Wonderful experience - Edit
The whole experience was amazing! We ordered spring rolls, the vegan prawn in garlic sauce and the vegan tuna but were surprised when we got one dish after the other before even receiving what we've ordered. The owner just gave us tofu in tomato sauce and summer rolls for free and were even asked if we wanted more (on the house!). In the end we were so stuffed but so happy with the quality and taste of everything. The owner was a very sweet man who gave us his heartwarming story to read.

Wonderful owner and the food just keeps coming - Edit
The owner has a beautiful story as to how the restaurant came to be and how he became an entrepreneur. Please take the time to listen and read his story card.
Read moreRead the menu so you're not confused when a bunch of side dishes start coming out.
They are listed on the first page of the menu and they are all free.
You order 1 starter, 3 vegan mains which could be vegan chicken, beef, pork, sausage or seafood. We're not a fan of vegan seafood so we opted for the sausage -which was tastier than it looked lol
Overall each dish was awesome, nothing was a letdown. The server will show you how to eat everything properly so make sure to let them do what they do best.
Please keep supporting this place!

Highly Recommend This Restaurant - Edit
Fair portions with free starters. They patiently explained the foods to me.
Read moreA great ethnic option!
Owner has personal story, from a poor home and worked to get where he is today whilst giving to the community.
My wonderful local guide, Lisa, told me that the food here is like at her home so this is definitely a good place for a vegan to experience the local food cuisine and taste the style of cooking and distinctive ingredients, techniques, and dishes in Vietnam.

Great Food and Experience - Edit
The place we were looking for in Hanoi. Home cooked dishes in a Family run restaurant. We tried a few dishes and everything was wonderful. They bring you some free tofu based dishes to try out and show you how to eat it. The owner’s story and social involvement is touching and inspiring. I will go every time I am in Hanoi to enjoy the amazing food and support a good cause.

Amazing food and hospitality - Edit
The best food I’ve had in Vietnam so far! Everything is 100% vegan, and the menu is full of creative and flavorful meat alternatives (everything from chicken, beef, fish and even crab). On top of what you order, they serve three complimentary side dishes.
Read moreThe hospitality is outstanding. The owner is so welcoming and genuine.
On top of everything the owners backstory is really touching. He started out as a street child himself, and has built this restaurant as an entrepreneur while giving back to kids that are in the same situation he came from.
Pros: Amazing food, Genuine hospitality

Wonderful! - Edit
We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We ordered three dishes but ended up with so much more because there are so many free starter and side dishes that come with every order. We were given instructions on how to eat some of the food in the traditional way. Everything was absolutely delicious, try not to over order even though it's very tempting because you'll be given so much food. Food. Leona's story is really inspiring. Make sure you visit this place.

The food was excellent, in prodigious quantity and came out to us exceptionally quickly. The restaurant is away from the noise of the street down a narrow alley. It is air-conditioned. The staff are very efficient and friendly.

Unique - Edit
Everything about this place is different and interesting. From the location, tucked away in a back alley with just a small sign pointing to the restaurant, to the owner’s personal story which he gracefully shared, to all the free starters that are served as soon as you are sat. The food is very good and you get lots of it, and the prices are very reasonable. I had a starter, a main and a beer the the total came to $8. When I tried to tip, the owner gave me back the money and said he doesn’t accept tips. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly the best vegan food I’ve had in a while. Everything is vegan and the owner is lovely, with a beautiful story for his shop. Very generous servings of free protein (the tofu tomato soup is insane). Highly highly recommend and it’s so nice to support a local family.
