| - I was sorta in the area, previewing a house for a client, when I Yelped a place to eat and came across this Vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant. It's located on an Industrial strip on Cawthra, just North of the Queensway.
Interior of the restaurant looks renovated and welcoming, despite the weird location.
Atmosphere is casual. My friend & I literally just helped ourselves to the menu and sat ourselves. So don't expect a greeting, to be seated or acknowledged right away. Laidback is how they roll.
5/5 - For uniqueness as I don't know of any other Veg Vietnamese places in the city or even GTA. Even if you ask for no meat at pho places, the broth itself is still made out of beef bones.
3.5-4/5 - For the dish that I had, N03. I don't know the name, but it was some kinda pho noodle soup with mock meat. Soup did taste different from your usual pho place, so keep that in mind. I don't believe that there was MSG in it, but it was still very tasty. This is probably an unfair comparison because it's not the same type of cuisine, but the food still wasn't as good as Lotus Tea House, vegetarian as well. My friend enjoyed her Bun Bo (beef) Hue...without the bo, but I never had a chance to try it.
Prices were on-par/slightly lower than most pho places. Both noodles dishes that were ordered were $7.50ea, Banh Mi was $3, Rice dishes were around $8, Avocado Shake/Viet Coffee was $4.
