Atmosphere makes good food not so appetizing - Edit
The food is good. I don’t get the hype here where are blown away and amazed by it! Still it’s a nice option and worth coming back to if I could get past the atmosphere. The place feels like an outdated strip club from the 70’s and not a dime was put into sprucing it up! I mean it’s so unappealing and dingy that I loose my appetite. Just wish the owner made a bit of an effort.

NOT 100% VEGAN - Edit
This is not a 100% vegan restaurant. Very expensive for the portions. I ordered the fried rice and it was all bean sprouts. The marinated and fried tofu was cold. Pho soup was good but there was only one tiny piece of vegan meat
Read morePros: Mostly vegan
Cons: Expensive , Small portions , Slow service

Best banh mi and pho ever! - Edit
I am amazed at how good their food is - everything is absolutely delicious. The banh mi price is high but I promise it’s worth it! Pho is amazing. Other honorable mentions are fried noodles and curry dish.

When in Richmond... - Edit
I visited Richmond recently and found Phoenix Garden using the HC App. The food was quite good and the people (it seems to be family-fun) were very accomodating. The dining experience is super casual. Good option in a not-so-vegan-friendly town.
Read morePros: Vegetarian & vegan-friendly, Family run, Good quality food

Great Food and a Real Local Eat - Edit
The decor is plain but you cannot beat the friendly owners and staff as well as the fresh delicious food. I have had many many of their offerings and have never had an unpleasant plate or experience in tue slightest ever in over 4-5 years.
Read moreI love the Pho and Bahn Mi as well as the Special of the Week which is always something new and tasty. They are some of the nicest people around and if you ask for anything within reason they make it happen. The Pho broth has literally pulled me out of a cold with all the seasoning so forget chicken soup come and get some of their Pho or plain Pho broth.
Pros: Entire menu is Vegan option, Fresh, tasty, and a true mom and pop local spot, Weekly special is always a non menu item treat
Cons: No longer serves beer.

pho is delicious - Edit
The owner is so sweet and kind! Her pho is great, the broth is very good. They have mock drumsticks and other mock meats. The yin yang sesame ball dessert is great and they have vegan funnel cake.

more decoration and less oil would make this place one of my favourites - Edit
Phoenix Garden is a Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. An unpleasant smell approached us as we entered. Luckily our noses adapted. More decorations and lighting would give Phoenix a better dining atmosphere. We had Pho. Fresh vegetables cooked with herbs and spices in a broth with rice noodle, vegan beef, tofu, mushrooms, onion, and cilantro (12 USD). We also ordered Happy Family. Vegan shrimp, beef, and chicken with sautéed fresh vegetables and Lo Mein noodle in a ginger sauce (15 USD). The food was good but had added sugar and a lot of unhealthy oil. Normally, this is okay but the menu exclaimed the foods as being healthy. Vegan does not always mean healthy. Using dates as a sweetener and less oil would be healthier and make this place one of my favourites.

Wow. The food here was so delicious and my mother and (super non-vegan) sister loveddd it. The staff was incredibly nice. I mean probably the best waiter I've ever had. I got the steamed buns, happy family, house-made kombucha, and funnel cake. I would highly recommend all of these!! Also, the funnel cake was the best my family and I have ever had. Do not miss this place!

Very clean and large space, easy thorough menu. Staff extremely friendly. Great bathrooms.
Read moreI had the lunch special pho. Unfortunately may have been the worst pho I have had. I could not finish it it had a strong weird taste and too many mock meats.
I am not a stranger to pho so was a little disappointed. However I would love to return and try a different dish. Maybe that one just wasn't for me.
Pros: friendly, clean, fun menu
Cons: bad pho

What The Pho! - Edit
Seriously, just go here, order the kombucha and the Pho. They have a lunch time special for the Pho. Everything was delicious and I left so satisfied. My husband is not vegan and got the same meal as I did. We live in NC but the next trip we make north we will stop here again.

Nice Pho - Edit
The pho here is nice. If you are unfamiliar with pho, or had problems getting a vegan version, this would be a great introduction to this wonderful dish. If you are a pho-lover that is familiar with this dish, you won't be blown away (it's not bad, it's just not amazing).
Read moreThe restaurant itself has outdated decor, and a strong frying smell. It has a "hole-in-the-wall" sort of vibe, so a great place for a take-out or for a not too picky sit down, but definitely not a place for a date or a family dinner.
Pros: Nice pho, Lots of vegan options, lots of meat-substitutes, Nice service
Cons: The food won't blow you away, Decor is outdated. Hole-in-the-wall sort of feel

outstanding Food - Edit
Visiting Richmond from Dallas area and decided to try this restaurant and was not disappointed. Started with Veg. Spring Rolls, not made on premise that's for sure and not as good as I expected. Then came the PHO entree, which was outstanding, even better than expected. In fact, it was as good as the meat alternative. Soup was delicious, the tofu was light and flavorful, the vegan meat was so good one might mistake it for the real thing; exture and taste was incredible. This is truly exceptional, for dessert I chose corn and sticky rice; it too was exceptionally good and decadently delicious.

I was in the area for a Home & Garden show and was eating too much fast food. This place was so good and made me feel so much better. When you get the soup you can even buy a extra helping of noodles.

Fantastic food - Edit
I'd love to share photos with you all, but we dove into our plates so fast, I missed the photo opp! We had Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, the Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich, and Pan-fried Noodles. Everything was delicious, and I look forward to visiting Richmond again and trying more of their vegan offerings.
