Bi Cuon
Tom L.

Anyone who's had traditional Vietnamese food is going to come to expect a normal dishes from the standard spring rolls to the world famous pho. It's my first time at a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant and I wasn't disappointed, but I also wasn't blown away in terms of value to taste, but it's a great vegetarian restaurant. The dining room is clean and I decided to walk in because nobody answered the phone but I could see why they're always busy so if you call and they don't answer just go inside in order to go. I had the Bi Cuon which was tasty the traditional Vietnamese spring roll with fresh greens and wrapped in semi hard rice paper for $6.50. I don't see the value it's too expensive to get a spring roll cut it in half to make it seem like I have four rolls for $6.50. I'd rather go somewhere else maybe Chipotle and turn my dish vegetarian with rice, lettuce, salsa, vegetables fajitas, but I understand you can't compare restaurants but I compare the food to price to value. The overall spring roll is great taste fresh love the dipping sauce I was a little worried that the vegetarian fish sauce for dipping wouldn't taste traditional, but it does tangy garlic spicy sweet a little too sweet in my opinion overall it's a great dish. The Bun Cha Gio Bi has the better value to dollar to taste for its price point. I love the fresh herbs with the fresh bouncy vegetables and when you add all the vegetables noodles and a semi too sweet fish sauce for dipping the noodles and vegetables does help by taking away the two sweet sauce. It's a great taste with the eggrolls and I had the air fry it when I took it home as long as you air fry or crisp up the eggrolls it's a good dish, it tastes traditional, and I'm a little surprised, which is awesome.

This is a great place to come if you are vegetarian or need to eat vegetarian or want to eat vegetarian. My favorite here is the salted tofu - crispy, salty, simply delicious. The last I tried is the pho. The pho soup is overall better than other pho I've tasted before, but it is not my favorite. The vegetarian ham has a great taste and texture. Not a fan of the vegetarian beef though. The tofu was ok. The caramelized fish in clay pot is ok,but it was thin and a bit too sweet. My mom loves the bun hue, and she has it everytime.

beautiful decoration

The food is very delicious. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Price is reasonable for a vegetarian restaurant. I will come back

Gỏi Xoài (Mango Salad)
Katrina M.

Delicious vegetarian options are in abundance here, but meat is not. Every single item on the menu here is vegetarian, but if you eat meat, you won't miss it given how flavorful and fresh the food is. I do have to mention that one could be misled with how some of the dishes are named: for example, they have a dish called Heo Quay Kho Ngũ Vị (Five Spices Roasted Pork), but it is actually an (excellent) tofu dish meant to imitate pork. There's no indication in either the Vietnamese or English name that this is imitation pork rather than real pork. Since this restaurant does explicitly label themselves as a Vegetarian restaurant, that might be obvious to most. But I think it would be helpful to label the imitation dishes as such to make it more clear for those who may not know. I came here with a big group of friends so I was able to try plenty of things. My favorites were the Mango Salad and the Five Spices Roasted Pork, and even though I ate A LOT, I didn't walk out feeling bloated or heavy. Service is friendly, the zen interior design of the restaurant is cute and photogenic, and there's plenty of parking. This restaurant is in Bellaire, and even though it's a bit further down the road from Chinatown, it is well worth the drive. Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5

This is NOT the place to go if you want meat (even their "meat" dishes are from vegan-based). But that being said, the food is really good and the restaurant can accompany both small and large parties. Place is more for casual get-togethers. Easy to find parking (in a lot). I highly recommend getting the spring rolls and mango salad (do not skip on this one) for their appetizers. I got the roast "pork" dish and was pleasantly surprised how flavorful and crispy it was. Great portions too. Good service: Workers very attentive, food came out quickly, and came by periodically to check up on us. Just know though, you pay at the register (we were waiting for the check and did not realize that). Highly recommend for a Asian-Viet vegan restaurant!

Bi cuon (spring rolls), fish sauce was solid too
Tiffany H.

Heard by word of mouth that Huong Sen was good, so a group of us went to check it out. I really liked how they decorated the restaurant. Service was good, accommodating a party of 9. The food was so delicious! Everything vegan. I can't decide which is my favorite. Appetizers ordered: bi cuon (spring rolls), cha gio chay (eggrolls), goi xoai (mango salad w/ crispy crackers) Entrees: Bun hue (vegan bun bo hue, spicy and portion was larger than expected), nam va dau hu kho to (tofu + mushroom, the sauce was so savory & addicting), heo kho ngu vi (crispy, fried tofu) Really enjoyed dinner and a fun outing!

