Good

Vegan menus exist. Drink are good. Nothing special, not too expensive not too cheap. The space is good for some fancy gatherings.

Pros: Soft drinks, Ginger beer , Fresh herb tea

Cons: Some dishes are too spicy without mark

Disappointing food but pretty place

Lack of flavour and ingredients, read the ingredients on the vegan menu as a clue.

Pho was literally noodles, bland soup and some coriander. No lime, mint, mushrooms, tofu, soy meat, greens and it's a small portion with mediocre flat rice noodles.

The vegan cup ramen from natural lawson has more flavour.

The banh xeo had me hoping there'd be a surprise underneath and I guess it was, half cooked bean sprouts. It's really more of a salad as nothing other than the pancake is cooked.

I've had vegan Vietnamese in other countries and they were amazing..I had high hopes as the place is fancy looking and staff were friendly and upmarket-like.

Disclaimer:
There is also a 550 yen per person after 5pm and something like 10% after 10pm but kitchen closes at 10 so it's for the drinkers.
We arrived at 9pm and got the 550 yen each.

Pros: Pretty place , Umm scenic entrance for photos , Decent drinks menu

Cons: Service charge (fancy place I guess), Not so cooked or tasty, Not again sorry

Elegant Thai Vietnamese restaurant

The place looks fancy, but the prices are normal. The restaurant is at the ground floor of the Century Southern hotel. Friendly staff

Pros: Liked they give a menu with only vegan dishes , Tasty food , Beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere

Cons: The place is kinda hidden by a hotel

Atmosphere and service is good, have had better vegan Thai tho

I went here on a Friday evening without reservations and they could facilitate me. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere. The cocktail menu also looked great but I don’t drink so don’t know if the drinks are good.

As for the food, it is not bad but I simply have had better and more authentic thai food. I ordered pad thai but sadly it was mostly noodles and little tofu and vegetables.

What I also found disappointing was that they charge 350 yen per person after 5PM for table charge.

Good

I ordered a salad and hot pho. I don't like lotus tea because it's bitter. Salad is good and pho is so-so.
As for dessert, only banana cake is vegan.
Note that one spice on the table contains chicken and is not vegan. The place is spacious and nice. Prices are normal.

Pros: Vegan options, Spacious place

Cons: Non-vegan menus, Non-vegan spice

Not much flavor

Beautiful restaurant but not much flavor unfortunately. I ordered the vegan papaya salad and vegan pad Thai but the taste was quite bland. Make sure you ask for the vegan menu.

Pros: Good vegan options, Beautiful restaurant

Cons: Not much flavor

Very plain taste

I wasn't happy with the taste as it was too bland.
Also, not filling for the price.

Beautiful with good food.

I'm not sure why vegan Thai and Vietnamese food are so rare in Tokyo, but they are. They have it! They put a twist on it, but it's good. They have a few vegan things, including a four course meal. The ambiance is excellent and the price is reasonable for all you get. We'll be coming back often.

Amazing vegan option

It’s really hard to find vegan Thai food here in Japan. I was thrilled to have some here at this restaurant.
Highly recommended.

Great way to experience vietnamese food

This is a beautiful and modern restaurant perfect for date nights. Interior is full of plants, so if you are a plant lover, this will be the place for you! The vegan menu is big and has most of the traditional Vietnamese dishes veganized. Staff was extremely nice and suggested that we could split each main dish into two if we wanted to try a bit of all.

Pho and side salad was good. The pancake was a bit tricky to figure out, I would only recommend it as a side dish as it mainly consists of leafy greens and mung bean sprouts. Even if you ate the whole thing by yourself, you would still be hungry as the pancake itself is very thin layered (crispy thin).

Pros: Very nice and attentive staff, Big, clear labelled vegan menu
