The Vegetarian Pho is amazing as is the ginger lime tofu! The food is always so fresh and clean - I always leave so satisfied. Really delicious - especially great as we head into the colder months.

One thing that's offten not on the menu in Vietnamese restaurants is something most of them will happily make for vegan patrons: Lemongrass Chlle Tofu. Be sure to ask for the tofu to be fried, so that it's extra chewy. When ordering the cold rice paper wrapped Spring Rolls, insist on having them served with a side of lettuce leaves and fresh herbs, including mint, basil, and, sometimes cilantro, along with sides of peanut sauce and chile paste. These are usually only served with the hot eggrolls, which are also delicious. Wrap the rolls up in the lettuce leaves, along with some fresh herbs, then top with the sauces. Yum. Bon appetit.
