Beautiful food, beautiful atmosphere - Edit
The Purple Mint is a uniquely wonderful Vietnamese restaurant with delicious food which is both traditional and innovative. They use non-gmo and a lot of organic ingredients. The restaurant is clean and peacefully pleasant. I was delighted to visit there twice when I was in San Diego recently.

wonderful food! - Edit
We came from Washington state looking for a great vegetarian dinner and we found it here. Every dish had wonderful tastes and unique flavors. The restaurant itself was a nice setting with great service. Be careful with the peanut sauce it's spicy. Although we did not have dessert, the choices looked really good!

Worth the trip! - Edit
Living in NYC, a vegan restaurant is not a novelty. But PurpleMint is awesome! Both times we ate there we over-ordered because everything was so tempting.
Read moreI'd recommend, in particular, the Orange Chicken, and the Avocado Egg-Less rolls are truly unique.
The restaurant is not vegan but almost everything is or can be made so.
From the menu: "We use reputable mock meats like Gardein, Beyond Meats and VegeUSA", so no doubt what you're getting.
Pros: Food
Cons: Service

Six years later, they are all-vegan and service is first-rate.

scrumptious! - Edit
It is great to see a quality vegetarian restaurant going head-to-head with Souplantation, which in my opinion, has lost its way due to corporate greed.
Read moreSimple decor, small, exquisitely selective menu, sauces that pop, great service.
We had Vegi Pho, "Chicken" Satay (my favorite), Lemon Grass Chicken - all vegan.
Pros: price, service, quantity, flavor
Cons: nothing

Delicious Vietnamese Food - Edit
I had the lemon grass dish as an entree, and I had these spicy shrimp items as an appetizer. They food was excellent, it has a lot of flavor, and the faux items were cooked very well, not just thrown into the dish as an after thought. The place was nice, casual, but has a nice decor. I really liked what I had here and will be coming back to try the other items on the menu.
