a nightmare hunting for a spot.

Somebody outside said we could come in and I realized it was a bar, but my friend and I were meeting up with some other people down the street first. The spot we went to meet them it was dead, so we actually walked back three blocks to good karma!! We were lucky that jazz band was still playing and apparently they play every Sunday from 7 PM through 9:30 PM!! They had a number of different beers on top as well as some bottled beers. I really want to come back and eat lunch here!! Sadly, they only had two red wines and no white wines. The red cab I had was tasty and worked fine for the evening, but mainly the live jazz band was my favorite part!! Great environment, good sound system, and amazing live jazz!! Not to mention the one bartender, a young lady who was running the whole joint by herself!! She kept everything clean and organized, and she was very patient with each customer that came up when they wanted to sample different beers! I will definitely be back!!

Absolutely one of the most unique spots in downtown San Jose. Fox Tale Fermentation Project somehow…read moremanages to feel like an experimental brewery and community gathering space all at once. The fermentation concept is woven into everything from the beers and botanical mocktails to the food and it actually works incredibly well. The drinks are creative without feeling gimmicky, and the flavors are layered and thoughtful. The food was surprisingly memorable too, especially how vegetable-forward dishes still felt rich and satisfying. The atmosphere has this warm, artsy, almost hidden-gem energy that makes you want to stay for hours. What really stands out is that the place feels intentional. You can tell the owners care deeply about craft, community, and creating an experience instead of just another brewery. Easily one of the coolest and most distinctive food/drink concepts in San Jose right now.

Fox Tale Fermentation is a small place like a Japanese ramen shop. My high school classmate suggestion this place and I thought she was vegetarian. I asked her why this place; she wanted to try it out but she's a meat eater. I'm down to try new places so we went. When we went, it was really crowded for a Thursday dinner time. A lady saw my cane and offer her table to sit at so I felt seen. You pretty much order at the front counter; you pour your own water. Front counter was so nice to us as we try to order. We got the funk salad and kombucha. We didn't order a lot because we wanted to try the place. When we got to our table, it was near the door. Our funk salad came and it was hefty mf. It was a bowl of salad all right. So you know how I said earlier that I don't like vegetarian food? OMG I was amazed. The best salad I've eaten. The vinaigrette was so good; it was citrusy. My salad was cut into small pieces so it wasn't big that I need to cut it. The sweet potato was sauteed. The princess sauerkraut was so good. I don't like sauerkraut at all but it was divine. I never tried kombucha because I thought it was dirt tea. I was wrong. It has the fermented taste and I never knew. After trying it, it's not something I would order again. I liked how I was eating "healthy" food after I ate bad yesterday. I don't have that bad bloated feeling. It's very wheelchair friendly and restroom is unisex. The restroom is clean. The establishment is clean. I would go here again if I have a vegetarian visitor. This place rocks!

My favorite is the tofu dish that sort of looks like chicken/meat. I'm not really sure what it's called, but it's two dollars extra if you order it with a box. The texture is sort of like bean curd and mixing it so that the sauce combines with rice is so flavorful. The lemongrass tofu is very good as well with a strong lemongrass flavor. I've ordered the chow mein before as a side, but it's a little bit bland. The staff here mostly speak Vietnamese so it's a little hard to communicate sometimes, but I usually just get by with pointing to what I'd like. They're all very nice and patient though.

From the moment I stepped in, I had a feeling it was going to be a good experience. When you walk in, there's a food display in the front with windows where you can see what's being prepared. Once you're ready, you order at the counter and the staff member takes your order. I ordered the banh canh, and I must say it was very comforting. The flavor reminded me of something someone's grandma would make. It had such a homey feel, and every bite was really enjoyable. My husband ordered the bun rieu. He said the food was decent, but one thing he would critique is that the broth was a bit sweeter than expected. Usually bun rieu leans more toward the savory and slightly salty side, but here the broth was more on the sweet side, which he wasn't the biggest fan of. Overall, the service was excellent and the ambiance inside had a very clean, welcoming energy. We'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Stars are based on the overall experience.
