Ordering Strategy

Portions are massive, so consider sharing mains. While the menu is nearly entirely vegan, check the allergy sheet as a few items contain egg. Don't skip the 'nil-meat' options; they are a highlight.

What to order

Safe first

Pho A - Nil-Beef (Soup)

Reviewers describe this dish as 'magical' and 'comforting,' specifically highlighting the 'flavourful broth' and 'realistic' meat alternatives like the nil-beef and steamed nil-pork roll.

Hungry

Katsu Curry

A filling option with substantial mushroom patties and a unique apple-infused sauce. It is well-suited for a big appetite as critics describe the restaurant's main portions as 'massive' and 'generous.'

Wildcard

Hot Glazed Coated Tofu

Voted a 'fave dish' by reviewers, it is celebrated for its 'dreamy' texture and a fiery ginger-coriander sauce that provides a 'lovely heat.'

Wildcard

Bubble Tea

A standout drink option that bloggers claim the restaurant has 'nailed,' earning it a 'fave dish' distinction.

What to skip

Skip
Nil-beef BaguetteReviews recommend avoiding this item because, despite being fresh, it was 'a little dry' and lacked necessary sauce.

Good to know

It is a casual spot with fast service. Dog-friendly (though they prefer you leave pets at home if possible). Reservations recommended for groups.
