This place is incredible. The food is so flavorful and there's so much to choose from. I've only ever been delighted by what I ate. The lemongrass mock meats are incredible and 'kebabs' are delicious. The owners are super nice and helpful. I found this place years ago and was delighted to see it's still just as delicious and wonderful as I remember. That's really special.

Small Vegan Restaurant with express meals.

Food: The dishes were good, but was a bit oily for me. They have decent servings for 2 item meals. It was warmed in the microwave for dine-in meals.

Ambiance: Not fancy. A bit dark and cold inside. Best for take out meals.

Value: Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service.

Vietnamese Vegetarian Food For The Soul. A Must Try. Best Spring Rolls Ever. A Hidden Gem in San Jose. Closes At 6pm So Get There Early.

Parking: Outside seating available.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps into front door. Very narrow inside. No bathroom I saw. Probably outside seating best for wheelchair.

No-nonsense vegan spot keeps their prices low and packs in the flavor
I always tell myself to try something different but as soon as I walk in the door it's "spicy noodle soup for here"
Bring cash, come hungry, leave happy 🖖🏽

- Eggplant curry - 9/10 great
- Lemon chicken - 8.8/10 great
- Kung pao soy curls - 8.6/10 great
- Layered bean curd steaks(?) with chopped spring onion - 5/10 okay, but had kind of a funky cheesy taste that didn't quite taste right

Great value, but all tables were sticky. Made me wonder how clean the place is in the back. Would be nice to see more veggies mixed in with the various plant based meats too.

First off, it's great to know that this small hole in the wall is trying to do veggie/vegan vietnamese.

It came recommended by a friend and unfortunately it did not meet the hype and expectations.

I was disappointed to experience difficulty navigating and understanding their menu. While the food is "cheap" it lacked in flavor and freshness.

I visited around the lunch hour and it was evident that the food had been sitting around from the AM. I chose to try their Sesame Veggie Chicken Sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised when a fresh roll of bread was placed in the oven to crisp up. That's where the glam of the sandwich ended. Next the "meat" was pre-made and microwaved to serve. The "meat" lacked flavor and quickly became cold.

Additionally, I ordered their Summer Rolls. I was happy that a range of "meats" where inside the rolls. The sauce that accompanied the rolls was the one thing that saved both my rolls and sandwich.

I do not plan to return. I think the idea is great and as a vegetarian, I am always looking for new and creative ways to enjoy food. Tofoo; however, did not live up to its hype and at best, I didn't even "get what I paid for."

Don't let the small and unassuming exterior fool you! This vegan gem is a must-try. The food is absolutely delicious, and it's packed with amazing flavors – the best vegan I've had in San Jose in the past couple of years. Highly recommend!

Stopped by for lunch yesterday - the food was absolutely delicious 😋. We had spicy noodle Soupe, chow mein and vegetarian kebab - all tasted amazing - would go back hands down. The place is a tiny little shack - only two person tables but the food is some of the best vegan I’ve ever had! Totally recommend!!!

Came to this place and it did not disappoint. Very small place with a few tables and seats. I ordered the spicy noodle soup but from my observation they gave me pho. No worries at all as the pho was delicious! Ordered a banh mi to-go and that was delicious as well. Definitely highly recommend this place if in SJ.

Delicious vegan food, worth the stop in, they’ve been here for a long time. The first time I ate here was 20 years ago!
