"We were intrigued by this restaurant, as many Vietnamese establishments offer vegan options, although they often require modifications. They informed us that all of their Pho dishes were vegan and vegetarian when made with tofu and sweet broth. I was skeptical of this claim, as traditional Vietnamese cuisine typically includes ingredients like fish sauce and oyster sauce. When I inquired about these ingredients, they assured me that the dishes were vegetarian. I politely requested to speak with the chef due to my allergies. The chef explained that all of their sauces contained oyster sauce, and other noodle dishes such as pad thai contained fish sauce. I asked if these could be left out, but he replied that all the dishes were pre-prepared and could not be altered."
