Friendly owner, western home vibes - 7/10 - Edit
This place really almost has a similar vibe to kind of a vegan pub in the UK, the owner is very friendly and helpful however the food lacked to me slightly, I was seeing all the other reviews and idk if something was wrong with me but maybe it just didn't suit my tastes.
Read moreFrom eating vietmamese food all the time and then switching to this maybe the juxtaposition is too much?
The pizza base wasn't as doughy and soft I would have enjoyed the toppings were good but the base dough just was too cracker like with hard bits in this was similar with the hot dog bun as well. The cheesy chips were not what I expected and didn't look the most appealing however they tasted pretty good. My shake I prefer a creamy sweet feel in the mouth and this was more smooth and pure, the brownie was more sponge than goo which is also just a preference thing.
Excellent service, homemade vibes decent food

Kieron is so so lovely! - Edit
The owner is a gem and the food is great! The location is easy get to, it’s above another business, the business downstairs very enthusiastically pointed out how to enter the venue. I had the mushroom pizza, the chocolate orange ganache and the best banter with the owner. It feels like you’ve come over to his house and you’re hanging out in his home.

Good food and friendly owner - Edit
A little bit hidden on the first floor of a building. I was welcomed by Kieron, the owner and his lovely cat sleeping. Good place if you want to try different food. Kieron is friendly and a OG Vegan and Saigonese and very frank. I like brownies and theirs are great. Cheers from the D9 guy ;)

Cosy and cute - Edit
Sometimes, you just need comforting junk food after days of noodles and banh mi! This was definitely the place to get that. The owner is charming, the cats are cute, and the food is great!
Read moreFat chunky English chips with proper Chinese chippy curry sauce, hotdogs smothered in goodness, spicy burritos with homemade flour tortillas, and a huge pizza with fantastic melty cheese. The cheesecake was yummy, too.

Thank you very much! Great meeting you two the other day. Thanks for helping the vegan community all over our planet. Hopefully see you again one day! Cheers!

Stop you must! 🙌 - Edit
Since our arrival in Saigon, we have noticed that we often read reviews, both in Happy Cow and in the Google map of Filthy Vegan. These reviews are honest and authentic without giving too much away.🤗
Read moreWe realized that it was the owner of a restaurant who went out of his way to try and promote restaurants almost every day. It was certainly worth the trip to try it.
What a surprise it was when we went to dinner that he was there, and OMG, we liked him right away! What a fun person and his restaurant is just like him.😎😃
We ordered a burger, tosties and crisp in gravy. Usually we take pictures of what we eat to put in our reviews, but we were chatting with him and were so eager to taste that we forgot to take the pictures. That's why you see his restaurant and our empty plates.🤪😅😂
Seriously, take the time to try this restaurant with western food, it's worth the detour!😍🤩
FilthyVegan.
Amazing! Thanks so much for your kind words! Lovely meeting you two too! And thanks for reviewing many other vegan restaurants here in Saigon. One big vegan family

Riquísimo!!! A Must-Visit when in Ho Chi Minh! - Edit
As someone who usually avoids Western food when in Asia, I was initially hesitant. However, after hearing so many glowing reviews from friends, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! The pizza I had was absolutely incredible - easily one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever tasted! What I loved most was how everything on the menu looked fresh and homemade.
Read moreI didn’t take a photo (as don't usually leave reviews), but the experience was so good that I had to make an exception. Will definitely be back to try more dishes from their menu! Highly recommend!
Pros: Amazing Food, Friendly Owner, Adorable Cats
Cons: A bit hard to find - so do your research first ;)
FilthyVegan.
Thanks Paula! Your kind words mean a lot to me. Happy and safe travels! Cheers!

The legend continues - Edit
We've been coming to FV and its previous iteration, the Bookworm Cafe ever since we got together. In fact we first became an official couple partly thanks to Kieron. Whilst we don't often get the chance to go back as much as we would like, we still try to whenever we visit Saigon, and his Sunday Roasts are legendary. I always order at least two dishes whenever I visit, which never ceases to amaze everyone.
Read moreKeep it coming.
Pros: The food. Pretty much all of it. , The owner, Did I mention the food?
Cons: Deserves to be located somewhere like Nguyen Hue.
FilthyVegan.
Cheers Mark! Always great meeting you. Hopefully see you soon.

Sooooo goooooooood!!!! - Edit
Tiny, cute place with a huge menu to choose from! I had a Vietnamese coffee and a brownie with custard and my boyfriend went with hot dog and chips. So delicious 🥹the owner is super nice and funny guy, gives off a bit of a Rick Gervais vibe (compliment, of course).

Thanks very much for the review and excellent rating! Yeah many people have said I sound like Ricky Gervais. Obviously he copied my humour. So I've got the voice of Gervais and the face of Homer Simpson. So lucky 🍀. Anyway happy and safe travels to you both.

Great food, lovely cats and friendly owner - Edit
Came here twice during my Ho Chi Minh stay and really enjoyed it. Cashew cheese pizza was great!
Read moreHad some trouble finding it at first because the sign was behind other people working outside and you have to go through a different shop upstairs.
One of the orange cats wants a lot of attention and might jump your chair or table. I loved it because it felt like eating at a friends house but maybe a small warning to people who dont want cats near their food.

Adding my name to the many happy customers - Edit
So..When you're noodled out and craving the familiar this place is just the ticket. We had the fish (tofu) chips and heinz beans and it really hit the spot. Huge portion (I did manage it all!) really nice guy who runs it, down to earth friendly sort you could imagine having a beer or two with.
Read moreWe went back a couple of days later for the British Breakfast and once again left very happy customers. This place rocks
