Serves meat, vegan options available. St. Paul Vietnamese restaurant. Menu includes a section of vegetarian dishes. Has vegan wines listed. Reported closed July 2023.
Ngon's has amazing food (one of my favorite places before I went vegan), but they need to offer more vegan options. Recently we wanted to have food from Ngon's for a family dinner, but with 4 vegans in the group there needed to be several options for us. There just isn't enough on the menu that is vegan to bring us in for a meal. Great chefs should have no problem making great vegan food. Why is Ngon's not stepping up to the challenge?
Ngon has great ambience and service. It's a good place to take a date.
I wasn't completely floored by the food, though. I ordered a tofu dish that was overly simple and extremely small in terms of portion size (maybe 15 bites at most). But it cost $10, which was excessive, especially for lunch.
If they added a few more vegan menus, increased their portion sizes and jazzed up the food a little, this would be a gem of a Vietnamese restaurant. As of right now, it's pretty decent, but falls short of its potential.

Delicious food, few veggie options - Edit
Lovely atmosphere but few veggie options. I like going here in the summer for their veggie noodle dishes.
