Why it matters
Why Khanh Ly Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time
A counter where local diners eat vegetarian food gives a better picture of everyday Duong Dong than a resort menu. On an island where fish sauce is in so much cooking, a restaurant that serves only meat-free plates removes most of the guesswork.
It works well as a quick, inexpensive stop before or after the Cao Dai temple area or a walk to the night market. It will not offer a quiet, seated dinner, so decide whether you want a fast lunch or a calmer meal elsewhere, and confirm hours before you go.

How to experience it
You choose from the counter, so look at the trays first and point to what you want. Vietnam Discovery describes plates of rice with mock meats, tofu and vegetables, and a noodle menu as well. A dish made from tofu and carrot is called out as a specialty.
The article notes the mock meats are mostly gluten-based, so anyone avoiding gluten should ask. It also says the place is popular with locals and can be busy and loud, so a mid-morning or mid-afternoon visit is calmer.
HappyCow lists the restaurant as vegan, and Vietnam Discovery calls it vegetarian. We could not confirm every sauce and stock, so if you avoid onion or garlic for Jain reasons, ask at the counter before you eat. Prices were not stated precisely, so check before you fill a plate.
Plan with confidence
