    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. There was an earth day special, and I think my favorite dish I tried was the stir fry pho noodles! I never expected it to taste so good. It was a fast sit down. Theres not a lot of tables so it filled up pretty quickly around 5:30/6 pm

    Phenomenal! I tried the three course prix fixe for two people, which came with an appetizer sampler, two entrees, two drinks, and two portions of flan. The appetizer sampler was beautifully presented and all delicious. The chili tofu had an intensely tart and spicy sauce, the spring and summer rolls were fresh, and the lotus salad was bright and flavorful. The lotus salad was probably my favorite appetizer. For the entrees, the curry pumpkin was my absolute favorite. The root vegetables were all roasted and caramelized, pairing well with the rich and spicy curry. The rice had a nice, almost crumbly texture, which was great. The bun hue was also delicious - a bit spicy, savory, and comforting. It came with a large portion of rice noodles and vegetables. To finish off, the flan was a nice and not too sweet dessert, with nice toasty caramel notes. For drinks, we had the Vietnamese coffee, which was made with oat milk. It was quite good and not too sweet either. The bill came to around $100 with tax and tip, which is pretty reasonable for the huge variety of dishes, large portions, and wonderful taste. I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes.

    I had been wanting to try this vegan Vietnamese restaurant for a while and finally found myself in the neighborhood this past Sunday afternoon. This is a very small, very casual establishment with not a lot of tables. The place was packed. I was able to get a table after a very brief wait and the service could not have been better. I enjoyed a very delicious pho, which was fresh and presented beautifully. Note that this is not a fancy place and there is no alcohol but it is a wonderful place to enjoy delicious vegan Vietnamese food with very polite service!

    To preface, I'm not vegetarian but tried this spot out due to its good reviews, and verdict... pretty tasty! I'm not a fan of imitation meat products, so I stuck with mushroom and tofu dishes and had a good time with that decision. The bun cha gio was pretty close to the traditional version, and it was nice that everything tasted extra healthy.

    #17 Bun Cha Gio / Vermicelli Noodle Bowl with Spring Rolls
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located on the border of Chinatown and lower east side - very small interior with seating for groups of 2-4 people - order at counter and then find a seat - interior is cozy with plants and wooden chairs - ambiance good for a casual meal - food served relatively quickly - no restrooms MENU - Vietnamese selection of appetizers and entrees - all vegan/vegetarian - gluten free options available - average price ($17 per person) FOOD - bun cha gio (8/10): rice noodles with fried tofu puffs, bean sprouts, pickled vegetables, spring rolls, fresh herbs, and a side of vegan fish sauce. This is a very refreshing meal with the cooling herbs and the fresh rice noodles. The spring rolls were my favorite part as they were filled with a variety of vegetables and fried so that they were crispy but not oily. I ordered it spicy but on its own it was not very spicy. The chili oil on the table is a dangerous addition: a little goes a long way. Overall a great meal that is satisfying and unique. WOULD I GO BACK?

    Checked out this place after seeing some social media posts about a vegan Vietnamese restaurant. I would to say the place is okay. It's probably high quality if you are vegan, but I am not. I love trying vegan and vegetarian places. The vegan pork belly is actually pretty okay. It's heavy on the star anise, but essentially you're eating bread on bread action so it's kind of like eating a bread sandwich. I do like the idea of vegan pork belly though. The service is great, but I think it misses the mark with regular people

    Nishad J.

    This is such a cute laid back little vegan Vietnamese restaurant. The banh mih is the star but I've since come back to try a few more dishes. The service here is also fast (but not fast food fast) and friendly and the staff seems to actually enjoy eating here. Good amount of traffic in even the middle of the day.

    We dropped by again beginning of March and this time with a big group of 8 people. The whole group loved the vegan food here, especially everyone the Banh Mi. Yes we tried all the Banh Mi this time. They were super accommodating and we sat at the restaurant for a long time. They were nice enough not to kick us out :) Missed meeting An and Erik this time.

    Broth was delicious and they really did a great job at filling the dish with some vegetables and imitation meat. Felt like a very clean and healthy dish!

    I was hoping to try something new in Chinatown and vegan and found this place with generally good reviews. Well those a reviews are all true. This place was incredible. I hadn't tried any spicy Vietnamese soup before - so I was pleasantly surprised but how delicious this was. I am a big fan of Asian imitation meat for its texture and this place definitely delivered. The owner was super nice and friendly and the space is beautiful! Highly recommend.

    I'm glad I finally got to try this place! They have really good vietnamese food. Which makes me happy cause it is hard finding good viet food in nyc. I was born in vietnam and grew up eating viet food so my standards are pretty high. Not only does this place taste authentic but the fact that its vegan is blowing my mind cause it tastes like the meat counterpart. Highly recommend the spring rolls, bun hue and com tam.

    My friend and I got the bun hui, Vietnamese coriander chili tofu, vegan sausage roll, and mango salad. The prawn crackers in the mango salad were just like the non-vegan version, and they were very good. Both the oatmilk Vietnamese coffee and oatmilk thai tea were just the right amount of sweet, and very refreshing on a summer day. The vegan sausage roll was also delicious, and the peanut sauce was excellent. Highly recommend for fans of Vietnamese food, especially vegan Vietnamese :)

    HUGE fan of this place. So happy more veggie places are opening. The bahn mi and noodles were amazing. I love the variety of fake meats and textures they have. Makes it feel more like the real thing as well. Also the owners and staff are super kind and I can't wait to go back here and support this place :)

    This place is fire! Been here twice, tied lemongrass tofu and "pork belly" and the latter might just be my new favorite mock meat.

    What an experience. Didn't know what to expect from a fully kosher French restaurant, but trust me,…read moreany doubts you may have will be quelled by the time your appetizers come out. Cocktails are a little heavy on the sweetness, but the food is delicious and dessert is insane. Never had key lime pie like that in my life. Pro tip - would go duck breast over duck confit, although both were fantastic. The rack of lamb was also divine. Only criticism is that service could use some improvement, a few of our appetizers were incorrect & we felt rushed to leave at the end. But otherwise no notes, would highly recommend that anyone check this place out.

Passed hors d'oeuvres included beef carpaccio, ahi tuna tostadas, short rib gnocchi, and patatas bravas. For dinner, we were given a choice of three appetizers: roasted caufliower, lamb riblets, or brussel sprouts with lamb bacon; a choice of four entrees: duck confit risotto, ora king salmon with coconut curry, tournedos au poivre, or cote do boeuf. The three dessert options were apple streudel, affogato "al caffe", and key lime pie. I ordered brussel sprouts, duck, and key lime pie, and Eric R. got lamb riblets, ora king salmon, and apple streudel. I think he regretted offering me a lamb riblet because it was ridiculously tender and melted in my mouth. What is truly amazing is this is a meat restaurant, so the ice cream, risotto, gnocchi, and other dishes that we think of as dairy-based were non-dairy, and still completely amazing! It was definitely the fanciest kosher restaurant I have even been to in my life. The restaurant was so packed that we could not hear most of the speeches, which were given into a microphone attached to a small speaker near the bride's and groom's family's table. I do not fault the restaurant for its popularity though! The menu is really fun so I think it would be cool to return here for a special occasion. It is also located in midtown Manhattan which is very convenient for transportation. B'teavon!
