This is our FAVORITE vegan restaurant, and we aren't even vegan!, but our daughter is. The restaurant has been family owned for years. We have been coming here when Vincent owned it. He greeted everyone! The food is excellent, the service was as well. The environment is cozy. We again had the Orange chicken, which was perfect tonight, as was the cashew nut chicken, which had a lot of delicious "meat". I HIGHLY recommend you try them.

Food is always good, and portions are great, but the parking is a nightmare here in the shopping mall. If they did a small make over and clean up a bit inside this is a really hidden gem. Lunch specials are the bang for the buck, 1 main and up to 3 sides for $12.Staff are super friendly and place is clean, just needs a modern touch of TLC and i think it’ll pay dividends for attracting newer diners.

I used to frequent this place because the food is great but the elderly couple that used to serve lunch were never nice to me (I'm a large black woman) I added my description because I assume that's why. I did observe them being friendly/warm to other regulars. Overall the food is so good but he portions were tiny for the cost. This and poor service are why I stopped frequenting.
I LOVE this place. Amazing food and service. Highly recommend for both meat eaters and plant-based folks. Very hearty, uncommonly delicious vegan food.

So glad we tried this place! The flavors of everything we so delicious, balanced, and nuanced. The Papaya Salad was the largest portion of green papaya I've ever seen while ordering papaya salads, which is awesome because I love the stuff. The Spring Rolls were incredible--the faux meat in there was enough for the roll on its own, but the dipping sauce really made it something special. What a sauce! And lastly, the Moroheiy Green Noodle was also a banger. The noodle itself tastes like the most familiar and homely noodle you've ever had, and the faux meats were far beyond any seitan or alternative meat I've tried. Their "bbq pork" and "chicken" were both delicious but super distinct from one another. Would love to come back and order more items from the menu!

My daughter and I happened upon this place when our original lunch plans fell through. What a lucky turn of events because this place is "awesome" (to borrow my daughter's words". We ordered dumplings, veggie lo mein and the green noodles that come with egg rolls. Everything was delicious! Some of the lower star reviews mention pad Thai so maybe stay away from that item. But all our dishes were flavorful and tasty.The service was really friendly and efficient."5 stars wish we could give more" - my daughter.

The pictures in the menu look nothing like what the actual plates are. It's also very evident that a lot of things are prepared from frozen stuff and not fresh produce. The staff pretends not to speak english correctly to get away with it.
came here for dinner for the first time tonight and omgggg food was BOMBBBi got the spicy noodles which was pretty similar to pad kee mao or thai drunken noodles (not sure if the spicy noodles was supposed to be just that lol xD)service was also wonderful, both servers who helped me were so kind and helpful can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!!

Such authentic and delicious vegan food! I haven't tried anything here I didn't like (and I'm tried most of the dishes by now!). But if I were to have to choose from a favorite then it would either be the dumplings or chow mein!It's so hard to find vegan green tea ice cream and the one they make homemade here is the best I've ever had - vegan or not! The staff are also so nice and truly care about their customers. I come here at least once a week!

Been coming here since the day it opened and it keeps getting better. Even non-vegans will find it delightful. Do it.

Never been here before, we ordered through doordash, and unfortunately, the "proteins" are labeled using real names such as chicken and shrimp, but lo and behold, they are all tofu, no where it says imitation, the word used is veggie...I do not eat at vegetarian places and didn't notice that it was part of the name of the restaurant, that's on me...Aside from the SnaTOfu, the flavors were not on par with other Thai restaurants. There was a lack of vegetables and an excess of tofu on the dishes.Lesson learned: Next time I try a new place, I'll double check if the "chicken" is real or tofu.
