Serves meat, vegan options available. As of May 2019, the city does not have an all-vegan restaurant. Here you’ll find several clearly labeled vegan choices, including a sushi roll and spring rolls. They are experienced in cooking vegan food and can make the pad thai and a few other dishes vegan as well, so please do not hesitate to make a request. Open Mon-Sun 12:00pm-9:30pm.

Friendly Service - Edit
I don’t usually find things to complain about, but I just want to give a heads up about this restaurant. This is a family run business, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the beer is cold. Other than that, I have a hard time finding positive feedback about the food. Could be because it’s low season or maybe the chef wasn’t in the day we went and someone just winged it, but holy smokes, the food was terrible. We opted for the pad Thai. Unfortunately there was no tofu available so we basically received rice noodles with a few onions in a very sickly sweet soupy sauce. We also tried the vegan spring roll and as mentioned in previous comments below, it was a raw rice paper wrapper with a huge amount of warm shredded cabbage. The temperature felt off and completely fell apart when we took our first bite.. The flavor wasn’t too bad but I wouldn’t order again. There was also a heavily scented air freshener plugged in somewhere that overwhelmed the taste of the food.

Good service, several vegan options - Edit
I had the edamame, and the vegan pad thai with tofu. It was tasty and filling! The waitress was friendly, and she happily explained which items could be made vegan.

Walk on by... - Edit
I should've known from the smell of mothballs as you walk in. Anybody that's travelled extensively will recognise this type of Chinese restaurant. Just carry on walking.
Read moreMiso soup was so salty I thought maybe they used seawater, spring roll was white cabbage and carrot not-so-well rolled in a rice paper sheet, vegan sushi roll was actually not too bad all things considered, but cost 15 bucks...
As I said, not worth the detour.
Oh and it's on the main street if you still want to try it.
Pros: I guess they have options so that's good right?
Cons: Bland, Miso soup sooo salty , Smells of mothballs

Not worth a visit - Edit
Very disappointing experience and food. Maybe they’re under new management recently, but the servers seemed confused about veganizing the noodle dishes. What ultimately came I do believe was vegan, but it was tasteless and disappointing. The vegan spring roll was just limp cabbage in rice paper. Not worth a visit. I should have tried the Indian place down the street. Staff seemed overwhelmed and flustered, even though it wasn’t busy. One server poured ice water into my wine instead of into the empty water glass. They all seem very new.

New location - Edit
This is located on the Main Street toward the end. Ramen was great. Pad Thai was okay, not authentic. Vegetable chop suey was good. It’s closed in, no fresh air.

Good for the region - Edit
For a region without any veg or vegan restaurant this place has solid options, we had edamame and spring rolls for starters, and as a main we had Pad Thai and Ramen, everything was quite good, the pasta in the Ramen had gluten but I think you can ask for rice noodles instead.
Read morePros: Labeled vegan options , Staff is aware of vegan options , Many things can be made vegan on request
