I've previously expressed my fondness for Nhut Quang, the vegan Vietnamese restaurant on NE 82nd and NE Fremont. I went again twice in the past week with friends, and would like to declare my "new favorite dish" award to #19, the BBQ Roasted Gluten.
There is also Van Hanh on SE 82nd and Division, which is simpler and faster for me to get to from my residence, but I would certainly consider tasty vegan Vietnamese food destination dining and I prefer the actual food at Nhut Quang and the experience of making a point to go there.
As a vegan establishment that I thoroughly enjoy, I make a point to support them. I had reason to worry about their future, hence the recent visits. If you are also a fan or haven't been yet - please check them out. The economy blows and independent restaurants are being affected. Support your veg*n friendly favorites!
Here's a look at what my friends and I shared for dinner last night:
BBQ Roasted Gluten
Vietnamese Crepes
Vietnamese Crepe greens station - lettuce, mint and basil
Green Beans and Gluten
Steamed Bun
A look inside.
Sushi Rolls with lovely peanut sauce
And salad rolls
And elsewhere in vegan-friendly Vietnamese friendly dining, here's my recent pho take out from Huong's Vietnamese cart downtown. Read the Stumptown Vegans review here.

those stuffed buns remind me of manapua in hawaii. now i really have to check this place out. had it been a 6pm dinner i would have gone yesterday but i was still full from brunch and ended up eating dinner at 8:30. this looks tasty though. thanks for the heads up!
oh my goodness! that all looks so amazing... i wish i could get vietnamese food where i live. i've only ever had it in new york, and loooooved it.
Wow! Spectacular food! A vegan Vietnamese restarant, how lucky!
Damn. I wish I lived in Portland!
woah. mouth = seriously watering.
Definitely keep 'em in business! Wish I had one where I live!!
I love Nhut Quang. The owners are always super nice and remember me when I go in. It's quite a hike out to their location but I really like supporting them.
Jealous of your fine vietnamese eateries!
That looks so fantastic, I am super jealous...I want some!
I especially loved the steamed bun, that looks so cool :)
I would drive hours for food like that. Just for the gluten, the rest would be bonus foods!
Wow! I would totally go to that restaurant if I could. That food looks so amazing and yummy and just...really good!
Yum! everything looks so good. I love the nori wrapped in rice paper..
Yay!
This is a great (& very timely) post!
My bf & I are hoping to return to Portland in a few weeks, so I'll definitely have to check some of this food out, first-hand!
Thanks for the great ideas :)
OMG! That food looks just amazing. I wish I had a nice vegan resturaunt to go to. But I'm in the south and there aren't many options for me. If I'm ever in Portland, I'll definately eat at this place.
Ooh, I want some crepes & a steamed bun! I may have to go here on my next PDX trip.