Ca Kho To (caramelized fish)
Jacquelyn C.

My grandma is a Buddhist vegetarian and I've been on the hunt for places she can eat at. A friend recommended this place and I finally had the chance to bring my grandma! Not all of their menu items are Buddhist vegetarian friendly, but there were a good amount of items that are. The interior here is pretty spacious and there are booths that are tucked away. There's no large party tables, but we were a party of 5 and they had a table that fit us. We ordered the Cha Gio Chay as an appetizer and these were arguable my grandma's favorite--she ate 3 of these and she usually has a small appetite. These were nicely crisped and paired really well with the vegetarian nuoc mam. We also got the Bun Cha Gio which was another one of my grandma's favorites, she ended up eating most of the bowl (we family-styled the meal). The fried rice was good, though I do wish the portion size was a bit larger. It had a nice wok flavor and the rice was not soggy at all. The salted tofu was my favorite dish by far--super airy and crispy and lightly salted. The caramelized fish was also good, although on the salty side--it pairs really well with the complementary rice. Lastly, we got the snow pea leaves without garlic--these were cooked very well and were still flavorful despite no garlic. Overall, a great experience and I will be bringing my grandma back!

Vegetarian Bi Cuon - comes with 2 rolls but I forgot to take photos of all the food..

Always on a look out for a good vegetarian place cause my parents are vegetarian and I have a few friends that love vegetarian food as well! Came across Huong Sen on IG and decided to check them out! Boy were they way out there! I don't think I've ventured this deep into Bellaire before! Ample parking, and restaurant was fairly nice... not huge but not super tiny either! They had a lotus flower display that the kiddos loved! The menu was small but lots to choose from! I've been looking for a good mango salad and this one was delicious! Came with rice crackers and a vegan fish sauce and lots of herbs! Super refreshing! The spring rolls were also fantastic! They have things like eggroll vermicelli, vegan eggrolls, vegan pork and vegan lemongrass chicken, as well as a tamarind soup! I loved the sauce in the lemongrass chicken, and my friend loved the roasted pork dish, though I didn't like the texture as much. I wish the lemongrass chicken had more lemongrass and was slightly a little less sweet! Mushroom salad was on the sweet side as well. Kids loved the mushroom pho! Overall, great vegetarian food.. alright service, I think they were a bit overwhelmed by how crowded it was.. but good price for everything we ordered! Will take my parents next time they visit!

Canh Chua/Sweet & Sour Soup
Thuy V.

The food reminds me of temple food, where the food is made and served by priests. If you ever have a chance to be invited to a meal served by the priest, take it. The is truly the next best. I highly recommend the Mango Salad, with juliennes of carrots, mango, cucumber with bits of red peppers, egg plants and chopped bay leaves and wonton wrapper flakes. Use the shrimp crackers to scoop the salad into your mouth. Yummy!. The other dish was the Canh Chua or Sweet and Sour Soup. The soup was full of bean sprouts, button mushrooms, tomatoes, celery, tofu and okra. The traditional way to devour this soup is to pour a portion into a smaller bowl and add white rice. The broth was yummy. The service was attentive and the restaurant was quiet, a pleasant place to sit and enjoy your meal. I would definitely return.

#10 spicy noodle soup
Sunny B.

Huong Sen was delicious! This is one of our favorite vegetarian places in the Chinatown area. It is a few minutes further than the main Chinatown area. All items are vegetarian on the menu. We've tried multiple items on the menu and each has been tasty. My favorite is the spicy noodle soup, which contains multiple different types of fake meat in a tasty, spicy broth. Know that it does have a spicy kick to it. Know that although they take your order at your table, you actually pay for food at the register up front.

Cindy L.

10/10. My favorite go to place for vegetarian food. Worth the price. Soup is huge.. definitely worth it

I have been to this Hương Sen restaurant a few times. Today, my friend and I came here for a late lunch. Their food always tastes so good. I like their ginger lemongrass cold tea drink; it's so refreshing. The restaurant is very small and cozy, but it has beautiful decorations and a temple interior design. Their service is always good. The owner is a very nice person. I would definitely recommend that everyone come here to try out their vegetarian dishes. You won't be disappointed.

