Annie Cafe

This is a relatively small place that may not be the best date night outing. But the prices are right and the customer service can't be beat. There is a vegetarian section on the menu. I informed the waitress that I was vegan after I placed my order. She was certain to let the kitchen know that they should fry some fresh jasmine rice without any egg for the tofu and veggie fried rice. I can appreciate the prior review about the standard items on the menu. But for someone that travels regularly, it's comforting to know that I am familiar with the options here.

So Annie's has a clearly labeled vegetarian section that you may easily verify or switch to vegan. Almost everything is already vegan which is a plus.

The downside is the lack of creativity. It seems they depend on the presence of tofu based dishes to please the veg heads. I'd like to see something like a vegetable dumpling, spring rolls, etc. They're appetizers are the likes of fried tofu, summer rolls filled with tofu, etc.

I usually get some kind of rice noodle dish with stir fried veggies. The food isn't bad. Although sometimes the food is bland, but the assortment of sauces on the table can quickly fix that. The service isn't horrible. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat it works. Or of it's a Wednesday and Vietnam Kitchen is closed.

It's a small place but it has an extensive menu and everything extremely well-priced. If you are a tofu person, there are MANY good tofu dishes here. Everything I've tried is really delicious and the portions are pretty big (and the leftovers are delicious!)
