Bo De Tinh Tam Chay

My grandma showed me this place.There's a lot of seats inside including both booths and tables. The waiting area has a lot of free documents - typically bible stuff.There's a minimum amount to spend in order to use card. They do not accept Apple Pay!They serve authentic vegetarian Vietnamese food ranging from rice plates, noodles, soup, hot pot, appetizers, they have it all! I recommend getting:For noodles: bun Thaisour and flavorful! has a small kick to it but they offer fresh habanero chiliesFor rice: get an entree like bo luc lac or ca kho and get rice on the side!

I finally had the chance to visit this restaurant for the first time during this week for lunch :). Ambiance was calm, peaceful. There were spacious seating and service was friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the chao phu chuc (vegetarian fish porridge) and the banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe). The dishes were delicious, the banh xeo was crispy, and these came with beautiful fresh herbs which were plentiful. The sauces were not salty and paired with the dishes quite nicely.The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza northeast of Beach Blvd. and W. McFadden Ave.

Came back after a long timeI got #77 - the bun with charbroiled bean curd and egg roll. The egg roll was my favorite part I think I remember why I don't come here too often. The protein feels very over processed and chewy. It was ok I ordered takeout and it was ready really quickly.

Parking is kind of hectic in this plaza because of all the banquet/ bar restaurants. Service - was slowFood - delicious! Very flavorful and fillingWe got the crown daisy/mushroom hotpot and some spring rollsThr hotpot was delicious - so many different mushrooms. The spring rolls were actually super tasty especially the peanut dipping saucesDinner overall was very light and healthy tasting.

Wait, why haven't I been to Bồ Đề Tịnh Tâm Chay before? Although I am not vegetarian myself, I LOVE vegetarian food. Especially the vegetarian food at temple. I've been trying to find a spot that offers dishes of the same (or higher) caliber, and I think Bồ Đề Tịnh Tâm Chay checks off all my boxes.First of all, the interior is absolutely wonderful! It encapsulates a relaxing ambiance with the dark wood and hints of Asian influences. My family and I went during lunch, and we were seated immediately. The waiter didn't rush us at all and even entertained our questions about the menu. Their menu is incredibly extensive, and there's options I've never even heard before! It took me a while to decide.I was speechless once the food arrived! Everything tasted amazing! My favorite was the eggplant in basil sauce. It was perfectly seasoned and exactly what I was craving. We also ordered the seared tofu in garlic and it came in a tangsuyuk-like sauce. At first, I was a little worried; it looked incredibly saucy. However, the thick sauce was lighter than I expected. Not too salty either. It wasn't overwhelming yet plenty flavorful. Another hit! We also ordered the hot pot (lẩu) and they brought out a fire-lit pot with noodles, vegetables, and broth galore. It was a somewhat sour soup. Definitely a feast to share! There were so many options on the menu that even my dad, who is a self-proclaimed meat lover, was more than content with his meal.Overall, definitely recommend! I'll be coming back to try some more dishes, though I'll also reorder the eggplant, haha. (It's that good!)

One of the most delicious vegetarian restaurants I've ever tried.Vietnamese vegan food with nice staff and service The decor was cutePlenty of parking outsideHands down would recommend and bring my vegetarian eaters here for a dine out meal

One of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants I've been to in a long time, especially for Asian food. This place really knows how to make 'fake meat' dishes that sometimes taste even better than the real thing. When I visited on a weekday afternoon, the place was buzzing with Buddhist monks--a sure sign that the food is delicious.My husband and I shared the Vegan Ginger Chicken (#162), the Veggie Fish with Sweet and Sour Sauce (#185), and the House Special Grilled Sour Ham Rolls (#1). Everything was incredibly tasty and filling! We got rice on the side, and by the end of the meal, we were stuffed. My two favorites were the Sour Ham Spring Rolls and the Vegan Ginger Chicken. The flavors were so delicious, and the texture of the fake 'meat' was amazing. They don't skimp on portions, so it's definitely worth the price.I can't wait to go back! For context, my husband and I aren't vegan or vegetarian--my husband is a major meat-eater, and he loved this place too.

FoodHouse special "fish" with dill - So delicious. I have no idea how they maintain a meaty texture and the flavor is similar to fish. Even if it wasn't, it is good on its own. I am not used to dill in Asian dishes, but I thought it made a perfect addition to the dish.Vegetarian bo luc lac - This was a little disappointing. It had the fixings of a bo luc lac and even looked better than some actual beef bo luc lac, but flavor-wise, it was the most "vegetarian" tasting dish in a typical way.I forgot what this one was called, but it was a fried noodle dish - THIS SAUCE IS SO GOOD and it has the PERFECT texture. The noodles were crunchy on the bottom and chewy on top. Sometimes the noodles were just a vehicle for the sauce. They even sell the sauce separately, and I highly recommend buying some to eat at home.ServiceVery kind and attentive.AmbianceNice and cozy - a great date spot!Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for people who think vegetarian food isn't good. Try to avoid vegetarian days because it can get CRAZY packed on those days.

Mmm. #73 lemongrass soup and #4 spring rolls. Good service. Soup will last me all week :)

Their menu is huge, so much variety it can be overwhelming.Hu Tieu Nam vang is pretty good compared to other Vietnamese vegetarian restaurants around OC.The accompanying greens that come with so many of the dishes are always fresh. The portions are very generous and everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious.The food is delicious but the service is hit or miss. If you're looking for high quality, vegetarian Vietnamese food with a great ambience, this is the place.
