Ask for their vegan menu

This place does some of the best tofu rice paper rolls I have ever had! The tofu was warmed and crispy and the rest of the filling was fresh with lots of herbs. Highly recommended! I had these as my lunch 'go to' a few times while staying in the area. We also had a group meal here and it's great to be able to go out where there are lots of dedicated vegan options as well as satisfying our friends' non-vegan tastes. Everything I ate here was good. Ask for fresh chilli if, like me, you like it spicy!

Okay, but better options around

I inevitably end up eating here from time to time, as my office is right nearby and it’s the go-to whenever my boss is shouting the team lunch. Wouldn’t be my first choice.

I normally get the lemongrass and chilli vegetables (it comes with tofu), which is quite tasty but not spicy at all - I don’t even know if they add any chilli?

I find their menus v confusing - there’s 5 of them on their website! They have a separate vegan menu, but it doesn’t translate to the lunch specials or the online ordering system. I normally order online from the vegetarian section and write a note that says VEGAN in the special requests.

I have trust issues though after seeing some other reviews below 😥 If you can, you’re better off straying a little further to Grassfed or Vegeme or the myriad other options nearby.

Pros: food is tasty enough

Cons: vegan menu doesn’t appear on online ordering, better options nearby

Never come again

Shocking services! Definitely not recommended if you are a vegetarian or vegan!
Me and my friends wanted to order some vegetarian dishes. Surprisingly, the waiter said the soup of their veggies noodle soup is made from chicken bones. We couldn't believe what he just said, so we repeated we want the veggie noodle soup in the “vegetairan section”. He rolled his eyes and said “Chicken soup is vegetarian, if you don't want that, that's called Vegan!”
Later, he passed the vegan menu to us and said “you can Google the definition of vegetarian and vegan and let me know what you want.”
We couldn't take his unbelievable service, so we left.

Cons: Shocking customer services

Last visit

We have visited numerous times and enjoyed the sperate vegan menu, but after finding meat in a dish after our last visit, I don't think we'll be returning. There's a range of dedicated vegetarian and vegan restaurants within walking distance.

Seperate vegan menu

Reasonably priced Vietnamese/Chinese food with full seperate vegan menu. My first order of vegan fried rice came out with egg but they replaced it immediately. Great for a big crowd/Omni family.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great for groups, BYO wine

good soup and rolls

We come here all the time and have the vegetarian noodle soup and the rice paper rolls. Delicious, fresh food and good service. Not expensive either.

Pros: good service , nice food , cheap

Cons: meat is served here

Sorry but need to tell you that they use chicken bone to make the broth... I know it's shocking but everyone should know, especially for all vegetarians and vegans...

good location and setting

I went here with friends and it was great to have the separate vegan menu however we weren't that impressed by the food which ( after having lived in Vietnam) wasn't very Vietnamese. It seemed like each dish was the same veggies cooked slightly differently and in big chunks in the three different dishes we ordered. Maybe it's all a bit 'australised' but there didn't seem to be very much care put into them and they were quite exy. The setting was lovely and I'm sure the rent for them is high. I'd say this would be a place to fill up quickly and casually but not really a place for an intimate or foodie type experience.

Lovely place, delicious food

Staff is really friendly and the food is so tasty. We took tofu ricepaper rolls and vermicelli salad with fried tofu. Ricepaper rolls came with delish satay sauce and vermicelli with tasty hoisin sauce. Ask for vegan menu!

delightful!

Loved the separate vegan menu. It was such a treat dining here, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it! Loved the Chinese tea and sure you get a serve of coconut rice too, divine!

Pros: vegan menu list, no need to ask lots of questions!
