Duy's Vegetarian Cafe runs an entirely vegetarian Vietnamese menu out of Alief, with a plant-based bun bo hue that has become the dish regulars mention first. Service moves quick without feeling rushed, prices stay on the low end, and the room has built a following that extends well past the vegetarian crowd it was built for.
It reads as a neighborhood spot rather than a destination, but that's part of its identity: consistent food, fair prices, and a menu that makes the case for meatless Vietnamese cooking on its own terms.
