I am SO glad I stumbled upon this place randomly! Kevin's #1 soup is now my favorite healing remedy ever. Literally the perfect fragrant broth and the meat substitutes they use have an amazing texture. The coffee that I got was huge and I loved the coconut cream flavor. The person who gave me my order (might have been the famous Kevin himself?) was also super nice and opened the door for me when I left! I can't wait to come back and try everything! read more

Vinh Loi Tofu - Kevin's #1 soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Reseda, California

Loved it! Ordered wayyyyy too much food but it kept well and was great the next day too! Highly recommend bringing some friends and order lots of fun things. Excellent drum sticks, a 5/10 spice on the lemon pepper was perfect anymore and I would've been struggling. The spring rolls were pretty plain but large and the peanit sauce was good. I tried the combo meal and it was a great way to try a little of everything. Only downside was the place didn't smell great and I got bit by a lot of mosquitoes. read more

I haven't had the spot in a long time. This is the OG Vinh Loi location. The second location in Cerritos is owned by the owner's brother. I was craving curry so I got the TKO curry duck soup. (yellow curry powder mixed with red curry paste cooked in coconut milk broth with gluten duck, mushroom, rice noodles, black & white sesame seeds, green onion, peanuts, and cilantro.) The owner asked if my friend was hungry. He said yes and that he's allergic to peanuts. The owner put in an order for him. I believe my friend's order was a combination of duck and fried dumplings with fried rice and chow mein. We also ordered Chinese donuts to share. Food was delicious as usual. A big fan of this spot. There's one gender neutral restroom in the back. Located in a very small lot with compact spaces. Larger cars please park on the street the spaces are small enough. read more

Tried yet another awesome dish at this spot. When you ask the owner what else is good, he replies, "I'll make something special for you, have a seat" . The owner ended up making Teriyaki Duck Combo for me and it was amazing. The dish consisted out of sautéed rice, noodles, many delicious veggies and I believe some tofu and tempeh that resembled the flavor of duck meat. I'm not normally into vegan dishes, but this one was special. You could taste the freshness of each ingredient and the portion was enormous and could have easily fed 2 adults. The owner's got a phrase "I pick you eat" and after last couple of visits, I fully trust it. The service here is always friendly and the spot itself is clean, cozy, with multiple tables for dining in. Will definitely come again! read more

There's a reason Vinh Loi Tofu has so many great reviews. It really is that good. I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first because I'm not vegan, but this place completely changed my perspective. The meat substitutes made from soy, peas, and other plant-based ingredients are surprisingly delicious and satisfying. You don't feel like you're "missing" anything. The flavors are on point, and everything tastes thoughtfully prepared rather than just being a gimmicky vegan option. The owner is incredibly friendly and always takes the time to recommend dishes, and every suggestion has been a hit. The service alone makes you want to come back. I'm not vegan, but I genuinely enjoy the food here and appreciate the quality and consistency. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

I love a good vegan restaurant. The owner here has such a great personality and is very personable. Almost every time I have eaten here with my mom or my husband, he helps us pick the perfect courses to our taste. I have not tried anything here that I did not like. Everything is very flavorful. Both the parking lot and the restaurant space is small. But the locally owned vibes make up for it. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. The duck is beyond amazing. Also everyone is super nice. It's a long drive for us but always worth it read more

Their beef egg rolls and bun thit nuong are perfect for a hot summer day! Their duck curry is also delicious and is perfect if you want a creamy, heavier meal! read more

One of the best noodle spots in the Valley! I always look for halal-friendly places, and I highly recommend this one. They have amazing vegan options, no pork, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. The noodles are packed with flavor, the ingredients taste fresh, and every dish I've tried has been so satisfying. The place is very clean, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, and the service is great. Everything is prepared beautifully and tastes full of flavor. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. 10/10! read more

We walked in and Kevin welcomed us like we were family. He asked a few questions and then said since it's your first time here I will select your dishes. Kevin entertained us while our lunch was being prepared. The restaurant is so welcoming, with ice cold water on the table. When the spring rolls were presented to us, I knew we were in the right place! My hubby's absolute favorite. If we didn't know, you would never believe these were vegan!! Seriously!! Our 2 dishes were equally as outstanding!! Can't wait to go back & bring our son. read more

seems like this place gets better each time. i've been coming here for about 5 years now, it's so good. The customer service from the owner (kevin) and his wife is truly amazing, they make you feel like more than customers & give great recommendations on what to order based on what you like. the curry soup was so flavorful & filling! the chow mein with the grilled bbq duck was amazing too, the duck had a crispy crunch to it. its a casual vietnamese restaurant, perfect for families & friends. read more

