I loved this place! One of the two healthiest places to eat in town. So sad it’s gone. Best salad ever.

Durango has many good restaurants, but this is one of our favorites. Good wholesome food made from lots of healthy plants. It's easy for lunch or for dinner to take home after a long day

So good, fresh, and tasty! I asked what I could order that was gluten free, and he nicely replied, everything I have is gluten free. Usually it is such a chore for me to order. I had the Vietnamese salad and used their habanero hot sauce..Really good

Nice and healthy place. Loved the zucchini gluten free bread too. Music was a bit eclectic switching from gentes but it was not a big deal. The place was cool which was a nice escape from the outside heat.

Decided to have lunch here after observing the salad of an outside diner. The half size grain/lettuce Vietnamese salad was outstanding. More than enough for lunch and a wonderful combination of crunch, nuttiness of the grain and just enough spice to make it interesting. Prompt, friendly service too. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

The small salads (Vietnamese & taco) were delish and very generous for a small… great kombucha!!!

This place is a GEM! It was the perfect break on a road trip - flavorful, filling & energizing. I loved the Vietnamese grain bowl. The portions are generous - the half size was more than enough food for dinner. I would skip the cheese dip next time - it’s really more like a roux. Lovely guy working the counter. Kind of place you immediately feel “seen” & welcomed. Such a treat!

This is one of my favorite places in Durango. We visit town every year and always stop by this place. Their Vietnamese salad is my favorite. My husband likes making his own bowl and my kids love the chili pie (tortilla chips with chili on top). It is all very good! They also have kombucha on tap, which we all love. Overall, we highly recommend it

Surprisingly delicious food in an eclectic setting. The Lively Daikon serves healthy Gluten free, and vegetarian dishes that are bursting with flavor. I loved the Vietnamese bowl, my wife had the House bowl. Both were filling and flavorful. The Zucchini Cornbread topped things off. The music was fun and the Owner/Chef was engaging and made us feel like long lost friends.

Loved the flavors and freshness of our lunch. Huge portion and it was even a half size! I can still taste it, going back soon!Vegetarian options: Many options for vegetarian. He is awesome for putting proteins together to fulfill your requirements in place of meat. But also has meat options.
