I was in San Francisco this weekend for a newspaper conference. I love visiting San Francisco because I know they’ll have some good vegan restaurants for me to check out. I ended up at a fabulous vegan restaurant called Golden Era located on 572 O’Farrell Street, which serves vegetarian and vegan, award-winning Vietnamese fare. Here’s the link: http://www.goldeneravegetarian.com/
One nice thing about this restaurant is you are given the option of having your meal prepared vegan or vegetarian. And the food is sooooo good. I went with one of my co-workers who had never had vegan “meat” before and he was blown away by how delicious it was. The service was good. And we showed up around 8:45 and they closed at 9, but they didn’t try to kick us out- we took our sweet time and they were quite generous. And it’s very reasonably priced.
So if you’re in SF, go check it out! You shan’t be disappointed.

I hear so much about the vegan restaurants in SF. Here in Kansas City, we now have two places to go – one is all vegan and the other is mostly vegan.

It’s true. I was the carnivorous co-worker who did indeed enjoy Golden Era’s faux-chicken. I don’t know what the hell it was but it was deelicious! I’ve had many tofu-bastardized faux-meats and have been not displeased but not either impressed with these options as a meat alternative. But, whatever they used for their “chicken” was just like chicken in taste and texture (and without parents!). Very impressive.
