You might want to look into Purple Yam. Its food is very interesting , the place is stylish and while there is a lot of delicious meat they do have enuf choices for a vegetarian to have an enjoyable meal.

We havent visited Applewood, but weve vetted it in the past for veg choices and they were adequate.

Calling it pan-asian does it an injustice- the Filipino owners ran Cendrillion in Manhattan for many years before setting up in Brooklyn , their filipino dishes are refined and delicious, and with the addition of korean dishes, and a certain amount of experimentation, there is quite a range to tastes to experience. I particularly liked their sisig, porky shreds on a sizzling platter. The dishes are moderately sized but I though the price was reasonable for the cuisine and the very pleasant experience (the room is very attractively decorated, too, with a back garden.
