Accommodating staff and good food - Edit
Service: 4/5, Quality: 3/5, Value: 4/5
Read moreVegan Options: 3/5
Overall: Accommodating staff and good food.
Further:
Service- Staff was friendly and attentive. When asked about whether a particular item was vegan or not, the waitress was knowledgeable and double checked with the kitchen to accommodate us.
Quality- We ordered 62 crispy tofu, 69 caramelized tofu, and 71 stir fry tofu. I believe 62 was made without modification, 69 I forget if modification was needed to make it vegan, and 71 needed to replace the oyster sauce with soy sauce. Overall the food was good. I really liked their crispy tofu, though I would recommend cutting the tofu in half in order to get the sauce to absorb into it better. The caramelized tofu was pretty good when my wife let me try it. I had the stir fry tofu and it wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either. It just tasted a bit bland but the ingredients themselves were fresh and I was just happy to get a meal in while traveling.
Value- Portion sizes were fairly large, but adequate for the price. I didn't finish my plate, and my wife had enough to take home.
Vegan Options: There are 3 menu sections labelled vegetarian and you can ask about making the options vegan with the staff being knowledgeable and accommodating. I would have liked to have seen the menu clearly labelled for vegans to get a 4/5. Particularly it would be helpful to see substitutions listed that could be made to vegetarian dishes to make them vegan.

Amazing Vietnamese Food - Edit
Some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. Loved the tofu salad, rolls, and lemongrass soup. The dishes on the ‘vegetarian’ sections of the menu are almost all vegan. Super nice people working there.

Yum! - Edit
Got the pho, delicious! Fried tofu on point. Amazing staff. I'd be here everyday if I lived nearby. When asked about vegan options, server immediately pointed out options and made suggestions and was just incredible! And they have boba!

#64 - Edit
The spicy lemongrass and tofu soup is the stuff that dreams are made of. We eat here about once a month. Mark and Carissa, two of the family members that run this joint, always greet us by name, remember our orders and are so kind and friendly. Their soups will cure what ails you. It’s a great place to dine with omnivores. Everyone will leave happy.
Read moreIf you go here, park in the municipal lot to the side/behind the building (free) or on the street. Do not park in the lot across the street (you’ll get towed).
Pros: excellent service — truly lovely people, lots of delicious options
Cons: They’re closed on Wednesdays.

Vegan options - Edit
My favorite: #64
Read more"Spicy Lemongrass Soup" with rice noodles.
Comes in a chicken broth...
So specify you want the vegan broth.
If you want to avoid soy, you can also ask for it without the tofu
Pros: There are about 4 other vegan options., They are very accommodating to specific request

SOUP OF THE GODS - Edit
You can make the number 64 vegan. It's cheap & amazing. I heard if you eat this every day you'll live forever. The staff is very friendly. I come here very often. It's a nice place. Can't recommend them enough! I probably come here twice a week.
Read morePros: Friendly Staff , Vegan Pho , Clean & nice looking on the inside

great food, nice spot, friendly service - Edit
My husband, 3 year old and I were passing through and were planning to stop at the vegan spot in town, but unfortunately, they didn't have anything gluten free for my husband and a very limited selection of food.
Read moreWe saw two Vietnamese spots down the road and picked this one. The restaurant is adorned with lots of cool art and an antique vespa. Service was friendly and fantastic, with ideas on menu items to pick for my son who is a picky eater and was hoping for an egg roll (the places we've been have egg free egg rolls). We all enjoyed the food and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!
Pros: friendly and helpful staff, great food, cool place

Nice surprise - Edit
This is a mile from home and I had no idea their menu had so many vegan choices. I decided to check it out this weekend and am so glad I did. I got the crispy tofu with vermicelli and found a treasure of crisp veggies underneath. It was such a pleasant meal and a nice change from the usual.

Cons: Small, Limited parking
