Hands down the best and freshest Vietnamese food I've eaten over 30 years.

Great service, friendly and helpful. Food is sooooooo FRESH. I went with recommendations on Happy Cow for crispy tofu and it rocks.
Additionally, I ordered the shiitake mushroom dumplings that came with their own special sauce and WOW! Perfect blend of flavours.

Pros: Freshness, Flavour, Service

Love the Pho!

Crispy tofu pho is as good as I've had anywhere, vegan or omnivore... a perfect Melbourne laneway experience. I really appreciated the clear menu and helpful staff in ordering vegan dishes. I'll definitely be returning.

Pros: Pho!, Great dumplings too..., Clear menu

Hidden gem!!

Such a cool place!! I haven’t heard many people talk about this place but they have soooo many vegan options and the prices are so good!! I definitely recommend it for students!
I only tried the fresh rice paper rolls with tofu but they were incredible(with soy sauce as other one has fish, clearly written on the menu so all good). The rice noodles were delicious with the crispy onions ahhh and the 2 rolls are really filling!!

Very tasty

While there's not a lot of vegan options, that's pretty standard for the area. What is available is clearly marked V (vegan) or CBV (can be vegan). Staff made a point of checking about fish sauce which was nice.

I had the crispy fried tofu vermicelli salad bowl which was pretty good - the fried tofu in particular was excellent. Will definitely be back to try the other options.

Pros: Menu is clearly labelled

Cons: Not a lot of vegan options
