Yen L. • March 27, 2011Sizzling rice so is surpringly good!

Ryan • April 30, 2017Even the small pho is a big meal. The veggie version with fried silken tofu is very light and fresh. In the standard version meatballs have a nice medium consistency. Piping hot to blanch the veggies!

Ricardo T. • May 22, 2015Chicken Kabob is the best ever. Amazing food and more than enough portion! Love it!

Amy G. • November 11, 2012The only place I've ever seen vegan baklava. Sweetened with maple instead of honey, these are fantastic. Tons of sugar-free options too!
