Additional info
The noodle soup here is made with vegetable stock
This branch lists a Veggie Tofu Rice Noodle Soup (281) described as a slow-simmered vegetable stock, and puts it on its vegan list. That is a different dish from the Veggie Tofu Rice Noodle Pho (202) at the Fred Wilson branch, whose description names beef broth. Order by the number if you can.
Four tofu dishes sit on the vegetarian list only
The clay pot tofu, curry tofu, pan fried tofu cubes and the soft or crispy noodle with tofu appear under the vegetarian heading but not the vegan one. Nothing I found says what keeps them off it, and two of them carry no description at all. Ask before you assume.
Peanut sauce on the spring rolls
The veggie tofu spring roll is on the restaurant's vegan list and is served with peanut sauce. Vietnamese peanut sauces are sometimes built on fish sauce or hoisin. The restaurant lists the dish as vegan; I have not asked what goes into the sauce.
