So I went here on "accident" thinking it was a standard Viet joint. To my surprise, it was a vegan Vietnamese restaurant. I decided to try it out anyways. I was so impressed by the menu at first site. They had some dishes you only find in home cooking or in Vietnam. I tried the Canh Chua and Hot Pot "Fish". I was blown away by the flavors! The textures were very close. It was a little hard to tell if I should order up at the front counter or wait for service. I did get good service when they came and waited on me. The atmosphere is quiet and inviting. I was impressed by the whole setting! By the way, excellent portions! I was given a huge bowl of rice to supplement both of my entree dishes. I can't wait to come back and bring family/friends with next time. read more

Thanh Luong Vegetarian - G 1. Braised Fish with Pepper - Vietnamese Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Thanh Luong Chay was the perfect comfort meal after a long day at the office! I ordered takeout and got the spring rolls and spicy beef soup, and everything was delicious. I especially loved the crunchy wheat shred addition in the spring rolls - such a great texture and a unique touch. The variety of vegan meats is really impressive, and I enjoyed trying the different flavors and textures throughout the meal. Everything was so flavorful and satisfying. The staff was very friendly when I picked up my order, which made the experience even better. I'm excited to come back and try more dishes! read more

Ordered a quick meal one night - some spring rolls and Pho - and it was so fresh and so good we hit them up for lunch the next day. The second visit did not disappoint! Started with the Enoki Calamari and Spring Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn) - excellent! Then for entrees we ordered: Vegetarian Banh Mi Sandwich (Banh Mi Bi), Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Huế), and the Combination Fried Rice (Cơm Chiên Thập Cẩm). Everything was amazing. The Tofu in all the meals was prepared in a way I had never had before, and it was beyond good. The portions are HUGE! The service was fantastic. This is a must for any vegan or non-vegan- this is food done right. We were so amazed by how good it all looked we dove in before taking pics and then couldn't pause to take any - it is that good. read more

Love Thanh Luong! Every dish I have tried is amazing and super flavorful. I got the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and it was so tasty. Not very spicy on its own but they have chili oil, jalapeños, and sriracha you can add in. Super flavorful and filling. Also tried some of the Thai Fried Rice which was delicious. It's hard to pick something from the menu because all options are great. Service is also super polite and friendly. Come visit! read more

By far the best and only vegetarian Bun Bo Hue in town! I've been looking everywhere for a good vegetarian Bun Bo Hue and this place nails it. The broth is flavorful and spicy, the noodles are perfect, and the toppings are fresh especially the fried onion. It's comforting, authentic, and completely plant-based. A rare find and an instant favorite! read more

The biggest problem with this restaurant is that it is located in Minnetonka and I live in Saint Paul. If it was closer to me, I swear I would be there on a weekly basis. Years ago, I backpacked through Asia and ate a number of Buddhist monasteries that served only vegan food. Thanh Luong reminds me of those places. The staff was super helpful at walking through the menu and picking out an assortment of items, including appetizers and desserts. It is a unique and flavorful dining experience. read more

Thanh Luong Vegetarian - Vietnamese Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Vegetarian restaurant is very rare in mid west, a good one is even more precious. Thanh Luong is one of those that the local vegetarian and vegans don't want to miss. The summer rolls, fried noodles, vermicelli bowl are delicious. The braised eggplant and mushroom was a bit too sweet, and the eggplants were cut way too big for the flavors to be soaked in. Services are great. Price is beyond reasonable. Portion is very generous. Would love to come back more often! read more

i was looking forward to dining here for several months. the anticipation that led up to finally getting the chance to eat there was so great. Then I get there. there are no other customers there. the server didn't like that I asked so many questions. I never got offered or received a drink. I ruined his lunch as all he did was gobble down his own food at the table he was eating at and never looked up and never checked on me. it was another server that had to bring me the to go box and bill. i was highly disappointed to say the least. Never again! diners beware. read more

VEGAN REVIEWER! Really enjoyed my last two visits here and making it my spot! Had the bun hue the first time and then banh cảnh the second time. The bun hue was really delicious. The only thing I'd change is add more rice noodles. The banh cảnh was so delicious with these vegan fish cakes that reminded me of my experiences of can tho food. THERES these wonton crackers which have egg, just heads up. The broth itself is not the goopy kind I grew up on, but so delicious. And it's a big proportion! Would come back! read more

Sweet people, awesome service, and delicious food! What more can you ask for? My family and I journeyed over to the area because I love the idea of a vegan Vietnamese restaurant. We tried the canh chua, ca kho, bun rieu, and bun hue. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasted like the real deal. While it's hard to replicate bun (bo) hue to a vegan version, they make a delicious version that has all the fixings that a traditional meat bowl would. I don't know how they make all their mock foods but it's really good and textured way too well. I wish this place wasn't so far from me but definitely a great spot to get some vegan Vietnamese food! read more

