    Part time vegan by choice (if the food is good). Can definitely say this as a true statement for this gem of a place. Tucked inside a business plaza, Veggie Garden is like grandma's house. The woman at the counter is the sweetest. The food? Phenomenal. Fresh. Flavorful. Comfort Food to the tee. Food is not overly complicated. Not heavy. Perfect.

    Hole in the wall mom and pop shop with some of the best vegan food in Orlando. I will always ride for Veggie Garden.

    I forgot the name of this, but it was a tasty tofu based fried roll.

    Absolutely delicious vegan food served by sweet ladies. There were so many choices, it was hard to make a decision, but we were very happy with our pho, spring rolls, and the other items we ordered. We liked the window seats that faced out to a small courtyard. Not a lot of room to eat there, but we were able to be seated immediately on a Sunday afternoon.

    The Tet Special

    I almost hate to write a review here because this restaurant is the very definition of a "hole in the wall." There are only five small tables and it is very basic. But, as mostly plant-based people (we eat vegetarian or even pescatarian sometimes when we eat out) this is probably our favorite place to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We have been visiting for years and have never had anything that was less than delicious of the many items we have tried. The food is very imaginative and, we believe, authentic Vietnamese vegan cuisine. Recently, we tried their "Tet Special" and #27. We also always get a sampler of their appetizers as well. Now we have two new favorites. Check out their menu if you want the details, but the food is even more tasty than it looks.

    This was the best meal of our trip all the food was very fresh and delicious would absolutely come back out next visit and the service was very friendly and quick.

    this was my first time trying veggie garden! i ordered pickup on the website (which is apparently new) and felt the food was a reasonable price. i will add (for feedback purposes) that i wish the website has customizable options or an input section. for example, i'm allergic to nuts so i wasn't able to order a few things but it's one of those cases where the nuts could just not be added to the top of the dish. it would be helpful to have a section on the website when ordering where i could specify things like that! i took my food home and i felt like the portions were great for the price! i enjoyed a few different dishes to sample but i'll definitely be back to try more. i would definitely recommend anything with the vegan ham in it.. it's delicious! the way the tofu was prepared was great too. it had a lot of flavor and the texture was good. i'd definitely recommend trying this restaurant out. along with takeout, they have an area to dine in and i think a few tables outside as well.

    My friend recently became vegetarian, and we were looking for new places to eat. I have always seen it for years while going to the other restaurants but never thought to stop by until recently. As soon as I came in, I was welcomed by the owner. She had a list of recommendations and also gave us a free bao for coming in to support her business. The Bun Hue was surprisingly my favorite. I thought that since there wasn't a beef broth base, it would lack flavor and depth, but it was quite the opposite. It had the essence of Bun Bo Hue and the depth but with a different taste since it is veggie based. I would not recommend fried rice. The rice was soggy, and the spam substitute had a weird aftertaste. The bao, on the other hand, was worth it. The bao was soft, and the filling was juicy and filled to the brim. I was surprised by the amount of options that Veggie Garden provided. Though I haven't been able to go back, it is definitely one of my favorite restaurants for vegetarian and vegan options.

    It's hard to find this place. Food options are pretty much good. I did not dine in. I just ordered ready-made food. Ordered the jackfruit and eggplant dish to go. It was tasty. The jackfruit was on the saltier side. It's pretty quiet place.

    I went through a two-month vegan phase recently (yes, prompted by "The Game Changers"), and found myself almost exclusively eating at home, as vegan restaurant fare in Orlando didn't appeal for the most part. One exception was Veggie Garden, where I came for the Bun Hue a handful of times. I loved the flavors, the textures, and the spiciness of the dish, and was impressed by how much flavor depth they were able to create without fish sauce or beef stock. Also, the people running the restaurant are very friendly, and the little courtyard patio is a nice place to eat and relax. Will I return now that I'm no longer eating vegan? Maybe not as often, but definitely.

    Buddha (mixed veggies and tofu)
    Aya R.