Years ago, when they weren't as popular, but just a small hole-in-the-wall vegan place, the prices were decent (given the market prices) and the owners were also genuinely friendly. However, cut to today where the prices have significantly increased - for the vibe and place - it's not worth it anymore. Also, seeing firsthand the owners seem less friendly and seemingly more money minded, I feel they take their customers for granted knowing there will be demand regardless of how they are or what they charge; this does not sit well with me. Given there has been growth of vegan-vegetarian restaurants, I would support other and newer restaurants instead. read more

Kevin just knows what he's doing truly there's nothing else to say. But I'll continue anyway! Been coming to this place for years, and I'm not even vegan it's just that good! Typically there ate dishes that I come for specifically, like the curry udon noodles with duck (WOW), but then I just tell Kevin what I'm in the mood for like soup, fried rice, spring roll, etc. and he'll ask what level of spicy I want, and create the perfect order. Love the fact that no matter what I get, I know it's going to taste good and be somewhat healthy. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself lol. I typically don't eat there but when I do, there's lots of seating and it's interesting to see what snacks and dried fruit are out and what fruity drinks they have stocked in the fridge. read more

Great food and GREAT for you too. Always appreciate the owner being there and taking time to chat and share what might be new on the menu or maybe new to me. Don't leave without asking for his special spicy sauce. He should bottle it if he could. read more

Great find and agree with the good reviews. In small strip mall of shops. Super friendly family run operation and service with lots of local patrons the owners recognized while we dined. So many choices it can be overwhelming. ALL vegan!!! Ordered: #S9 Bun Mang Vit (Bamboo "duck") #B7 Udon stir fry (duck) #R11 Peking duck spring rolls Surprised ourselves we had all duck dishes!! The duck was so realistic to the texture, flavor and mock crispy skin - so brought back memories of what it was like. Plentiful portions and well worth the cost for a fun delicious lunch. Still busy at 2:00pm Thai tea and mango fruit drink. Chocolate and coconut cake, many desserts not available. Some may not like the paper and plastic service, but so efficient for packing leftovers. Sure it helps keep cost in line. From over 400 miles from home but hope to come back and see what they do with "shrimp" read more

This restaurant has a slogan: I pick you eat. Have eaten at your Cerritos location and had always wanted to try this location too. Was planning to Yelp review this restaurant and finally decided to come in today. Was told by the Cerritos owner that his brother runs this restaurant and I immediately noticed they share a resemblance. There is a video posted to Yelp of their taco which was my first choice but no longer available. So, ordered a Banh Mi sandwich. All ingredients were perfectly flavored. I came in hungry and it was just what I needed. You pay at the register after you finish eating. The owner is pleasant, restaurant is easy to find and it's ideal for a quick meal. read more

We came here to host our friend who has food restrictions and is GF and vegan. We came in at 11am on a Sunday right when they opened. There was a woman who helped us out and offered an elite tier of service--making recommendations and listening to every preference, even offering off menu combo items and specially prepping everything exactly to our tastes. I was very very thankful for this help since I don't spend much time in Vegan or GF spaces. The food came out promptly, and I enjoyed the rolls! The other dishes were tasty and I liked the mushrooms especially. The cutlery and plates are all disposable / paper plates and the food is served in take out containers which makes it easy to pack up and go! We sat at the table for close to 2 hours and never felt rushed or ushered out and so that was very nice since we rarely get to catch up with this treasured friend from out of town. read more

This is literally the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! I can see why people posting all the good reviews, they are well deserved to be one of the best vegan rx in California.

