Disgraceful

It's not a buffet. It's 120k dong for one tiny plate and you can't even have a refill. They even seem confused about you being here at all. And it's cold and not even good! Worst food experience of a month in Vietnam.

Cons: It's not a buffet?, It's ridiculously expensive, The staff is RUDE

Went all over Vietnam but this was the only scam I encountered!!

They were have a buffet at the time and the locals were all getting it so I thought I’d opt for buffet instead of a fixed menu. What a horrible mistake they say the price is based on weight. Let me tell you that’s not the case because the lady at the counter didn’t even weigh it. I literally got a tiny scoop of rice with 2 pieces of mock meat and a scoop of fried pork. Taste was old and absolutely nasty and they priced it as the highest price card they could find in the stack. Was better off ordering on the fixed menu or better yet not supporting a scam organization. This put such a sour taste in my mouth when I saw someone’s dish come out and saw what I got for what I paid!!! Don’t go here go elsewhere the food sucks. When I told the owner that she didn’t even weigh it he just said it’s the price and didn’t care. Expected way more from an vegan joint. Also the prices aren’t updated it’s nothing like what you see posted they’ve been changed.

Pros: None

Cons: Food , Service , Everything

Very Good one!

We loved this place for their home made seitan! The serving was fast and food was cheap. You should try their summer rolls! BEST!

Pros: Pure vegan, Home made seitan, Summer rolls BEST!

Great spot

We absolutely loved the food. Sadly we only made it once. One day when I am back I have to come back to this place. Must try is Cao Lau! 🌱

Sorry Didn't rock my boat

After all ghevpisitive reviews we were looking gorward tovghis one. The food was very mediocre at best, lacking flavour and luke warm. We had the chicken rice which was OK and the stir fried tofu and mushrooms with rice which was very poor. It consisted of pieces if tofu and mushroom in a tasteless watery broth with no evidence it had ever seen a wok or been stir fried at all. Sorry but really disappointed wouldn't go again.

Pros: Looks pretty, Nice staff

Cons: Luke warm food , Dish not as described, Lacking flavour

Good vegan food with many options to choose

We ordered the rice with different options of mock meat and vegetables. The food was ok but was cold and the portion could have been bigger.

Lecker und gemütlich zum Sitzen

Es gibt ein Buffet und eine Karte, wovon mal wählen kann. Das Essen kam recht mild gewürzt daher, dann gab es aber eine Chilipaste, Sesamsoße und Limette zu Suppe, Reis Gemüse und dem herzhaften Pfannkuchen. Alles zusammen sehr sehr lecker und typische Gerichte aus Hoi An lassen sich so auch vegan probieren!

Crispy tofu

The buffet option with rice was out of this world. The balcony is lovely and secluded.

Good food nice athmosphere upstairs.

Went last night , unfortunately the Bao bun were sold out but my cau lau soup was big filling and tasty, it had inside local rice noodles that I haven't tried before seitan and tofu. A real bargain for 45.

Hidden Vegan Gem - Delicious Food & Warm HospitalityHidden Vegan Gem - Delicious Food & Warm Hospitality



This family-run vegan restaurant is an absolute treasure! They offer a fantastic choice of à la carte dishes as well as delicious prepared food, ensuring something for everyone. Even though their English is basic, the staff made a sincere effort to understand and accommodate all my requests, which I truly appreciated.

The food is outstanding—every dish is flavorful, fresh, and made with care. I’ve been back multiple times because I loved not just the food, but also the genuine friendliness of the family. The quiet, cozy terrace adds to the charm, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

It’s good, good, and GOOD! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing vegan food and warm hospitality.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Friendliness

Cons: No dislikes

Very disappointing

Had great expectations after reading all the good reviews, but very disappointing. The Cao lau was pretty tasteless and the serving very small. The fried spring rolls were ok but also very small. The fresh fruit juice were cut with water and full of ice, so again very disappointing. Expensive for what it is, we left still hungry, this is the first time it happened to us in Vietnam.

Pros: Staff is nice

Cons: Very small servings, Fruit juices cut with water, Expensive for what it is

Ottimo

Finalmente abbiamo potuto mangiare senza timore di cibi non vegani: il pho, gli involtini e altri piatti ottimi, qui c'è grande scelta. Mi spiace solo che ci hanno fatto accomodare al primo piano e vedevo la fatica della signora che ci ha servito a salire e scendere. Prezzi allineati con la zona.

Pros: Il locale è piacevole

Cons: Tavolo unto, Il nome fuori è Ba Dam

Very good

Wanted to try a cao lau, this one was nice. The crispy bits on top were delicious, I’d eat them by the boat load. The summer rolls were lovely too.

Vegan highlight

Perfect for a vegan backpacker, the food was sensational and rotated daily, cheap prices and amazing vibe seated amongst locals and tourists. Tucked away down an alley this was a favourite spot for us.

Pros: The quality of food and flavours , Rotating menu , The price

Tasty

We went there for dinner on a Friday night and there was only us and another table of guest.
We had a seat upstair, it was simple yet cosy.
The food was delicious, well prepared and reasonably priced.
The restaurant is located at some kind of small alley and the setting from outside is not very attractive.
We managed to get there using Google Map but in the darkness, we sort of got a bit lost to try to get back to the crowded main street.

Pros: Food

Cons: Might not be the easiest place to locate

Amazing spot

I just realized I didnt review this place after all of my visits in January.
This place was one of my favorites in Vietnam.
Great terrace to sit and enjoy the food.
Great choices and great taste.

Super good Cao Lau!!

Easy to find if you follow the instructions on google (we found it on first try)

Pros: friendly, good value for money, great food

You MUST go here

Backpackers i implore you, if you want a cheap DELICIOUS and filling completely vegan meal- this is THE place. It’s ran by a small group of women (I assume are family) and it’s very basic settings but the food is absolutely incredible. Buffet style so they will load you up a plate with everything on and it was so filling we couldn’t even finish it for only 80k. We went back multiple times over the 5 days and it never failed us. Highly recommend

Pros: Price , Buffet style , Delicious options

Incredible Buffet

Run by a really sweet group of women, the buffet is great and food tastes amazing. 90k for a full plate of food. A bit hard to find but put into google and keep walking down that street.

Pros: Buffet

The best meal I had in Hoi An, down a little alley way and run by a nice family. The menu options are clearly labelled vegan, the meals were super fresh and the atmosphere upstairs was nice.

Pros: DELICIOUS & fresh food, Nice atmosphere, Good price
