A Culinary Sanctuary

This cozy little spot is a real gem. The staff is so warm and friendly and the air is filled with delicious aromas. We had the Pho which was wonderful and scrumptious. The Stir Fried Rice Noodle was also amazing and served in generously hot and delectable. The Autumn Rolls were a symphony of flavors and aromas and the Bánh Tét (Sticky Rice with Mung Bean) blew my mind. I’m going back here as often as possible.

Great vegan lunch buffet!

I was on on my way to a different vegan restaurant and saw a sign for this place. I decided to take a look, and I think I made the right choice.

They have a huge lunch buffet with at least 10 different items. Some rice, noodles, and a huge assortment of tofu and jackfruit prepared in various ways. This was definitely one of the food highlights of my Seattle trip.

Pros: Lots of options, Extremely friendly staff, Some of the best tofu of my life

Cons: Small and not very modern

PLEASE try this place

This place is small and not the fanciest but it’s proprietor is the nicest woman ever and the food is amazing. They serve free food to the hungry on Sundays and have a buffet that can be ordered by the pound. The bahn mi are delicious and service is relatively quick. I’ll be back here whenever I can be!

Pros: Everything is vegan and delicious, Friendly happy staff

Cons: Some staff not proficient in English,but friendly, Small space, older interior

Awesome awesome place!!

Wow, this place is the best. The staff are SO unbelievably friendly, they made our visit extra warm and welcoming! I was so happy to have vegan egg rolls after living without them for so long. They were delicious!! I also had the chow mein which was super yummy. I would highly recommend getting the buffet - it is definitely the best value!! The meals a la carte had large portions but were more expensive than I would usually prefer to pay for a meal.

Pros: All vegan, VERY friendly staff

Unclean and bad smell

I had high hopes for this place but I was disappointed. It had a horrible smell like something rotting and overall looked unclean. I had a tofu banh mi and it was medicore at best, and tasted off. I threw away most of it because I was afraid of getting sick. I would not try the buffet since everything is uncovered.

Pros: The person behind the counter was friendly

Cons: Dirty, smelly

I could live at this restaurant!

My favorite place to eat, we have only eaten here once as it's thousands of miles away from home but it's my favorite place to eat! If I win the lottery I will meet the owner again :)) Such a kind sweet soul, I had asked if I could have a menu for an art display I'm working on and she offered it to me even though it's a huge menu in an expensive cover!

Pros: All vegan!, The amount and taste of the food!, The owner and staff :))

Nope

Very disappointed, came here cause of the good reviews. The buffet was 16$ a person not 6$ a plate. We weren’t that hungry so we paid by weight and it was almost as much even though we did get a full plates worth. Most everything was dried out and cold. I’m not from here so I don’t know if this was an off day but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Cons: Only has a ‘good’ health rating, Disorganized , Greasy food

My new favorite!!!

This is our go-to! The Bahn Mi is AMAZING as well as everything else we’ve tried... but as good as the food is, the people are even better! The owner is the sweetest and most lovely person I have met in a very long time. Authentic and always makes you feel so welcome!

Pros: All Vegan, Affordable, Delicious!

Overall one of the loveliest places I’ve ever been

This place has an atmosphere that could put anyone at ease. It is small, quiet, and relaxing. I’ve heard their Banh Mi is amazing- I’ve never tried it because I always get the buffet! An entire vegan Vietnamese buffet- what more could you ask for? The bubble tea is great too (which is saying something, because I work at one of the most famous bubble tea shops in Seattle) and everything is super affordable. It’s run by the most amazing woman I’ve ever met- she is super sweet, generous, and is always wanting to give out extra food or give you discounts if she can. The first time I visited she learned I work in animal rights spheres and offered free catering if I had any nonprofit events coming up. She genuinely cares about her customers and the community. Would definitely recommend coming here if you get a chance!

Pros: Super affordable food , Amazingly sweet owner, Parking in Seattle!!!

Delicious, authentic vegan Vietnamese grub

Lovely little restaurant in the international district. You can order the all you can eat buffet or choose from the main menu. We went for the buffet for $15 and it was amazing. So much choice - seitan meats, tofu, mushrooms and vegetable dishes as well as spring rolls and dessert.

Pros: So much choice and so tasty.

The vegan place for Asian food lovers

Beside a small restaurant they offer a buffet with a lot of variety. It was hard to choose. The staff is very friendly. The prices are really fair.

Pros: all vegan, lots of choice

Absolutely Amazing!

We stumbled across this place on the way to another veggy restaurant and not only did we stay, but we keep going back every single time we're in Seattle! Amazing choice of absolutely delicious food and super friendly owner. It may not look that great but definitely worth trying. They have a menu as well as the buffet but we always go for the buffet - so delicious!

Pros: lots of options (all vegan), friendly and very homely

Good good, friendly owner

Absolutely loved the food here!! The owner is super sweet, and food is so flavorful that it hits the right tastebuds at every bite. We ordered à la carte because we all were craving a good hot soup, and good AND hot it was!! Highly recommend this place to every vegan living in or visiting Seattle.

Best vegan buffet ever

This is truly authentic Vietnamese food. Everything is made from scratch and taste amazing. The lady who runs the restaurant is such an amazing person. Make sure to tell her how much you love her food. She might send you away with even more food. Did I mention it’s only $14 for as much food as you can eat and carry out with you!

Pros: Vegan, Affordable , Delicious

Great place if you miss meat

Food was tasty, except the mock meat was too realistic for me. Most of the buffet consists in this type of meals.
Food wasn’t healthy either.
Great place for those who miss meat, probably a 4 star rank in that regard.

Not for the clean eater...

I'm so sorry that I have to be the one that leaves a negative review...but let's be real, I've never in my life eaten at a dirtier restaurant! If this place didn't have so many great reviews, or if it wasn't 100% Vegan, I would have turned around and left.
The table was dirty and sticky, my seat had food all over it, it looked like a mechanics shop, the ceiling was hanging down, boxes were stacked up in every corner, it smelled really bad, the food was cold, you could hardly see out the windows and then I stopped looking around because I was afraid I was not going to be able to eat.

My husband and I got the buffet. There were interesting options, many were very scarily meat like. I have not eaten meat in well over 10 years, so it was a bit scary. The curry was my favorite but everything was VERY OILY! I didn't feel very well when I left and I did not eat dinner that night. I'm not used to eating such heavy food. If you're into that, you're going to love it. They had TONS of options and you could fool any meat eater.

I just can't get passed the dirty atmosphere, I don't care how good the food is.

Pros: Tons of options, 100% Vegan, Some good food

Cons: DIRTY, Dirty, Oily
