Outside of hipster-skewing Allston and reliably crunchy Cambridge, the Boston area’s vegan dining options go from “lean” to “starved.” Luckily, this animal product-free sandwich shop’s Chinatown address, close to sibling biz My Thai Vegan Cafe, is in the heart of the city—so eager hands from all over town can more easily snatch deep-fried BBQ tofu and veggie curries to wash down with bubble teas. Cuong’s is cheap, flavorful and conscientious: Veg out, already.
