Must visit in Hanoi - Edit
Holy this place is delicious! Everything is made in house. I wish we found it sooner so we could eat more of their food! The tofu Krab noodles are a delicious flavourful bowl (dearly missing the flavourful broths while in the north). The Bahn mi was middle of the pack of all the vegan ones we tried in Vietnam.

Cozy place, friendly staff, nice food - Edit
Bao An Vegan Street Food is a small, friendly Vietnamese restaurant serving tasty vegan food. It's a nice, cozy place to eat. They have great banh mi, noodles and snacks. The noodles with peanut sauce are really good!
Read moreThe family who runs the restaurant wants to promote veganism in Vietnam, specifically focusing on affordable street food. They have information around the restaurant about healthy plant-based eating and even vegan egg substitutes.
Just remember they close at 7 pm, so check before you go.

This is why traveling is awesome - Edit
A very quaint little restaurant nestled in an alley serving local dishes at local prices.
Read moreThis is exactly the kind of spots we are searching for while traveling.
The price make sense for the kind of little nook it is while the food taste authentic.
We tried a soup, a banh mi, and fried spring rolls. Everything was good, but the rolls were the highlight for sure.
Clearly worth a visit if you're in the area.
Highly recommended 👌

Fantastic - Edit
A lovely spot, top rated for good reason. Krab noodles and mixed noodles were incredible, so cheap (35k each) and the family running it is lovely. Make the effort and support the VG team here in Hanoi!

Best Banh Mi in town! - Edit
Cozy little place hidden in a side alley. Food here is always fresh, I ate many Banh Mi Chay all over Vietnam and the ones they make here are top 3 for sure! Check it out!

Bread - Edit
I was looking forward to try but, the bread wasn’t good at all, which kind of ruined the meal. I tried a mix banh mi, the filling was good though so I hope I just hd a bad batch of bread

cute restaurant, the food is very good (I would say best bánh mì I ate in Hanoi). It is a bit hidden, feels like entering a backyard

Good - Edit
We had one banh mi with mushrooms and one with tofu. The banh mi was good but I didn't like how the bread was toasted and it was a little plain - just personal preference though.

The Ban Mi was excellent and especially the mixed filling one. It was too hot for soup or noodles unfortunately.

Yummy - Edit
The shop is really cute and philosophically vegan, as well as being authentic street food. The protein banh mi was really yum, it has soy meat, mayo and pate.

A true vegan place! - Edit
So nice to eat at a place where they care about the vegan ideology. Interesting choices on the menu – the pillow dumplings were great! I also had the tofu balls bahn mi, which was just okay.

Good Pho - Edit
Good Phos, in a small and quiet alley. The story of how they turned their shop vegan and lost almost all their clients overnight is touching. Nice staff and good prices. They can give you filtered water if you have your own recipient.

A gem - Edit
Lovely owners, tasty food. Got the mixed bahn mi and I’ve forgotten the name of the other dish but both were so good. My non vegan partner won’t stop saying how much he loved this place. It feels like a friend has cooked you dinner and you’re just set up in their home enjoying a fab meal.

Ethical and authentic delicious Vietnamese food owned by a vegan family - Edit
We had 2 banh mi's - falafel and protein and the dumplings. Both delicious with homemade mayo. Their menu consists of the classics Banh Mi's, spring rolls and Phos but with lots of varieties.
Read moreWe loved reading all of the little notes on the walls and their ethos as a genuine vegan family running a small business. They lost income by turning their business vegan but still stuck to their ethics so a lot of respect for that!
The food was delicious and super affordable. The place is a little out of the way down an alleyway and just has two little tables. Ethical businesses like this deserve all the support they can get, we will definitely be back to try more!
