amazing

This place is absolutely amazing. Every dish you get is sure to please. I've had my meat eating friends try it and they have all been so pleased. It is truly a hidden gem in the middle of some strip mall in Westminster.

Pros: price, variety, quality
Cons: parking

too many drawbacks

2 Posted on 02 / 06 / 2013

I rarely review restaurants. However, since I feel safe when patronizing a Happy Cow restaurant and had several bad experiences in one visit, I felt inclined to tell my story. Poor service is not unusual;I became quite thirsty since my waiter left me alone for quite a long time and eventually went up to the counter and got in their face for more water. But when I felt that strange slightly paralytic sensation I get when I have ingested MSG, I decided I needed to review this restaurant and warn Happy cow people who may have very strong opinions about MSG. When I politely mentioned the MSG to the hostess, I am pleased to say that she admitted that they do use "a little" MSG. This is disappointing because these days MSG in Asian restaurants is much less common; My hope would be that with real Vietnamese in the kitchen, perhaps even experienced vegetarian/Buddhist cooks, that good flavor might be obtained without MSG use, sadly, not so here. Another unpleasantness was likely a condition difficult for the owner to remedy. My table was near the back and halfway through my meal i began to smell an unpleasant bathroom smell. Any of these things alone would have been OK but I was hoping to take a vegetrian friend here, now I will find another restaurant. Too bad. Nice try, BDTTC, but too many black marks. Try harder and challenge your cooks to get rid of the MSG. We appreciate the all vegetarian oasis.

Pros: extensive menu-easy to find grain-free , better decor than most in 'hood
Cons: disinterested service, poor ventilation-bathroom smell in DR, MSG used

Great food and ambiance. If you don't speak Vietnamese, then they will find someone who speaks English for you. This place is authentic so expect to not only eat authentic food, but to have a Vietnamese experience! This restaurant is now my fave!

Pros: Authentic food
Cons: Charges for water

Bo De Tinh Tam Chay-Charges for Tap water!

2 Posted on 07 / 26 / 2010

They don't speak English very well and will charge you for a glass of tap water on top of a $30 bill($1). The waiter brought us the wrong food at one point and expected us to accept/pay for it. The food was OK. I won't return here, though; unfriendly atmosphere.I really feel this place deserves 1 cow but it won't let me do that...

Pros: ok food, pretty decor
Cons: charges for water!!, dirty/sticky floor, unfriendly, poor English.

Bo De Tinh Tam Chay, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... Delicious food at very affordable prices, the staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful! Also the interior is very interesting - a fun place to hang out with some good friends and enjoy a wholesome vegan meal.

Pros: Curry Bread, Vermicelli dishes, Atomosphere
Cons: More booths would be nice...

Pass on this place people..Never had anything so bland in my life..Over priced and the staff wasn't that friendly.

There are many other great vegan places in the area.

Pros: nice clean place
Cons: food is terrible, overpriced

the staff is friendly and The environment is incredibly beautiful and the food is incredibly good!I highly recommend this place for family dinners,lunch, going with friends, etc.
The price is very reasonable, they definitely have food presentation in mind, They do a great job of creating traditional fleshy Viet dishes for the veggie denizens of the OC. Try com Phu Chuc Ca Kho To,Vege. fish stew wiht rice and Banh mi carri, French bread with vege. carri SOOOO GOOD LOVE IT!
