Not true vegan or vegetarian - Same kitchen as Pho Bamboo

I am a life long vegetarian so I decided to try this place because its call "Green Lotus Vegetarian." When I walked in the restaurant I was directed through a door into another room which I realized later was another restaurant called Pho Bamboo. Hummm...I thought to myself then proceeded to order the Spicy Basil Noodle. It was totally vegetarian according to the description so I thought I was safe. When I got home and inspected the food it had very greasy, oily sauce that was soaking all the soggy vegetables and tiny pieces of really soft chopped up rice noodles. I was so hungry I figured I would try it. They put celery in the food which was not in the description. I hate celery. They left out the tomatoes and basil which was in the description. The second bite of noodles pieces and broccoli had a Huge chunk of CHICKEN in it!! Yes, Green Lotus Vegetarian put REAL CHICKEN in my food. After I looked up Pho Bamboos menu I realized Pho Bamboo is not vegetarian an serves all meat dishes and shares the same kitchen and cook as Green Lotus. I went right back there and got my money refunded and called them out for putting REAL CHICKEN in my vegetarian food. They denied it had chicken in it and played dumb about using the same kitchen and surfaces to prepare meat and vegetarian meals. This felt like false advertising and a bait and switch for vegetarians. Real authentic vegetarian restaurants like Loving Hut or Green Vegetarian Only serve food with NO animal products. This place is a joke if your looking for a true vegetarian restaurant. Please don't waste your time with this place.
