The term "American-Indo-Asian" can describe the menu here. We had Mao Baos and Manchurian Sizzler, and loved both. That Mumbai Sandwich style chutney in Bao with pickled vegetables hits a perfect taste spot... I am definitely coming back to have some more Bao here. Manchurian Sizzler had both rice and noodles as well as fried and veggies. All tasted great! Service was quick and friendly. We were here for weekday lunch it wasn't crowded. Nice simple ambiance. Menu is really good with variety of options available. Must try place for vegetarians and vegans in the bay area.

My first visit to this restaurant had me intrigued by its claim to serve Asian vegetarian cuisine, so I expected healthy, flavorful dishes. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations.The restaurant seemed understaffed, with just one cashier who appeared to be a newbie. I ordered the Farmer's Noodle and Basil Fried Rice. When the noodle dish arrived, I was stunned--what was that? A chaotic mix of vegetables and noodles drowned in an overly greasy, cloyingly sweet sauce. The presentation was non-existent, and the taste? A disappointing 1/10. All I could taste was the overpowering sweetness of the sauce.The fried rice didn't look appealing either, though it tasted slightly better--just average. To make matters worse, there were tiny flies buzzing around throughout the meal, making the dining experience uncomfortable and unhygienic.Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this place for a second visit.

Ordered mao bun, green soup & manchurian sizzler. Mao bun had amazing flavors. Mix of fresh & crispy texture in the bun. The green soup(have had multiple times here) is the best dish here. Tons of vegetables, noodles, flavors! The quantity is very good as well. Manchurian sizzler was a disappointment. It was super dry, lacked flavors. The sauce which they gave on side was not at all manchurian sauce but seemed like tomato sauce. Service - We always do take out from here but this was the first time we came in. Service was slow(considering it was very busy being friday)Ambiance - Decent, spacious+Point1. Great vegan options2. Innovative use of tofu in dishes.

I didn't expect flies buzzing around throughout the meal. The exterior and deco of the restaurant is nice, dish presentation is also nice, however flies are annoying. I got the tofu vermicelli, it was ok, instead of fish sauce they used soy sauce. Understandable because it's vegan. My friend got the Thai basil fried rice and that was the best among the group. Other things on the table were so-so. Nothing bad but no surprise as well. For the food it's 3-stars but flies are annoying.

We were here for dinner on a weekend. We got the table quickly. We tried the following items Crispy Cauliflower: 5/5. This lived up to its name and was really crispy. Pad Thai with extra tofu : 5/5. My husband loved this so much the other day that he reordered the same dish. The tofu that comes with it was flavored very well. Vegan Pho : 5/5. If you enjoy pho, this is definitely worth the try. I enjoyed the flavor of the broth. There was good amount of veggies and tofu that came along with it. This is a very wholesome dish. This place offers such great value for money. And the service is very really friendly. I'll be back to try more items from the menu.

Went here for the first time taking a break from Annapoorna next door which was super crowded. This is owned by the same owners. Food was really good and tasted authentic. We ordered the Thai sizzler and pad Thai. Large food portions and we were stuffed at the end. Both can be split by two adults unless really hungry. In the Thai sizzler, the cauliflower bites and pineapple rice were especially good as was the noodles. Highly recommend this place if you like Asian food but are vegetarian.

I ordered the Green Hue (Bun Bo Hue Chạy). I was a bit suspicious that the workers referred to it as "the green soup) and on the label also was put as "green spicy soup). It was weird to me because I expected them to refer and label the food as it was on the menu. Anywho, I tried the order and it was so disappointing. The consistency of the noodles was over cooked and mushy. It was also chopped up which I was confused on why they would cut the noodles. I had to keep pulling the noodle apart because it was so soft and mushy that it got clumped up all together. The broth itself was bland and had no flavor. For this to be an "asian vegetarian restaurant," I would expect the food on the menu to be up to par at the very least, rather than leaving it flavorless. The broth was seriously just water. I had to add a whole bunch of my own seasoning and condiments to give it ANY flavor. It felt so inedible as I had to eat it like I'm feeding a baby due to the noodles being randomly cut up, and basically eating over cooked noodles in warm water as soup. Completely disappointed and would not recommend.

We went to Asian Bowl as it had vegetarian and Jain options. We went around 7 pm and there was not much rush at the weekend. Around 8 pm restaurant was full and 1-2 families were in waiting line.Service was good and quick, and servers were respectful and pleasant. Restaurant and tables were clean. Although Restaurant can do better in napkins and sauces at table (had dirty hand sanitizer).We ordered Jain Sizzler, Roti Parata, Manchurian Sizzler, and Thai Sizzler. All the food arrived on time.Roti Prata was Malaysian readymade Paratha that you easily get in indian stores, so I wouldn't recommend it, although the chutney with it was good in taste.All 3 Sizzler were presented well but bland in taste, perhaps can't compare them with india standards. Manchurian balls were not prepared fresh. You can feel crispyness on the balls but rawness inside.Garlic chutney on the table was oily and something weird in taste.Overall, the food was very oily and bland in taste, so I wouldn't probably go again because the price is also too high (may be because it is in a commercial setting).

In short this is an Americanized Indo Asian fusion restaurant. Ordered a takeout Friday afternoon. - mao pao- spring garden roll- Green Hue soup- Thai Sizzler- Chili Garlic Noodles with tofu- Veg Fried rice with tofu All medium spicy where applicable. Food was delicious! Had a lot of fresh veggies. Looks like they created a menu that has all the best vegetarian dishes among all asian cuisines. ( Thai + Malaysian + Chinese + Korean etc) Will definitely be coming back !
