Good

We've had stir fried veggies with rice and deep fried spring rolls.
We did not really love the spring rolls but the rest was good.
The free tea you get tasted also really nice.
All in all we were satisfied with the meal.

Vegan restaurant

So this sign for this restaurant says vegan not vegetarian. The staff do not speak English at all. They bring you complimentary tea when you sit down. They have a Banh mi stall at the front of the restaurant that I didn’t notice on the menu. The food came out quickly but it was quiet when I arrived.

I ordered 1 fresh spring roll (8k) that came with peanut sauce which was ok. 1 Dumpling (15k) that had mushroom inside, it was very tasty however they serve it to you with paper on the bottom so I peeled that off and it took the dough part away.

For a main I ordered the veg rice (55k) which was a good portion size and tasty.

I’d recommend, there’s so many options. I also got given a bracelet by a monk which was lovely, I think this is a popular spot for them.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Ok price

Cons: No English

Lots for Vegans!

Very large restaurant, mainly with locals dining. Good food with average portion size. Very large menu with lots of different options. Not much English is spoken. On the more expensive side compared to other Chay restaurants we’ve eaten in in Vietnam.

Not so good and a bit expensive

The food was okay but not great and tries too much to imitate meat (at least for me)and ended up being too "much". We had Yangzhou rice and some appetizers but didn't feel full after and the price was much higher compared to other places near by.
I came back another time and had a veggie banh bao from their shop in the street. It was really good and costed me 15k.

Pros: Different options

Cons: A bit expensive compared to other places around

Big restaurant with lots of mock meat

If you’re a mock meat lover, you should go here. Personally I found it a little too much, having ‘vegan shrimp’. Too chewy and too much like real shrimp. Hotpot was OK, but not my favourite so far.

Bit expensive and average food

The bao bun was great but the fried spring rolls were not nice at all, over-cooked and tasteless. Our mains were okay although quite salty and oily. The dishes we ordered were quite small portions too, we spent way more than usual as we were really hungry after arriving from a long bus journey, and it still wasn’t filling enough. The total was 200,000 dong when usually you can have a satisfying meal for 2 at around a quarter of that price. Staff were also a bit rude and service was slow. Preferred other veg restaurants in the area instead.

Edit: Realised they have a banh mi cart at the front so we ended up going back a couple of times to get take away banh mi. They were really good and 15k each. A different girl served us both those times and was much friendlier than the other ladies.

Pros: nice spacious restaurant, complimentary tea, was only 5 min walk from our guesthouse

Cons: small portions, expensive for what you get, staff weren’t very friendly

Great, quick food

Came here before getting a bus as it’s 5 min walk from the bus pick up/drop off. The fresh spring rolls were the best I’ve had in all vietnam! Really fresh, loaded with veggies, herbs and mock meat and served with a chilli peanut dipping sauce. Price was per roll (9k) so you don’t have to have 4/6 if you don’t want loads. We also had the ‘com dia’ which is a plate of rice, vegetables and mock meat. It was served quickly, piled high and all tasted really good (48k pp, slightly higher than usual for com dia but worth it).

They also have a menu with loads of options and cheap mock meat Banh Mi (15k). My only regret is not finding this place sooner for the summer rolls!

Pros: All vegan, Quick service, Amazing fresh spring rolls

Cons: Slightly expensive for com dia

Good food, good service

Had the pho, banana blossom salad and some steamed veg. The food was tasty, the portions was very decent.
The service was quick, they were very friendly. The slightly higher price is definitely worth it. Would say it's the best chay joint in Da Lat.

Pros: Good food, very decent portions, good service

Not the best

The main food was very bland and a little pricey. The spring rolls were really nice though. The waitress tried to take our order too soon so we asked for a couple more minutes. Then we were trying to make eye contact with her to take our order for 5-10 minutes. While some staff were just sitting on chairs. It wasn't the worst but I probably wouldn't go back.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: A little bland and pricey

Just fine

Food seemed a little bland and pricey compared to other vietnamese food we've had. Certainly not terrible though, and it's a big menu and decent sized portions.

