Heart & Soy

For quick service goodness, anyone seeking vegetarian Asian cuisine is going to be very very happy at Heart & Soy. They even have a fridge up front if you want to grab & go cookies (the gingersnap cream cheese sandwich has my heart) or various parfait/puddings (omg the mango tapioca!) and drinks too, like Vietnamese coffee (not dairy-free due to the condensed milk).Now let's talk about the tofu. Generally, tofu is one of my favorite things in life and H&S makes theirs in-house. I'd say you must order something that features it and the option that is in a league of its own would be the sweet rice balls. They are crispy and come in a sauce that is more savory than sweet which I prefer. I also enjoyed the green beans & tofu so much that I ate the entire thing, and that's after demolishing those rice cakes. I wastefully got an unnecessary side of rice too which I won't do next time. I dined in b/c it was a little too far from my hotel to justify bringing it back there and while there are tables, it's really a place I'd opt to dine in out of necessity. For dining in, Roots next door is more of a restaurant. Heart & Soy has my heart for now and forever more.

The food was incredible and I don't say that lightly. I'm not even vegan, but was traveling with vegan friends and we were really excited to come across this gem not too far off our route. We tried quite a bit and nothing there was nothing to critique! The pad Thai didn't quite taste like traditional pad Thai, but was delicious, the pho was a delight. Our vegan friends are Laotian and haven't found vegan pho unless they make it themselves so they were so happy! The lemongrass added such a great bright flavor to it, like a warm hug! The egg rolls were some of my favorite I've ever had- and I can't remember my entree but it was delicious too! The mango pudding was probably my favorite. I was kicking myself for not buying a second to have the next morning! We tried the bbq banh mi, which she liked. And the vegan cheesecake was top notch! The chai cookie was good and perfect for our swiftie trip. The vegan fudge was also amazing, as a non-vegan fudge lover- I was impressed!

I'm not vegan but I love this place. They make their own tofu in house. You can taste the love they pour into their food--it's all so fresh and delicious. Order at the counter and grab a table. Favs--Hue spicy noodle soup--two types of tofu, bean sprouts, greens, carrots, cilantro, noodles, lime, chili oil. This soup hits the spot every time, especially on a cold day or if you're sick or just need a pick me up. It's warm and the perfect amount of spicy that isn't overwhelming and keeps you wanting more. I love the crunchy bean sprouts and all the other textures. Orange tofu-- delicious. Great flavor and the tofu is light and meaty Crispy shiitake mushrooms-- super yummy! Sautéed veggies and crispy mushrooms. So chewy and delicious House salad was fresh and delicious

I dined in for lunch this week at Heart & Soy, and as usual it didn't disappoint. On street parking was hard to find during the lunch hour, but I parked down a nearby street. When you arrive you have two choices to enter, either to Heart & Soy or Roots. We chose Heart & Soy for a more low key lunch. When we arrived, most of the tables were available. We were provided a menu and walked to the front to place an order. I ordered the rice noodles with egg roll and added tofu - with the extra tofu the price was $14+, which is a little more than I usually like to spend. The restaurant is simple and is mostly run by two people. After we ordered we were provided water cups, which I appreciated, and took a seat. We didn't wait long for our meals to arrive. The staff asked if I wanted spicy sauce, which I appreciated. The meal was delicious, fresh and filling! I'd highly recommend most of the items on the menu. If you're looking for a low key vegetarian meal, stop by Heart & Soy in the Highlands.

As soon as I knew I'd be coming to Louisville, the first thing I thought of was how excited I was to get one of my favorite sandwiches ever!! It was just like I remembered, and is a must-try if you still haven't had one. Such fresh and crispy vegetables + herbs and INCREDIBLE thin bbq tofu strips with the perfect banh mi (Vietnamese baguette). Creamy, light layer of aioli. This sandwich is legitimately perfect and I haven't found anything similar as good as it yet in NYC ! Friend loved the vegetable fried rice as well as her BBQ Tofu sandwich. The only thing I regret was that I didn't devour a few more of them!!

Nice little vegan restaurant. Nothing too fancy. Good range of foods on the menu and the dishes are affordable. We had gyros sandwiches, jicama spring rolls, fried tofu, and some drinks (no alcoholic beverages here). All were very good. The service was good as well. Would return, would recommend.

Not a vegetarian or vegan but I LOVE this place. They do not miss. Food is always fantastic and fresh. Service is always great. One of my favorite lunch spots in town.

This place had absolutely phenomenal food with good size portions. The food came out pretty quickly for a busy Friday night. Great gluten free and vegan options as you would guess. The almond boba tea was on point and so was the mango smoothie. 10/10 would come back and definitely recommend.

Wife and I had a great meal here last night. We both had a bowl of hue hot spicy noodle soup. We split a pair of spring rolls that my wife loved.

Delightful find while visiting the city! Lots of options on the menu and the food didn't take very long to come out (maybe 10 minutes?). Flavors were balanced and complex yet subtle.
