Family restaurant

Seemed to be a family running the place - a bit hard to find but once you’re there it’s lovely!

Vers & vegan

Rondom het restaurant zijn allerlei te drukke en toeristische eetplekken. Hier vind je via een leuk steegje (waar je zo aan voorbij zou lopen), vers en goed eten! Veel keuze uit Vietnamese gerechten & heel vriendelijk personeel!

Pros: Menukaart, Uiterlijk van het restaurant , Personeel

Try the Bún Riêu

The bún riêu was so fresh, and probably the best one I've had in Hanoi. I recommend coming here for that alone. If you're lucky, you might see the cute orange cat as well.

Pros: Fully vegan, Cheap

All vegan! Got food late at 9:30 pm

Almost all vegan locations in the vicinity had the kitchen closed already. Food was tasty, location is not the best, but you have tables and it’s already a plus!

Not really good :(

Hate to give a bad review for vegan restaurants but it was just not good.

Quite disappointing because there was no Vietnamese taste😒

I really didn’t like it and wouldnt recommend. The restaurant is in a small alley which is cute but the food is not worth the visit.

Simple food in the heart of the Old Quarter

This was one of the main places I went to if I was in Old Quarter, Hanoi. There is a very obvious green sign at the front that leads into a long alleyway that leads to Hem Vegan. The food here is simple and won't win any awards for presentation, but it was nice to have a place in Old Quarter where I could find vegan food. Be sure to have cash.

Good Spot

I found this calming place randomly in a busy area. Banh mi and Nem were so good.

Pros: A place to calm down with good music

Amazing Hotpot

We only got to go there once and try the hotpot, though the menu had a lot to offer I would have liked to try as well. The Thai Hotpot for two had a broth which was delicious in itself - with a lot of lemongrass and ginger - , served with different kinds of mock meat, tofu, mushrooms, beans, corn and leafy greens as well as some noodles. I particularly liked the fried tofu "skin" which would become soft when boiled in the pot as well as thr tofu which was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. By the end we were stuffed and happy. Sometimes if you are lucky there is also a cat in the restaurant.

Loved the Thai spicy hotpot

Hem Vegan is a vegan restaurant located in the Old quarter district, quite close to Hoan Kiem lake.

It's located in a small alley. Once you see the sign in front, keep walking straight until you find the restaurant.

The restaurant was busy and charging 1.5X prices on Lunar New Year eve, but food was good.

Delicious rice paper rolls. Yummy and spicy Thai hotpot, something I especially enjoyed on a chilly winter day.

Worth a visit.

Ok

When we visited most of the food wasn't available but there was an extra 30% charge because of the holidays which is fine but the food that we did get just wasn't filling and was quite bland.
FYI they don't take card payments and they don't know where any ATMs are in the city 🤦🏼‍♀️

Amazing food, good prices

We went back multiple times for their „sandwich“ to take it on trips with us because it even tastes delicious after a couple of hours.

Vegan Hot Pot

We had the vegan Hot pot for two.
The food was very good. We also tried the chinese Bun which the owner said the newly tried to create. Very yummy!
Price was very good.

The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is a bit hidden between two buildings.
Would definitely recommend and go there again.

It’s okay

When you enter it, it looks like you’re about to enter a trap 😆 you go through a very narrow, long, dark corredor before you enter the place itself. Once you’re there it’s quite nice.
My husband’s food was good, but mine (miso soup) was very VERY bland (ironically I wonder if they forgot the miso). Also there’s one drink that is not vegan, but it clearly indicates it contains honey so it’s not hidden or trying to trick you.
It is quite cheap though, it just isn’t the restaurant you should bring your non-vegan friends 😅

Pros: Very affordable, Very friendly

Cons: My dish was very bland, One drink is not vegan

The definition of a hidden gem

This food was so good that I created a account just to rate this restaurant with 5 stars. Definitely worth to visit.

So good!

A hidden little gem at the end of an alley. I had a bahn mi which was amazing, the best I’ve had since being in Vietnam
