    A gem, soulful,serene, peaceful energy for anyone although vegatarian and vegan. This place should be all over. Hoping someone with the resources take it nationwide or even global.

    The food is always amazing!

  • June 24, 2026

    Very fresh and delicious vegan food with plenty of options to choose from. Friendly service and good portions. Ordered a side of broth to see what the hype was about and it did not disappoint. Excited to come back!

    This is the best vegan restaurant in Orlando, and possibly best restaurant in general. All of the menu options are incredible, especially their protein substitutes. I highly recommend getting their drumsticks and ocean seaweed specifically

    This is the best pho I’ve ever tasted! And, the restaurant is very clean!

    This place is awesome!!! The food is totally delicious and there's so much to choose from. I highly recommend visiting even if you're not a vegetarian. Trust me! 💪

    I wanted to order the whole menu, it all sounded so good. Settled on the spring rolls that came with peanut sauce, and a noodle plate that was loaded with flavor and veg! Highly recommend!!!

    Such amazing food! Hard to find a good vegan spot like this one! Enjoy

    Great place, lovely people!

    This restaurant is AMAZING!! There are so many options and everything I’ve tried has been incredible. This is easily my new favorite spot to eat, and I would recommend the #12 Bun Hue spicy soup and #1 Autumn Rolls. I’ve been here with friends who aren’t vegan and they loved the food as well. Super flavorful, filling, authentic, and very reasonably priced! Most pho restaurants nowadays are only getting more expensive, but the prices here are much cheaper than typical meat pho. These people truly know how to cook delicious vegan food!

    Best place ever. Food is always great and the staff are the sweetest ❤️❤️

    My sister and I were looking for vegan Asian food, and Veggie Garden popped up. I read the menu and found it enticing and also totally vegan. We walked up to the restaurant, which was small and cozy. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable; she recommended the spicy royal hue soup noodle. Then I decided to go with the delicious Veggie Garden combo plate. I picked the soy protein spicy ribs, vegan ocean seaweed with pineapple, and sautéed shiitake mushrooms to go. Our order was brought to us pretty quickly, and the young woman helping us was very friendly. The soup was filled with all sorts of goodies, spicy and tasty. The garden combo was perfectly seasoned, not oily or hard. The food at Veggie Garden is tasty and worth the journey from Miami to Orlando. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

    This is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Orlando. When I moved away from home, I really missed my grandma's food and to also have it available with vegan options made it even better!

  • March 5, 2026

    Thrilled to finally try this place, and the broth was as delicious as I'd heard. Veggies were all super fresh and perfectly cooked. Want to go back and try more!

  • March 1, 2026

    Delicious! Vegan

    I just had a delicious lunch. I had the yellow wheat noodles with soy ribs, soy chops, fried tofu, and vegetables. The staff is always wonderful 😊

    Best place for eating Vietnamese food and veggies. Great flavour and variety.

  • February 13, 2026

    We had the best sever! She had great banter. She kept it fun! The food is always great. Highly recommend. It had been years since we've been here (moved away from downtown) and so glad it's still in biz!
