Limited vegan options; too heavy on spices

We ate here with my (non-vegan) dad for Father's Day and weren't impressed. It's nice that they offer two vegan burger/sandwich options, but they're the same ones everyone has been reviewing on here for years (Jackfruit Bahn Mi and Falafel Burger). Granted, those options are a welcome change from the Portobella burger that most other non-vegan restaurants tend to offer, but changing things up seasonally -or even yearly- would be great.

My kids and I ordered the Bahn Mi and Falafel Burger - both with fries. The fries were very salty, and -as others have mentioned- the Bahn Mi was waaay too spicy. The Falafel Burger, which I split with my daughter, was decent but nothing amazing. The servings were huge which would have been wonderful if the Bahn Mi wasn't so spicy.

A lot of local non-vegans rave about this place. I'd love to visit again and be able to revise this into a more positive review, but they need to loosen up on the spices for the Bahn Mi and/or nix both of their current vegan selections and add a couple of new ones.

Pros: Two vegan burger/sandwich options, Large portions, Waitress was friendly and attentive

Cons: 25-30 minute wait time despite low # of customers, Limited parking; had to park about 2 blocks away, Bahn Mi was way too spicy

Overall solid and good vegan awareness

Had a good experience here. They have some clearly marked vegan options that are good, and they were able to understand and accommodate making the beet and greens vegan. Not a ton of options, and the food was a 4/5, not incredible.

Falafel Burger and Jackfruit Bahn Mi

Both the burger and bahn mi were awesome. Great flavor. Hand cut fries were also perfectly crispy. Small space so make a reservation if you can.

Pros: House made ingredients, Upscale choices, Flavors are good

Sometimes

Sometimes they are willing to work with specific orders. The times I have been here I have had mixed results. I believe it depends on your server. 2/4 times I went hungry with no meal.

Pros: Salad greens are delicious, The salads are loaded (when applicable)

Cons: Diet restrictions/editing may be rejected, Servers knowing how to handle editing food dishes

Great Falafel Burger, Overly Spicy Bahn Mi

This underground restaurant has great decor and friendly service! The falafel burger had the perfect amount of crunch and sauce to make it worth the trip. However, my girlfriend and I had some dislikes.

We arrived around 8:00 PM to eat and it took about 40 minutes for our order. I was excited about the Bahn Mi, but it unfortunately ended up tasting too spicy to finish that day and had some odd flavors to it. The fries were also way too salty to finish and were visibly covered in it.

Overall, I would go back for the falafel burger, but not the Bahn Mi or fries without tweaks.

Delicious vegan options

Menu changes but when I was there it had 2 options labeled vegan & server was knowledgeable about how to customize others. I had the jackfruit Bahn Mi & it was excellent! There was also a falafel burger. Great craft beer selection & even better service!
