• Best Vietnamese Veggie Restaurant

According to the server in 2013, all dishes are now fully vegan. No where will you find more creative names for dishes: CandleLit Lantern Down the River, Family of 5 on a Scooter, Soft Tropical Rainstorm, Golden Temple Prayers, Diving for Pearls....and many more. They should have an award for the creativity and beauty of their menu! Vietnamese veggie food (especially the soups) can occasionally veer towards the watery bland, without the traditional ingredients, but not here! The flavours do not disappoint. Family of 5 on a Scooter is a Vietnamese sandwich that is a must try on this menu. The spring rolls, the Golden Temple Prayers....there is so much on this menu that is excellent. Unlike another reviewer, I love the communal tables. The seats are not the most comfortable, but I have had wonderful unexpected experiences chatting with other diners at the restaurant. What a great way to meet others who share your food proclivities! It's true the location is out of the way, in many respects, but it is worth the commute. If you only have time to visit 5 veggie restaurants while visiting Vancouver, this is definitely one you must not miss.
