Restaurants- Central Virginia continued

I cannot mention Central Virginia without giving another shout out to Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Williamsburg..

Richmond:

China Panda is a class in and of itself. They have three locations in the metro Richmond area (even though when I was there, it was only 2; so they must be doing well). The main location at 616 N Sheppard St in downtown is an enigma. On first glance it looks like a dive restaurant, dirty, etc.. but the food is unbelievably fresh and tasty. It is vegan Chinese and rivals that of Ming Dynasty in C'Ville. The sauces are great, they have veggie chicken and beef and seafood, and the people are friendly. I really enjoyed their Sesame Vegetarian Chicken. As far as I remember, the other site in southern Richmond (10020 Robious Rd) has the same menu and vegan options. A definite must for any vegan in Richmond, or anyone traveling through the area.

Fredericksburg:

Bangkok Cafe is a great Thai place in Downtown, located at 825 Caroline St. This is the first place my brother Josh actually got some food that was TOO spicy for him (he LOVES things 'as spicy as possible'. They have good fried tofu as an appetizer and several good entrees. They will substitute tofu for meat in any dish and leave out fish sauce. The Eggplant with Tofu and Basil was phenomenal. http://www.bangkokcafeva.com/

Sammy T's is a staple in F'Burg and is located in the Historic Caroline St area, at 801 Caroline St. It is a great outing for all involved and they have a TON of vegetarian options. They have a Black Bean Cake appetizer and several soups that are vegan. They have two veggie burgers, one is actually a Tempeh Burger. A couple veggie sandwiches and a great Bean Burrito add to the great menu. They also have a falafel sandiwch. Anytime you are in Fredericksburg, check this place out! www.sammyts.com

Williamsburg: This place is terrible for vegetarians. You have to go to Hampton to find some good Asian food or to Richmond for their great options.
