An Am Thuc Chay - Tam Ky

Phantasy is relative. On is a beautiful sit-down restaurant (fans only, no AC) with an extensive menu featuring rice, noodles, mushrooms, soups, vegetable sides, hot pot, shaking beef, and more. Compared to other vegetarian restaurants in Tam Ky, which typically offer only a rice or pasta dish for 15 to 20k, this place offers a wider variety. Prices can be as low as 25k for roasted rice (cANGm chiên), but expect to spend around 40k per person for a full meal. All dishes are well-presented and delicious. The menu is only in Vietnamese, but includes some photos. The restaurant is cleaner than most, with decorative touches like stacked cups for water, but there have been sightings of rats in the kitchen during staff breaks. However, the food appears to be freshly prepared to order, unlike cheaper alternatives where dishes may sit out all day. While most dishes are vegan, some contain dairy products or butter - look for "xào blaß" or "bwerfen" in the dish name. Showing a vegan guide in Vietnamese to the staff can be helpful, as English is not spoken. The restaurant has reliable hours and is often open when others are closed or sold out of food. It is open until 20:00 every night (while other places close at 19:00). The restaurant is popular on the 1st and 15th days of the lunar calendar, but may be closed or have limited hours the next day. Not all employees are vegetarian, so you may see them consuming non-vegetarian dishes on their breaks.
