One of the best Asian vegetarian/vegan authentic cuisines in Sacramento region!! Seriously, this place is no joke. It's a small discreet hole in the wall restaurant with limited seating but an infinite amount of possibilities and wonder! It's kind of confusing at first. So basically you walk in and there's a whole bunch of food items laid out with no labeling, no idea what anything is. Then there's a menu on top with English. The items do not correspond to menu (I think?). But they do have a menu on the wall behind the cash register that has soups and discrete meals (like pho, bun bo hue, and rice plates. I forgot to get a photo of it.) Basically you can either get some ready made food with write rice and 2-3 entrees or order some hot food that will be ready in <10 minutes. Everything is vegetarian or vegan. They make their own tofu and they have a wide variety of tofu. Pho: I LOVE pho so i have a pretty high standard. Let me tell ya, there is a surprising depth to the broth with a decent amount of tofu/protein in it. They give you a handful of bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil. Bun bo hue, vermicelli, and the entree was also good and very flavorful. The prices are excellent for the portion size. You don't think you're getting a lot, but the tofu is jam packed with protein so you get full easily. Just beware, this place is CASH ONLY. And limited seating. They also sell their tofu and some vegetarian sauces and other food itens. Also, the workers may have limited English knowledge so your service may be different based on who you're talking to. I definitely want to come back and try more vegan options as I had a blast trying all the different entree options!!!!!!

What an interesting experience! It's a Vietnamese Take Away shop with a small Viet grocery store. I was unsure what was vegan and what was vegetarian but any "meat" is faux. The first woman helping me was very sweet but couldn't speak English so well, but another English speaking employee came to help. They were very generous with their portions and the food was great. It is quick, cheap, and tasty! It may take a few times of ordering to get it down, I was a bit out of my element at first but still very happy with my experience. We ordered all kinds of amazing tofu, veggie bbq pork, and their veggie beef noodle soup. The soup was my favorite thing!! I recommend taking it all home and getting a bit creative. Everything needed to be heated up and we decided to fry up the vegan pork to make it a bit crispier. Make sure to come early so you have access to their best offerings! Over all it was really good food and sweet staff and I recommend this place! I do wish they would switch from styrofoam to a more sustainable take away packaging though!

I love this down-home restaurant. All the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Great prices, too! I believe everything there is vegan 💓
