Khanh Ly is a simple, local-style vegetarian eatery on Nguyen Trai Street in central Duong Dong. Far from tourist prices, it serves Vietnamese home-style vegetarian food: stir-fried vegetables, braised mushrooms and mock meats made from soy, wheat gluten and mushrooms, eaten with rice.
It is loved by locals and travellers alike for its value, and is convenient for a quick meal during a day in town.
