On the first day of a month in the lunar calendar, my family always visits Vi Lai restaurant as we have a tradition of eating vegetarian food. Although I don't remember where exactly it is located, I think it's around Ly Thuong Kiet street. 

The food there is excellent as the vegetables are prepared in different ways. One of my favorite appetizers is the mushroom soup which contains ingredients like chestnuts or bottom  mushrooms. It's a little bit salty, blended with a light sweetness. After that, when my family moves on to the main dish, we often order the signature salad there. The components like pickled radish, gong cai vegetable, and lotus petiole are nicely mixed with a combination of sourness and sweetness.

Another dish that I'm pretty much into is the bamboo shoot rolls there. I can see the thin slices of the bamboo shoot wrap fillings including tofu and lotus roots. When the dish is served, the fried rolls look mouth - watering and all of the members do enjoy this.

Apart from the food in this restaurant, the employees are also professional as they never let us wait for more than 2 minutes, even on their busiest day, so I do appreciate them a lot. Furthermore, when we first experienced the service, the employees gave my family a lot of useful advice on what dishes we should eat together, which is the determinant that makes me want to come back. 

Personally speaking, if anyone asks me about a place to eat vegetarian food, I will recommend Vi Lai restaurant to them as the quality is superb.
