| - This place has completely exceeded my expectations! My sister and I are both vegan and were looking for a place to eat for dinner and saw this place just opened up with a full vegan menu!! (They also serve non-vegan options and they deliver)
It's a cute, small, family-owned business in a great spot; located about 5 minutes from the freeway and within walking distance to Mesa Community College. There's plenty of places to park as well.
We were greeted by our lovely waiter as soon as we walked through the door and were sat immediately. The place is very clean and the bathroom was clean as well. We were given two menus; one with all the food and the other with all the drinks and desserts. I started off with a refreshing, ice cold water infused with oranges and mint and my sister got a thai ice tea with coconut cream which I took a sip of and it's fantastic. We browsed the vegan menu for a bit and decided to get spring rolls, vegan pho, and later we ordered sticky mango rice and fried banana rolls. The food, drinks, and dessert were fairly priced and the portion sizes were huge! My sister ended up having to take her entree and dessert to go.
On taste critique, the spring rolls were fantastic. Nice and light while filling you up. The same goes for the vegan pho. It came with a variety of vegetables like bok choy and mushrooms, to name a few, and tofu! The broth was airy and fresh. To finish both desserts were tasty and felt healthy as the fried banana rolls were not too oily and the sticky mango rice had a lighter, not too intense sweet taste. I love this restaurant's emphasis on not only great tasting food, but their dedication to fresh ingredients and no MSG. The service was excellent as well, as we were visited multiple times to fill up on water and ask about the food.
All in all, I wish I could give this place higher than 5 stars. They hit it out of the park on every aspect; location, cleanliness, service, and food. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time! My advice is to start coming before word spreads and this place gets packed!!!
