Thanh Tinh Chay Restaurant

Organic …Vegan… Healthy 200 items

Amazing, amazing food! Definitely a go to if you’re in San Diego. Service was wonderful too! Killer food and great service. I had the spicey beef noodle soup the broth was off the charts!

So many vegan options, all delicious, and the servers are very kind

Thanh Tinh Chay is an absolute gem for plant-based Vietnamese cuisine! The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and incredibly authentic. The pho is rich and satisfying, the banh mi is perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the variety of mock meats is impressive. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. Whether you’re vegan or just love great food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!!

This place is amazing! Huge menu, great food and very friendly staff Everything is gluten free on top of being vegan, which is a plus Updated from previous review on 2025-02-26

I love this place so much. All meats are made in house. Everything I’ve ever tried has been delicious. Super friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure every order is perfect L

Food was delicious, but the menu was overwhelming huge, luckily with pictures. (Bring a crowd if you want to try a bunch.) We had to go by recommendations because we didn’t know where to start. Food was delicious and very homemade, including the tofu. Atmosphere was eh, but worth the trip. Highly recommend to every vegan who makes the same dishes every day. Very inspirational.

Kindest staff and some of the best vegan meats and Vietnamese food I’ve ever had.

Holy cow. I am truly amazed by how authentic this food was and how many options there were! I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by the amount of food on the menu and how sooo much of it is GF. The staff were so friendly. I would eat here everyday if I could. I wish they had more locations! #Veganuary

Incredibly delicious Vietnamese food. We tried a ban mi and the lotus salad. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The host/waitress was very kind and let us try some dessert. We will be coming here again and again!

food was incredible!! tried the pork belly banh mi and dried pho noodle with crispy chicken. they also gave us free dessert which was really good!!

Amazing food, water and creme brulee. I really loved the Helen buns and crispy beef buns and the creme brulee. They will sing on your birthday!!

Just got back from vacation in Vietnam ?? so I had my taste buds ready to compare and this place definitely did not disappoint - the food here I had was easily just as good if not better than I had over there; only thing it cost significantly more but arguably worth it and the staff is very friendly.

I was excited to try Thanh Tinh Chay. It has a five star rating on Yelp. In 2022 Yelp rated them number four out of the top 100 vegan restaurants in North America. Anticipation. There are 240 vegan dishes on the menu. Talk about choice! Simple ambience here that was sufficient. The water was infused with fruit and was very refreshing, I opted for the Bun Thanh Toan Vermicelli aka Thanh Toan Noodle Bowl. It was amazing. Tasty. Fresh. I loved the homemade hot sauces clearly labeled in the bottles. A lot of care is taken with the food here and everything is made from scratch including the tofu. Thanh Tinh Chay met my expectations. As some other reviewers have stated it is costly aka expensive here. This is true yet I found the entree just a few dollars more than anywhere else although I only got one entree without an appetizer or soup. DIning out can be expensive yet is a nice treat and especially worth supporting an all vegan restaurant like here. They kindly gave me a complementary vegan flan for dessert after I finished the noodle bowl. I look forward to returning here again next time I am in San Diego.

I didn’t expect to find such a great vegetarian restaurant on my recent trip to San Diego. Each dish was made with high-quality ingredients, carefully selected by the owner. The staff were very friendly. I’ll definitely come back. Thank you for letting me enjoy such delicious vegetarian food.
