Can I give Vegan Banh Mi more than 5 stars? Coz I'd like to.
My boyfriend and I discovered this place about 3 months ago, and have gone every week since. It is my favourite spot in Hanoi, delivering something really special and for such a cheap price. The family who run it are generous and kind, and their little kids are the cutest around. We always get the seitan rolls and a few pillows, the vegan mayo and pate really make the banh mi and we always put a big sploosh of the GARLIC infused vinegar/sauce into everything. They also have begun making different noodle dishes and even pho! They have a little stall outside now which is great. I personally can't fault it, it's original yet authentic. It's comforting and the only one of it's kind in Hanoi!

Pros: The family who run it💗so sweet, TASTE! , Price

Cons: I don't live there?

4.5 stars! The seitan banh mi is better than the "meat" one in my opinion😄it's good, I'll definitely be back for more! ♡

Hi Ninscha!
We are sorry for causing you the inconvenience, as well as your time to go to our place. Once we decided to close our place, due to Covid-19, we tried to update our opening hours on HappyCow immediately. But it took HappyCow 7 days to approve the update so we couldn’t inform you and other customers earlier. Hope for your understanding and our apologies for making you traveled.

Loved it

Lovely people, amazing and cheap food. I’d love to eat here every day. I chose the seitan banh mi, fried spring rolls and pillow doughnut, amazing! I took food to go as well. Best food in Vietnam. The owners children make signs for veganism inside which is beautiful to see. Service is quick. Slightly hidden down an ally, but a woman there seemed to know what I was looking for.

If I’m ever in Hanoi I’d go back.

Pros: All vegan , Lovely people , Cheap

Definitely worth trying

Was very curious to try the food after reading all the reviews— food did not disappoint! I chose the pillow donut & original seitan Banh mi— both very good.

Address first brought me to a different alley next door. But walking on the main sidewalk the food stall was well marked with a sign, and locals were helpful in guiding you in the right direction. Glad I ended up finding it and hope to come back a second time!

Pros: Good prices , friendly staff, quick service

Cons: Limited seating

Give this place a try!

Honestly, when we turned up at this place I was very put off by the outside. It's shabby and down a little alleyway that looks like it's leading to houses... And it is but go down there and try it out. The seating area is cosy and has lots of kiddies 'go vegan' handmade posters on the wall which was very sweet!
The food is so good here! We tried both the Banhs and they were INCREDIBLE! so incredible we ordered another to take away with us. We also tried the spring rolls and pillow donut and they were nice too. All the food is so cheap! About 80p for a big baguette sandwich is so good!!

Pros: Delicious and very cheap

Cons: Shabby outside, location not great.

Hidden Gem

Don't let the outside put you off! We walked down a little shady Alley way and made our way into the little restaurant, which just looked like it was someone's house.

With some trepidation we looked through the menu, which is only small but ordered our food I tried a little bit of everything on the menu.

Our Bahns came and we immediately knew we had made the right choice, delicious! We started to look around the room to see all the pictures and drawings made by the children in the house "animals aren't food" signs. Even the sign not asking for a tip, just for some nice words on here and trip advisor and we realised we had stumbled onto a lovely wholesome little hidden gem.

To top it all off it was amazing value for money we spent 80000VND and I had nearly everything on the menu for that!

Pros: Price, Small family run, Authentic

Cons: Not much choice, Not aesthetically pleasing

Delicious veggie banh mi

Had the first banh mi of the menu and a pillow donut and both were very yummy! 20k VDN for a banh mi and 10k VDN for the pillow donut (samosa like). It’s a super small street food store and you need to go in the small alley to find it. Worth walking 20 min from my hotel to get it. 🙂

Pros: Vegan, Cheap

Great banh mi!

Super small place hidden in an alley but crowded with the local business people for lunch. That’s a good sign, isn’t it! And the food is delicious. One of the best banh mi since middle/south of Vietnam!

Good vegan street food

Authentic street food in the vegan version! Family restaurant with a small space to eat (traditional vietnamese house), you can also order to take away. Delicious banh mi and other street food delicacies. They open 11am - 7pm, closed Saturday, Sunday and national holidays.

Pros: Very good food, Family owner very friendly

So tasty!

I ordered everything on the menu in one go (didn’t even amount to 100k!). Most to take away in a sustainable recycled packaging and no plastic. Love the tastes, the coziness, the hardworking young family! The little girl (their daughter) is so smart and friendly, she’ll help you translate between English and Vietnamese.

It’s located inside a small side street. From the front, if you’re standing in front of the sign “Vegan banh mi”, just walk into the alley for about 20-30m.

Pros: Only tasty vegan food!, Very quickly made, Cheap

Very good food, super nice family

I tried the vegan banh mi with seitan today and it was very good. You have to cross the gate from the street to find this hidden gem. The big red and yellow sign (vegan banh mi) will guide you. Highly recommended!

Tasty, budget banh mi

Quick service, delicious fresh banh mi. The meat replacement had a good texture and wasn’t off-puttingly meaty. The sandwich was stuffed with plenty of fresh herbs and chilli sauce was available.

Pros: All vegan , Total bargain , Kind service

Delicioso

Excelente lugar, la comida muy sabrosa, fue una sorpresa dado que no es un restaurante clásico, pero si inserto en un contexto cultural determinado. Puedes comer con tranquilidad porque todo es vegano, y a veces es difícil darse a entender por la barrera del idioma, en general el inglés no lo manejen muy bien al menos según nuestra experiencia en Hanoi

Pros: Muy sabroso , Barato, Atención rápida

Really great!

Run by 100% vegan family, really tasty for great price. They are friendly and welcoming even when it's very busy. Have come back many times to eat again since finding this place. Also the banh mi are great to take away for a tasty snack later! Would definitely recommend!
