This place was meh. I decided to give it a try since is close to my house but I was a it disappointed.The people working there were very polite and attentive, however the food itself was not fresh. If you come during lunch time they usually have a buffet, but since I came for dinner, it felt some stuff was warmed up.The spring rolls were probably the best in my opinion. I also had some noodles (not shown in the picture) that were good.

The lemongrass fish is the bomb! It is made of tofu and covered by seaweed then sprinkled with flakes. Other dishes like Phad Thai and crispy tofu appetiser was enjoyable as well. I’m not even vegetarian yet I like going to this restaurant. Anybody I bring here loves the all these dishes too! It’s in a great outdoor mall with plenty of parking at the back. The sign still says Mint Basil outside but they already changed to Vegan Cutie Pot. Perhaps, they added a hotpot in their menu and want to attract the hotpot crowd. There are plenty of outdoor seating and the entrance is filled with colourful greens and yellow flowers. They also serve Vegan boba drinks!

Service was pleasant, food arrived fast. Everything was fresh, tasty and filling. Extremely satisfying meal. Flavorful and amazing textures. The garlic chicken was to die for. Comforting and not so sweet taro tea hit the spot. Complementary lemon and mint water was a nice touch. Beautiful soft music playing in the background topped off this wonderful dining experience. Thanks!

Their Saigon sandwiches are great. The hot pot is also good value for money.

This has become one of our favorite restaurants! We rediscovered Mint & Basil (Vegan Cutie Pot) a few weeks ago and have been getting take out at least once a week since. Everything we've tried have been delicious. The portions are also very good for the price. Like some of the other reviewers said, the Autumn roll is the best spring roll-type rolls that we've had. Highly recommend it. The Beyond fried rice is a lot of food and super delicious. My husband loves it. We also tried the tofu dumpling vermicelli soup, the combination vermicelli bowl, ocean porridge, and just had the Saigon sandwich with the pork belly for dinner tonight. I would recommend all of them. I had the ocean porridge and dumpling vermicelli soup on two occasions when I was sick last week. I asked for light salt and light oil and both dishes came out just perfect for helping me recover. I can't wait to try their other dishes.

A heaven for vegans! We got several dishes, from rice plates to soups and sandwiches - everything was extremely delicious!

The food is fresh and made of the best quality. The prices are reasonable. The service is amazing. We found a new favorite restaurant!

Wayyyyy over priced. I spent $50 on just a small serving of chow mein and fried rice. There should be no reason why it's that much for noodles and rice, especially with the small servings they gave. For that price I would expect alot more food for at least 2-3 people. I do not recommend this place. Go to loving hut where the prices are far more reasonable and their portions are far more fair with better taste.

Overall, a good dining experience. For anyone looking for vegetarian or vegan options that likes plant-based proteins… this is a place for you. The dishes are tasty and the menu is large enough for anyone looking for different types of Thai items. I wasn’t a huge fan of the fresh spring rolls, but the rest of the items were pretty good. Decently priced, well located, and plenty of parking in the plaza. The food took a little while to arrive, but we had a large group so everything checked out. I would go here again!

I had a lovely time eating here. I ordered the Beyond Green Beans and Broccoli, plus the mung bean milk tea with tapioca pearls. I came with a party of six and they let us put two tables together outside. 10/10 loved the service as well. Buncha cuties working here. <3
Amazing food, very tasty and fresh! Highly recommend cali pho and spring rolls!

Autumn rolls are the best spring rolls I ever had. Highly recommend. All of their vegan imitation meats taste very close to the real thing or just taste really amazing. The fish in particular is the closest to the real thing. Every meal tastes very fresh and cooked perfectly. ?

This place has gone to the dogs. I have been to this place few times over the years, never been a big fan of the taste of the food but was ok. Went in on a Saturday for lunch, there were 2 customers, place looked like it hasn't been kept up and is going out of business.We ordered over 120$ worth of food, the waiter/waitress did not even bring us plates till we asked for it and at the end of the meal when I asked for water, the owner guy said that it was self serve...i go ???? He points me to paper cups and a stinky jug of water when I see the tables next to me with plates and water(nothing fancy, just the absolute bare minimum). I pointed that out to the owner he mumbled and left, no apology, nothing. Times are tough with Covid and the minimum they can do to keep in business is do a decent service when people spend a lot of money to keep them alive.Food is below average and I am life long vegetarian and I know good Vegan food. You may want to try Merit Vegetarian, Loving hut for what good food must be like.

First time going but won't be the last. 100% vegetarian, tastes great, a good variety of foods. Definitely recommend the place.

Great vegan Vietnamese food - I wish they were a bit more low-oil/low-salt/low-sugar friendly, though (one star demerit for that). Winter Rolls == best item on the menu. Sort of a fake sausage and sweet potato spring roll concoction. Whatever they're using as a fried chicken protein simulation in other menu items is incredibly good (though see my point about the whole food thing). Overall the best vegan option, I think, in the area, beating out the meager offerings at the Almaden Whole Foods hot bar.
