Lots of Vegan Options - Edit
We were going to the attached music venue for a concert, so got there early to eat dinner. We were happy to see so many vegan options on the menu so we ordered a bunch of items. They give you a number and staff will bring the food to you promptly. It was all really good! The staff were nice, there was plenty of indoor/outdoor seating, and the place was clean. Good spot for some casual vegan bites!

⭐️ maybe ⭐️⭐️ - Edit
During my most recent visit, the number of vegan options on the menu has increased but the quality seems lower. We tried 5 different items on the menu and we were really underwhelmed. The tofu banh mi was very salty; the cauliflower wings just taste like fried batter; the eggplant taco would be better on rice; the fries were fair; the vegan sliders had the same batter as the cauliflower but I could taste the mushroom still so those were better IMO; the dark and stormy I ordered didn’t have enough rum to balance the ginger beer. Maybe it was an off-night but I just left feeling very meh about it. On the plus side: Food was quick and the staff were polite. The prices weren’t terrible and they are open late.

Bland - Edit
Yeah the food was super bland and the servers were irritated in general. The person who took our order was extra irritated due to having to deal with a slightly annoying old lady, she wasn't listening to us when we were ordering and walked away several times. Even complained to her coworkers so our 1 minute order turned into a 8 minute one. There was two lines and the other line had four families in it and yet went by faster than just our order. Food came out fast but fries were semi cold, food was bland and there's no vegan dipping sauce options.

Good food w/ solid vegan/gluten free options. - Edit
Dined with omnis and there was something for everyone. Lost one star because cocktails were only okay, tasted pretty watery and wish they had more punch. Speaking of things that pack a punch, the cauliflower wings with ghost pepper sauce were delicious and no joke heat-wise. Good outdoor seating area and strong pandemic precautions in place. Plenty of gluten free options as well.

Many vegan options - Edit
It was nice to have a bar that can provide vegan options later in the evening. They had vegan tacos, falafel, indian samosas, tofu bahn sandwiches, and other items all clearly marked “vegan”. I had veggie tacos and tofu bahn. The taco was tasty, but very wet, flavored with indian sauces. The tofu bahn was quite good, but the layer of tofu was quite thin. Overall, a decent late night food option or a great place to have drinks w omni friends.

Lightening fast - Edit
I was at a wedding around the corner at the Rick House and although the bride and groom were so gracious and thoughtful to make us a vegan option (rice w a coconut curry, which was pretty authentic tasting & spicy, with a few veg) I was still pretty hungry, so I went Parts and Labor after hearing an other vegan at the wedding went. I ordered the tofu bahn, fries and edamame salad. I got some water, sat down and got a notebook out. No sooner than I put pen to page, my food arrived before me! So fast! I should also mention that it was absolutely PACKED, which made the insanely quick service that much more baffling. Anyways, I appreciated that & the food was good. Only complaints are that I wished the edamame salad had more jicama for a more equal balance of flavors and textures. It was equal parts garbanzo and edamame with a good amount of red onion, but only maybe 5 tiny chunks of jicama. Also, the Bahn Mi really lacked any kind of sauce or vegan mayo. it was actually so dry that I couldn’t really eat it. Took it home to doctor it up for lunch today, though. They’re doing well w the vegan and vegetarian options, but if they’d just have some veganaise on hand for the Bahn it would make a HUGE difference!

great cheap fast service but not horribly unhealthy vegan food - Edit
Go to spot to get a quick no fuss meal while in the Rigsbee Street area near Fullsteam and Surf Club. Also a full liquor bar which Fullsteam doesn't have so good to come over and take a beer break.
Read moreExcellent vegan options. Menu is clearly marked with gf vegan or veg. I go by price here- pretty much $8 of food will fill me up for dinner, so whether that's one dish 7-8$ or two small dishes that cost 3-4$. Nice flavors, esp the samosas and udon noodle salad. Get the eggplant taco if they have it!!
Bring your dog and sit in the large outside seating area.
Pros: dog friendly , vegan friendly , budget friendly

yummy quick& great vibe - Edit
We stopped here for a late afternoon snack. It was fantastic! Everything was delicious, affordable, and the vegan options are labeled on the menu. I especially love the udon salad and the tofu-banh. So yummy! Plus it's a really cool, huge space, with outdoor and indoor seating and a full bar.

fun space with good food/drinks - Edit
I love the udon salad! This is a fun space just to hang out with friends especially during nice weather as they have ample space and tables outside. Staff are friendly and chef is enthusiastic about offering vegan options and even participated in the annual Bull City Vegan Challenge in 2014.
