This is my absolute FAVORITE spot for Vegetarian Vietnamese Food. They do not skimp out on flavor and portion sizes here. My recommendations are their Bun Bo Hue, Bun Mang Vit, and their Bun Nuoc Leo. I typically prefer these versions over the traditional meat versions as it's lighter without compromising the flavor. I typically go here when I feel like I've eaten particularly heavy the night before (especially after a feast of KBBQ) and I'm looking for something plant based. If you're in a quick pinch, I like to order their to-go Items as well.

Veggie life has a special place in my heart. Ample parking with fast service and delicious food! Food: my favorite dish is the chicken with fried rice (obviously it's not real chicken everything on the menu is vegetarian). The seasoning and texture is perfect! Rice was a little bland but some sauce fixed that right up for me. It also came with a side of warm broth that washed it all down 5/5. The beef noodle soup was excellent as well and was a hit with my sister who isn't vegetarian and was very hesitant to order. She loved her soup and would come back to veggie life again 5/5. Drinks: the avocados smoothie was thick and not too sweet. Ideal consistency and flavor 5/5.

This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants! Everything they serve is chay, Vietnamese vegetarian. They have everything! Soups, noodles, rice dishes, salads, street food. Their portions are very generous. The food is so fresh. They make it fresh to order. They do not skimp on anything. If your item comes with herbs, they're giving you a whole plate on the side. The food is so delicious! The staff and service is phenomenal. Everyone is so sweet and attentive. They're very friendly and can make adjustments to the menu. They just remodeled. The space is airy and bright. The parking is easy. There's a huge lot outside. I couldn't recommend this place enough. I always end up ordering the menu and taking food home. Even after being stuffed, I feel so good knowing that I'm nourishing my body with healthy food!

Best Vietnamese vegetarian food I've ever had. My favorite!! I miss it and hope it will be open again soon. Is there an estimated reopening date?

I'm not vegetarian, but I went because my boyfriend's mom is. Even though I'm not vegetarian, I would totally come back here. The food was more flavorful than expected! Plus, since it's all vegetarian, it makes me feel like I'm eating healthy! I got the Bun Bo Hue, less spicy. I definitely couldn't tell there was no meat! The soup was flavorful, and the different types of "meat" they included were delicious. I also got the Banh Cuon, which is freshly made, so the rolls came out warm and smooth! They fill it up with lots of ingredients like woodear mushroom, and it came with so many rolls that this dish alone was enough. I couldn't finish my Bun Bo Hue and took it to go. I would definitely get both dishes again! It's a mom-and-pop shop, and they definitely close on time, so if you don't want to be rushed, don't come close to closing time. The dishes come out super fast, so it's a quick eat. The inside is like a take-out place, so it's not for long seating anyway. I did notice a few people came in just to pay for take-out.

A current favorite. I have become a regular here and I generally get the lemon grass chicken, pepper chicken or clay pot chicken and they are all excellent. Great texture, fresh taste and delicious flavors. The energy of the place is very cozy and the staff has been kind. If you are a veggie looking for a satisfying, hearty (but not greasy), meal, this is your spot. Bonus points for me- it's always a mixed crowd- people of all cultures come out here because the food is great. It transcends

Best pho I've ever had in my life. There's so much in there I was full for 18 days. During this time I was transported to nirvana valhalla and Betelgeuse. I returned in our own time as if only a second had past. Damon the owner greeted me and offered my samples and told me their process for making all the delicious soy based nuggets, they have pictures of all the menu items so very easy to order. Good opportunity to use google translate and brush up on your Vietnamese. cảm ơn bạn từ tận đáy lòng

Never have I eaten at a vegetarian restaurant that I can honestly say I find it better than the traditional non-veg dishes. Veggie Life has a great variety of vegetarian friendly Viet dishes that are sure to please even the most strict carnivore. I often feel that vegetarian food doesn't fill you up the way meat-full counter parts do, but that was quite the contrary. Each dish I had was packed full of authentic Viet flavors where I was puzzled to taste a great amount of richness and savory notes. Their chicken and fish tofu substitutes were my personal faves along with the egg plant in a rich and velvety sweet sauce that gets soaked up by the red rice. The service was great! A real simple and straightforward shop. Do not expect fine dining level ambiance, but you will find the friendly staff working on tofu cakes in the back corner. Overall, if you are looking for a great meal regardless of food preferences, make your way to Veggie Life! *most interesting note is that NONE of the dishes have onion or garlic as they uphold what I believe is a type of Buddhist food restriction of cuisine that is absent of garlic and onion because of the strong smelling qualities. Def recommend the Banh Xeo and Ga Roti (red rice and chicken)
