Thien Tam Vegetarian Restaurant

Tons of vegan options, tasty Vietnamese fare, and the kind of authentic experience you want. Not to mention, the prices are fantastic, especially for LA. While we didn’t love every dish we ordered (learned we didn’t like the ‘gravy’ dishes very much), and it hasn’t replaced our other favorite options in Whittier and Van Nuys, still a good spot. We need to come back again to give it a second try.

Amazing quality & fresh VEGAN food! #18 is the vermicelli bowl w/2 spring rolls - which has chopped lettuce underneath the rice noodles (so it looks like a lot. FYI, getting extra food in a Chinese restaurant is awesome & a blessing!!!) This dish was served with vegan fish sauce! (*I tried asking for the secret recipe & was denied 🤣). My mom wanted the tomato-based soup w/noodles, which was delightful! I really like the house-made tofu because they tasted like fish cakes! We had spring rolls w/peanut sauce (because we requested to it instead of fish sauce) and that was light & flavorful too. I ordered the #6 which the pan fried thick rice noodles w/veggies - this has been my favorite! (Sorry I didn’t include a pic…I ate it too quickly!) Overall, the staff is friendly & knowledgeable of vegan food. I think the prices are very good for unique, tasty, & fresh VEGAN food! I would come back again ❤️

First this is Vietnamese vegetarian. We had the spring roll appetizer with veggie shrimp. One of the best if not the best spring roll I have had in a restaurant. When we do spring rolls at home, we set out a variety of meats, tofu, veggies and lots of fresh mints. Our whole family loves extra mint and these rolls had plenty where most places put literally only a couple of leaves. We had wide noodles with veggies and veggie meats, and the veggie soup with vermicelli pork belly and other soy meats, served pho style with mints, bean sprouts, shredded cabbage. jalapeños. etc. Both dishes were as good or better than other places serving meat. Purchased some vegan spicy flavored soybean Jerry to go. We will definitely be back! Note closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

One of the best vegetarian restaurant in my opinion. The restaurant kinda small but cozy vibe. Nice friendly staff was a plus. Love the tasty food and their good price for quality. Bun Bo chay here is a Must!!

This is a small family run business in a strip mall, nice and clean. Tasty in flavor, big in portion, very reasonable in price. Orders come out fast regardless it is the busy lunch hours. Recommended items: all soup noodles item, plus # 9, 19, and 23.

Very good all vegetarian restaurant...

This restaurant is located in a small plaza with limited parking space. Overall the food was ok. We just happened to ordered the wrong one that we were not thrilled about. I had #18 which was supposed to be a vegan version of #19 but instead of having the fake meat, they gave me spring roll. I thought that had egg in it, no?! Anyway....disregard, I had it. The other one is #15 which was a popular item on the menu. Yet it has too much rice noodles. Not as spicy as we expected. It's still pretty flavorful tho. I don't love this place but think it is pretty okay and decent.
