Delicious Vietnamese Coffee and other things

I visited this place again and it seems that they have improved a lot. Their Banh Mi is delicious but I especially like their Vietnamese Coffee called Cafe Sua Dua in Vietnamese. It is a strong coffee combined with heavy cream(vegan in this case) and probably some vegan condensed milk.
I also bought the items on their steamed tables: stuffed bitter melon soup(hub likes this), stuffed tofu in tomato sauce, and lemongrass fish. They cooked everything vegan.

I saw that they sell my favorite vegan fish sauce too(24 vegan brand) which I use for cooking. Yay!

I will be back!

Pros: Prices , Quality, Taste

My go-to place for party trays…

This isn’t necessarily the place to go to if you’re looking for good ambience. It’s that hole in the wall restaurant that packs a wallop in terms of flavorful vegan food. I’ve had their combination plates where you can choose from a variety of items from stir fried veg to their vegan egg and more. I primarily order from their party tray menu whenever I want to bring something to a family event. Usually, their options are good enough for both vegans and non-vegans to enjoy. I recommend their “Vegan Eggrolls” and their “Vegan Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice”. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their items if I’m being honest. Also, they do have grocery type items for sale such as plant-based curries and vegan jerky.

Pros: Great place to go for party trays , Nice service

Cons: Not the best ambience

Authentic and delicious

Very humble, authentic, and delicious food Vietnamese. We tried several items including two Bahn Mi sandwiches and spring rolls. Everything was tasty and we also found it to be much cheaper than the average vegan restaurant.

As others mentioned they have a whole frozen section as well where you can buy items to cook for yourself.

Delicious bahn mi sandwiches at a great price.

I love that it is a vegan restaurant with a nice frozen section. You can buy vegan meats frozen and prepare at home. The sandwiches are large and delicious. The prices are very reasonable. #Veganuary

Delicious Bahn Mi

I love their bahn mi! The bread is crisp and delicious, and there are several different options. They also sell a ton of unique, frozen vegan products like cuttlefish

Pretty good

I have only gone here once, it was pretty good food. I had the Vermicelli Noodles. The restaurant is small and run down in appearance. The service was ok, not very friendly. I would try again.

It's good, but still needs some work.

I gave this place 4 chances and they seem to forget my order of thai tea not only that, it also always tastes watered down and it's always full of ice, barely taste the sweet of the beverage, so I don't get as much of the drink. And plus the prices went up too, and got a different sandwich than the one I wanted, when it was too late when I got home. But other than that, the soups are good and the vegan steaks are filling, and enjoyed their new meals and sandwiches, too, when they got my order right. The place just needs better memory skills and more waiters and be considerate of the payment I give to enjoy my meal, make it worth more to feel satisfied.

Pros: Great vegan broth, different vegan sandwiches, and, different meals, love the sugar cane beverage.

Cons: Needs more waiters, need to improve memory skills., watered down drinks.

Great prices, amazing Vietnamese food!

Everything I’ve tried here is so good! I’ve even gotten some of my “anti-vegan anything” friends to try it, and they loved it! The pho is so flavorful, the rolls are excellent, and OMG the beef banh mi!!!

Pros: Reasonable prices, Flavorful food with great textures, Deli, vegan snacks, steam table

Cons: The parking lot is dicey, but well worth it

Pretty Good

This place was good, lots of options to choose from. Next time I want to try the takeout. In general though, I have had better veg Vietnamese food. Would need to try more things to get a better idea of this place.

They sell a lot of mock meats, that are harder to find so stock up when you're here!

Pros: Lots of options

INCREDIBLE AND GREAT PRICES

A large selection of flavorful meat substitutes, super inexpensive, and excellent quality and service. It's a broke hungry vegan's dream. All the food is vegan, they do have a refrigerator with teas that have honey. The staff is friendly and ready to answer any questions you have. It's my new favorite place! Also has vegan cookies, cheesecake and tiramisu.

Pros: All vegan food, huge serving sizes, best prices

Good

Cafeteria style type of place. You order at the counter. Food is good, fresh and inexpensive; most dishes are under 10$. Place is a bit run down and small; good for lunch or takeout but not for dinner for a date - not an upscale place.

Pros: Good and fresh and inexpensive.

Cons: Not cosy and a bit run down. , Not particularly clean.

great food and price point

Good banh mi only $4.50. The rice dishes are a little more expensive, but are much larger dishes. The spare-rib/shredded meat/bean curd pie rice dish is good. The spare ribs are like a juicy duck style. The shredded meat is not my favorite, it has like a grainy coating. The bean curd pie is strange, but so delicious. It's like a tofu omelette with noodles inside, and tastes like onion crisps. So tasty!

Minus a star for selling drink with honey in it

Pros: also doubles as a vegan meat mart

Cons: not entirely vegan - sells tea w/ honey, Banh mi will destroy your mouth

In love

From food to costumer service, everyone that works there are extremely nice. If you have questions or you have a picture of the plate you saw online but don't know the name of it, they will be there to help you. They're going to need to find a bigger place since they do get super busy. I extremely recomend this place.

Pros: Food wise everything is vegan and delicious.

Cons: Saw some teas in the fridge that had honey.