Friendly and prompt service. Very busy with done in and take-outs. My daughter enjoyed her Vietnamese udon noodles soup. Need to have a little soy sauce but it was still tasty. I loved the water spinach/hollow vegetable sauteed in garlic. It was go6ne cooking to the finest. I could eat it everyday if I live closer. The braised tofu in black pepper was ok. It was too sweet and not enough spice for me. I didn't like the vegetables because it was so much of it and it felt like it was from frozen. The ambiance is dark lighting and loud with small dining area. Will make it back when I'm in area again even though it's a little pricey. read more

Thanh Luong Vegetarian - C 4. Vegan Shrimp Pho, A4. Two Piece Vegan Grilled Pork Rolls, G 14. Combination Vermicelli Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

I ordered the Broken Rice (cóm tam) with rice, veggie pork, veggie shredded pork and baked egg meatloaf. It was a delicious introduction to vegetarian meat substitutes. I love to go to new places and try new things. My meal was quite enjoyable. My guest ordered the Combination vermicelli bowl, prepared in traditional Vietnamese style. I recommend this dish as my go-to Vietnamese dish that never disappoints anywhere I go. He thought it was delicious as one might expect. I couldn't quite go "all stars" because the service, although pleasant, required that we had to go to the cashier counter to obtain take away containers and to pay our bill. It would have been nice had someone asked if we needed anything else. But I was glad I chose this place as it was my birthday and I was looking for something different. read more

Still in grand opening mode. Quick and friendly service. Beautifully presented food. My kid said it was the best orange tofu. We all had leftovers from our food. I will be back! read more

Thanh Luong Vegetarian - Red noodle "chicken " curry - Vietnamese Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

See all

"When we saw this place online, I was initially reluctant to visit because I'm not a big fan of tofu, and I've never eaten anything without meat. However, I decided to give it a try, thinking it's always a good idea to expand your palate and try new things. Upon arrival, we found the restaurant to be quaintly decorated, nothing fancy but still nice. Once we sat down, the servers greeted us warmly and were very helpful and attentive. We started with veggie egg rolls, which came out quickly. I ordered the red noodle curry with veggie chicken, and my fiancée ordered the spicy veggie beef noodle Bún bò huế. She said it was delicious and flavorful, but not very spicy. My entree was also delicious, surprised as I was that I enjoyed sweet potato, which was included in the curry. The veggie chicken was also a pleasant surprise and went well with everything else in the dish. The only downside was that my fiancée asked for a water refill, but it never arrived. The service started out great but fell short towards the end. Nonetheless, I'd like to mention that the veggie egg rolls were also very tasty. We plan to return since we see potential in this restaurant, but they need to improve their service from start to finish." read more

Had to come back and try more stuff. Everything was as good as before or better! Service is great and they're very helpful if you have any questions. It's a small dining room and gets pretty slammed with both walk-in and to-go orders around 5-5:30 so you might wait a bit to get your food but it's worth it. The veggie pork was amazing and had the texture of pork belly. Crispy "skin" and the "fat" had the QQ you want. Pulled apart in layers just like the real thing. Was amazing and I'd get it again. I was surprised it didn't come with rice. The "Five Salad Sampler" was my favorite dish of the night. Loads of different textures, flavors, and color. Every bite was loaded with flavor and was big enough to be a meal or two. I would order this as an entree. The rice crackers are always a winner in my book. Lemongrass tofu was ok. A little soggy and a bit sweet for my taste but not bad at all. Was hoping for something more like the spicy tofu from Pho Mai. So far it's a 3-way tie between the sampler salad, sweet and sour soup, and vegan pork for my favorite dishes. Thanh Luong has taken up there spot as my favorite Vietnamese place; vegetarian or not. We'll definitely be back to try even more stuff soon. read more

Why haven't I known about this gem of a restaurant? Although I don't keep vegan nor am I a vegetarian, I am a true believer of Thanh Luong! Outstanding Food! We had veggie stir fry and Pho. The stir fry came in a deep fried noodle nest the size of a platter. The Pho had imitation pork. There was no difference and the Pho was fabulous! My friend had a soy allergy and the waiter came back 3 times to double check on how they were going to make the stir fry. A real gem of a restaurant. read more

I was in disbelief that I stumbled onto a vegetarian vietnamese restaurant.. I crave all the dishes that they have on their menu and let me tell u. everything was amazing!!!

I commented and said whoever the chef is knows what they are doing bekuz if u can make vegan food fire then u know what ur doing 10/10 high recommend.. everything we ordered everything we got was fire. read more

I went back to TL and I'm so glad I did!! They have improved so much! Every vegan item on the menu has a lovely little leaf icon which means so much to those of us that don't eat animals. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They answered all our questions with confidence. We loved our food! I was so excited to have egg rolls because every other restaurant only has meat ones. I ordered combination vegetable. There were the cutest baby bok choy which felt like a little surprise. My husband ordered combo vermicelli bowl with vegan pork. He called out deliciouz.. The portions were huge. We both had leftovers..Two people could definitely split the bowl. I'm hoping that this place thrives and expands. read more