Moins bons et plus cher

C’est le restaurant végétarien le plus cher qu’on ait visité au Vietnam et pourtant l’un des moins bon.
Cela reste bon mais moins que d’autres restaurants végétariens.
Et les serveurs n’étaient pas très joyeux.

Popular local style vegetarian restaurant

Totally vegetarian restaurant, one of my favourites in Vietnam so far. Extensive menu with very decent prices- portions are big! -and the tastiest steam buns/dumplings I've had in years. They also have a banh mi stall out front for take-aways.
Efficient team of staff even if their English is not perfect.

Pros: Wide variety of dishes and fully veg restaurant

Cons: none

awesome

we visited this restaurant everyday of 3 day trip, seemed like every food in the menu were all good even with dessert and banh mi to go. Banh bao was just ok. This restaurant is highly recommended from early morning to late evening.

Pros: delicious , cheap

Extensive menu, lots of creative mock meats

They have everything you could possibly want to try if you are a vegan and have missed out on traditional Vietnamese food. I have been there several times and most recently I had a hot pot which even had a vegan chicken's foot inside!

My favourite is the mushroom pho though.

Pros: Extensive menu, Creative mock meats

Cons: Not so healthy, Service is slow

Great food, great price, not so great staff

This place is great, their food is delicious and at a reasonable price. The only thing you need to get past is the staff. They really don't seem to like tourists, if you need anything you need to go up to a person to get noticed, this includes getting your order taken.
Tried the curry, braised mushrooms, lotus noodles, pho and Bahn mi and they were all very tasty.

good food with horrible service

Not sure what is the problem of the staff here, but the waitresses in particular are really horrible and rude. If you can tolerate their attitudes, go for the food. The food is delicious. Recommend the fresh spring rolls.

Pros: good food

Cons: rude service

Good choice

We visited both branches of the restaurant in town and preferred this location a bit more. They have an extensive menu, so with A LOT of different tofu dishes. Tried many of those, our favourite was tofu braised in black pepper sauce and the one “in the form of fish” was also interesting, although a little too salty (but noticed that’s a quite Vietnamese thing to often over “soy sauce” everything). Best are the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce tho!

Pros: Creap, Fresh spring rolls!!!

Cons: Menu too large

Large choix de plat vegan à prix très corrects, et excellents, ambiance agréable au milieu des locaux. Le service est très lent mais au moins on est sûrs de manger quelque chose de frais!

Pros: Large choix sur la carte, tout est frais !

Great selection, good food

the menu is amazing: 2 pages for breakfast only, 1 for rice dishes, 1 for soup dishes, and so on.
Had a green mango salad and the chili tofu rice. Both very good.
My wife had sautéed pakchoi with mushrooms and steamed rice, also very good.
The motto is: no meat, no fish, no alcohol.

Good choice of beverages, teas, juices.
Really good

Delicious veggie food, clean place good service

We enjoyed eating here several times at our stay in Dalat. One thing I really liked is the food is being prepared fresh and has not been lying finished in a window display all day.
They have quite a selection. Remember to order rice with the dishes that are not rice dishes and try their fresh springrolls, yum yum.

Pros: plenty of vegan options

Best Dalat vegetarian

A large menu and restaurant with local vegetarian options (there's a glass counter in front for fast take-away sandwiches, dumplings, treats, etc also)and has international food on the menu; has a small market to buy products such as instant soups, oats and cookies. Coffee was slow drip served with house complimentary tea. Staff was friendly and helpful~ The one I went to was near the backpackers hub just 5 minutes walk from the center of Dalat. I don't know the other location. This is my go to veg restaurant/pick-up in Dalat, grateful for deep fried free options here ~

Pros: economical, friendly staff, good location
