Vegan Vietnamese - Edit
We planned our day around having lunch here. (Since they are only open 11-3 and we live an hour away.) We tried to park in the lot across the street but got an alert that said (even though it was 75 percent empty) it was unavailable and we would be towed. So we found another “pay to park” 2 blocks away. We placed our order, and by the time I had a quick look at the Main Gallery next door, our food was ready. We got all the starters and ate the deep fried “Dumplings” immediately. They reminded me more of potstickers. They were crispy and delicious and the sesame dipping sauce was yummy. The Cheesy Wontons had a spinach dip flavor. The Ginger Lemongrass Tofu noodles were my favorite. It was loaded with flavor and the veggies on top were fresh. I highly recommend. My husband got the Coconut Potato Curry special (over rice noodles) and loved that too. We saved the Bon Mi and Spring Rolls for later. Happy Cow wouldn’t let me give it higher than a 4.

Banh Mi - Edit
I can’t believe happy cow doesn’t allow me to give this a five star rating since it’s not vegan. I think they offer dairy in coffee but everything else is vegan so this is crazy. I’m a regular at Vu Noodles and the banh mi is beyond.

We love Vu Noodles - Edit
Everything is vegan as is, except a few items have an option for fish sauce instead of the normal vegan sauce. We go here regularly, I think we've tried almost everything they offer and it is all delicious. The bahn mi is fantastic! You order at a window and eat at very pretty outdoor garden tables. The owners are very nice and friendly.

Update: this is one of my favorite veg restaurants in Charlottesville I visit frequently!

Nice place - Edit
It's a cozy and nice place. We had the lemon grass noodles and the crispi rolls. They tasted nice. The only thing about the noodles, I wish there were vegetables in the dish. It was mostly tofu and noodles. Thus, the dishes could be better.

Caters to everything I want as a vegetarian - Edit
This is by far my favorite veggie restaurant in town. Why settle for another lame veggie burger when you can have all-natural non processed fresh veggies & protein. Price is incredibly reasonable for this quality standard & the owner is friendly.
Read morePros: Protein rich foods, Large variety of fresh veggies, Reasonable prices

Fresh, delicous, and generous portions! - Edit
I called ahead to ask about menu options that I saw online, and Karen was so friendly and offered to take my order over the phone so that she could have my order ready when I arrived! Everything on the menu is vegan/vegetarian, so it was really exciting to have everything on the menu be an option for me. They have a good variety, too! I got the curried tofu salad on naan and a green tea with chai seeds. I was instructed to peel off the foil as I ate to help keep all of the toppings on the sandwich and given extra napkins. The sandwich was stuffed with delicious fresh cabbage and the incredibly flavorful curried tofu. I enjoyed every bite! The tea was also great, very light and refreshing. Plan to eat somewhere outside on the downtown mall, as they do not have seating. I would say that this is one of my favorite vegan dishes I've eaten in Charlottesville and I really enjoyed my interactions with the staff. I can't wait to go back and try something new (or maybe the same thing again...)!
