Had the banh mi which was delicious, the lemongrass tofu is so flavorful.
It came with a little cup of consomme with a piece of broccoli and carrot. I assume it is the same broth they use for their pho, and it is really yummy.
We also got the mango salad with tofu, which was not marked as vegan but we were assured it was. It was yummy and light, quite nice and fresh.
The food was made very quickly and the staff was friendly. A very nice choice for lunch.

There’s a great number of vegan options that always hit the spot. Some of our favorites are the pho, farmers curry, fried tofu, and the tofu crepe. The prices are fair and the portions are big, it’s always a great meal here.
