We walked for 30 minutes from our hotel, filled with high hopes for our meal at Vegetarian House Vegan, which boasted an impressive 4.6 rating on Google Reviews. Upon our arrival, however, we were informed that indoor dining was only available on weekends, leaving us with the outdoor seating option. Initially, we tried to remain optimistic and chose a table, but to our dismay, we were met with a strong smell of urine in that area. We quickly moved to another table, hoping for a better experience. Next, we attempted to place our order via the QR code, but the process proved frustratingly slow. After about 20 minutes, we still encountered issues with card payment, adding to our stress as we were on a tight schedule for medical appointments. To make matters worse, our meals were served on disposable plates, bowls, and utensils—something we hadn’t anticipated based on the reviews we read. Regardless of whether these disposables were biodegradable, it detracted significantly from the dining experience. Eating from proper plates and using real cutlery enhances the enjoyment of a meal, and the use of disposables reminded me of the less favorable takeaway experiences during the pandemic. Thankfully, we always carry our own stainless steel chopstick set, which at least provided some comfort. Now, let’s discuss the food itself. We ordered Bun Hue, stir-fried mixed vegetables, and Malaysian fried curry noodles. As someone from Malaysia, I was particularly looking forward to the curry noodles, but I was disappointed to find them overly saturated with coconut milk—far from the authentic flavors I know. Both noodle dishes were excessively soggy, and the Bun Hue soup had a taste that was quite peculiar. The only redeeming dish was the mixed vegetables, which were nicely prepared. Overall, the experience felt more like dining in a national park without proper amenities, rather than enjoying a meal at a well-reviewed restaurant. It was disheartening to miss out on what could have been a wonderful dining experience in San Jose. 😕😕😕 Read less

We went here for Mother’s Day lunch! Even though it looks crowded we didn’t have to wait for long, it’s a big place. It seems very popular people kept coming in constantly. We had mango salad, mushroom kebab, pot stickers, and for main course pineapple fried rice and spicy mambo, everything was great, tasted amazing. We also had vegan desert, they have couple of options, we ordered strawberry cloud cake. It was delicious! Really enjoyed the vibe and food here, we will be back Read less

We were not aware that they have indoor dining only on limited days but the food did not disappoint.. Their menu is all vegetarian and a massive menu to choose from. If the indoor dining is shut they have this outdoor seating and one can order and eat there and its self service. Read less

As a regular omnivore, the vegan options at this restaurant did not make me miss meat. On the contrary, some of the items, if I was not told what they were, I would have not guessed they were vegan. I actually did not enjoy the desserts so I can't recommend them, but my favorite dishes that we tried were the Queens Joy, Spicy chacha (not actually that spicy), the crispy mushrooms and the caulipower. I would gladly go back for any of those dishes. The mango salad was also nice. Everything in general was yummy so you can't really go wrong. The staff were very friendly and nice to us, even though we were a big group. I didn't get to take pictures of some of the dishes because our group ate them so fast. Read less
