An all-vegan restaurant offers a new menu every day. NOTE: Location and signage is difficult to find. You need to find the MAY CHA tea shop, and enter through this storefront. The red MAY CHA sign is easy to find from the street, and once inside you can see the sign for MANG'S MANIA at the stairs in the back. Mang's Mania is up the stairs on the first floor. Open Mon-Fri 11:00am-8:30pm, Sat 11:00am-9:00pm. Closed Sun.

Taste good and normal price - Edit
Changes menu everyday, and also make sure you enter from the tea store to find it.
Read moreNoodle taste good, not very street food price but acceptable at this place.
They have the red chilly sauce which is really good, won’t come with the noodle, can ask for it if you like spicy taste.
Has outdoor area and indoor.

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
What a gorgeous find, through another shop and up some old concrete steps to the vegan wonderland. Such a cute little restaurant, with a balcony bar looking over Nguyen Hue walking street. We ordered summer rolls, and a couple of brown rice dishes - both came with tasty curly mushrooms (not sure what type). Only thing I'd say as a downside is that they were meant to be different dishes but looked identical.

🇵🇸 Good food, 🔻🗝️ lovely decor and 🇵🇸🌏🇵🇸🇻🇳 inexpensive! - Edit
🇵🇸⚖️ Very centrally located, the modest plates might seem small but are very satiating and healthy indeed. The place is located on the 1st floor (up). You'll need to pay attention to the address number to find the place on the main road. Currently the ground floor is occupied by a bubble tea place. Next to it is a corridor, at the end of which are a flight of stairs which will whisk you up to this cosy and 🕌 warm restaurant space. Relatively smallish menu, but still a 🇵🇸 great place to get a bite in D1 for relatively little! I can't recommend this enough!!

Very delicious - Edit
We found the restaurant to have friendly staff, the food was very tasty. Some of the hot sauce was very spicy, there was a wide variety of food and it was all very interesting. We liked everything and it was a really chill atmosphere highly recommended.

Nothing special - Edit
Comparing to all the great food and services we had in Ho Chi Minh, this was not at all special. If you are looking for a cheap, easy way out of lunch is ok. Super hard to find as mentioned and serving was not welcoming.

Nice refuge - Edit
This place is quite hidden, you need to go through a drinks shop (look for the circle sign for Mang’s Mania on the top right in front of it, not easily visible but it’s there) and go up the stairs.
Read moreIt felt really nice as a refuge from the heat and noise from the street.
We had the combo menu. Overall it was okay, but nothing special. The noodle dish (we chose the one with Indian taro) was nice but the fried tempeh we didn’t like it as much.
We also had salted caramel ice cream for dessert and we liked it.
The price is quite reasonable.
Pros: Cute hidden place, Affordable
Cons: Food was nothing special but still good

Delicious and I think is was fully vegan - Edit
I had the vegan balls with brown rice and tomato sauce and it was delicious (the photo was taken after I had several bites!). I can’t remember the name of the noodle bowl hubby had (included in photo) but it was also delicious. And the vegan salted caramel ice cream was outstanding. As other reviews have said, the entrance is a bit tricky as it looks like it is part of the shop below. I’ve marked the entrance in yellow in the photo.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
I went to this restaurant 4 days in a row, for my visit to Ho Chi Minh City and every day I was amazed by the delicious food and service, absolutely vegan so you don’t need to care about ingredients, I’m very happy that this options can be found all around the world and still get to know the typical food, just in a cooler way!

Had the most delicious broth I think of all time here in the noodle dish. Got the vegan balls and tofu in tomato sauce which was amazing (minus the coriander taste)

Restaurant is upstairs, you walk into a drinks shop and towards the back and upstairs to get there.

So delicious - Edit
We had the vegan balls and tofu in tomato sauce, the rice noodles with fried spring rolls which were both delicious. Both the vanilla and salted caramel ice cream were sugar free and also tasty. The best part was the lime, ginger lemongrass juice! All for $13!!

Eat here - Edit
Simply put, the food is delicious. The building is filled with a delectable aroma the minute you set foot through the door,. With a hand written rotating menu don’t expect to eat the same meal as I but have faith that whatever you chose will be tasty and leave you wanting to come back. staff are friendly and the service is both helpful and fast.
