    Bun bo hue was great!! The best vegan version of this soup I've had, including the other vegan places you can find in Garden Grove and Westminster area. Variety of vegan meats, mushroom, flavorful broth with plenty of lemongrass flavor. Green Thai iced tea is great. Accurate tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. A good compliment to their food options. They have a lot of other dishes too. Employees were friendly. They have a few tables inside for dine in.

    If you LOVE Vietnamese food , get your ASS to the OC asap ! Orange Grove is a well ---- known Cali - Vietnamese Mecca of incredible Vietnamese cuisine & Saigon Vegan is just one of the treasures. Crazy flavor and Spice upon request you will crave indefinitely. This isn't just a " vegan " lovers spot , it's so good your carnivorous friends and veggie curious friends will enjoy . The portobello mushroom appetizer has THE PERFECT CRUNCH and the Pho ( spicy and regular ) are both delicious. Honestly you can't really order wrong here . The vegan ham is made "in house ". You can't beat the service either . The family ran business also owns the non - vegan Vietnamese restaurant down the road ... "fire pho " . One of the best vegan Vietnamese coffees I've ever had !

    A1. Portobello Sliders

    Tucked in the McFadden Shop strip. A vast variety of menu items to choose from! Out out time - 10 minutes Definitely recommend their Portobello Tenders 5/5 perfectly crispy and paired well with the aioli sauce. The SGV banh mi was excellent. It's very dense sized sandwich. I don't know if the hash brown is meant to be a filler, but I had to remove it only because of contrast. Ended up eating half a sandwich and 2 tenders which filled my appetite. Would come back even though I don't eat vegan food often.

    Oh wow the portabello tenders are divine!! ($8) There is about five large tenders in an order. Juicy, crisp, and flavorful and take it up a notch with the garlic aioli sauce. My only comment is that it's a bit too crisp, fried any longer and it would've cut the roof of my mouth.

    Fabulous Flan
    Aleece T.

    I had the stir fry garlic noodles with tofu and veggies, passion fruit juice and the fabulous flan. All yummy and fabulous! There wasn't anything left on my noodle plate. I should have taken a second dish to go for later! There were plenty of seats on a rainy Saturday at 2pm. The staff were very friendly and I'd definitely come here again.

    Fried mushrooms

    A hidden gem or best kept secret (?). A quiet and cozy Vietnamese/French influenced spot with friendly service tucked away in an area where there are several vegetarian options. It is said by those that claim to know that the key to widely adopted vegetarian/vegan food is the seasoning, texture, and attention to detail in preparation. This is true of Saigon Vegan (meat substitutes made in-house). Even if you are not a vegan/vegetarian, you never miss the 'meat' experience. We lean towards the Lo Mein ( better that most non- vegan/vegetarian versions), the French influenced 'meatball beef' stew with carrot and potato - so tasty that you have to 'clean' the bowl with your french bread side, and the breaded mushrooms (legendary) - if you know, you know. I have a personal obsession for their Bah Mi sandwich as well. Its not traditional as its made with thinly sliced 'deli meat' - again, more French influenced. The first time I had it, my wife didn't tell me that it was vegan until it was utterly devoured - and I didn't care as it stands on its own as just 'damn good' An open mind leads to a well-lived life.

    This was our second time here, and I was happy to have found this place again based on our first experience. The deep fried portobello mushrooms with aioli sauce is to die for! Amazing crispy deep fry that it tastes just like fried chicken, lol. We also had the best noodle dish with homemade tofu! It was delightful! The flan (made of soy), tasted better than the egg flan, not even joking! We got to meet the friendly staff of Daisy Duke & Vy...whom we found genuinely friendly and helpful. This place is a hidden gem in Garden Grove for Vegan!s!

    THE ABSOLUTE BEST VEGAN FLAN!
    V T.

    A solid 5/5! Every dish I have tried has been absolutely delicious. The food is fresh and consistently excellent. The staff is always kind, helpful, patient while ordering, and efficient with the food. The Portobello Tenders are a must-try, but the standout for me, especially as someone with a sweet tooth, is the Flan. I try flan at every restaurant that offers it, and this is hands down the best vegan flan I have ever had. The texture and sweetness are absolutely superb. Highly recommend!

    One of the best Vietnamese vegan restaurants! It's a small family owned spot. Service is great! I've been here a couple of times now and every dish I've tried has been delicious! No complaints! My fav appetizer is the portobello mushrooms! So good!

    Sharona M.

    Amazing! Best vegan food I've had in a while. I was recommended to come try SAIGON because I was in the area and I would make the hour plus drive just to have this food again. It's a lovely small family owned business and the service was great! They really treat you like family! The portobello mushroom appetizer was outstanding and the soups were fantastic too! We ended up taking a bunch of items to go and they were great when we ate them later too! The restaurant itself is quant and in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking!

    Second time coming here and everything was amazing. A must order are the portobello mushrooms - perfectly breaded and crispy and paired with the aioli is a match made in heaven! For my entree I had the bun thit nuong with egg rolls and it was so hearty but light. I don't know how they make vegan nuoc mam but it was delicious! Service is always great and it's a quaint space in general :)

    Portobello Tenders with Garlic Aioli
    Jennifer D.

    I'm not vegan, but I tried this place with my vegan cousin and was genuinely impressed. The Portobello Tenders were super crispy and full of flavor, and the garlic aioli was the perfect match. The prices are affordable, portions are filling, and you can even add spice to dishes like the Stir Fry Garlic Noodles for an extra kick. Even if you're not vegan, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

    Yih R.

    The owner had a big smile when we came in. This family restaurant immediately reminded me of my own home. We liked all the dishes ordered. The soups were so delicious and nutritious. And the crispy tofu was also fantastic. I will come back to support and try more dishes. The place is also cute and family style. You will find some interesting signs in the bathroom as well. Good spot!!!
