Sugar Cane Restaurant

Good restaurants serving Chinese, Vietnamese, or Thai usually have delightful vegetarian options. This is the case at Sugar Cane Restaurant in Peabody, Massachusetts, where delicious vegetarian menu items include fresh vegetarian summer rolls (with tofu and avocado, yum!), mixed vegetables, eggplant, spicy string beans, stir-fried pea pod stems, and bok choy.

(For some reason, these aren’t listed on the online menu, but I dine there often and know that these items are available–and that they’re generally very good.)

Oddly, none of these vegetarian entrees include tofu; only the summer rolls do. So I recently began asking them to add tofu to my entree orders, and they have done so happily. In fact, they are so generous with the tofu addition that I always expect them to charge a little extra, but they never do.

They are also willing to make their regular menu items vegetarian whenever possible. For example, I recently asked them to make a vegetarian version of their pad thai for me, and they did so, substituting tofu and extra vegetables for their animal-based ingredients.

Rating: Wonderful service! This small business is willing to please. Try them out!
