Cancelled in Grab? - Edit
Our order was carefully selected (restaurant open by app), paid for, and then canceled, claiming the restaurant was closed (which doesn't fit with opening hours). Strange "customer service".

Nice food, but staff doesn't pay so much attention - Edit
The restaurant is labelled plant- based. There was nowhere a word of vegan. In a previous review I read that they use cowmilk, therefore I refrained from ordering a coffee. I ordered Dragonfruit/Banana/Tofu smoothie, and I liked it. For the soup I ordered a portion of tofu extra. The soup was quite spicy. The staff doesn't really pay attention if you want something, even though they are not that busy.

Very Tasty - Edit
The noodle bowl was delicious. I can’t deny it. And I won’t. I asked the staff if it’s true they use condensed milk and at first they said No No No but then they asked a higher up and he said not in the kitchen but in the coffee because in order to make true Vietnamese coffee you have to use cow milk. I foo d that to be very sad and disappointing. Obviously they don’t get the point. I should have known since they use the term Plant-Based. But the food was good. It was expensive though compared to most other spots in town. A little uppitty, but some people are into that kind of d of thing.

Lovely - Edit
I loved La Moi, it was the first vegan restaurant I went to in Vietnam, and the staff was so friendly. I ordered the summer rolls and a mushroom dish, as well as a pineapple fried rice to go. I thought everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were great! Would definitely come back, it's really close to some of the main tourist attractions and their decor felt really homely and comfortable.

Sehr lecker! - Edit
Wir hatten zwei Nudelsuppen dort und sie waren beide sehr sehr lecker. Vor allem die vegane Wurst und der Tofu waren super. Sehr gemütliches Restaurant und preislich völlig im Rahmen.🍜

Just okay - Edit
There are a ton of awesome vegan options in the area, but La Moi fell short. The flavors just weren’t there. We had pineapple fried rice, which was beautiful, but bland. Our tofu appetizer was pretty plain. Sorry, La Moi, but with the variety out there, I just can’t recommend this place.

Worth every dollar - Edit
Le moi has a large selection of both Vietnamese and Asian dishes. If you’re with company, I’d recommend getting one of the bigger menus to share. That way you’ll get a taste of everything and it won’t be that hard to choose from the menu (trust me, it is!! Everything looks too good!).

Good but pricey - Edit
We had the ribs which to be honest really were amazing and the mushroom hot pot which was ok I think the blue noodles didn't help (blue is not a food colour!) The prices don't include VAT at 10% which is added to your bill. Whilst it was nice it wasn't amazing for the price. The staff are great friendly and really helpful. It was very quiet when we went so not much of an atmosphere. Good to try but didn't have me yearning to return.

Gut - Edit
Das Restaurant hat sicher auch bessere Gerichte, als wir hatten. Nach meiner Erfahrung sind nicht mehr als 3 Sterne zu vergeben. Wir hatten Fried Noodles (war leider wirklich nicht gut) und die vegan ribs, die waren sehr gut, nur leider war die Portion sehr klein.

Delicious and nutritious - Edit
The staff here were incredibly knowledgable about the food, ingredients and health benefits. Beautiful setting and chatty staff who helped us choose the most authentic meal. I had the sour mushroom soup and mushroom spring rolls (very filling). 10/10 recommend if you are keen on tasting new flavours. My only regret is not learning the waitresses name as she was so inquisitive about where we were from and shared her own experiences.

Absolutely divine - Edit
Specifically sought out vegan places in Ho Chi Minh and this place was absolutely divine. Lovely aesthetic, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The menu is extensive and very affordable, the food came out very fast.
Read moreThe food was the best I've had in Ho Chi Minh and I've been here twice.
We got the battered shitake mushrooms as an appetiser, they were cooked perfectly, the batter lovely and crunchy, the sauce complimented it well. We also got the vegan ribs which were melt in your mouth delicious, the best vegan meat I've ever had. I got the miso mushroom udon noodle soup, everything tasted fresh and cooked just right. For dessert we got the banana ice cream, which was not creamy like you would expect, but more like a layered chunky slice. The coconut felt a little too frozen, but once it melted a bit it was great, a wonderful way to end the meal.
Pros: Large menu, Lovely and relaxing aesthetic, Staff
Cons: It's not in my country :(

The facility not worth it for a central district .... - Edit
We found this place on TripAdvisor and were excited to try it out as vegetarians. The food was great, and the service was good until we went to use the bathroom. The men's bathroom was upstairs, and the women's was downstairs, but it was far from a pleasant experience. The stinky smell hit us as soon as we entered, and the urinal bowl and sink were disgustingly dirty. To top it off, the toilet paper holder was missing its lid. The restaurant's high prices and central location in Sai Gon made this experience even more unacceptable. We had to leave and go back to our hotel to use the bathroom.
Read moreWe wish we just keep ourselves downstairs ...
