| - **Update: there are two menus here, a menu catering to more "American" taste items and one with authentic Vietnamese vegetarian. This review is for the Vietnamese menu**
Warning: if you like super clean, wanna-be fancy ikea decorated restaurants and don't like authentic Vietnamese food...this is not the restaurant for you!
I think Vietnamese vegetarian food is incredibly underrated and very over shadowed by more popular dishes like pho and spring rolls. With a large Buddhist population, Vietnamese make some of the best vegetarian meals, although I admit I am slightly biased. Even if you're not vegetarian like me, you would be considering it if you tried Vietnamese imitation meat.
After moving from socal, my expectations for Arizona Asian food is very low, but this place surprised me! It's actually one of the best Vietnamese vegetarian restaurants I've been to, and very comparable to homemade food (sorry grandma!). Yes, it's a bit hole in the wall, but who cares? Bun Mang Vit was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Other dishes I tried were very good, too, like the mi xao gion (crispy noodles) and com tam (broken rice). Great variety of dishes, good portions and delicious food.
