| - Vegetarian and vegan food from a hole in the wall on the outskirts of Chinatown- specifically in the same building as Golden Tiki, but on the side facing Wynn, by Yu Yu. I had a hell of a time finding the place and missed it more than once.
The menu is fairly simple, with apps, soups, Chinese dishes, and bahn mi-style sandwiches, as well as boba- all vegetarian or vegan, the boba beverages made with soy milk. Prices are low, service is friendly, and the only real downside is the cash-only policy, which I always forget about (or else I'd be by more frequently).
The crispy "chicken" and avocado sandwich is pretty solid- heads up that it's heaped with tons of shredded carrot, which can overwhelm the other flavors at times. The bread is also not the freshest, openly kept in the refrigerator by the front counter. But the flavors inside the sandwich? They work, and not in a way that obviously betrays the fake nature of the "meat".
Another fave is the Vietnamese handrolls- the pork skin version gets a lot of praise from in other reviews, but I stick to the beef, which has a surprisingly believable texture, even if the roll itself is a bit heavy on the noodles and lighter on the herbs and veggies than I'd like.
Service is quick. Park on the street. And don't forget your cash.
