Ong Tao Vegan

Standard Vietnamese food but make it vegan 🌱 The dishes are tasty but not outstanding. I’ve been to many vegan Vietnamese places and this one doesn’t disappoints, but it also didn’t surprise me. They offer the standard dishes that I’ve seen elsewhere. Portion sizes are good, food is tasty and service is quick and friendly!

Phenomenal food. This is one of those incredible places you should take someone who thinks they ‘don’t like vegan food.’ The menu is expansive and has a whole range of Asian fusion dishes, from curries to bao burgers - and all of it vegan! I have travelled a lot in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and rate this food. Highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this place because I want to encourage vegan restaurants. However, this was not my vibe. I would never wish number 16 (Bún măng vịt chay) upon my enemies. It smelled like a barnyard animal with halitosis. There was a very strange smell in the dish. I mentioned it to a server and they also smelled it and said it wasn’t wrongly prepared. SO, I ate it—but I regretted every moment. I suspected the smoky vegan duck tainting the flavor, but I really don’t know. In contrast the mushroom dumplings and Miến xào chay were good. And the Bánh Bao was exceptional. I don’t know what went so terribly wrong with number 16, either my bowl was rancid and server didn’t notice or I discovered my kryptonite. My friend ended up finishing the duck soup and had an upset stomach the rest of the night. Servers were very busy. Food and order were timely but rushed. The atmosphere is nice, it was a fairly busy night. If it was less crowded or the servers had more time, I would have exchanged for another dish. I’d go back but I would just eat several orders of the delicious steamed buns.
