Bad luck, no!  I have problems in steak houses, not chinese restaurants!
In almost any chinese restaurant:

	1. Moo Shee (a.k.a. Moo Shoo) Egg  (my favorite)
	   If it's not on the menu, ask for Moo Shoo Pork without the pork.
	2. Egg Foo Yung.
	3. Cashew Broccoli.
	4. Spicy Green Beans (hold the pork and shrimp!)

I never eat the soups, though, or dishes in thick sauces since they
are generally made with chicken stock.

You might check out the Seven Seas chinese rest. in Palo Alto.
Somewhat tacky, but they do have about a page of vegetarian dishes.
I've had Moo Shoo Egg at Chef Chu's which is a few blocks away from you.
Veggie Foods (completely vegetarian chinese rest.) on Clement St.
in S.F. is tops.