Tuệ Tâm is one of my favorite vegan Vietnamese restaurants in Houston, and it never disappoints…read more Starting with appetizers, the fried egg rolls are an absolute must-order -- crispy and perfectly seasoned. The salt and pepper crispy tofu is a standout with bold flavor and a satisfying crunch. The lemongrass tofu is well-seasoned and solid, and the mushroom-based chicken nuggets are honestly one of my favorite appetizers on the entire menu. The fried pancake rounds out the appetizer options nicely as well. On the rice dishes, there's plenty to love. My wife loves the shaking tofu fried rice and orders it every time we visit. The combo fried rice and shaking beef fried rice are both great choices, and the special pot rice is a comforting, satisfying option. The hardest part of dining here is choosing a favorite entrée. The grilled fish platter -- crafted from tofu and seaweed -- is a masterpiece. But it's in fierce competition with the fried chicken rice, made from mushrooms and exceptionally delicious in both flavor and texture. I genuinely can't pick just one. Whether you're a longtime vegan or simply someone who appreciates great food, Tuệ Tâm is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

This was such a random spot! I spend a lot of time in china town and never knew this was here and…read morethat it was mostly vegan. A couple things to note: 1. It is not 100% vegan. For some reason, they have 1 item (egg roll) that is not vegan. 2. Service is full service style without full service quality. Would be a better setup if we could order at the counter and sit down because that's pretty much the level of service we received anyway, so just keep that in mind going into it. 3. It was pricier than expected. We spent $50 on the items shown here. I wouldn't say I was pleased with what we spent vs what we received. Overall, the food was a mixed bag.. the soup didn't have a ton of flavor despite it being one of their most popular dishes. The 'snails' were really interesting and I enjoyed them. For $20 I wouldn't get them again but they were fun to try. The steak dish was definitely the highlight. It was so good that my non vegan boyfriend bet me $1 it was real steak. It wasn't. Overall, I think it's worth a try but it's unlikely I'll be back anytime soon. Maybe to pick up the steak dish. Beside that, Trendy Vegan offers really good Asian cuisine at a more reasonable price point.

I got their wagyu nigiri, which comes with two pieces, and their signature ramen. The signature ramen is well-balanced and is creamy. You can definitely tell that the noodles are hand-made. The noodles are curly and bouncy, and I really enjoy their texture. All the meats within the signature are tender and soft, melting in your mouth. The ramen here is a bit pricier than other locations, but I do believe the quality and freshness of the ramen really shows. The wagyu nigiri was good, but nothing special per se. The meat was quite thin and was a bit lackluster. The interior is quite small, which leads to some wait time. I recommend going earlier before they open to secure a spot and to avoid long wait times. Parking can also get crazy in the plaza during the weekends. Staff was quick and attentive. I definitely will be visiting more now that they are in Houston and look forward to trying their other ramen flavors!

It's no wonder why this is one of the top if not the best ramen in Houston.

Now I heard they use a tofu and mushroom loaf that is made in house. They also have noodle soups and Vietnamese dishes (com tam, vermicelli noodles, etc) but I go for the deli style lunch box. For $11.75 you get a choice of rice (I've seen brown and purple) or noodles (I always get the noods) plus 3 choices. And a small veggie soup. The lunch box options rotate, there are some items that they have more often. I always get their green beans and I try their various tofu options. Recently they had an eggplant stir fry and it was delicious. There is also an ala carte section that has dim sum items. I love their turnip cake (law bak go). One order comes with 3 pieces and a soy sauce and a chili oil ($5.50). The grocery store has expanded and sells pantry items (noodles, rice, sauces, snacks, etc) as well as fruits and veggies and frozen items (fake meat items). If you are a vegetarian or just need a break, def try this spot. You won't regret it.

Staff were extremely kind and friendly. You order and pay at the cashier then sit at a table to wait for your orser. We got the vegetarian cold cut combo banh mi, the lo mein, and the rice rolls. Everything was full of flavor and we did not miss animal protein. The banh mi had a nice, crisp bread along with a good amount of veggies and vegetarian cold cuts. The lo mein was very flavorful and the mushrooms really stood out as a nice unami bomb. The veggies were well cooked too and maintained crispness.
