A cozy and welcoming spot in Avignon where you can enjoy a fully vegan meal. I was impressed by the vegan bao—honestly the best I’ve ever had. You can also build your own noodle box with combinations like noodles, tofu, soy sauce, and fresh vegetables. Just be sure to clearly specify that you're vegan when ordering. A great option for plant-based travelers!

Amazing place. We stopped by for lunch and started with spicy chicken bao. The owner was kind enough to serve the bao in half so we each can try - it tasted amazing, so flavorful and fresh. It was a good combo between the chicken sauce and the softness of the bao. I had the tofu noddle with Thai curry and my wife has the traditional beef pho and both were wonderful. Highly recommend the place when you are avignon next time also- reasonable price and wonderful service as . We were sad that we didn't take pictures of the food since we devoured them as soon as they came out. Next time!

Small vietnamese restaurant with good options of dishes. Good taste, reasonable price. They even have a value package that is worth the price. Service a bit long, because there are only 2 people serving. But the owner is friendly and also they serve free water. We thought the pork bao will be the best but actually it's thr noodles and the dumplings
