Senior Cat Sanctuary

Lovely, authentic place. The staff is super super friendly! They're definitely willing to put in effort. The food is great, all vegan, and to make it all even better they have three super friendly cats! They're old lads, 7,8 and 11 years old respectively, but can be really cuddly.

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Cats!

Cons: Small selection, Non-english speaking staff

Fantastic place

Extremely cheap for Ho Chi Minh. 15k for a Banh Mi at the time of writing.
I went several times on my stay and tried everything on the short menu (Banh Mi, Samosa, Spring roll, vegan Chey) and everything was great! The Chey was was extremely filling.
It is slightly hard to find as there was no cart when I went, once at the point google maps takes you too, go down the alley and you will be met by the friendly owners and invited into their home which has only 3 small tables.

Pros: cheap, tasty, friendly, cosy

Cons: a little hard to find

Not the best

We did not love the sandwich. The pate was not our taste and there was a fake ham that we didn't care for either.

Great authentic place

This place is run by a local family who are all vegan (including the children) they run this eatery out of their house and when we went, you could either eat in the front of their house, which is down the alleyway off the main road (around their 2 cats and giggly young daughter) or out on the main street.
The banh mi tasted great, aswell as the samosa and spring roll.
They don't speak much English but were very friendly and do know the words "everything is vegan!" Haha.
I will definitely be coming back here a lot. Just 15k for a banh mi filled with flavour, 10k a samosa and 5k a spring roll.
This place is the most genuine vegan alternative of local Vietnamese street food i have seen so far.

Pros: Very cheap, Genuinely local , Tasty food

Cons: Closes at 7pm (would love if it was open until lat, Just 4 items on the menu

Lovely food

I really like this place! First of all it is super local and not touristy, so it is also super cheap! The banh mi was only 15k!! I really liked it :)

Hidden gem!

What a lovely little food stall that sells mock meat banh mi - the banh mi was crispy and the flavours were great. This stall also sells delicious deep fried spring rolls and savoury donuts, and the dipping sauce went well with them both. Would recommend for some of the best vegan banh mi in Hanoi!

It's located in an alley off the main road, look for the an Chay sign and it's the alley on the right of it!

Pros: great banh mi that isn't tofu for once!, cheap, authentic

Cons: can be tricky to find but worth a visit for sure!

vietnam vegan street food

Good place to try Vietnam vegan food. Banh mi is super cheap and tasty. My sister and I often have pillow cake and lotus seed sweet gruel as well whenever we go there.

A MUST DO FOR VEGANS IN HANOI!

We rocked up to this place for lunch and the reviews and 5 stars do not lie! This place was incredible! Slightly confused whether we were actually in the right spot or not, we looked around until a lady came and handed us some menus and pulled out some plastic chairs for us to sit on near the side of the street. The food was so good! We had 3 of the Banh Mi, samosas and spring rolls! We regretted not getting more as when we went back to get more the next day (Saturday) unfortunately it was closed.

Pros: Very Cheap, Authentic, Delicious

Cons: Not completely obvious to find, Closed on weekends, We didn't buy more!!!

cheap and good!

The woman running this vegan banh mi stand is wonderful. The sandwich was pretty swell, even though I'm not generally a mock meat person. Also she sells her spring rolls individually for 5k VND so that's a good deal. And I definitely recommend adding that chili sauce to your sandwich as it was *kisses to the heavens* FIRE.

Best banh mi, lovely owner. A MUST TRY PLACE!

I believe this place should get supported by every vegan travelers to Hanoi. While it's really hard to find all vegan, hygienic street food here in Hanoi, this little vegan food stall is very clean, owned by a vegan family as well as has the most delicious food. We had everything on the menu which was all delicious and had one more banh mi take away to eat on the way back to the hotel :) it's really that good!

Pros: very clean, fresh and run by lovely people

Look hard to find it

We missed this place a couple of times when trying to find it due to the building work nearby. However someone directed down the alley to where we could sit.
The food was amazing and I am only sorry we could not eat there more when we were in Vietnam.
The prices were good for the amount of food provided, and you can fill yourself up so easily.
The mixed bean desserts were interesting to say the least!

Pros: excellent street food

Cons: A little hard to find

A cute little vegan stall in the city centre. We had a great talk with the owner today too, his whole family is vegan. They make entirely homemade, vegan and fresh foods. Will be back soon!

Look for Báhn Gôi Chay sign

Seating is on the street. The kitchen is down the alleyway. The bahn mi was delicious and 30,000 dong for two.

amazing and so cheap!

Such an amazing meal and so cheap. My husband had the little vegan Pattie type dish and said it was delicious. We also both had a banh mi each which was really good, the whole thing cost us about £1.30. Would be good for lunch or even an early dinner with a few of the sides. The sign talks about the stall now being down an alley, but the guy was actually in front of that sign and not down an alley.. maybe they are moving??

Pros: cheap, delicious, opportunity to try Vietnamese st

Cons: not particularly fancy

great food, great service

Don't understand the people saying it's not all healthy food here - vegan food doesn't have to be and the fried spring rolls are delicious! Plenty of healthy veg options available, but don't miss the beef pho or mushroom clay pot rice

Pros: all vegan, great servive, easy to find

Cons: not as cheap as some

Best bánh my ever!

Ate lunch here 3 times. Absolutely delicious and packed full. A nice change to the egg or cheese options you're usually restricted to.

Yummy vegan street food

In a small alley (at the green fence) you will find a few tiny chairs and a menu consisting of vegan banh mi (sandwich filled with mushrooms, cucumber, tomatoes etc), pillow donuts (a sort of samosa), fried spring rolls and a variety of chè (Vietnamese dessert soup). My boyfriend and I had some of everything except for the spring rolls, and it was delicious! Perfect as a lunch or snack. Plus everything was very cheap - and fully vegan! Love it :)

Pros: Yummy vegan street food, Inexpensive

Cons: Little hard to find
