vegetables from Cha-Ya Restaurant

…is where I am having dinner tonight before heading back to L.A. – my favorite place to eat in the Bay Area (762 Valencia St.@ 19th Street in the Mission, but there is also one in Berkeley), everything is so fresh and beautifully presented, and being vegan I become completely overwhelmed by the six page menu describing all of the amazing things I can  order – today it’s vegetables with buckwheat soba noodles in a really thick curry broth.
