Not what I hoped - Edit
Was really hoping this place was good as the menu looked good.
Read moreVery big menu. Ordered 2 apps, leek pancakes and some sort of wonton. both came out warm, but not hot. Taste was decent, but not great. Plates looked like they hadn’t been washed well. Mains were two types of curry. Again, warm but not hot when they came out. Flavorless and lacking in presentation..
My husband got really sick and was throwing up for several hours that night.
The bathroom was an absolute mess…so many stains and half the ceiling was missing?!
Overall we were very disappointed for the amount of money we spent. Would not go again.

Good food and lunch menu is affordable - Edit
We ordered the lunch menu, which comes with a small soup, 2 deep fried dumplings and a main. It should also come with tee, but they forgot to give us our tee. The food is good but a bit cold. I would not recommend the veggie chicken.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan, Lots of options
Cons: Food is cold, Soup was spilled all over

Panoramic view! - Edit
Decent food served quickly, looking good and tasting good. Friendly staff. I most enjoyed the second storey panoramic neighborhood views on this early fall afternoon with the windows open and the restaurant’s many plants swaying.

Huge menu to choose from - Edit
We had the pineapple rice with shrimp and chikn, the Tom yum soup, spring rolls and the penang burry with beef. We found the pineapple rice a little bland but everything else was delicious!

Not enough spice - Edit
We got some fresh rolls, a Vietnamese coffee and the red curry with mock duck. The curry had 3 chilis next to it, but it wasn’t spicy at all. The fresh rolls were ok, but the sauce was too sweet. The vietnamese coffee came with coconut milk but the coffee cup was so full you couldn’t really add it to the cup. A bit disappointing, but it’s nice to have an option downtown.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
Fully vegan Thai restaurant with an extensive menu. Food was so so good-I got a tofu curry and bubble tea. I went with a couple of friends who were very hesitant about the prospect of no meat (ie: complaining the entire way there because how could a meal possibly taste good without meat?) but by the end of the meal they were raving about how good it was and even came back themselves a couple of days later (that’s how good it was). Staff really friendly, lovely little restaurant.

Tons of options - Edit
I only got a Thai tea, which was the best one I've ever had and the tow-hop tod #6 appetizer which was pretty good itself but I will definitely stop in again if I'm in the area.

Best Thai/East Asian food ever - Edit
I went back in 2021, it was just as amazing as it always was. Affordable and high quality vegan food, and everything is fresh. The boba is great too. Probably my favorite restaurant I have ever been to, highly recommend.

Lunch special was great - Edit
I got the mango curry lunch special with tofu which came with soup and two dumplings (or you could choose to have one spring roll), and I also got a Thai tea boba to go. The service was very fast and friendly and everything tasted great. I would love to come back to try their vegan chicken, beef, and shrimp options when I’m in town again. 10/10!

Great options and good flavors - Edit
This was a fun restaurant. I definitely enjoyed my meal. The food is creative and tasty. The seitan and tofu and tempeh are used masterfully. The flavors were good if this was not so close to Chinatown I’d say great but it’s really a nice option to have for good Chinese and Thai food.
Read moreThe birds nest was so tasty and the dumplings were delicious. The lo mein was average and the miso soup was good. Definitely try the birds nest for the edible bowl it’s served in! Very unique and very tasty.
Pros: Birds nest, Dumplings, Miso soup

Food was amazing with obviously freshly made noodles and flavorful sauces. All menu items were vegan, but if you bring people who aren't vegan here, they will still love the food!

Belly Full from their Vegan Menu!!! - Edit
Amazing restaurant!!! I love the apps and the main course meals (pad ke mao and the garlic tofu). If I lived any closer I would be back at this place on a weekly basis. Also they serve vegan bubble tea, which was truly amazing. I highly recommend for vegans/plant-based food lovers to come by and have a meal at this place!!!

My wife and I ate here 25 years ago and were happy was still here to bring our kids. They loved it. Everything we had was delicious.

All excellent also boba was very good, both the taro and mango.

So much variety - Edit
The menu is so extensive that it is actually overwhelming. There are many different types of noodles, sauces, faux meats... Really difficult to make a decision! I ordered the curry vermicelli plus and it was a great choice. The noodles were thin but not too thin, and the sauce was amazing! Creamy, rich, and very flavorful. All the "plus" dishes have a combination of different meats, which was perfect because I wanted to try as many as I could. They were all really good, but the highlight for me was the shrimp. It was probably the first time I ever had vegan shrimp and it was delicious! The taste and the consistency were quite impressive. The portion was big so I was completely satisfied, and the price was fair. So I'd definitely recommend a visit, just be aware that the restaurant is not the prettiest, as other reviews have already described.
