Veggie Life Restaurant — Restaurant in Rosemead

This is a rare find and gem in South El Monte! If you're looking for vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese food, this is the place for you. Super affordable, fresh quality, and delicious.

I ordered the popular dish Bun Bo Hue, Shredded Pork Spring Rolls, and a sugarcane drink. Total was $21.30. My thoughts:

Bun Bo Hue ($7): yum! I'm not an expert on this dish but the broth was yummy, great seasoning, enough spices (not too spicy), and big portion. Great amount of veggie meats, bean curd, mushrooms, and comes with a separate bag of shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, lemon, and basil. Amazing quality and value

Shredded Pork Spring Rolls ($7 / 4x): really yummy and comes with what seems to be a vegan fish sauce along with pickled carrots and radish as a side. Very fresh and filling

Sugarcane drink: I was most excited for this because it has been a long time since I've had sugarcane juice. It was very light, refreshing, not sweet at all and was infused with kumquat! My first time having it like this and was a good mix! When I first saw the portion, thought "wow. $5 for such a big cup!" Only to find out that they fill the cup with ice MORE THAN halfway. Bummer but still delicious.

Overall, YES PLEASE ORDER FROM VEGGIE LIFE. Very yummy. Please note: they speak limited English so cannot be too detailed or ask too many questions over the...

Very disappointing experience today; person working blamed the wrong menu item I ordered that was named in a captioned photo for google reviews as the problem. I asked on phone whether it was a soup and he said yes but it wasn't at all, when I showed him a picture of what I wanted he said that wasn't the menu item named in photo. He did not try to correct the misunderstanding, instead he gave me some liquid for dipping, a condiment, not any sort of soup or broth. So it is best to order in person I think.

Update: I recently ate someplace Vietnamese where I definitely ordered soup and it was similar to what I was served on this occasion. I thought of it as a dipping condiment because it was more like a very light broth, (maybe it's strained?), than what I'm accustomed to as soup. It was not what I wanted but I blame that on poor communication on...

Amazing and delicious food delivered by a hard working team. The arrays of flavors will take you to Vietnam for sure.

I completely enjoyed all the dishes. The portions are excellent for the price.

First had the mock beef noodle, bun bo hue, and that was supper good. The right amount of spice and lots of fresh items such as bean sprouts and mint basil.

I later ordered another dish that I used to get in Vietnam. I comes with noodles, spring rolls, vegan beef, vegan fish sauce, pickled carrots and jimaca root, and a mocked shredded pork. It has a nice combo of sweet, sour, and a little spice.

Wow! Sooooooo good. I could eat here everyday and not have the same...
