I wanted to love this place. Any time I see the expansion of the Vietnamese food community, my stomach leaps a little. This place is a tofu place that makes tofu dishes to go. On a weekday lunch, I picked up tofu spring rolls and tofu pudding. You order at the register and the food is made in the back.
The tofu spring rolls lacked a little pizzazz. It had iceberg lettuce, mint, bean sprouts, vermicelli noodles and was served with hoison peanut butter sauce. The spring rolls could be spruced up with some picked carrots and/or diakon, garlic chives, or cucumber. Vegetarian doesn't have to be so bland.
On to what I really loved about this place. I love the tofu pudding. I hadn't had any in soooo long. Don't be fooled. This is a real treat, don't be turned off by the idea of a tofu dessert. The texture is creamy and the ginger sugary syrup is divine (sweet and spicy - like me). I would come back just to have this again.
Just be warned, there were two of us there on a weekday and it took a good 15 minutes to get my food, not like the Socal food to go places.
