A few dollars cheaper than Bo De Tinh Tam Chay, with good food overall. The clay pot rice was a bit too chewy and not quite up to par, but everything else was enjoyable. This is definitely a new place I’d come back to.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

A few dollars cheaper than Bo De Tinh Tam Chay, with good food overall. The clay pot rice was a bit too chewy and not quite up to par, but everything else was enjoyable. This is definitely a new place I’d come back to.
I’ve only been here twice, but it’s become a must whenever a family trip to Disney rolls around. The food is fresh, delicious, and comes out quick. They have a nice menu that isn’t limited or too overwhelming. Affordable and welcoming establishment.

This place changed my perspective on vegetarian restaurants. Easily recommendation from me! Used to always be a proud meathead but had a respect for vegetarian/vegan restaurants as I believed they had to be good to be around. After giving Hoa Sen a try with some friends, I realised that meat isn't always the best thing in a meal. Almost every single order I've had here has been a smash. The Happy Hoa Sen salad is usually a staple when I go with friends to share. Vegetarian food already feels light in general but this was a great refresher between bites. The Com Dap is a comforting crunchy-ish rice dish that feels like a sure hit with anyone indecisive. The claypot rice is my favourite meal here for sure, reminding me of an amazing rice and mushroom dish at a now closed tapas restaurant. These two rice dishes come with their own sauces if I remember right that absolutely change the way the meal tastes, and not just like adding soy sauce. The house special fried rice is a nice familiar staple for those less adventurous, and it's impressive that there's even vegetarian pork floss! The Mi Xao Gion isn't much to write about though, as I'm not much of a mi xao person. The servers are all very nice and friendly, with the restaurant making good use of space although on the cozier side. The food doesn't crank out fast but you won't be waiting too long.
