Vegan evidence

Prior assistant San Rafael tracker suggestions dated April 8, 2026. No visit confirmed. Current vegan service and exact identity require verification. Baseline 2026-09-11: Official menu marks curry puffs vegan. It does not mark the adjacent tofu/vegetable choices equivalently; do not extrapolate to soups or stir-fries. Peanut sauce is served with the puffs and may be a texture mismatch. Historical San Rafael handoff received 2026-09-18 (Pasted text(20260918-170924).txt; source libfile_d3f78868ae7081918e277bf4db4ccf2c). Original research/check dates and direct links were absent. Assistant assessments are not user visit or taste feedback. Handoff claim (historical, not independently established by this import): Historical specialist: family-owned by three sisters, curry puffs, tofu rolls, tofu todd and vegetable stir-fries. Qualification queue: Official vegan curry-puff label does not establish all tofu dishes; check fish sauce, shrimp paste and broth. Avoid creamy peanut-sauce-led recommendations. 2026-09-18 primary check: https://www.laoskitchensanrafael.com/menu explicitly labels curry puffs vegan (taro, potato, corn, peas, onion and curry; cucumber and peanut sauce). Tofu Todd and fresh rolls are not equivalent explicit vegan evidence. Khao Piak Sen lists organic chicken broth even with tofu: do not qualify by tofu selection. https://www.laoskitchensanrafael.com/ identifies three sisters/family ownership, 887 4th St and posted hours; relationship quality untested.

Curry puffs explicitly vegan Recorded research; limitations are retained above.
