Hi. Any place in Vietnam I can find cheap vegetarian food?

Yes, many! Off Vo Van Tan (in the first alley after the corner of Cao Thang), there is a place called Saigon Vegan. Depending on what you mean by "cheap" this is the best of the best. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the world. On Vuong Chuoi (district 3, small road linking Dien Bien Phu and Nguyen Dinh Chu) there's 2 good cheap Com Chay places. Ngoc Tho is a great place in district 1 right off Pham Ngu Lao in one of the bigger alleys. Good luck!

Be aware:
1. A lot of the dishes are full of MSG and (vegetarian) fat, so not necessarily healthy.
2. Avoid those restaurants during the beginning and middle of the LUNAR months, since they are full of Vietnamese. IT is a common practice to some Vietnamese to eat vegetarian meals during those days.

Is there any vegetarian group in Expat.com ? We can share information about vegetarian things. It's not easy for me to find a good vegetarian food.
