Absolutely delicious with amazing service 💛 - Edit
We loved our meal at Be An Vegetarian Café. Everything we tried was super delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food came out really fast, too, which was a nice bonus.
Read moreWe ordered the fried tofu appetizer, the tomato-based soup and a mushroom dish. Our absolute favorite was the fried tofu—perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The tomato soup was also a standout and something we’d definitely come back for.
Since we had a reservation, they surprised us with free garlic bread and at the end of the meal they gave us a refreshing exit drink of kombucha. We also tried a few different drinks, all of which were really good.
Such a great experience overall—we would 100% come back!

Sophisticated upmarket, modern, health conscious vegetarian/vegan menu. Stylish, tranquil & filled with greenery. Relaxing ambiance. Very busy though never felt over-crowded. My favourite Ho Chi Minh restaurant. Highly recommended

Pros: Modern, Great price for top food, Tasty
Cons: Fairly small bowl of sticky rice, Nothing , Nothing

Freaking delicious - Edit
I did not realize that it would be pretty challenging to find vegan dishes here. But I stumbled upon Be An and they had all vegan and veggie options. They even had green juices and kombucha. The food was amazing!!! I would post a pic if it let me.

Yeah very difficult to find vegan places in a city with literally thousands. Which district are you staying in? It’s almost like this is a fake review.

Nice option in the city - Edit
I enjoyed the food here, even though it is on the pricier side compared with others in HCMC. We had: the braised sausage and mushrooms (very nice! Would recommend), broken rice (which was nice), and the glass noodles with xo sauce (not enough sauce 😞). Overall, I was happy with the food and the ambience inside, I would probably rate about a 4.5 ⭐. I enjoyed the jasmine boba too! But not the option 4 (can't remember the name)

Upmarket option for HCMC - Edit
This was a more classy affair for HCMC which the prices reflected. The dishes were clearly labelled with allergens and the vegan milk teas were great

Go eat here! - Edit
1 vegan and 2 non-vegans and we all loved this place! It was one of the best meals we all had over 3 weeks of travel. The restaurant is lovely and upscale but the pricing was so reasonable (cheap to western standards, a bit above average for Vietnam).
Read morePros: Vegetarian place but lots of vegan options., Lovely decor!
Cons: Pricer than average but still comparatively cheap

Good place, expensive - Edit
The quantity of food is good. However there were barely any vegetables and mostly only mushrooms in the dish. Good thing is they mark dishes with eggs also separately in the menu for lacto-vegetarians like me, that helps. Tried the noodles which were the chef's recommendation. Pho was a bit bland. Service was quick and place had a quiet and nice vibe.
Read moreCould have added more vegetables considering it's a vegetarian restaurant.

Pricey but really good - Edit
The food was great. Pricewise it was a bit expensive, but for the location of the restaurant, the tourist hotspot, and the quality of the food it makes sense. Non-vegan ingredient use is clearly marked in the menu. Staff was friendly.

A last minute find - made our night - Edit
Looked this up on happy cow after wandering around looking for food for too long. It knocked our socks off in a good way. Hidden away a little bit but worth the stop if you're in the area, especially to get away from the hustle and bustle. The juices were great, try the strawberry and guava.
