What's up: Lunchtime with the coworker! Since it was packed the last time we came here, we decided…read moreto finally check them out once more and saw that there was no line. Yay! Parking: Plenty of underground parking. They have limited parking on the top level, but you can slays try your luck! Environment: Located on the second floor of Life Plaza Center, we took the stairs up from the underground parking lot. Although they were not busy, we had a short wait before being seated. Orders were placed and it wasn't long before the food came. What was ordered: - Lunch Special: Crispy Vege Chicken Nuggets with Basil (crispy and tasty) - Lunch Special: Bean Curd Skin and Spinach (flavorful) - Crispy Puff Pastry with Almond Tea (sweet and yummy) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. We were very pleased with the food here. The food came quick and the dishes were tasty. Credit cards are accepted.

I initially wanted to go to Vege Valley but when I got there, it was closing in 1 hour, and there was like 10 groups 2 & 3 people ahead of us. I wasn't sure we were gonna make it before they closed, so I quickly decided to leave and find an alternative. Not being from the area, I yelped and was just praying what I chose had true vegetarian option. (We're plant based) This was only a couple of miles away, plus it has Buddha in its name, so it must be similar! It's located in an area with a lot of parking. Not only that there was plenty of seating, plus a stack of high chairs (yay! For parents of small kids) It was casual and when we ordered, I think it took like, only 10 minutes to arrive... Idk, but it was fast! Piping hot too! And I'm not sure whether it was that we were super hungry, but we ordered 3 dishes, and whoa! It was sooo good! We loved it! It's vegetarian and the noodle dishes that looked good had "eggs" on their names, so I skipped those. They didn't have alternative milk but they did give me Thai tea with coconut, she said milk but maybe it's cream, cuz it's was thick. I loooved that fish soy dish, omg, too bad it was small, I could finish that myself. That green beans with chicken(?) was great too, albeit a bit on the oily side. And lastly I loved the eggplant and tofu dish. The tofu was super soft. I feel like it's a place for people who don't want to eat crunchy food, haha! I would've stayed and finished everything if I could, but I really recommend this to everyone who wants great vegetarian food. I'm also writing this so that I remember what a great experience I had

This place offers a variety of Vietnamese and Chinese inspired vegetarian dishes. The stir fried…read morenoodles needed a tad bit more soy sauce or salt for the veggies/toppings. But the clay pot "catfish" was flavorful and we requested no rice as part of the dish so we got more pickled veggies instead, very well made pickled veggies in my opinion. Service was quick and easy to order thru phone call.

We ordered the spicy eggplant, fried mushroom in sweet and sour sauce, house special tofu and orange veggie chicken. Everything was good but we all agreed that the orange veggie chicken and the mushroom sweet and sour were our favorites. Both dishes had the right amount of sweetness and were balanced in its seasoning. The spicy eggplant wasn't spicy at all since they default to making it mild unless you say otherwise. The tofu dish was more like braised tofu in brown sauce but it didn't have any distinctive character. I think next time we will have to try a different tofu dish. The restaurant itself has more of a casual feel. It's not terribly huge so I can see how busy it could get on more popular celebratory days. For us at around 5:30 on a Saturday evening it was not too crowded. The service was very friendly and quick. They were very attentive to our needs and even boxed our left over for us. Free parking is available in the parking structure for the shopping plaza.

When you walk in, it looks like a small neighborhood restaurant almost like a mom and pop restaurant. We ordered a yellow curry, a pad see ew, an orange chicken, and a grilled pork dish. The curry was huge with plenty of tofu and on the milder side. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and tender inside. I thought the star was the grilled pork! It tasted almost like real pork. The pad see ew was a little sweet and salty. Delicious too! I would recommend this restaurant if you don't eat meat and looking for an alternative. Even if you eat meat, you will enjoy the flavors here. The service was quick and the portions were generous. You will not be disappointed coming here.

