Western food - Edit
We loved eating here, with such a relief of changing the menu as our body was asking for western food for a bit. The owner was really funny and welcomed us explaining a bit of himself.

Proper English food - Edit
This was absolutely one of the best fish and chips I've ever had. The guy makes it himself. The texture, flavour, batter were all spot on. Friendly owner, the food came out quick, and was served with the right amount of conversation. If you're looking for a good western meal don't pass this place up!

Extensive list of Western dishes - Edit
Tons of Western dishes to choose from: pizza, hot dogs, burger, ‘fish’ n chips, pie n mash…you’re spoilt for choice!
Read moreThe restaurant is upstairs, just follow it on the map and then look for the sign to go upstairs, there was a food cart outside. Friendly and funny owner, lots of cats to cuddle and books to swap with if you want.
I had the Hawaiian pizza, some chips, a chocolate orange torte and a peach ‘Magnum’. Had just survived a 24 hour bus from Hội An so I needed a carb fest!
Pizza was great, super cheesy and great mock meat and pineapple. The choc torte was rich with a nice biscuity base and the peach ‘Magnum’ was completely original, never tasted anything like it. It was really good!

Thanks very much! Great meeting you the other day. Enjoy the rest of your travels! Cheers!

Great find! - Edit
This place was so good we went twice in our short time in Ho Chi Minh City. Kieron was a great host, very funny! The food was amazing, especially the desserts.
Read moreKeep in mind it’s tricky to find as it’s upstairs and hard to spot from the street.
Pros: Kieron the host, Food, especially desserts, The cats and relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Little tricky to find

Thanks so much! I love my desserts too. That's why I'm fat. Not because of the beer, honest.

A must go to for all Brits in Vietnam - Edit
Absolute legend of an owner has brought all the comfort foods from home over to Vietnam and they are PHENOMENAL. I had a massive Nachos plate and my friend had Pie n Mash and they were both so so good it was such a treat to get a taste of home. Above a smaller food stall so make sure to go up the stairs to this place it’s so so good. Also filthy vegan reviews a lot of other places and they’re always worth checking bc he’s very honest and we found excellent other places to eat going off his reviews!

Delicious ’filthy vegan’ burgers - Edit
A little tricky to find as it’s sign posted on a hand written board and is upstairs behind some street vendors.
Read moreOnce upstairs a very friendly and funny British fella greets you.
Food options are many & definitely very western. I chose a cold coffee with coconut condensed milk that was delicious. Daughter had the basic burger and I had the burger with facon, cashew cheese & fries…it was fantastic!! Wanted to try the desserts but too full from the burgers. Definitely recommend trying this place if you’re in HCMC
Pros: Friendless , Great taste
Cons: Location - a little tricky to find

Thanks very much for the lovely review and great rating! Very much appreciated! Great meeting you and one of your kids the other day! Happy and safe travels! Cheers!

Generous serving size, good food, not so best location though - Edit
Was with my non-vegan family who enjoyed the nachos, pizza and dessert. We're not too fond of the hotdog maybe because it was a little soft to our liking and how it's seasoned (the hotdog itself, not the 'toppings'). I love the fact that all those we tried were not overly salty nor oily yet remained flavorful. The nacho chips (pita?) as well as the pizza crust appeared to be homemade? I feel like any item from their menu is already good for 2-3 people. Not too fond of sweets but decided to try the oreo cheesecake- it was okay but would easily melt if ordered for to go. Wanted to try the Apple Pie but it was sold out already. Chocolate brownie's not too bad. As for the location, well, the store below's pretty offputting because of the amount of liquid that's thrown on the floor making it slippery. The owner of Filthy Vegan's pretty nice by the way! He's also the one who prepares and serves the food.
Read morePros: Nachos + flavor of food. Not too oily or salty, Serving size
Cons: Location, It can get a little too hot esp during summer, It's a little expensive compared to others

Imprescindible en HCMC - Edit
Hace 6 meses estubimos de vacaciones en Vietnam y todos los días que estubimos alojados en HCMC fuimos allí, era un imprescindible, lo que más mal me supo de irme de allí fue no poder seguir comiendo en el restaurante. El propietario un amor, y la comida riquísima. El local nos costó un poquito de encontrar y el primer momento cuando no lo conoces parece que te metas quien sabe donde, merece mucho la pena!

The vegan hub of HCMC - Edit
Filthy [fil-thee] adjective - foul with, characterized by, or having the nature of filth; disgustingly or completely delicious!
Read moreMy partner and I went by this place after reading all the raving reviews. We weren’t disappointed. I don’t usually have a difficult time choosing, but this menu was both huge and chock full of incredible options. The place feels a little like home, with primarily western style dishes and it does them all justice.
On top of the great food the owner is a lovely person with a great sense or humour. He’s also elevating the entire HCMC vegan scene by reviewing countless restaurants around the city and putting them on the (m)app. He and his family definitely deserve all of the patronage we can give them.
Oh, and kittens!

Such great comfort food - Edit
After a month in Vietnam it was so great to have some home comfort food at the end of the trip. I had the sausage, mash, peas and gravy (no photo because I inhaled it) and the Oreo cheesecake. Everything was great, including the cats and the owner Kieron's friendly chat.
Read moreDefinitely worth a trip, especially if you are missing British/Irish comfort foods or fancy giving them a try!!
Pros: All vegan , Friendly service , Comfort food

Thank you Clare! Great meeting you too! I love the local vegan food too, but yeah we all need a bit of comfort food every now and then. Again thanks for the review and excellent rating! Happy and safe travels! Cheers!

Just what I was looking for - Edit
This is a really great place to get vegan western food. I’ve tried two meals so far and they were both equally delicious. The owner is a great guy to hang out with as well, we spent a couple of hours just now talking about life and everything. The kittens are super cute. I’ll definitely come back later to this place again.

So glad to be back!!! - Edit
We first came to Filthy Vegan not that long after they opened in 2019 and have often talked about being able to come back one day…
Read moreIt’s taken us five years but off the plane, dump the bags at the hotel and we were back pushing delicious burgers into our faces within an hour of being back in Vietnam. So glad to still have Filthy Vegan while we’re here in Ho Chi Minh City. Great to see Kieron too, he remembered us which made catching up after all this time even better 👌🍻
Love this place, and consider it one of the biggest reasons to come to the city. Miss it and I’ll never forgive you.
PS. I forgot to take any pics of our food before smashing it in so you’ll just have to get your own 😜
Pros: The food of course!, The owners 👌👌👌

Great Western Junk Food - Edit
Kieron has a wide variety of western junk food that is deliciously vegan! It's nice to have some comfort food once in a while when traveling 🙂 We loved the veggie burrito, and drooled over the first Hawaiian vegan pizza we have had since switching vegan. Kieron is a great guy, and really making good efforts to progressing veganism and promoting other small businesses. Great find on our visit!

One of the best places for vegan junk food in HCMC - Edit
Great place to visit for some comforting Western vegan food. We love the spaghetti and burger and all the desserts were fantastic. There are hits and misses with the menu but that’s the same with every place, you just have to try for yourself and see. The owner has a great sense of humor, his sarcasm may be mistaken by some as rudeness but in our experience that is never the case. Dishes are filling and large in portion, you certainly wouldn’t get the same price for the same quantity at any other Western vegan restaurants here.
