Excellent!!

Beautiful restraunt inside! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the owner was a gentleman and spent a lot of time chatting to us. A great variety in the menu and loads to choose from, the food was excellent! So good we went twice whilst we were there! The fried stuffed Tofu Lemongrass was the best I have ever had! Would highly recommend a visit!

Good experience

This is a lovely place, but it wasn’t exceptional. Their breakfast menu looks amazing, but they only serve one of those dishes per day, so there’s so many things you want to try but can’t. And compared to that, the other dishes look underwhelming. They charged a fee for the napkins, which they only told us about afterwards.
The food itself was good, nothing to complain about. If you’re nearby, this is a good option. But compared to other restaurants in the area, it can’t compare.

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed our food at Rau Oi.

We appreciate your comments on our breakfast menu; we offer a daily special for freshness, but understand the desire for more variety.

Regarding the napkin charge, we sincerely apologize if this was unclear; we aim for full transparency. In Vietnam, it's a common practice for wet wipes to be a small separate charge. Rather than absorbing it into our dish prices (which some establishments do whether you use it or not), we chose to show it clearly for transparency. We regret any surprise this caused and will review our communication.

While we're happy to be a good option if nearby, we truly strive for every visit to be exceptional, and your input is valuable as we continuously refine our experience. We hope you'll consider visiting us again.

Warm regards,
Rau Oi Vegatarian

Surprisingly delicious food in an alleyway restaurant with a simple rustic interior

Hidden away in an alley with an interesting menu, lots to choose from and plenty of vegan options. Each item described in detail which was helpful as the server we had wasn’t particularly informative. Especially enjoyed one of the specials with aubergine, mushrooms & glass noodles. Met one of the owners who was passionate about the healthy, vibrant food they create & a pleasure to meet. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Wow!

This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants that I have eaten in, anywhere. Such an interesting and imaginative menu. We were spoilt for choice and probably over ordered. I'm glad that we did as every mouthful was wonderful. The service and ambience were excellent. We felt so welcome. If you are a vegan or vegetarian or even if you are not, do not miss out on eating here whilst in Ho Chi Minh City. Well done Rai Oi Vegetarian! I'll be telling people about you for many years to come.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

The food I had was nice, but the menu is very egg heavy

It was just a little disappointing to see so much egg on there. The staff were really friendly and the food was yum

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Expensive but not impressive

The food was rather pricey for its portion. The flavour was alright for me, but its price didn't do its justice. One dish cost more than 100k, which was a bit too much. Anyway the ambience was nice.

Special Duck Meat and nice menu

The menu was really great and I couldn’t decide what to choose. In the end, I went for the vegan duck which is a great copy of the meat-version. They imitated the fat very well but still it was very crunchy from the outside. So, if you like that, go for the duck!

Pros: Menu, Duck, Drinks

Best tasting food from our 3 month trip

Honestly I cannot believe the last couple of reviews here. This was the best food I’ve had whilst travelling around Asia for the last 3 months! Every dish was so flavoursome and fresh. We ordered the mushroom oyster salad, mushroom rolls and another type of rolls before ordering the mixed tofu as the first dishes were so good. The restaurant has a very trendy vibe also - a perfect place in my opinion !

Pros: Fresh taste, Healthy, Innovative

Cons: None at all

Spring rolls

Who serves dried ass spring rolls? Every amateur knows that rice paper dries up quickly and becomes not chewable. And the amount of coriander they put in should be illegal.

Updated from previous review on 2023-11-23

Pros: Clean, atmospheric , Good service

Cons: Many of the dishes are not well thought out, Barbecue mushrooms are bad, Spring rolls barely eatable

Is ok..

They charge for using napkins and are packed with plastic. The food was expense for what it has to offer taste wise. There were many not available dishes.

Pros: The service was good

Cons: Napkins with plastic, Food just ok, Little expensive

Good vibe, good food

I found the menu a bit difficult to follow. The tax is not included on menu prices so we were surprised by the bill. They also provide you with wet napkins when they lay the table, and we were then charged 10,000 Dong for them at the end. We had a 5% discount for something, though I don’t know what.

I had a soup, it was good and I enjoyed the different flavours but I’ve had better. The ‘duck’ rolls were also nice but slightly overpriced in my opinion.

Pros: Good and hearty food

Cons: Sneaky pricing

Atmospheric and tasty

The Quack Quack is great. Also tried the blue lemonade and the tofu sandwiches, which all have different sauces. Everything tasted great and the prices were reasonable, at least from a European perspective. Easy to find, fast WiFi, friendly service.

Nice place quite expensive

The food is tasty and the place is nice with a good service. It is quite expensive compared with others vietnamese restaurants and the portions are not that big. They charge 5000 Dong separately for the wet napkin.

Great vegetarian and vegan food

Everything was very clean and the atmosphere there was really cozy. They have kind staff and a big food selection. Prices are completely fine. We paid 350.000 VND for 2 people with starters and drinks. The food was very delicious and it was a worthy experience! 😋

Pros: large selections, food with pictures

Limited choice for vegans

The menu seems to revolve around eggs making the choice for vegans limited. The food is ok but prices are much higher (more than double) than for comparable food in more local places. And they do the thing I hate. Hide the tax in tiny font at the bottom of the menu. It’s not optional so be honest and show it in the price!

One of the few places to make it on to my do not return list.
