I am totally in love with this place They have ample prking outside the restaurant a lot of umbrellas and couches for outdoor seating. Its an all veg restaurant and the meat names u find in their menu are all fake meats that have textured soy to make u feel like u r eating non veg. Personal all time hits 5/5 for me: 1. Pad thai - i usually order it with soft tofu 2. Hot spicy noodle n veggie soup- big portion 3. Kung pao veggies - i like it extra spicy 4. Mango salad 5. Thai iced tea - just the perfect pairing for lunch 6. Egg rolls - greasy but yummy 7. Spicy fried rice - amazing 8. Mushroom clay pot rice- not spicy 9. Green bean and tofu - they call it "garlic" so yum and i ask for the beans to be cooked well done Tips: 1. U can order chilli paste/ spicy red sauce on side 2. U can ask for extra jalapeno on the side and they will get u some chopped pieces in a bowl 3. U can share your iced tea with a mate saying u need an extra glass 4. U can ask for tofu to be fried or soft as per your liking Friendly servers and decent pricing. I usually call and then order takeout. Do leave good tips during this pandemic times #supportlocal

Thank you for all the years of delicious vegan and vegetarian foods. I really enjoyed the pho, and wish everyone there the best with the next chapter in life. Hugs and thank you.

OMG absolutely one of my favorite vegan restaurants anywhere! Vegetarian and vegan restaurants are plentiful around the Bay Area, given the environmentally conscious vibes of this region. So how is it that I can say this restaurant is one of the best I've tried?! Its the care the chefs put into the food. All the flavors and aromas are enhanced by reaching the appropriate temperatures and their crispy noodles have that high heat fry aroma to them. What haven't I tried from this place? Almost nothing! Some favorite go to items I recommend are the Clay Pot Rice (if you're dining in because eating it out of a clay pot makes all the difference), kabob platter, garden burger with curly fries, and the spicy noodle soup! Can't go wrong with their menu or their phenomenal service.

This place is my new favorite for smoothies. I think I will go have another now. They also have a delicious menu. The spring rolls were just right.

Great value, amazing burgers and just overall fun place to eat up until 12am to curb any night time urge.I highly recommend their burgers as they are juicy, well priced and consistent.Love this place!!!

Pretty out-of-this-world German sausage joint! They have a ton of interesting flavors and meats to choose from so you can't go wrong! Make sure you get a nice tall glass of beer to go with your dog and definitely upgrade your fries to the truffle oil- you will NOT regret that! I wasn't overly impressed by the two sauces I chose (chipotle ketchup and sweet and sassy bbq) but good ole fashion ketchup was just fine for me. Don't expect this to be your $1.50 Costco dog but you'll practically be eating gourmet so go for it! I got the mango chicken dog (not pictured sorry) but clearly it was too delicious to wait for the picture.

Consistently flavorful and accurate. We've dined in, gotten takeout and the food has been amazing every time. Some of our favorites: Claypot rice, yellow curry, and the pho, but pretty much anything you order from here will be phenomenal.

I didn't understand the constant line outside of this place, now I know :- chicken pieces are very generous size and with juicy meat.- the mild and medium flavors are the best and very well balanced.I also tried the Howlin spice level... wow this thing is not a joke and the warning is true. Never had so spicy rub but it tasted soooo good

Cute Vegetarian restaurant. I ordered the lotus salad which tasted so refreshing. Outbdoor seating available. Service is fast also. Many food options to choose from. Can't wait to try their other menu items. Portions size generous.

Ordered take out tonight as I haven't tried it since it was the Green Cafe years ago. I remember it having vegan "orange chicken" at the time that was delicious and I wanted to try it again recently. I decided to order quite a few things as I haven't had the opportunity in the past to give it a chance. My husband picked it up and brought it all home and we were both excited to give it a shot. First impressions I thought the orange soy nuggets were missing and they gave me the wrong order as the nuggets were just fried balls separated from the sauce, the sauce being a lot more watery than I remember. I also was confused as to the chow main was much thinner than any chow mein from any other restaurant, and did not look as appealing. But still was hopeful in giving it a go. The rest looked fine as we ordered the orange soy nuggets, chow mein, kung paper, egg rolls and white rice. Everything was good or okay, again the orange soy nuggets would have been better in a stickier sauce. But the chow mein was awful to the point we ended up not really eating it at all. It tasted bland and also like something you get cheap in a box at a grocery store. Probably won't be coming back as I was pretty disappointed. But I won't say its not worth a try for others as maybe there's something someone will like more than we did.
Yummy vegan food... Definitely recommend the clay pot rice, spicy hue city soup, pad thai & spring rolls (that peanut sauce is delicious) I also throw in some of that peanut sauce on my pad Thai.

I haven't been here in years. But I was walking my dog on Honolulu and saw they were closed for breakfast but the coffee bar was open. I went in and enjoyed a muffin and a cup of coffee that tasted better than the regular coffee houses. The Christmas decor was up and it was beautiful. The place was cozy and the staff were a lovely group of people. So i say forget Starbucks and coffee Bean. You need to go here and sit back enjoy the morning brew.

Good food. Good atmosphere. The turkey burger got a bit too complex with seasonings taking over the taste too much. Simplify it.The pretzel is amazing.Fries are great. Beers great.

Hands down one of the best Vegan/Vegetarian Asian food joints around!! Mind you I am not a Vegan or Vegetarian - I'm a hardcore meat/seafood eater...but I do have times where I just want a vegan meal or per most times I'm with a vegan friend & THIS place is prob one of the few that leaves us both 100% satisfied. The restaurant is cute, quaint, and casual and service has always been pretty nice and quick overall. Menu consist mainly of Asian dishes (which is my go to here) but there is some light american fare (like burgers, salads, etc.). Overall these dishes do have the best flavor for being vegan/vegetarian (other places tend to be too bland or light for me esp. when trying to imitate real southeast Asian flavors) +++ ALSO the protein substitute here hits the mark on texture and taste. Food talk:(1) Crispy tofu - comes out beautifully crispy and piping hot, also tasty light dipping sauce as well!(2) Egg rolls - great crunch and flaky exterior, flavorful and nice variety of veggies inside as well!(3) Wonton noodle soup - this was unique and really satisfying, there is a lot in there with veggies and protein substitutes which made each bite different - broth was perfectly light as well. (4) Eggplant & soy protein claypot - soooo gooooddddddd!! So much flavor and the Eggplant and soy protein were cooked perfectly! One of my faves here.
