I always liked Vietnamese food. All the food that we had there was delicious. You cannot go wrong here. The prices were very reasonable and the quantity of each dish was more than enough for one person.

My meat eating husband loved everything. Especially liked the Vietnamese pizza.

It was disappointing! The presentation did not look like the make-believe fish or fish paste. The taste was just one dimension, either too salty (salty caramel fish) or too sour (soup and salad). The cá kho tộ (braised salty caramel fish) did not look like fish. There was some pretending fish skin which was chewy but not tasty. The dish was sub par. The canh chua hải sản (seafood sweet and sour soup) was acceptable. The shrimp in the soup was the best of the other ingredients, in term of look and taste. The fried fish cake in the soup was chewy and pretty bland. The gỏi rau tiến vua ( dragonfruit leaves salad) was not well seasoned, it was mostly sour, nothing to balance it. The fried fish cake was chewy. It was so unappetizing that the three of us could not finish our orders. We eat vegetarian a lot and this is one place we will never come back to and will never recommend to anybody.

Really delicious food. That's it. It's not fancy, it's not trendy, it's just freaking delicious. Love it!

We ordered take out for lunch from Hoa Sen. We tried their fried soy fish with ginger sauce, stir fried yellow noodles (with chicken and vegetables), rice with veg spare ribs and bbq pork, and a chicken congee with mushrooms. Total came out to $54 which is typical for veg food. The stand out for me was the congee. It is hard to find vegetarian congee that isn't just bland. This one had pieces of chicken and mushrooms and it was so good. The noodles were also great. I like that we got a variety of vegetarian meats. It was a very satisfying meal.

I went in to order coffee. It smelled like cigarettes. The sign said cash only. I asked to see a menu and the lady said she didn’t have one that they just served coffee.

Found this wonderful spot through Happy Cow, and was happy to see its a mile from home. We order the clay pots, fried rolls rice noodles, pork rolls and egg rolls most recently. The dipping sauces/soups are so tasty. We haven't ordered anything that wasn't good..friendly staff and efficient service.

On a recent trip to Disneyland, my wife and I were craving Vietnamese food. And there a number of great Vietnamese restaurants in the area to choose from, coined the Little Saigon of So.Cal. If you are craving rare beef pho or other meat dishes, don’t come to Hoa Sen because it’s 100% vegetarian. Having never experienced Vietnamese vegetarian food, we thought we’d give it a try, after reading many positive reviews. Hoa Sen did not disappoint. It’s not a very fancy restaurant, but the food is delicious. Their take on a Hue style “beef” soup made of tofu was very good. Even better was their jackfruit salad and Vietnamese crepe, all very tasty and made with very fresh herbs and other veggies. So if you’re looking for an alternative to a regular Vietnamese or vegetarian restaurant, give Hoa Sen a try. You’ll be happy you did, even if you are meat eater.

Girls don't know how to make coffee, tastes so awful! There's been quite a few times we came in and waited for so long since the girls didn't see us, they kept sticking their noses on the phones...
