The Best Banh Mi 🤤

My favorites are the banh mi, (mock) duck bok choi, and all of their steamed buns. They sell vegan fish sauce here, too. If you’re getting a dessert, go for the brownie, skip the cheesecake. Hidden gem!

Pros: BEST BANH MI EVER, Fully vegan, Fair prices

Awesome Vegan cotton shirts for only $10! They only have large size left. My medium fits like a small. I've worn it almost everyday since acquiring as the lettering is the perfect aesthetic. Hat has good design but cheap material, got it anyway cuz simple plain vegan on the hat. Gonna go back for 2 more shirts to cut the vegan out and staple 😂on another article of clothing.

I appreciate that they have oil free options as I feel most places overuse oil and should care more about their customers health.
I will say the OF pancit was also seasoning free, which isn't what I signed up for.
The OF tofu spring roll w fresh tofu was good. the peanut sauce gave it all the flavor, so would get again.

Pros: Clothing!, Oil free options!, Nice relaxing music and chill vibes inside

Excellent vegan Asian cuisine

The food was delicious! I loved the fried rice with fried tofu and the egg rolls were our favorite. Potstickers are good, I like crispier.

Pros: 100% Vegan

Cons: Pricy

Good

I enjoyed eating here. We both ordered rice and tofu dishes. The tofu was perfectly cooked. I would love to go back and try another dish.

Great options

Great options for gluten free and oil free. Food is very tasty and quick service. It is a no thrills kind of place, order and pay first, get your own water.
Pad Thai was decent, lots of noodles and wasn’t too wet. Stir fried veggies with rice was good tasting but could use more broccoli, good amount of boc choy.

Easy to get to when traveling between Bay Area and Tahoe. Really close to costco gas too!

Pros: Options , Location , Quick service, hot food

Delicious food and friendly people

We loved the duck and tempura mushrooms. We also had the steamed buns and walnut prawns which were very good.
It’s a small space with fast service. No frills, just great food and great service.

Grateful for oil-free options!!!

This place has very good oil-free drunken noodles and oil-free eggplant. It is hard to find oil-free options when dining out, so it’s super appreciated! I also really liked their steamed buns and brownie…both so good! I have had some lackluster dishes, so that’s why 4 stars instead of 5. #Veganuary

One of my favorites

One of my tops favorite vegan spots. Their steamed buns and walnut prawns are the best I’ve ever had. Lovely couple that owns Rocklin and Folsom location. I recommend to everyone

Not impressed but will give them another shot

We tried the eggplant tofu and Mongolian beef. Not impressed. Some places I’ve been to in the past have put a lot of bell peppers in their Mongolian beef, so when pictures are available now I always avoid them if they do that. This picture had the onions and beef as expected so that’s my go-to. It wasn’t spicy at all. It kind of tasted like a frozen food selection from the grocery store you can get for six or seven bucks. The tofu and eggplant was okay but seemed to rely on the sauce for flavor you couldn’t taste the food.

I got the impression our plates were not mixed and cooked together but were instead a sum total of blending the different ingredients together after they were already prepared. Like all the parts are prepared separately and then depending what you order, they bring those parts together and heat them up. The meal was delivered too quickly to have been done fresh, not that I want them to wait unnecessarily to deliver it either, just to make me thing it was a fresh cook.

It’s nice to have a vegan place to go to when you just don’t feel like cooking for yourself. But like some others have said regarding the price, we could have made these meals in 15-30 minutes at home for a fraction of the cost. Our challenge has been finding the faux meats on the market to replicate some of our favorite dishes. So we eat out for those, and we typically only eat out once or twice a month. Of the three vegan restaurants within 30 minutes of here we’ve ordered Mongolian beef, this is the third best. We’ll be back to try other dishes to see if maybe we just didn’t order the right thing for this place.

Pros: Quick turnaround

Cons: Expensive

Beef and broccoli and Bahn Mi sandwich are bread. Walnut prawns are outstanding. It is a little pricey but totally worth it

Pictures on wall cool. Could provide higher quality veggies.

They could provide a better assortment of fresh veggies and better flavors. This meal was uneventful. I could easily make better meals at home from a frozen bag of veggies with grocery store sauces. The spring rolls had several strange flavors mixed in, like mint, lemon, and arugula. And it didn’t come with enough peanut sauce. The main entree had too much of the same texture with cabbage competing with baby bok choy against the hollow mushy thin sliced zucchini rounds. The savory broccoli was the best part but the brown rice was the failed palate cleanser against the sauce. And the brown rice was lower quality and overly starchy.

Pros: All vegan options, , No wait time, in door seating, Good customer service, pay at counter

Cons: Expensive , Atmosphere is dull, not a good place to ppl watch, Boring, lack luster flavors

What's not to like??

This was my first visit to this restaurant during my first time using this app! This was my first time being able to enjoy Asian Cuisine since becoming vegetarian and then vegan many years ago. New favorite stop after visiting Barnes and Noble!

Pros: 100% Vegan, Clean, Friendly Staff

SO delicious!

My girlfriend and I visited for a date and we had a wonderful time! Such delicious food and it's all vegan. My gf (not vegan) loved it just as much as I did, which was a bonus. Our favourite part was the steamed buns, and we also loved the hot and sour soup, fresh spring rolls, orange "chicken", and bubble teas. Pad Thai wasn't our favourite but still good (I took home the leftovers and ate it the next day, they reheated well)! We're super excited to come back again with family members. Don't miss this gem!

Pros: Delicious food, Quick and friendly service, Clean and quiet restaurant

Asian Vegan Variety in Rocklin

I came here after a few hours of paddling at Lake Natoma and I was quite hungry. I appreciated the variety offered and the wall of photos made it really easy to select my dish, Korean noodle tofu. I ordered this with a Thai milk boba tea. I was surprised when my drink came that it was served in a mason mug with a stainless steel boba straw so no plastic was used when dining in. I enjoyed the Korean noodle tofu too and it was just the right amount of seasoning and flavor and light on oil. I ate the whole plate and could have eaten more! I also got a chance to converse with the owner who was friendly and told the story of how she became vegan.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Use of real utensils when dining in, Clean and easy to order

Amazing

I absolutely love Asian cuisine, they always have great food. The owners are super friendly and I love how they have been able to expand their stores. They opened up another one in Folsom which is great. The steamed buns and spring rolls is a must every time I go. Great food and great service.

Extremely disappointed

I ordered mixed vegetables and tofu. Fist off it came with 3/4 cup or onions and bell pepper. 4 pieces of tofu were thrown in. And a 1/4 cup or rice. And this was the dinner portion. It was not flavorful and a huge waste of money. Also orders the summer rolls and they were flavorless with one little strip of tofu, 2 slices of cucumber and three noodles. Gross #Veganuary

Cons: Super expensive, Tiny itty bitty portions , No flavor

Delicious vegan Asian food!

We picked up lunch from Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine while on a road trip, and the food was delicious! My family tried the Peking duck bun and vermicelli noodles. Both were flavorful and very meat-like. I hope I'm in Rocklin again one day so that I can go back!

Pros: Good Asian food, Friendly staff