The chicken stays crispy for a long time and reheats nicely as leftovers. Everything we've ordered is really good and crave-worthy. We got the lucky catsu, curry catsu, crispy shrimp, spam masubi, catsu masubi, orange chicken, crispy chicken. Top two favorites are lucky and curry catsu. Small things I'd personally wish to change is that the onion is too strong in the macaroni salad. Wish it wasn't in there period. And the rice is a little on the dryer side and it sticks to the container- so when you scrape up the last bits of rice, you could be eating the paper from the container. I like that they use compostable containers though!! But yeah the rice is on the harder side especially as leftovers. But whatever, their main items are bomb and makes me not care about anything else. Service is quick! Note: it is not a sit down restaurant. You order (ahead) and park on the street and call them to let them know you're outside. They'll bring the food out. Reception isn't great outside fyi. I've been here 3 times and never last long enough to get a photo before digging in. There are two other vegan restaurants right next to it, same concept - order and pick up. Great for different options if one is craving Mexican from Cena or hot dogs from All franks.

I will continue to sing the praises for Veggie Life!…read more Not often do you find a Vietnamese vegetarian place that feeds like you're visiting your grandma! Every time I come I leave feeling STUFFED. The amount you get for the price you pay is honestly so worth it. The quality of the food is also amazing! Took my future father in law (FFIL for short) here with my fiancé for lunch and they were so sweet to us. Made sure we sat in front of the AC as outside was over 100+ degrees! We tried to sit off to the side but was advised to sit in the middle where the AC was. I felt how hot the window was by the sides so I do appreciate them asking us to sit elsewhere! I decided to switch up what I normally get and tried something different. I got their lemongrass chicken rice which came with a side soup! omg. The amount of food I got was just too much. I barely made a dent and had to bring it home! But the food was 10/10! My fiancé got their vermicelli dish (needed in this hot weather!) and my FFIL got their pho. We also got a side order of their bi cuon, so good! Everyone was happy with they got! Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and the food is delicious! If you're in the area, come check it out!

My friends and I came here on a whim. We originally wanted to go to a cafe in the same plaza but…read moredecided to eat first and my friend point out this place. It's located in a small plaza so parking is limited. I thought it was takeout only so I was surprised that we were directed to sit down. The man who took our order was... quick and efficient. I say that because he'll just point at you and ask what you want and not go in a particular order. He didn't write down our order and repeated what we want before we finished talking. Hey, as long as the food is right, I'm not going to get mad at how the order was taken. The food didn't take long at all. I ordered curry and we were given a plate of veggies to add to our soups. I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese food but I absolutely loved the food here. The soups came in large bowls so it's something that's definitely shareable. I tried a bit of my friend's food and they were all so good. Especially the fish! It's probably the best fish I've ever had. At the end, we were given mung bean soup for dessert. It's not my favorite thing but it was tasty. I will be coming back for the fish!

Clearly we were new, but they explained the menu to us and provided details regarding their plant-based and vegetarian options. There's so many to choose from!

All the food was great. Healthy and fresh made to order. We ended up ordering extra food togo and also tried their buns. Pretty tasty! If we're ever in town we'll definitely be returning to try out some other things on the menu.

My partner and I drove nearly 50 minutes from Torrance, and after one visit, we're officially hooked. Parking was a breeze, and the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth from the moment we walked in. Opening the menu was both exciting and dangerous because everything looked incredible. It felt like vegan comfort food heaven. We were craving something that tasted like a home-cooked meal, and let's just say...rice is life! We ordered the Clay Pot Veggie Fish with a basket of white rice, and WOW. The savory sauce was packed with flavor, and the fresh crushed peppercorns added the perfect kick. It came with a fresh salad and pickled vegetables that balanced everything beautifully. We also ordered the Banh Ot Cha Lua, the rice paper rolls, and the vegan egg rolls. I loved that they served the egg rolls with lettuce and fresh mint for wrapping--exactly how I grew up eating them at my mom's house. That nostalgic touch instantly earned bonus points. What really stood out was the hospitality. When we mentioned it was our first visit and that we had driven all the way from Torrance, our host smiled and asked, "Would you like to hear our favorite dishes?" Umm...yes, please! That's the kind of genuine customer service that makes people feel like family instead of just another table. Everything arrived piping hot, fresh, and made with care. It was so good that before leaving, I ordered another Clay Pot Veggie Fish to go because I knew I'd be craving it later. Needless to say, the 50-minute drive home somehow felt a lot shorter with a happy stomach. We'll absolutely be back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thien Tam to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Vietnamese vegetarian food.
