Amazing place to dine! My boyfriend and I were both super impressed by how delicious the food was and how great the service is! We got the king oyster mushroom tempura, green Thai curry, Singapore noodles, and the fried banana dessert. You can choose your own spice levels for the dishes which is very convenient. Thanks again!

I had dinner here alone and everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the spring rolls & dumplings for my appetizers and the vegan pad thai for my entrée. Wow, talk about flavorful! The spring rolls and dumplings were fresh with excellent veggie + mushroom flavors, and the pad thai was the star of the show. It came out steamy with the perfect mix of sweet peanut & savory veg. Generous portions that weren’t overly filling. I appreciated that everything I ordered was vegan. The only negative was that the service was a bit slow, but probably to be expected for a Saturday night!

One of the few restaurants that had this good taste and this good experience! All vegetarian options, that was the beauty of it. No shortfalls, just wished they had a bigger place so that they could fit in more customers as we waited for 5-10 mins plus table space was little crunchy but good food filled that gap!

So happy to find a fully vegetarian place. Most of the options are vegan too. Everything was delicious but I have to recommend the Siamese Dream noodles above all, it was delicious. The staff was also adorable.

You cannot go wrong with this place! By far, my most favourite dine-in experience in Portland. Amazing food, lip smacking red hot sauce which I really love, good decor and seating, friendly staff. I moved out of portland a few months back but I really miss this place. Highly recommend this place. Huge love to the team

Yummy vegan food in downtown Portland. Parking was a pain to find but the food made up for it. Serving size was generous. Service was very quick and place was clean.

Really incredible food! Different „meat“ substitutes in famous broadly Asian dishes! Beautifully kind people, the ambience and atmosphere was lovely! Each dish we had was simply great! Nuanced flavors. The hot sauce is dangerous(!) Incredible to have a fully veg restaurant in Portland!
