Lovely family

Got there at the end of the day and was hoping to get a bahn mi (plus one for the train). Though they were out of the bread, I did get the last of some fried spring rolls (plus some for the train). Really lovely family, they even gave me some bananas for breakfast on the train. "We have sooooo many bananas!" the 5 y.o. told me before offering them up.

Pros: Great family, Cheap and yum, Real local feel

Best Food and Company in Hanoi!

What an incredible place! The food is excellent and, what is more, the company is the best you will have for your whole trip in Vietnam. The place is run by a vegan buddhist family so I got to sit and talk with their daughter, De, and talk about Canada, the snow, and the « duck song » (the one who waddles away because the lemonade stand doesn’t have grapes) while I had my last dinner in Vietnam. It was the highlight of my trip! I highly encourage going there and trying out what they have to offer and putting in a big order :). Also, be sure to ask your air bnb or wherever you are staying to add them to their lists of vegan recommendations in town!

Pros: Purely vegan, Great company!, The kids are completely fluent in English!

Worth the trek

Small establishment in an alley about a 20 minute walk from the main old quarter area. I arrived probably around noon or 12:30, and was promptly greeted. Unfortunately, by that time all items were sold out except for two banh mi options. I had the "meatless banh mi" and it was tasty--the veggies were fresh, the faux meat was seasoned well, and the vegan mayo was nice. The other patrons seemed to be local workers on their lunch break, so I take that as a good sign! It was only 23K which was very reasonable considering how good quality it was.

Great vegan banh my

Great banh my @ very good price (less than USD1). The owners are a very nice Buddhist couple.

You can also choose vegan pillow cake or spring roll, but might not be as impressive as the banh my itself

Pros: Low price , Great food quality, Offer free delivery service within 2km

Cons: Quite small restaurant

Banh mi

Pour déguster un Banh mi vegan sur le pouce, voilà un coin à explorer. Dans une impasse, on se pose dans un coin de salon pour tester et apprécier le fameux sandwich version vegan. Attention à ne pas arriver trop tard car cela ferme tôt et le stock est limité.

Pros: Vegan, Très bon marché

Excellent

Juste un conseil, n’y allez pas trop tard, malheureusement pour nous, nous sommes arrivés à 18h45 et il ne restait que 2 ban my...juste assez pour goûter et nous donner l’envie d’y retourner!! Une famille absolument charmante et une cuisine de rue excellente et 100% Vegan 😃

Great food and lovely family

I was happy to be able to try the famous vietnamese streetfood and it was very much worth it. Especially the banh mi’s were flavourful, as well as the spring rolls. We were kindly greeted by the nice family who runs it and talked to the kids while waiting for our food. Thank you!

Pros: Vegan Streetfood, Good taste, Heartwarming family

Local. Affordable. Good.

Perfect place to enjoy a super local, vegan and affordable dish. Family-owned, everything is cooked on demand and you can see they are cooking with passion. I really love this meal, especially the dumplings.

Pros: Family-owned , Affordable , Local

Best Banh Mi in Hanoi

Very delicious vegan banh mi.
You have the choice between high protein or seitan, served with veggie pattie, cucumber, coriander and either pumpkin sauce or vegan mayonnaise.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Friendly place

Completely vegan. Might be hard to see where it's located. But a friendly lady thought that we looked vegan and pointed us in to the small alleyway.
Cheap, and tasty.

So happy I gave it a try

I love how crunchy the banh mi is and it also tastes delicious. This is the closest thing to our traditional Vietnamese banh mi.

Pros: Good for a quick meal, Delicious vegan Vietnamese food

Cons: Most dessert items are not always available

Loved it!

So happy I was around when here was open, I made the most of it and tried everything!

The original Banh mi was amazing, I wanted another as soon as I had finished it. Nice to have the mushroom pate too and something other than tofu as the veggie option.

The spring rolls and samosa pillow thing you must also try. The dip is lovely.

I wanted to try a dessert too, I think it was the lotus one I had (middle bottom of the menu). I liked it, wasn’t too sweet and the gloopy texture was interesting.

Pros: So tasty, Nice family, Simple, small

Cons: Wish they were open later and on weekends!

Delicious sandwiches

One of the best banh mi I have ever had! Kept going back during my stay in Hanoi. I tried the original banh mi, Vietnamese samosa, fried spring rolls and lotus seed che and loved every single dish. This family run restaurant is off the main road, google maps should get you to the right location. There is a sign on the main road indicating where the restaurant is. The staff are very friendly.

Pros: Delicious, Inexpensive , All vegan

Cons: A little difficult to find

Amazing banh mí!

You should definitely make an effort to visit here, it is easy to miss & walk past as it is down an alleyway.
The vegan banh mí with tempeh and tofu was absolutely delicious! I only wish it was open at the weekends too as I only had the opportunity to go once!

Oké for the price

I had the protein banh mi and the pillow donut. The Banh mi was a bit disappointing. There wasn't that much stuff in it, and the seitan was hard and difficult to chew. The herb saus and vegetable pate on the bread was really nice though. The Pillow donut was really nice. Especially with the little cucumber dipping saus they brought with it. When I was there they didn't have the deserts.