Vinh Loi Tofu - Banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Reseda, California

To start, the staff were very friendly and welcoming! However, $40 for 2 appetizers served on paper plates is wild. I've never been to a dine-in restaurant and had food served on paper plates w disposable utensils. When I think of Vegan, I think of an environmentally conscious lifestyle, so we were very surprised to see no eco friendly practices taking place. The food was nothing special. We got 2 appetizers to start but we finished there bc it wasn't good. Just tasted like the average processed vegan meat with vegetables and carbs. I hope they consider using real cutlery and dish ware, until then, we won't be going back and participating in producing so much trash. read more

Got an order of the bbq "duck" udon noodles yesterday and I'm still thinking about it today! I really loved the marinade the faux duck was in and the texture of the veggie meat perfectly mimicked real meat. It was so hearty and savory. The udon noodles also had a fantastic pillowy texture. The veggies were cooked to perfection as well. And best of all, I didn't feel heavy or weighed down after eating it! read more

Taste is trash. I went with my friend who was vegan at the time. I'm Not vegan. The food was terrible, the service was terrible. I asked for salt, they didn't even have a salt shaker, they went to the back and got salt and put it in a small container. Literally I don't know how they can call themselves a restaurant read more

Been several times and it's always a fun experience with excellent food! One thing I love is how they almost will not let you order yourself, they will ask questions as to what you like and will make dishes according to your preferences. They have never steered me wrong! My favorite items usually include their vegan duck or sparerib. Their fake shrimp is also great. I love the dry dishes such as the teriyaki duck and nothing special fried rice. As far as pho, I love Kevin's #1 pho or the House special. The ham rolls and Peking duck rolls are excellent, and their Boba drinks are outstanding! The last one I got with mango, coconut milk, Boba and pandan jelly was incredible. Only thing I wouldn't order again was the beef lemongrass noodle salad. Not bad, just not nearly as good as the other choices. We look forward to going back many times! read more

Good experience at this vegan restaurant. Generous portions, creative recipes, fast and attentive service. There are several pitfalls that I want to mention though: a bit too much sugar in the sauces, and boiling-hot soup is served in plastic bowls (microplastics, chemical leaching). Such great food deserves being served in ceramic or metal bowls. read more

My first time coming here, I did not expect to have this type of experience not your traditional restaurant. The owner chooses what you will eat and I'm kind of for it really fun. Good time. read more

Came here after picking up my wife from work. I was craving vietnamese food and indian food, and when I found this on Yelp, all I read was duck fried rice. We get to the place and my wife mentioned it's a vegan place and I was thoroughly confused for a second because 1, I didn't read that it was vegan and 2, my stomach was committed to eating duck fried rice. The second we sit down, the waitress advised that it was a vegan restaurant, and I responded like an imbecile "but you have duck?". She chuckled and smiled a bit and said, it's "vegan duck". She did t take offense but asked if we still wanted to eat there. I said, "Why not?" It had great reviews, and I was intrigued about this vegan duck. The waitress (didn't catch her name) kindly suggested that she bring us out an appetizer and a plate to start off with that. I agreed instantly without realizing I didn't order their duck fried rice. I thought I could always order it later. The dishes come out, and to my surprise, she brought out the duck fried rice and what looked like a spam spring roll looking appetizer with a tamarind flavor dipping sauce. The spring roll was what we attacked first. It was very tasty. Lots of flavor and the dipping sauce with the hot sauce they provided were great. After obliterating the first half of my spring roll, I tried the duck fried rice. It was also very good. You get this bbq-ish flavor from the duck, which you can barely tell that it's not duck. For a vegan dish, I was surprised that I didn't really miss the actual protein. It tasted like it was real duck fried rice. The skin on the "duck" also looked like duck skin. After we stuffed our faces, I asked for dessert. The waiter (yes, male and different from the lady we started with) asked if we wanted dessert. I said yes, and he kindly asked where I'm from. I said the Philippines, and he came back out with this halol halo looking drink with coconut milk on top, some coconut jellies of different colors, and chia seeds. The restaurant is a little small and located on a small plaza off Sherman way. I highly recommend trying it out if you are vegan or would like to try a vegan dish for the first time. read more

My mother and I have been coming here for years especially during and after Covid VINH Lo was one of our favorite vegan places to go to. The other day we had the idea to go again since it's been years. Our experience there was disappointing workers had attitude they used to be very customer friendly. The ambiance doesn't seem too sanitary. The food was not the same at all not fresh the spring rolls where too full of lettuce barley any noodles and my stir fry wasn't good either my ham was burnt and our sesame bums what I remembered to be phenomenal tasted had a weird taste to them like they've been out for days. my mother also got rice and ham she was so disappointed as well. They've gotten tremendously overpriced our food was $99. I wouldn't recommend this place anymore. read more

