Cute low-key place. Food was good overall, but the menu does not clearly indicate which items are vegan, in fact it appears that there are none without needing some substitutions which makes it tricky with dietary restrictions. My Bol de l'île had much sparser toppings than the picture in the menu, it didn't feel worth the additional $3 from the normal bowl, especially since they ended up having to remove the creamy sauce as it wasn't vegan.

My spring roll was delicious. I picked it up for lunch today & ate it a few hours later. Very tasty & hearty & made me less cranky.

I had high hopes but unfortunately found that the food was quite overpriced. The tofu bún was 90% rice noodles with literally 1 lettuce leaf & a sprinkle of vegetables & fresh herbs. Disappointing.

I enjoyed my pho (even though it came with chicken & did not have a beef option, which is a bit strange in pho terms), but my girlfriend did not like the tofu. So 4 star is a middle ground. The atmosphere & service were great though.
