Our meal here was mouthwateringly delicious! The pork belly spring roll had a fantastic crunch inside along with the fresh flavors within. The garlic noodles were addicting, bok choy and veggies cooked perfectly, and the chicken was crispy. The mushroom stir fry with beef had well balanced flavors. You can truly feel the love put into this meal. Even the water is divine! (We learned from staff that it's fresh citrus and fruit water that they make daily). As others have mentioned, they make everything from scratch - even the rice paper for the spring rolls - and you can tell because it tastes so fresh. I'm not a vegan but I enjoy vegan food, if I were ever to become a vegan, I'd be eating here to meet my 'meat' cravings - they do a great job! The staff was so lovely and accommodating. They offered us crème brûlée for dessert and it was delectable. A friend sent me a gift certificate to Thanh Tinh Chay for my birthday since she had heard it was amazing and it matched and exceeded expectations. It's unassuming from the outside but definitely a hidden gem! We will be back! :)

Seriously so good. The service was phenomenal and I really appreciated how our server took the time to go over the menu and what went into making the food! She was a gem! The bahn mi was delicious and the egg rolls were so yummy. I haven't had a bahn mi since being gluten free 15 years ago so this place was truly a treat for me. Everything is gluten free, vegan and organic. Would highly recommend stopping by especially if you're gluten free!

Wow, amazing service! And even more amazing food! The server explained to us how they make all the stuff in house that’s why they’re able to have such an extensive menu of all vegan dishes! Loved Helen’s special fried rice and the sate noodle soup. Our food was served by a lovely elderly lady. And in the end, we even got to try their vegan creme brulee, which is the best creme brulee I’ve ever had. Will definitely bring more friends here!

We are in San Diego for one night. I can't believe our good luck at finding this place. It has won all kinds of awards for vegan restaurants and has truly earned them. Everything we ate and drank was exceptional! They offer over 200 items on their menu. It is a very small place, seating only 44 people. We are in town in order to board a ship tomorrow for a two month cruise. I bet this is the best food we will have on the whole trip. Our adventure started with a light juice that was a mixture of many juices and was complimentary. We ordered crispy spring rolls that came with lettuce, mint, and carrots to wrap around the spring roll. It was made in an air fryer and was very crisp but wasn't greasy at all. My husband ordered a spicy noodle dish with vegan Vietnamese sausage. I had Helen Steamed Buns. For dessert we had three small servings of: tapioca pudding with mango, cheese cake, and flan. We are stuffed and happy!

Best vegan restaurant ever!!! Even better than some non-vegan restaurant. We ordered the udon miso soup, crab noodle soup, banh khot, and banh bot loc. the desserts were also very good! We had the creme brûlée and che. All of it was made with no diary and no eggs. It’s amazing what they can do with the ingredients they have and even making it taste better than the original. Highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back.
