Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Such a pleasant stop before/after the hospital! When we entered we were immediately greeted and seated. The place was nice and clean and the woman attended to us right away. The food was very tasty, I ordered a combination pho and my friend ordered a veggie plate. The check came at a nice time and we enjoyed the candy they had at checkout. The woman who rang us up was so sweet! We will be coming here again since I anticipate more hospital visits :)

Delicious Pho. Had the meatball pho and gave it some extra spirit with hoisin and sriracha! Lovely people and clean dining area.

We walked in having never been to ANYTHING in Cedar Rapids, before. As we parked there was a police squad car out front as the officers were grabbing their lunch. I asked them what was good and one officer said "Ask him (pointing to the other officer)... he orders here all the time!" So, I did. He recommended the 7.0 (Combination Shrimp, Chicken, and Pork fried rice) and it was delicious. I also ordered fresh spring rolls and they were yummy and managed to convert my friend (who does not like peanut sauce) and had never had spring rolls that weren't fried, to eat them and proudly exclaim she like them and would "definitely get these again". Nice people working at the restaurant, too.
