I generally avoid Asian restaurants that don't specifically advertise as vegan or Buddhist because I've received authentic food that was definitely riddled with fish sauce or some form of shrimp even though the staff reassured me it was 'veggie safe'.
I don't blame them, a lot of the food is preprepared and I'm the 1 in 100 weirdo that is asking for their most popular dish with all the delicious stuff removed.
I once got an order of pad Thai (no fish sauce, no meat, no egg) that was just oily noodles and cilantro. They even left off the peanuts, probably to be on the safe side allergy wise. I have that soap gene so the cilantro was nearly overpowering.
If I hadn't been on a date I would have just paid the bill and given the leftovers to the crazy woman that sings to pigeons down the street.
I'm not even vegetarian, seafood is one of the only things I don't eat, but I've learned I can't even trust "vegetarian" options at Asian places. I'm super cautious around Italian food as well. Unfortunately they're among my partner's favorite cuisines so we end up at them often
I'm not a fan of seaweed either, which is often the vegetarian option. It tastes like low tide to me.
