An oasis in the desert - Edit
I went here with my mom who can't eat gluten and my brother who is a big meat eater, and I am a vegan. We all pretty much deferred to our (very knowledgeable) server's suggestions and we all were presented with absolutely delicious dishes. My brother got something called bean curd leaf, which was a thin skin like tofu on a bed of rice noodles. All our meals were good but his was the best and although I live in NY and have eaten vegan food all over the country, I have never tasted anything like it before. It was baked and a bit crispy with a delectable sauce just the perfect amount of spicy. The server was extremely friendly and was very helpful in guiding us based on our needs. The spring rolls (standard Vietnamese fare) were great with a good peanut sauce and a fresh iced coffee with soy milk was a much needed joy. Definitely one of my all time favorite eating experiences. And we were all stuffed with left overs for $36!

Great vegan food - Edit
ABQ-VEG group met here tonight. Everyone was very pleased with all their dishes which included: crispy grilled fish, special hue rice noodle soup, crispy wide rice noodles, clay pot small fish and mushrooms, pho with tofu, papaya salad, cashew mock pork, vegtable rolls, and stir fried vegtables. Waiter was very nice and helped explain all the ingredients to us. Also gave group taro root tapioca pudding which was delicous. All food is vegan except for the egg noodles. Will definitely return and recommend to all vegans, vegetarians and anyone else who just likes good tasty food! Please support this new restaurant.

Love the soup - Edit
So happy that somebody had put this restaurant on Happy Cow.
Read moreI had #G9 Steamed rice noodle mock pork grill meat ball. It doesn't really look like mock pork. I talked to the owner's mom, she mixed the mock pork with other stuffs, her own recipe. It's very good and it doesn't look like mock pork.
I tasted the noodle soup that my husband order, the soup is very good ++.
We had deep fried wonton for appetizer. I ordered the steamed buns to take home for breakfast. (To heat up the buns, cover it with wet paper towel and microwave for 1 minute.
I would say it's like home cooking food and mostly vegan. (except wanton and egg noodle.)
I talked to the owner's mom. She had become a vegetarian for 15 years. She just know how to cook yummy vegetarian.
I hope more and more peole go to this restaurant.

Great new Vegetarian Restaurant - Edit
My boyfriend and I are both vegetarians, and we noticed this new restaurant opened. We tried it today, and it was wonderful. They have many options for both vegetarian and vegan options as well. The staff was extremely nice, and the owner came out to check on us as well.
Read moreHe got the cashew mock pork, and I got the bean thread stir fry vegetables and tofu. Both dishes were delicious. My boyfriend often says that he doesn't like most types of food, but he really loved this. His mock pork was extremely flavorful, and as he said, it was better than real pork and hard to tell a difference.
I actually prefer for my food to not be like meat, so my dish was perfect for me.
Please go and try this new place. I'm am hoping they get lots of business (They deserve it). While we were there, other customers were commenting that it was better than Thai Vegan, and I would agree.

Just when lamenting lack of veg restaurants - Edit
Excellent food on Juan Tabo! I had the Cashew Mock Pork and was able to sneak some of the Steamed Rice Noodle Mock Pork Grilled Meatball (which really doesn't describe the dish). Both were very tasty. The latter was served with fresh herbs. I believe they were Vietnamese varieties of, e.g. mint, that lend a flavor that cannot otherwise be found in this area. The herbs are home grown. I really wasn't expecting a lunchtime meal that I would normally expect for dinner in an expensive restaurant. The building housed a regular Vietnamese Restaurant that served second-rate food. Don't be confused. These are new owners and the food that I tasted was the best I have had in Albuquerque. I'll be going back often for lunch. I don't think I was just lucky enough to hit on the only two good dishes. I'll be happy to try them all. The restaurant was not crowded since they are new. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Hope they keep it going.
