We ordered the #17 Soup and added chicken plus a poached egg — it was delicious! We loved it so much that we went back to try the taro chips with house-made dip, and those were amazing too.

The ladies working there were so joyful and shared that they put a lot of love and emotion into their soups — and you can truly taste it.

Highly recommend! 🌟
November 2025
The Saigon Bowl was very tasty especially becaue of the extra broth (coconut curry). However not the entire menu is vegan. The price is fair since the portion size is pretty decent.
October 2025
I ordered the Midnight Swim Bowl (wild rice, tofu, bean curd skin and a mix of veg). The spiced peanut sauce provided a little kick and the portion was large and filling. Service was quick and friendly. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-21
