I usually stop here about once a month when I'm craving Vietnamese food. Their food is always good and tastes fresh; it's so nice not worrying about what's vegetarian or not. Favorites are the pho and the combo vermicelli bowl and spring rolls. I tend to get takeout bc it's a little awkward with dine-in, but overall one of my favorite "usual" spots.

New favorite place. Went there twice in one weekend. The wonton soup is delish ? . And the avacodo rolls! I don't have words for...

We used to really like this place but our most recent experience was horrid! Taste of food One simple word - tasteless. The roti was a frozen roti heated up. Nothing like what a roti paratha should look and taste. House fried rice - tasteless. Ambience If u want to feel like you are in a storage space and having lunch then you want to come to this place. It's dingy. And u get to eat in paper plates. My question to the management is - how come pricing hasn't changed? Service Non existent! Sorry not going back to this place

For most of the vegan restaurants, the same here which is friend and similar taste on the dishes. Service earns a star, clean of the place earns a star, drinks choices earn a star.

Food is decent but hate the post covid practice of serving in disposable plastic. Putting hot curries and soups in disposable plastic can't possibly be good for health. Also, very expensive for the service.

This place is good. And their food is decent.The reason i am giving 2 stars is, because i personally did not like their food much. I ordered their specials: Peace Curry, All season appetizer platter and Veg ChowMein. And i did not like any dish. It was quite bland and the combination of vegetables was just not right for me. My husband found it decent but i don't think we would go back again.

One of the best thai fried rice and great customer service I’ve had in the San Jose, CA area. Love the friend rice with pineapple and cashews. Will come back again when in the area.

On top of having ecologically problematic practices, this establishment provided a lackluster dining experience, culinarily and visually speaking. Guests order from the cashier before sitting down and bus their table as there is no table service. The food wasn't great (broccoli tasted old) and all dishes were served in disposable clear plastic or brown plastic-lined disposable containers (none of which can be recycled), even for those dining in. Fresh roll were served individually wrapped in plastic wrap. A large open plastic garbage bin was prominently displayed directly in the dining area for patrons to enjoy viewing while dining, along with cleaning equipment, spray bottles and cartons of open plastic utensils. I get that restaurants are hurting right now but these practices and lack of good customer experience further repel guests and add to our global plastic problem. Using reusable, washable plates and cutlery doesn't spread Covid-19. Systematically using disposable plastic (even for very hot food) is toxic to customers and the planet. We won't be back.

If you're looking for a nice Asian fusion, that's super healthy for the gut, this place right here is the spot! My favorite our their curry !!

1. So the food is just average, but the service is really good (1 star here is for service only). 2. For dine-in they are still using to-go boxes and plastic plates, spoons etc. which kind of does not feel like the best experience The person at the register was patient and polite. He explained us different dishes and helped us placed an order after it took us at least 15 mins to decide. We ordered Malaysian noodles, winter spring rolls, broccoli rice dish. 1. The noodles were undercooked and did not have lot of veggies either 2. Winter spring rolls were the star. Fresh and delicious. And the peanut sauce was even better. 3. Broccoli rice dish did not have any flavor. Also, the quantity of curry was less compared to the rice it came with. It came with a soup, which was flavorful. Overall, it was a mixed bag. We might go back to try the soup and sandwich.
Very good vegan/vegetarian food and awesome selection. I love that it’s easy to order online in the restaurant instead of having to order with the server. However, everything is disposable and self-serve: water, utensils, dishes. The dishes from the kitchen are also served in disposable dishes - I can’t help but to think of all the waste and landfill space is being created from all of this… the prices are also pretty high and in general, the food was not very impressive in taste.I do highly recommend their spring rolls. I will definitely come back for these :)

Two stars only because this really WAS my favorite vegetarian restaurant in the bay. Dining in with to-go containers and paper plates/cups??? What does that do with COVID? I felt like a cheap college student ordering/eating in a cafeteria, or going picnic, except that I didn't pay a cheap price. Food quality/service both are none existent. How sad. I'm guessing this is pretty close to the end of this restaurant. Certainly not coming back. Also glad that my friend couldn't make it. It will be so embarrassing to show them this is the food Ive been recommending ... lol

This is one of my go-to vegetarian/vegan places near my house. They have a diverse menu and something to fit every mood. The service here (when dine-in was available pre-covid) was pretty lacking but it looked like the place was providing jobs to students who weren't well-trained to be servers... I would come expecting mediocre service and focus on the not-mediocre food instead! My family for years has been ordering the All season sampler- a giant sampling of all the rolls they offer. We often would get this for parties and potlucks. This has been a party favorite for all palates and dietary preferences so that one dish alone keeps us coming back. Here is a list of what my family typically orders, my apologies if the names are slightly off as I'm going by memory here, but these are tried and true crowd pleasers whenever I take people here- Rock n Roll Beef Ginger Chicken Lemongrass Tofu Lemongrass Fish Salty Fish Fried Rice Malaysian fried noodle Mushroom Hot Pot Crispy Tofu Pho Noodle Soup Spicy Noodle Soup (vegan bun hue) Sometimes they have homemade vegan ice cream which is super good. Order it if it's available!

Vegetarian friendly score: Vegan! I was super excited about a plant based Vietnamese restaurant. It's pretty easy to get seated and place order through your phone although there is someone who'd take your order to make it easy. One problem is that their online menu using the barcode doesn't show what each of the dishes are. You'll need to rely on Yelp menu or for us the server handed a paper menu. We got Malaysian noodles, lemongrass chicken and sugarcane juice. Sugarcane juice was so sweet I was amazed it was all natural. Lemongrass chicken was delicious. Malaysian noodles didn't do much as there was no flavor. I'd come back to give a shot to all other items on their menu.

Great vegan place with lot of variety in soup, curries and stir fry. They also have great tasting Pho. We frequent this place and tried almost everything on Menu.
