Great outdoor seating! Really good currys, a lot of vegan and gluten-free options, and the tea rolls are fantastic. Especially the Vietnamese and Thai rolls for the summer. Lovely service.

One time I had the Lychee tea, teriyaki roll, and edamame, it was amazing!!! I would 10/10 recommend! The service was amazing as the staff was so friendly and kind! I plan on going back!:)

Truly the worst pad Thai I’ve ever tasted. In America and anywhere other country I’ve had it in (including Thailand) . Green beans?! Canned Green beans?!?!? The noodles aren’t fried!? No bean sprouts!? No spice whatsoever!? This isn’t pad Thai! My heart is broken and my day ruined.

Section of the menu for vegan versions of many of their dishes. Soups, apps, salads and mains! The Tea Rolls are really yummy. I got the Vietnamese. And Pad Thai for my main. Server was great and asked if I wanted tofu or extra veg. Came with peanut sauce - unusual but very good! Everything is made to order and veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly!

We mostly get take out from here. I really like the miso salad, the Japanese dumplings and it has my favorite vegan Pad Thai in the area.

I got the pho which was fine. Its made with beef so no veggie option and there were no vegetables in the pho which made it kinda bland, though the thai basil, ginger and onions were good. My vegeterian girlfriend got the coconut curry noodles which were DELISH. We also got the carrot cake and chocolate truffle cake for dessert and definitely ate too much but it was worth it. The cakes were like $5 and HUGE and we took some home so definitely worth the price.
There is a huge selection of teas and fun drinks, as well as wines and sake.
In terms of vibe, the inside is a little bland with dark lighting, but the outside is lovely when the weather is good.

Vegetarian options: My girlfriend had the cococut curry noodles and she loved it!! It was soooo good

We ordered Pho for takeout. It only came with noodles (not the real kind of Pho noodles), 3 pieces of beef, and a tiny cup of scallion, lime and a little piece of coriander. Waste of money, would not recommend.
