When I am returning back home to San Francisco after traveling for a week, my body is craving delicious vegan comfort food. I grew up in a chinese restaurant so my idea of comfort food is asian cuisine. San Francisco is filled with amazing asian restaurants so I’m lucky to have found Golden Era Vegan because it is everything comfort food should be. Golden Era Vegan is a 100% plant based restaurant, specializing in vietnamese, chinese, indian and thai cuisine. They don’t use MSG, honey, eggs or dairy. Everything is 100% vegan.

Thai Iced Tea

My favorite and what I always crave and dream about is their steamed buns. (It’s not on their menu, just ask for them!) I have a thing for big steamed buns (Ha). No really I do, I went to a vegan food and beer festival in Scottsdale, Arizona and I had to have the big steamed buns. Read about it here.

Spring Rolls

Papaya Salad

Everything at Golden Era is really fresh, and made to order. If you are used to going to a chinese restaurant, they make traditional chinese restaurant dishes with soy proteins like; "Mongolian Beef" is "Spicy Mongolian Delight" and "Orange Chicken" is "Sweet Orange". And they have great tofu dishes like their Spicy Lemongrass Tofu. YUM!

Spicy Sweet Potato Curry

Vegetable Chow Fun

I really enjoy their dishes with a lot of vegetables with not too much soy proteins because the vegetables are so fresh and their sauces are really flavorful. My favorite entree is their spicy sweet potato curry because I am a huge fan of curries. Ben’s favorite is the pan fried chow fun and the Stir Fried Broccoli.

The only thing I don't recommend is walking to the restaurant. Unfortunately, Golden Era is located in the heart of the tenderloin, surrounded by homeless and drug dealers. But once you get inside the restaurant it's a completely different vibe.
