• Tasty Veg Fare In The Richmond

If you have been to Golden Lotus or especially Golden Era you know what to expect (they have almost the exact same menu as Golden Era). Good Vietnamese and Chinese food at a reasonable price. Almost everything on the menu is good except for a few misses. I like the Buddha Bun (or "Steamed Vege Bun" or whatever they are calling it these days) and the Vegetable Fu Young as far as appetizers go. I love the Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Soup and the Wonton Soup is decent as well. The Pho is good for a cheap one dish meal... The entrees can be a little soy heavy,(they even put soy meat in the Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables for Chrissake) but most are pretty tasty. I would recommend AVOIDING: the "specials" menu,the Tay Ho rolls(appetizer), the Seaweed Soup,the Indian Rice and the Curry Vegetables. Lastly a word on the "fish" dishes: many people dislike them, but a few people I know love them (they don't taste like fish just more processed soy) Oh and the Shrimp is not vegan (eww!).