    Veggie garden is an Orlando hidden gem. It is a modest, barebones restaurant, and smells so good inside. With all vegan items and plenty of gluten-free options, it is an amazing place for dietary needs. The owner was very accommodating, explaining what had gluten and what did not. The food came out pretty quickly. The food was flavorful, fresh, and affordable. I really enjoyed the fresh roll, and I still dream of their fantastic chili garlic topping (pictured here). We got the fresh rolls, vermicelli, and buddha bowl. After ordering, I had major FOMO (fear of missing out) and if I could do it again, I would choose the multi-entree option, where you pick up to 3 different entrees to mix. Honestly, I wanted to try everything on the menu. I was particularly fond of their pickled daikon (comes on the side). The food in their deli case also looks very good and you can order their many vegan proteins, sides, and sauces to-go. Thank you for a delicious meal, and I will be back very soon! Gluten-free note: apparently the soy sauce is all gluten-free but they re-used the old containers on the tables so it looks like regular soy sauce. Not sure how that works for those who are super sensitive, but from other reviews it does not seem to be an issue.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming. Abraham, who I believe may be the owner, thanked us for coming in before we even ordered. It was such a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. You could tell there was genuine gratitude for people choosing to spend their time and money supporting the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. As soon as you walk in, you smell the incense and immediately get the vibes! We ordered the meat and veggie combo, which gave us a great variety of dishes to try. If you like spice like I do, the lentils and spicy beef were definitely standouts. The collard greens were probably my least favorite and left a little more to be desired, but the other vegetables? We smashed those! Everything was flavorful, filling, and fun to experience together. If you've never tried Ethiopian or Eritrean food before, come with an open mind. It may be different from what you're used to, but that's part of what makes the experience so good. It's flavorful, communal, and such a unique dining option compared to what you typically find around Orlando. Definitely a 5/5 for me. I'd absolutely return, especially because the menu has plenty of other dishes I'd like to try!

It does have really good food, which is kind of the point. There is basically no parking and hard to get into the teeny lot. We tried the spring rolls. This was a 8/10.

Super flavorful and crispy and it is a lot of food for what you pay. That being said, they added a $3 uncharge since I added the mushroom.

I didn't eat the rice since there was so much breading on the tofu. The veggies were primarily red and green peppers, with some broccoli thrown in. I would have liked a lot of broccoli. The biggest disappointment was the lack of spicy heat, considering it was called Spicy. It came with a tiny bit of what seemed to be a Sweet Thai Chili sauce, but it was not spicy. A friend ordered the Drumsticks. It also came with rice, which was also plentiful and looked delish. The veggies were squash, carrots, broccoli, etc, and were plentiful and tasty. Friend did not care for the drumsticks however, as they weren't what she was expecting, rather just cuts of some type of protein in a thick brown sauce that was not what she thought it would be. Overall, the food was good, and I'd go back, but would order something better and be sure to ask for more spice.

BBB Tofu House left me absolutely speechless and wanting to order much more than we did, and we actually ordered a ton of food for only two people. The outside ambiance of this place is very unsuspecting. It's in a poorly lit strip mall in the Pine Hills area of town. Various furniture stores and other Asian restaurants and questionable wellness spas dot the mall, but inside, this place was beautiful. It was like a ruby encrusted coy pond, gently playing K-pop in the background. Very cozy. The service was incredible. These folks were so nice and patient with me as I asked them questions about many menu items, wanting to make sure I ordered the right things. The food came out at a very reasonable pace, too. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. And the food, it was wow. Absolutely exquisite. Started off with the Bulgogi Mandu (Beef; 5 Pieces). These are a fried Korean dumplings, and the thing about mandu is that they are probably the dumpling with the most filling packed into it. A massive amount of delicious beef filling, a crispy wrapper with a fun little crimping for texture, and a nice, subtle sesame-type sauce. Very good. I also had the Tteok-bokki, my favorite Korean appetizer. It is a chewy, cylinder-shaped rice cakes (tteok) simmered in a spicy, sweet, and savory sauce. And it was delicious. It was also the largest serving I've ever encountered, so it got kind of one-note. I recommend paying the upcharge for the Add Cheese. Then onto the Seafood Pancake. Look at this dang thing in my picture. One of the best things man has ever created. An intricately crispy outer layer of some sort of dough, containing within a cheesy blend of seafoods, all sliced up like a pizza and coming with that same sesame sauce for dipping. This was Super Bowl food, my goodness. I got the Galbi (BBQ Short Ribs), which is another Korean staple. Very mainstream, but for good reason. These short ribs are sliced crosswise, slicing up those muscle fibers, and leaving behind thin layers of delicious, tender beef. Being sliced so thinly also lends itself well to soaking up the marinade very good. So delicious. I finished off with the, here we go, the main event, Dolpan Kimchi Bokkeum Bap (Kimchi Fried Rice) (Kimchi, Beef, Peas, Corn, Carrots and Onion topped with Cheese). They'll ask you if you want the egg. Say yes. This magnificent creature comes to you as a mound of rice in a screaming hot stone bowl, with the cheese kept away from it. Tableside, the man cracks an egg on the whole thing, and then mixes the heck out of all of it, allowing the egg to cook and the cheese to melt. He then spreads it all out against the stone bowl, maximizing touched surface area, creating a crispy cheesy rice crust along the bottom of the bowl, making every bite amazing. You read all that right. And it was one of the best meals of my life not at a Michelin restaurant. I'm actually going to petition this place as a Bib Gourmand. It was that high quality. I'm in love.