Upfront this place is a five star establishment extremely clean, has a small market with the things you need to take away. You need to check out this place as it is delicious! Service was good, not great, but we are new there so it might be the norm... Let's talk about the food, look at the photos... they e nailed the look and texture of Duck, however it doesn't taste like duck, just the sauce.... However it is still something different. Food is not greasy ! The Cury soup was a tad bit watery and there could have been more cury to the dish but all in all enjoyable! read more

A little disappointing from what I remember. It has been a quite a few years, but I really loved this before. Had the chicken spring roll, the shrimp spring roll and the teriyaki duck salad. The spring rolls were fine, but they were primarily lettuce greens with a little bit of noodle for filling. No herbs and very little flavor. The peanut sauce was delicious, which improved the overall dish. For $11 each (2 spring rolls per order), it was overall underwhelming. The salad was good. More variety with herbs, fresh vegetables and noodles. But for an $18 salad, I think it should have been great. Not sure if my memory was overhyped about the food, or it's a bit of the cost/benefit ratio analysis that comes into play when most everything seems far more expensive than it should be. Either way, I'm not sure I'll be running back soon for more. Atmosphere has not changed. Clean, bright but simple. The service is fairly matter of fact - not unpleasant but not uber friendly either. Glad that there are so many other places to try. read more

Excellent everything! Love the owners. The vibe is perfect and you don't even need to look at a menu. Just ask Kevin. The flavor goat. Bless this family business. read more

Although the food was absolutely amazing, genuinely some of the best vegan food I've had, I was really disappointed with the dine in experience. For a restaurant that represents sustainability and conscious living, serving all dine-in food in plastic takeaway containers feels very contradictory. It not only makes guests feel rushed, but also creates unnecessary plastic waste. Serving hot soup in black plastic containers especially felt concerning, can't imagine all the micro-plastics I ate in this soup. The food itself deserves 5 stars, which is why this was so disappointing to me. If the restaurant switched to washable dine-in plates and bowls, I'd happily update my review, because the quality of the food truly is incredible. read more

Excellent food! The flavor combinations work well together from the soups to the noodles ot definetly makes you want to return for more!

I came to Dinh Loi on my lunch break and placed my order before several people who came in after me to dine inside. When I noticed that they received their food first, I mentioned it to the owner, Kevin. His response was, "You get your food quicker when you eat here." That comment came off as rude and dismissive, especially since I was on my lunch break and had ordered ahead to save time. I've been here before and remember the service being much friendlier, but it seems like now that business has picked up, the attitude has changed. read more

All the hype is real, which explains why sometimes they're too busy for me to get my lazy ubereats fix! I could eat this stuff everyday and be beyond satisfied with life. Just get the duck. It's so worth it. The duck fried rice is hands down my #1 favorite thing to get, with the bbq duck banh mi and pho as close runner-ups. There is some major brujeria happening over here with the veggie meat and I am all for it. Hub is a big fan of the orange chicken over white rice, and I love the fresh veggies and salad that come with it. Epic. I can't help but spend $100 every time I get food here and I have zero regrets. ZERO. Yum yum in my tum! I absolutely owe them an actual in-person visit at some point so I can thank everyone for making something I super look forward to eating! read more

Oh my goodness. I can't stop talking about how good this place is. Kevin, the owner, is very passionate about his restaurant and is very welcoming.

Definitely will be coming back. read more

Had the the most delicious dinner last night ...and ya know what? Every meal I've ever had here has been nothing short of absolutely delicious! Kevin puts his heart and soul into this restaurant and it shows. He and his wife have a loyal following and know what people want to eat. So what did we eat last night? Well, started with the oriental duck rolls. Flavor will burst in your mouth. These are best enjoyed at the restaurant rather than take out as there's an element of crunch that could get soggy by the time one would get the dish home. They're served warm with best peanut sauce I've ever had. My hubby enjoyed Kevin's Special Soup in a spicy lemongrass broth and added steamed dumplings. Soup contained rice noodles, vegan chicken, vegan ham, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, brown onion, red fried shallots, scallions and cilantro. Soup is served with shredded cabbage, mint, bean sprouts, and lime. I really like the yam salad as its so unique. The seasoned yam noodles with spinach, bean sprouts, cucumber, crushed peanuts, fried onions with a light dressing on the side is just fantastic. Even their water is special, last night it was flavored with limes, cukes and oranges....soooo refreshing. If you find yourself Sherman Way, not too far from Tampa, give it a go, you can thank me later! Free parking in the lot out front. read more
