Expensive mediocrity

This vegetarian restaurant has a number of vegan options, but if you’re looking for authentic tasting Vietnamese veg food, you won’t find it here. (NB: I am Vietnamese.)

The waitstaff was lovely and helpful, the ambiance was nice, but the food was expensive and nothing like veg food you’d find in Vietnam.

We tried a number of dishes and the only ones we liked were the fried oyster mushrooms, the lemongrass seitan, and the tamarind juice (though overly sweet). Unfortunately, the banh mi, banh xeo, vegan fish sauce, and egg(less)rolls were disappointing. I didn’t try them but my husband really disliked the fried tofu skins.
