Tucked away within a dusty commercial center, saturated with the sights and scents of Southeast Asia, lies a humble restaurant that has been a stalwart provider of reliably vegan food to the Dallas area for years. Driven by deep religious conviction, long before veganism became a trend, they have elevated Vietnamese cuisine, with its intricate tapestry of flavors, to the highest degree of health, ethics, and taste. Ethical, tasty, good for you, the animals, and the environment – a rare and commendable combination.
The ambiance is unassuming, with chairs and tables that have clearly witnessed better days, adding to the restaurant's unpretentious charm. The kitchen appeared overwhelmed when two groups arrived simultaneously, yet the waitress remained remarkably cheerful, navigating the chaos with grace. Even with a twenty-minute delay, the food arrived hot and delicious, a testament to their commitment to quality.
In addition to the fresh menu offerings, the restaurant also features a revolving selection of shelf-stable and refrigerated goods available for takeout, allowing you to extend the experience beyond the confines of the meal.

Read moreI've never been to a Vietnamese restaurant so this was a first for me. I'm not sure if the smell of the restaurant is common with the foods that are prepared but, it was not easy on my stomach. I honestly cannot even describe it or compare it to anything I've smelled before. I wouldn't think it's a common smell accompanying anything edible. I pushed myself to eat there since I had drove a ways to get there. But, now I know. They have all of the eatery/silverware in a dingy old container on the table that we dig in and get ourselves, with the mouth part pointing upward. Clearly everyone is able to touch over all them just to get theirs. I ordered at the counter and then went to sit. By then, it was too late to order my food to-go. I suffered through the entire experience, especially being a germaphobe. The restaurant says vegan but, the sign in the restaurant says vegetarian. I asked her which one were they and she replied, "huh"? So yes, never again for me. Also, the food was very basic and not worth the hype I read about, which prompted me...
Read moreThis is a very authentic Vietnamese restaurant and a gem for vegans. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, they don’t know what they’re talking about. Yes, the decor could use some work, but this is quality food. Make sure to order the Pho, or any of their noodle dishes. If you order sweet and sour chicken or chowmein or pad thai, that’s your fault for missing out on all their best dishes. If you’re not used to the flavors of Vietnamese cooking, then withhold your criticism until you can better appreciate it. It’s so rare to find a fully vegan Vietnamese restaurant, and I think their dishes definitely are on par with non-vegan Vietnamese dishes. The owners and workers are very friendly and work very hard. There are some boxes in the back but who cares? There are other restaurants outside and a grocery store, but there are no disturbing smells. It smells like Vietnamese food and spices, which is a good sign! I wish I lived in Dallas and...
