      My family and I have been coming to this place for years! I love the quality, and everything is soo fresh. I get the Vegan Combination Banh Mi, and their Vietnamese coffee. The coffee is so good! I get all jittery though.
      My family has pretty much tried every thing on their menu like the Spring Rolls, Vegan Egg Roll (we get these in trays of 40) and the Vegan Combination Fried Rice. They're all delicious and very good quality. The family working are so sweet as well. The seating is limited by everything is so nice and clean. I highly recommend this place, it's more than exceptional!

      Lent season has come and I am giving up meat for 40days.
      I was just in the area to do my taxes and I looked up vegetarian spots. This place popped up as the closest to the office. Had to check it out. Bout two orders each of the #2 & #7. So far the vegan beef is pretty good. I wish the beef prices were marinated longer for intense flavor. The pork one is different. A little to jello like, but flavor wasn't bad. Sugarcane and café sua da drinks are yummy.

      Off day for them based on the high average reviews. Super slow Sunday, but yet they don't pay attention to the few dine-in customers that they have. There was a solo diner when we arrived and no one in line.

      The broth in our vegan beef soup was lukewarm from the start, and we had to ask for napkins 2x. I told them that we were sharing 3 entrees so bring an extra bowl, but they forgot and took awhile to bring it out, leading to even more lukewarm-ness. It did take only 10-15 min for our multiple entrees to comer.

      The spring rolls were ho hum average with very little greens. The combo fried rice was dry, so we picked at the proteins and veggies. The owner manager was more fixated on replenishing his dried inventory than looking over whether we could use anything.

      The passionfruit drink was refreshing, albeit sugar laden. One dedicated parking space helps during busy strip mall time frames.

      I can't see myself returning here with so many nearby options. I left a tip nevertheless because I'm not a jenky patron.

      The BBQ chicken banh mi was tasty and the sugarcane water even more delicious. The man who took my order wasn't very friendly.

      I've been on a personal mission to find great tasting vegetarian and vegan/plant-based Vietnamese food and I'm super glad I found Thien Dang. I've only ever ordered from them on Grubhub but it's never been disappointing. My husband and I have tried quite a few of their banh mis, and I think their beef is my favorite one! I haven't had real beef in about 4 years now and theirs satisfied my craving - love the lemongrass on it.

      I also recently got their version of a combination broken rice and I liked it, but didn't love it. The shredded pork had a good texture and taste and so did the spare rib, but the bean curd pie left something to be desired. Also, the daikon and carrots weren't actually pickled which is weird since it's supposed to be Đồ chua. I let them sit in the fish sauce for a while and then added it to my rice and it was alright then.

      Their bun Bo hue (not pictured) was okay, it wasn't the best but it did the trick. The broth was very oily though and I wish it had more veggies or things in it and a stronger lemongrass flavor. I also wish they had given me extra saté like I requested because that would've definitely helped.

      Love this place it's such an affordable vegan option everytime I've been here the the employees were helpful and patient. It's a small shop with a lot of vegan freezer food, from shrimp, to chicken, even eggs ! They also carry vegan fish sauce and jerky it's super cool and convenient. I get the #4 bahn mi (meatloaf) it's $8 and it's basically a whole baguette to your self super big, you definitely get a bang for your buck. I would recommend this place to anyone who's interested in authentic Vietnamese vegan food 10/10.

      I was craving Vietnamese banh mi flavors, and this place popped up on my Yelp feed. It was the first ever find for vegetarian/vegan options for banh mi, and it did not disappoint! They also sell items that you can just pick up and take home to add to your meals, kind of reminds me of a mini grocery. Wish there were more non egg AND no tofu options. Will definitely be back to inquire and try other options!

      We found this great vegan Banh Mi sandwich cafe and market thanks to Yelp.

      I've been hella craving a Banh Mi BBQ sandwich ever since the 7 Vegan Market in Orange introduced it but stopped selling it due to their new next door neighbor, Vegan Subs.

      Footlong sandwiches at a very reasonable price are made when you order. The #5 (Vegan Teriyaki Chicken) & #6 (Vegan BBQ Chicken) are our favorites. We always get two of each...save one for later. Refrigerated drinks and made-to-order coffee or tea are available. Plenty of tables inside.

      They also have a to-go food buffet which they recently added the dish names. Can't wait to try the vegan fish dish.

      A ton of vegan meat substitutes and vegan seasonings that they have also finally added pricing.

      Employees are polite. They accept cash or credit card. Order catering in person; I don't think anyone checks their website order/messages.

      Vegan Vietnamese shop that specializes in banh mi and homestyle dishes. They also sell dried and refrigerated vegan items here. One of the items I usually order is the banh mi dat biet which is their special combination sandwich where you can mix and match 3 different types of meat. I chose bbq chicken, tuna and shredded meat. The banh mi was flavorful, savory and tasty. I love the creaminess of the vegan mayonnaise and the fresh, crisp veggies that they use. The bread that they use here is always fresh and crispy. I have also tried the teriyaki chicken banh mi which was average. I've had many different types of vegan meats however, the meat from this particular sandwich didn't stand out. The chicken doesn't have a shredded texture which I think would've improved the taste. The texture was more like mushroom and the flavor was on the overly salty end.

      Customer service here is good and the employees are nice. The parking lot is small however, there is always a good amount of parking since that plaza isn't too busy. Overall, I recommend coming here for their delicious and quality vegan banh mi sandwiches.
