A charming find.

What a wonderful little place! It’s a little oasis of tranquillity, just a few metres off the backpacker trail down an alley, but far enough to feel as if you’re in another, much less stressful world. When I visited, there were two dishes on offer: vegetable noodles and vegetable fried rice. The drinks menu was much more comprehensive, and features some interesting local beverages, including one made from pomelo flowers. I had the noodles, which came with a spring roll and fried tofu. They were similar to what you might find on the street, but vegan, and at a street price too – I was quite surprised they cost only VND 35,000, considering how beautifully designed the restaurant was. I also had the excellent coffee, which came with vegan condensed milk – the first time I have seen this – and extra hot water, a nice touch. Again, this made it seem very authentic. I was on the way to catch a bus, and so the early opening hours were much appreciated. The owner assured me everything she uses is vegan, and, although her English isn’t strong, she is very welcoming and has a great concept – good, simple food at good prices, in lovely surroundings. UPDATE: some of the menu items are NOT vegan, such as the coconut ice cream. (Apparently they're working on a vegan version...) This isn't shown on the menu, so you need to ask.

Pros: Lovely ambience, Value for money, Early opening

Cons: Some items not vegan.

Definately recomed it - it is a must try:)))

You are so kind – thank you very much! We do our best to serve traditional Vietnamese vegan food. We are glad that you and your family enjoyed our Phở. We were so surprised that your son could finish the big bowl of Phở, we take that as a big compliment?

Hidden place

In a small alley next to Bui Vien street there is this quiet, small cafe/restaurant.
It is really a surprise to find a place like this so near all the beer bars and party music. Here I can relax and enjoy an honest vegan meal for only 35K VND. It taste so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the password to the free wifi. The Vietnamese coffee (20K) taste really good, clean taste of real coffee (not roasted in butter and sugar as many do in Vietnam) I feel blessed to finally have found a peaceful place here in Saigon where I can relax and avoid the noise from the big city a few hours once in a while.

About the place:
They serve 1-2 vegan dishes a day.
Free WiFi.
No plastic straws and when you order takeaway all boxes are made from paper and plant materials.
Free scooter parking. (2-3 bikes)
Open every day.
Vegan food, hot and cold coffee/tea, fresh made juice, soda and beer.

I just love to see someone care about the big picture...

Pros: Excellent healthy food, Great value, Very clean

Delicious food, nice atmosphere

Restaurant serves two different dishes (that change daily) plus a wide selection of drinks. When we came, unfortunately only one of the meals was available, but it was really yummy, so we were quite happy with our dinner. The owner was really friendly and spoke basic English. At 35k per meal, it was a really good deal and I will gladly come again.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and good service , Tasty and cheap food

Cons: Limited selection, Might run out of a meal if you come later in a day
