Formerly known as V-Cafe (which explains why I could not find my previous blog post), we have enjoyed this Vietnamese, almost vegan restaurant.
I am not sure if it is still true, but in the past, there was an egg or something somewhere on the menu, but the servers would steer you away from it if you were vegan. Located at the corner of 8th and Carnarvon, it is right at New Westminster Station.
We started with a couple of Salad Rolls. This was vegan Barbeque Pork and Citrus Spare Rib. They were both excellent and came with a delightful peanut sauce. 
I meant to order the Vegan Beef Stew Noodle Soup but my brain had other ideas and I ended up with the Vegan Curry Noodle Soup. This was not a mistake. It was tasty and rich and solved my protein needs for the day. I would mistakenly order this again gladly.
Mharie decided on the Vegan Seafood Noodle Soup. It was also very flavourful and oceany. I'm not sure what all the seafood was but probably commercially available vegan seafood. Lots of veggies that were perfectly cooked (i.e. not too soft). Very good!
I didn't take a dinning room photo which was odd but there is probably seating for 2 dozen here. The Buddhist vibe is not overwhelming here but it reminds us that ahimsa can be a central principle of life. We'll be back.
