Review of Thanh Tinh Chay Restaurant

What an incredible place! Ate here SEVEN times in six days on a recent trip to San Diego. Hardly put a dent in the 250+ menu items, but every single thing I had was marvelous, and I felt fine after every meal. Everything is gluten free and vegan, and the service is wonderful. How to navigate a menu with so many items? Just approach it with an open mind, don't over-think the concept of 'vegan meat', and get a few things that grab your attention. Even the appetizer portions are quite large, and entrees are generally more than enough for a single meal.

Some things I enjoyed: #6 Helen pancake. This was marvelous; maybe the best. #16 Sticky rice dumpling #17 Steamed rice pancake #19 Helen rice ball w/ pork belly #38 Lotus salad #41 Helen salad #58 Soft duck roll #155 Helen fried rice w/ Vietnamese sausage #169 Dan Dan noodle w/ sea bass #180 Soft sauté noodle w/ Vietnamese sausage #224 Helen spicy bread w/ salmon #238 Tofu steam buns

Also - save room for all the delightful assorted custards they have for dessert.

Needless to say, I have become something of an evangelist for Thanh Tinh Chay...
