About

Shamballa pairs Vietnamese dishes such as Hue noodles, pho, and Que Son-style cassava salad with a large, clearly marked menu that includes both vegan and non-vegan items. Fish ponds, a rooftop dining area, and attentive table service give it a polished, tranquil feel; reviewers say prices run higher than nearby chay restaurants.
