Where to get vegetarian Vietnamese food

Pho Grand - I have never had something I didn't enjoy here.  It's hard to go wrong with the vegetarian special, but it's low on veggies and high on seitan.  If you want more green vegetables, I recommend the Chinese broccoli plus tofu for protein.  Or the tofu in tomato sauce plus chinese broccoli for green.  Those are two of their more unique dishes.  All of the other vegetarian dishes are good too, but not too different from other places.  I usually get a rice dish here because they use the ever so delicate broken rice. I do not recommend the tofu lettuce wraps.  Too salty and too much of it.   There is never tofu in the spring rolls here, just noodles and herbs.  There is fish sauce in the spring roll sauce.

Lemongrass - If you've never had it before, you have to try the sesame tofu.  It's these tofu stuffed (to me) donuts, with a pile of steamed broccoli and sesame sauce.  It's a little fried fatty and a little sweet, but there is something really addictive about it, and I've often seen an order headed to every table in the place.  To balance out the sugar and oil, I love to get the char-grilled eggplant.  It's extremely light with a delicious vinagrette you pour on yourself.  My other favorite dish here is the vegetarian hot and sour soup.  Not only does it contain a really yummy vegetable that I've never seen ANYWHERE else, but they serve it in a hot pot, which has a burning piece of char coal in the center, and keeps the soup hot indefinitely, which is good because it takes forever and a day to eat it all.  The spring rolls do have tofu in them here.

Banh Mi Soh (#1 Sandwich) - An elderly husband and wife run this place by themselves, and don't cook any of your food until you order it.  So it is fresh as can be, but be forewarned that it takes a long time.  Bring a book or a chatty friend.  As the name says, they have the best banh mi sandwiches, though they don't have a lot of competition it seems.  Definitely pay the extra for "double tofu" because you can barely even see it with the normal amount.  I personally don't think the sandwich is complete without raw jalepenos and cilantro, but if you can't handle it you can't handle it.  They also have a neon sign that says "best spring rolls in St. Louis," and it is absolutely true.  There is a chalk board with specials on it.  I usually think these are more interesting than what is on the printed menu.  If you are lucky the chalkboard will mention the mung bean spring rolls.  Order them and savour the awesome crunchy/soft battle in your mouth.

Bobo Noodle House - This place is more of a slick pan-Asian joint.  But it is also the only place in town that I know has a meatless Pho soup.  It's really spicy, something I find it hard to come by in this town.  Crispy spring rolls too!
