Andy Nguyen's Vegetarian Restaurant
Since 1985 Andy Nguyen's Vegetarian Restaurant has been wowing both vegetarians and carnivores with Vietnamese dishes, including "fish" and "meat" dishes made from soy. The "mock meat" is so good, nonvegetarians cannot tell the difference. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturday 12:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.. Most dishes are inexpensive (under $10 in 2009), and the restaurant takes major credit cards.
