Order for pick up through their website. Very easy and the staff was nice! Great option for vegetarians who are looking for a more flavorful meal.
Our waitress had marvelous energy and real passion about the menu and the restaurant's guiding mission: serve delicious and healthy vegan food! We shared 5 items between the three of us. The portions are generous and the price is fair, but the main point of this review is: this is excellent and delicious vegan food served up by a positive and up-beat wait-staff!
Vegetarian House's mock meat dishes are mind-blowing! Their sustainable practices and compostable packaging make me feel even better about eating here
Here are the best choices: *Nachos *Dumpling Soup *Blossom Sandwich *Tempura *Eggplant Tofu *Pad Thai *Tiramisu Okay/unreliable choices: * Fresh rolls / spring rolls *Quinoa sushi * Chow fun Definitely avoidable: *Chow mein (overcooked, flavorless, almost all noodles) *Dal (super salty) *Hummus (no flavor) *Crispy mushroom delight (so expensive and you barely get anything)
Went here on Sunday for lunch with friends! There's a parking lot on the side and the place has a good amount of seating inside. I think there's seating outside too but it was closed off the day we came. The inside of the restaurant is really cute! I really liked the colorful stain glass windows. The menu has a variety of kinds of food, from asian food to burgers. I got the pad thai which was huge, very warm and filling. They definitely give you big portions and at a reasonable price. The service was great and kind as well, would definitely come again to try other dishes :))
Since the name of the restaurant is "Vegetarian House - Vegan," the name could be changed to "Vegan House." Raw Spicy Thai Wrap and Eggplant Bliss were both very good. Pho, Ginger Tea, and Chocolate Chip Cookie were all good. The restaurant is kept clean. Service is friendly and attentive. The vibe was lively on a Saturday morning, with diverse patrons.
Wonderful family-run business located in the heart of San Jose. Very happy to have come here with my friend who has been vegan for 5+ years. She loves the pho and for good reason! I tried the Guru curry and loved it too, not as spicy as it is marked to be. Water and utensils are all self-serve, and food comes out pretty quickly. Service is very sweet and quick.
* I'm very biased as I love vegetarian house!! I've been stopping by since college. * The outdoor area is so warm, and pleasant. The indoor is clean and modern. * The food has always been so good. Stopped by with friends recently and in the past and will say I've enjoyed all of the dishes I've had. * The curries have deep, rich flavors. The soup with tofu skin is for sure one of the best I've had. The noodles have a great bite. The fried options have a nice crunch as well. * The employees are talkative and extremely friendly. They make you feel very welcome when you chat back!
I've been eating at the VH for over 6 years (since I was a student at SJSU). It's a restaurant that is always consistent when you're in the mood for Asian vegan food. It is 100% vegan. I haven't been back since right after the reopened during the Covid pandemic. That's when they shut down their indoor dining and were only doing to-go. I went back this weekend and expected their indoor dining space to be open but nope!! They're still closed for indoor dining, apparently for renovations? They did spiffy up their outdoor eating space but it still feels like I'm eating on a park bench lol. The area isn't the best so I really can't wait for their indoor space to reopen. When you arrive, you order at the window or at your table and then you get a notification to pick up your food when it's ready. Such a shame they package everything even when you order to eat outdoors, not eco friendly at all. The outdoor space has self serve water and sauces available for you to use as you please. This time around I ordered their spring roll noodles. It was packaged to-go so I was surprised that they put the dressing in for me. The veggies were DRENCHED which made it overall too sweet for my liking. If the food is packaged they really should put dressing on the side. I really enjoyed their soy protein and the spring rolls though. It's a nice portion so you definitely get your moneys worth. Overall, if you are looking for 100% vegan food, you can't really go wrong with the VH. They have an extensive menu so there is something for everyone if you're dining with a group.
