Nhà Hàng Chay KIM SA - Chi Nhánh Phan Đăng Lưu (KIM SA Vegetarian Restaurant) — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

We came here for lunch and was seated immediately, though our seat on the ground floor could have used a bit more space (not sure if they have an upstair seating area).

Got delivery for a late lunch and was generally pleased with the food. The egg rolled with seafood (more of a cut-up omelet, actually) was delicious and was perfect with the fresh carrots, cabbage, and cucumber on the side. The egg rolls were good but nothing special. It took quite a while for...
