One of a kind experience

The warm, family-like atmosphere and the unique dishes, full of passion and dedication, truly set this place apart. I’ve been here twice: the first time was a wonderful discovery, the second a confirmation. Congratulations on the strength and spirit that keep this restaurant thriving ❤️

Great Food and Experience

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

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.

The 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!

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.

Lots of really good food

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.

A place not to be missed

Absolutely loved the food. The food was incredible, my niece loved making food rolls and loved the food there. Be sure to try the food rolls! 😊

Pros: Being a vegetarian, I was apprehensive., But I absolutely loved the food. And the story of, Mr. Cuding brought tears to my eyes.

Unique

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Small but mighty – unforgettable food!

The best meal of our entire trip. The vegan “beef” and “pork” were insanely good – full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and truly impressive. The place is simple and unpretentious, but the food speaks for itself.

Absolutely recommended!

Pros: Vegan beef and vegan pork, The food is served as a classic Vietnamese meal – , The owner also supports street children with the p

Incredible Vegan Food

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.

Pros: Tofu tomato soup , Papaya salad , Fried pork

Sooo tasty!

It wa just a blast having dinner at Katze restaurant.
Everything we ate tasted deliciously.
And don't be confused about the location. Two restaurants are serving the same tables, so just ask for the vegan menu.
Big recommandation!

Pros: Tasty, Authentic, Big variety

amazing and delicious spot

i think this is the only mock meat place in old quarter. They have amazing items and everything is delicious. All tasted fresh and every meal comes with free starter of tomato tofu, salad and veggie soup.

The location is somewhat hard to spot, it shares seating area with non-vegan restaurant, so it’s a little harder to spot.

Must try experience in Hanoi

Small lovely local place with an incredible history behind.

Love the concept, they give you a few local entrees for free so be aware of how much good you order.

The pork ribs with pepper sauce were absolutely amazing, fried spring rolls top as well

All vegan, many free side dish!

I order 2 menu only. They gave me 4 free side dish including rice, tofu, vegetables, and soup. They even teach me how to eat correctly which I have to deep the dish in the sauce first and eat it with rice. Price are affordable, great service!

Good concept, taste varies

You order one 'main' course which is then served with a big variety of other meals. I had ordered mock pork in pineapple sauce. It tasted really strange, the sauce not like pineapple. Very delicious was the mock beef. Everything else didn't have much taste

Pros: Mock beef, Concept , Atmosphere

Cons: Mock pork
