The food was excellent. Lots of vegan options. Andy, the owner came out several times to see how we were doing.

Fantastic vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant. Each dish was flavorful, you really don't need meat! My favorite was the clay pot fish dish, but I think you can't go wrong ordering here. The workers are nice and the interior reminds me of Vietnamese restaurants from when I went to Vietnam

Clean and quiet restaurant with very quick service. We came on an extremely hot summer day and decided to cool ourselves down with piping hot noodle soup. We ordered the papaya salad, bun hue thanh tinh, and pho bo de tam. We were very impressed with the fresh and flavorful papaya salad. I have tried a lot of papaya salad from different restaurants and this one is definitely one of the top ones I've had. I only wished it was complimented with a more authentic, less salty sauce. Both our noodle soups were very soothing and flavorful with extremely fresh ingredients. The portion size were very generous as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh, vegan Vietnamese food!

I've never had a bad dish from here. Close your eyes and randomly choose and you can't go wrong!
I can't remember the names of the dishes, but the sliced beef noodle dish is my go-to. They way they season the meat is soooo devine. I usually feel the need to add some type of sauce on top of Asian or Vietnamese food, but the flavors are so balanced here that there's no need. Imma still add chili oil tho lol.
Everything is very filling and of good value.
I highly recommend the spring rolls and fried rolls as well. The fried ones are mini and come out steaming hot and fresh. So hot that your mouth will begin to water as you open your mouth to eat it! The innards are vegetables but there's an additional meaty component inside that makes it soooo craveable and good! Just delicious!
The owners are sweet as well. She's vegan too and told me that one day, I will find my vegan husband.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Dec 5, 2021

Let's get straight to the point: BEST VEGAN BUN BO HUE. That's it. I'm Vietnamese and since my vegan journey of more than 2 years I haven't been able to find a satisfactory bun bo hue. My favorite ones ever have always been in Viet Nam at a little stall in the market or the neighborhood house that makes it to sell. Here I ordered bun bo hue and cha gio. Do take my review with a grain of salt because I had been hungry for daysssss, well really just 1 day because I was on a train. Lol.
The bun bo hue here comes with a paste and you should definitely add it to your bowl. It has banana blossom as a veggie to add, but in addition to that I would also love some morning glory. The broth was well seasoned and not overly sweet like a lot of over bun bo hue and the mushrooms, tofu, and "meats" have well absorbed the flavor of the broth too.
The cha gio (eggrolls, spring rolls) were fine. I didn't hate it, but I didn't think they were extra great either.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Megan M.Sacramento, CA389179Nov 18, 2022
This place exceeded all expectations. Legit Vietnamese people in the kitchen and dining in. Excellent vegan and vegetarian options with an authentic and delicious flavor profile. Great service. Ambiance is homey.
We got the bun bo hue, soy "chicken" rice plate, and soy "beef" spring rolls. Would 100% come back again to try their other dishes!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tuyet B.Sacramento, CA303029Jan 6, 2023
Today we order a few dishes as a family meal type, with Sour Soup, a braised dish, eggroll and jackfruit salad. Food is always good and healthy. I love the braised and its black peppercorn flavor.
Best vegan restaurant in town.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Laura Q.Chico, CA2158Sep 6, 2022
I really wanted to like this place based on the reviews and the fact that it caters to vegetarian/vegans. However I got the B1 and the egg rolls and was not impressed. I'm not a very picky eater but I didn't even finish my food.
The egg roll filling threw me off I would have liked more veggies, carrots cabbage ect. but they were filled with glass noodles and faux meat. I didn't like the flavor of the wrap either.
The pho flavor was overpowered by star anise, the noodles were very over cooked to the point that I couldn't enjoy eating them. This is the main reason I didn't finish my food. The noodles felt like straight mush in my mouth. This only got worse with time. The portion is smaller than your average bowl of pho. The tofu was okay nothing special. I didn't try any of the faux meat based on my experience with the egg rolls. I also would have enjoyed some bokchoy, carrots or other veggies in the soup. (This is just a personal preference, something that I enjoy from other pho places.) I asked for veggies on the side and they very kindly steamed some bok choy and cabbage for me. I'm sure that some of the items on the menu are good, however I will not be returning.
Giving them a 3 star rating simply because the staff was so attentive and kind.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
