🌴 Ambience: A cute, and homey restaurant with beautiful decor. It is not large, perhaps 5-6 long tables that can be split up. The cutlery and utensils were clean and there was a large variety of sauces to choose from at every table. The owner was very friendly and helpful when choosing what to order.

🍲 Food: The food was delicious. The portion sizes for the soups were absolutely massive! We got the Pho and the Mi Bo Cay, as well as the Hu Tieu Xao. The flavours were amazing, so delicious. We also got the Fried Tofu appetizer, which came with a large amount of tofu pieces that were flavoured and deliciously fried.

🫑 Vegetarian Value: Everything on the menu is vegan. Tell the owner if you drink milk and there's an interesting yogurt drink that she'll suggest to you.

💸 Price: Reasonably priced. Around $70 for three people, with three dishes, an appetizer and a drink.

I am not vegetarian, but I enjoy eating meat alternatives when the flavours are good.  The owner is very friendly and passionate about vegan food.  Most items on the menu aim to mimic popular meat dishes with tofu or TVP heavily seasoned.  I brought a family member from out of town who is vegan.  We enjoyed our meal overall, but found many of the dishes to be overly salty and lacking in that umami that that some vegetarian food suffers from.   The bún bò Huế was one of the tastiest items my family ordered.  The owner continued to upsell us on her “vegan lobster” so we gave it a try.   It had no resemblance to lobster whatsoever but we all enjoyed it, deciding that it was more like a savoury omelette with a crispy exterior.  If I were vegetarian I would probably return.

Incredible vegan Vietnamese cuisine. We enjoyed the spicy mock meat bun bo hue soup. It really hits the spot on a cold winter day. Not for the faint of heart, this spicy, flavourful soup will have you reaching for a towel. We also enjoyed the peking duck and chicken rolls.

Amazing value for money, big portions and knock your socks off flavour. The restaurant brings you back to vietnam - cozy, authentic and no frills vibes. Will definitely be back!

I'm not sure where the other reviews are coming from but seeing that many high ratings, I had to try this place. The problem is, there's not much to desire. First of all, the prices are not exactly great, for example, the spring rolls cost $8 for 2 rolls but they are no bigger than an Oscar Mayer wiener. The taste didn't fair well either, when the kid doesn't even like it you know that's not normal and we thought maybe it was pepper or something. It was just the texture was very powdery.

Being a vegan restaurant you would expect they would know if their food is vegan. Their vegan noodles, of course you'd expect no eggs, but an imitation for the dish. The owner confirmed there's no eggs in their dish, but they said there's no guarantee the supplies of the noodles doesn't use eggs. What???

We went late evening around 7pm, and while selecting the dishes for take out, what seems to be the owner (she was giving commands to others). I always felt a presence of rushing me to make my order, kept saying how it's time to order, and people will be the arriving soon so they would be too busy. We spent half an hour there, not another customer came in, and seeing as the place closes at 8:30pm, there is no way it would get too 'busy'.

Another thing about the prices, you don't even know the prices, it's not in the menu! You have to ask each dish individually, and it'll be whatever number they tell you. Maybe that's dynamic pricing, changes on the mood of the cashier.

Topping it all off, when paying for take-out the first screen is to add tips. This is take out.

Finally got to try this restaurant after having wanted to for quite a while. The bun bo hue, nuggets and spring rolls are very delicious! Prices are very reasonable so I can’t fathom why there would be any complaints. Will be back very soon!
