Restaurant help:
I have a rather specific restaurant request. We are looking for a sit-down restaurant that serves vaguely healthy food that's not just a salad. Does anyone know of any restaurants that list calorie content on their menus (even part of their menus)? Any restaurant that is simply more health conscious overall?
Bonus for multiple vegetarian options. Double bonus for T/bus accessible.

vegetarian options

[halfline.livejournal.com]

One of the best places to get vegetarian food is Allston (at the other Union Square). They have a Burmese place called Yoma that has a vegetarian menu available upon request, there's grasshopper which is a chinese place, and TJ Scallywaggles, which is a vegan pizza place. That area is a moderate walk from the green line or a short ride from harvard on the 66 bus.

There's also a vegetarian area in brookline on harvard street. There's a restaurant called "My Thai Cafe" which is a vegan thai place with good food and great bubble tea.

Perhaps more interesting for you, there is a sushi place next to it called "Genki Ya" that uses fresh organic ingredients and has two full pages of vegetarian sushi options.

Both of these places are also directly on the 66 bus line. Or they're a short walk from coolidge corner.

Another healthy restaurant is the Buddist Cultural Center in between harvard and central. They have a limited menu that primarily consists of a vegetarian "lunch special" which changes from day to day. It has these basic components though:

- Soup
- half cup brown rice
- 4 prepared vegetable dishes. Examples include steamed nappa, marinated sesame tofu, crispy steamed yuba with mushrooms and spinach, spicy tofu mushroom and edamame, steamed root vegetables.

they also have a few other side options like steamed custard buns, dumplings, savory pancakes and a moderate tea selection.

In central there is a Tibetan place on Pearl St. called Rangtzen. They have a number of healthy vegetarian options beside steamed momos (and a number of high calorie vegetarian options as well, so watch out).
