Vegetarian options: Yes—spring rolls, garlic noodles, and tofu options available.
Vegan options: Limited—some noodle dishes and veggie rolls work if you skip fish sauce.
Gluten-free options: Partial—pho and rice dishes are naturally gluten-free but cross-contact possible in a food-truck setup.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re both into casual outdoor dining; it’s more picnic-style than romantic, but fun and low-pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—SPARK operates with communal tables; arrive early for easy seating before crowds build.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—SPARK’s open-air layout is great for families, with space for strollers and casual eats kids recognize.
