Peanuts
Description
Peanuts sits just outside the old town proper, which keeps the prices lower and the crowds thinner. The menu does vegan versions of crowd-pleasers – orange chicken, pad thai, banh mi, eggplant stew – and most of them actually taste like the real thing rather than sad substitutes. The sourdough banh mi and the soy-lime balls are the two things people seem to order twice in the same day.
