One of the best Asian vegetarian/vegan authentic cuisines in Sacramento region!!
Seriously, this place is no joke.
It's a small discreet hole in the wall restaurant with limited seating but an infinite amount of possibilities and wonder!
It's kind of confusing at first. So basically you walk in and there's a whole bunch of food items laid out with no labeling, no idea what anything is. Then there's a menu on top with English. The items do not correspond to menu (I think?). But they do have a menu on the wall behind the cash register that has soups and discrete meals (like pho, bun bo hue, and rice plates. I forgot to get a photo of it.)
Basically you can either get some ready made food with write rice and 2-3 entrees or order some hot food that will be ready in <10 minutes.
Everything is vegetarian or vegan. They make their own tofu and they have a wide variety of tofu.
Pho: I LOVE pho so i have a pretty high standard. Let me tell ya, there is a surprising depth to the broth with a decent amount of tofu/protein in it. They give you a handful of bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil.
Bun bo hue, vermicelli, and the entree was also good and very flavorful. The prices are excellent for the portion size. You don't think you're getting a lot, but the tofu is jam packed with protein so you get full easily.
Just beware, this place is CASH ONLY. And limited seating. They also sell their tofu and some vegetarian sauces and other food itens. Also, the workers may have limited English knowledge so your service may be different based on who you're talking to.
I definitely want to come back and try more vegan options as I had a blast trying all the different entree options!!!!!!
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.

What an interesting experience! It's a Vietnamese Take Away shop with a small Viet grocery store. I was unsure what was vegan and what was vegetarian but any "meat" is faux. The first woman helping me was very sweet but couldn't speak English so well, but another English speaking employee came to help. They were very generous with their portions and the food was great. It is quick, cheap, and tasty! It may take a few times of ordering to get it down, I was a bit out of my element at first but still very happy with my experience. We ordered all kinds of amazing tofu, veggie bbq pork, and their veggie beef noodle soup. The soup was my favorite thing!! I recommend taking it all home and getting a bit creative. Everything needed to be heated up and we decided to fry up the vegan pork to make it a bit crispier. Make sure to come early so you have access to their best offerings! Over all it was really good food and sweet staff and I recommend this place! I do wish they would switch from styrofoam to a more sustainable take away packaging though!
This place is must-try. It’s a good place for vegetarian with various tasty dishes.
Delicious, cheap, expansive vegetarian options. I tried it on a whim, and I'm glad I did. As good as Anna's Vegan Cafe. But bring cash!
This is a great place that only serves vegetarian food. Highly recommend the fried tofu. If possible ask them to fry it for you fresh. It will take longer but it's worth the wait.
Buddhist vegan spot. Large affordable portions. A little salty, but tasty. The staff speaks limited English, but it doesn't stop them from being very nice and welcoming. Get the banana egg roll.
I believe the lady who helped me was the owner. She was so nice. The Pho was delicious and everything is vegetarian. They also make their own tofu which she had me taste along with the "chicken". It was awesome. I will be making this place a regular stop for lunch!
This is the hidden gem of all hidden gems in my mind. The food is so fresh and your body can tell it was made with care and patience - I don’t feel the grogginess I might feel consuming such seemingly rich and flavorful food from another place. Not to mention the fact that it’s ridiculously cheap and the people who run the place are the nicest.
stopped into this little deli style store that doubles as a restaurant and had the best service. the ladies working were very kind and gave us suggestions on what to get. it's cash only, which we didn't know, and luckily had enough to get our meals but not enough to get their soymilk. Well a very sweet lady who was eating behind us actually bought us a half gallon of soymilk on her way out. It made our day and our trip from AZ to Sac complete. Will certainly return if in the area!
Great cheap place for vegan/vegetarian foods. Yes, there is a language barrier there but we go there for food not socializing unless you speak Vietnamese. Their foods taste much better and healthier than the language itself. Six pieces of stuffed tofu for a buck!
my favorite restaurant in sacramento! they make all their own tofu and soymilk. bun ca ri and bun bo hue are so good and flavorful. the bo bia and the goi cuong are incredible. every menu item except for the waffles and the ca ri are vegan !!! the cafeteria style dishes are the best earlier in the morning. they serve hot tofu pudding too. cash only, inexpensive and casual. simple and honest food. ordering can be a bit chaotic at busy times, just be patient, everyone is very kind and there is usually at least one english speaker to help out those that don't know vietnamese. also -- there's a few market items like vegetarian fish sauce and mushroom seasoning powder that you can buy to cook at home! i love huong sen!!!
Inexpensive, quick place for a vegan to get a bite. I came here a lot when I was a student at Sac State. My favorite is the Hue noodle soup, lemongrass and mushroom tofu, and the spring rolls (which are cheaper here than next door).
Yummy lemongrass tofu and great place to get fresh tofu that tastes delicious!
My first time getting food from there it's delicious I'm a vegan so they had a lot of stuff with tofu and vegetables it was fantastic will eat there again😋
Decor not 5 stars but vegan pho is, and all soups on the menu are good. Buffet food available. Very reasonable prices.

This place is so amazing, friendly customer service, along with good vegan food , but what got me the most Is how clean they are , the lady made sure to clean her hands after handling my money to get me a fork and still didnt touch the fork she got it with a napkin , they dont even do that at chipotle 🙏🏼