See all

Thanh Luong quickly became one of my favorite restaurants despite me being an omnivore and the restaurant just recently opening/only having had their food twice. Most vegetarian food is either a 1) an afterthought, either tofu or canned mock duck is substituted for meat with no real effort, or 2) junk food (hamburgers, fried chick'n tenders or sandwiches, fried cauliflower buffalo wings, etc.) Thanh Luong genuinely put thought and effort into developing their menu and dishes using a variety of "meat substitutes" with different textures and flavors (yay, yuba/tofu skin, taro, and mushrooms!) which definitely don't make me miss pork/beef/chicken and truly do the Vietnamese flavors/dishes/expected textures justice. Their menu has most all of the dishes that you'd find on any non-vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant menu plus some! The portions are generous and most dishes contain a variety of elements - veggies, different "meat substitutes," carbs (rice or noodles,) flavors, and textures. My favorite dishes, that I could eat once a week or more, are the "Five Salad Samplers" (made up of mushrooms, tofu, carrots, napa cabbage, lotus, bell peppers, and homemade dressing) and the "House Special Broken Rice" or "Cơm Tấm" (veggie pork, shredded pork, and baked egg meat loaf served with broken rice, cucumber and tomato slices, and pickled carrots and daikon) which is my go-to at non-vegetarian Vietnamese restaurants. The only criticisms (but really due to personal preference) I have are the veggie fish sauce and peanut sauce are a bit too sweet and the spicy isn't spicy enough (I'm not a native Minnesotan .) The second (and maybe the first) can be remedied, if you eat in - there's sriracha and chili oil on each table. Both my husband and and I can't wait to go back! read more

Wow, flavorful, fresh and delish! We were looking for something new to try and noticed this restaurant that replaced a Thai restaurant we used to go to. All the options are vegetarian and so flavorful, we didn't miss the meat! Service is prompt and helpful. Ambience is cozy and cheery for a five in the suburbs. Only ok thing is it takes a long time to get bubble tea. As in, we were finished with our meal before it came out. Overall, amazing food. We will be back! read more

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant! We stopped in for dinner and chose to sit inside, although the sunny patio was tempting. Service was prompt and attentive. Everything we tried impressed us. I loved the texture on my stir fried chili lemongrass tofu, and the spring rolls and steamed dumplings were excellent (killer peanut sauce!) My friend had the braised eggplant with mushrooms and in addition to being tasty, the dish it was served in was gorgeous. Portions are large and you'll definitely have leftovers! The owner stopped by to talk with us and shared some of his veggie-based cooking techniques, including how he makes his silken tofu with ginger (thank you!) His Kindness and generosity shows in the food This will definitely become one of our regular spots. read more

I prefer to eat plant-based whenever I can so I came here on recommendation of friends. They were not wrong! I was extremely pleased with the spring rolls and the Pho. I've tried Pho in many places and this is now at the top of my list. My all time favorite is Bonjour Vietnam in Paris. Now I don't have to wait for my next trip. The broth was savory, the noodles were perfect and all the other ingredients were full of flavor. I left satisfied after a delicious meal. I'll certainly be back often! Don't hesitate to try it and don't let the vegetarian concept scare you away. You will be pleasantly surprised at how good it is! read more

A great place for all vegetarians, vegans, and just food lovers. The food is great, fresh and flavorful. We stopped for lunch and this was our first visit to this restaurant located in a faceless strip mall on Cedar Lake Road. It is not a fancy place, but there were a lot of beautiful Vietnamese decorations on the walls. The service is friendly and quick. We ordered a portion of spring rolls with peanut sauce and a braised eggplant and mushroom stew with rice . We split both dishes and it was quite adequate for us. Both dishes were wonderful. The prices are very reasonable: the spring rolls were $6 for two pieces and the stew was $14. We are not vegetarians per se but I may become one with the food like this :) read more

The staff were friendly; ambience was relaxing and none pretentious; ingredients were fresh; there were a variety of "meats" in all the entrees; overall it was absolutely great! I'm a huge fan of vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese cuisine and have eaten at various restaurants in the US and Vietnam, and this is one of the best. We shared the egg rolls which were crispy on the outside and warm inside w/ taro and other ingredients. I had Bun Bo Hue (spicy "beef" noodle) which were filled w/ fresh herbs and different tofu-based "meats," and the broth was spicy-enough. The sesame balls were fantastic as well; not overly sweet. I will definitely come back when I visit MN again. read more

Thanh Luong Vegetarian - Bun Bo Hue (Spicy "beef" noodle) - Vietnamese Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Just went for dinner today, and thinking about it, this might be the closest equivalent you can get to Buddhist tourist temple food in Minnesota. It's a clean, efficient strip mall location. I had the Vietnamese pepper 'fish' in a clay pot; partner had the orange tofu. We shared and the orange tofu was good, but the fish blew my mind. Incredibly rich broth of soy sauce, mushrooms, scallions; Seaweed is used to replicate fish skin, wrapped around some sort of gluten or soy based mock meat. Rice was delicious; Summer rolls (with shredded mock pork and lettuce) were texturally dry but tasty. If you want hot tea, it's served in a nice pot, loose leaf green. This place is a winner. read more
