Kayla and the Pho805 crew are presenting a special vegan buffet, with four appetizers and four main dishes. The openers include crispy mushrooms, fresh avocado rolls, tofu rolls and “egg” rolls (no chickens involved). The namesake soup, Pho, is among the main courses, with stir-fried eggplant (with basil and tofu), sauteed tofu with lemongrass and chili, and fried rice. All are 100 percent free of animal products.

Pho805 is open to all ages, located at 1539 E. Grand Ave. (across from Smart & Final). Plenty of free parking available.
