the best vegan food in edinburgh - Edit
We went to a fair amount of other places in Edinburgh but came back here twice because it was so good.
Read moreWe tried the chilli-salt-pepper mushrooms and tofu, lemongrass tofu with rice, stir fry tofu with noodles, hai phong caramel tofu with noodles, and summer rolls.
Everything was incredibly delicious, the staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was cosy. Highly recommend!

Absolute most go!! - Edit
It‘s a must-go location for me whenever I am in Edinburgh! The food is delicious, I especially love a dish featuring bananas in a savory sauce with tofu in a fish style that is so unique. I have never found tofu like that anywhere else, it‘s firm with some seaweed on top and has both a fish-like taste and consistency. Absolutely delicious. The fried ice cream I had for desert was also good. The staff and owner are also always very nice and make the experience perfect.

Had the mixed starters for four, loved it especially the salt and pepper tofu, then had the clay pot which was very tasty and warming on a cold day

Had a lovely warming meal here on a rainy November evening and would highly recommend. We booked ahead although it was quite quiet on a weekday.
Read moreWe had the starter platter, pho and aubergine as well as the two desserts haha and all was lovely!
The staff are very welcoming and the meal was good value (approx £65 for the above in 2025)

Delicious food! - Edit
Came here for lunch - they are open 12-3 according to Google. It was very quiet at lunch time, just us and one lone diner.
Read moreWe had the sharing platter - they did this without peanuts for us. Everything was delicious. We also had the lemongrass tofu (this was nice but quite spicy) and a noodle dish. All was lovely and would definitely reccomend.
The only down side is that it was rather nippy in there!
Note that they are cash only!
Pros: Lots of choice

So flavourful! - Edit
An absolutely delicious meal, really reasonable prices as you get rice or noodles included in your meal. The only reason gave 4 and not 5 is because cash/bank transfer only. But staff were lovely and good impeccable! Definitely worth a visit :)))

Read moreWhat a fantastic restaurant! The staff was super friendly and kind, and sat us by the beautiful entry window in the more private room.
The food was delicious, and you can order a giant tray that includes a great selection of different things to try.
Would love to come back!

Friendly service / cash only - Edit
More of a cafe vibe than restaurant. Friendly service, good menu, bit cold indoors but food was hot so warmed me up.
Read moreI had Hai Phong Caramel & Kohlrabi which is described as plant protein caramelised. I didn’t find it caramelised. Other than garlic I found it without flavour. B had Stir Fried and Chargrilled plant protein with stir fried vegetables. B really enjoyed his food, so much so he had a dessert! Fried ice cream.

So good food!! And the service (Guy with nosepiercing) was on top! Really nice and helpfull. Got the food fast but it dident taste fastfood. Many options and not expencive. Think im gonna go there tomorrow for lunch as well ❤️
Read moreWent back for lunch 30 min befor they close today and had it as takeaway, it was High class even as that. Def be back as soon as we can
Update 2024-04-25
Went back a year later, omg still so good! It’s tasty, fast and perfect cooked. It’s hard to eat at another place today hehe
Updated 2025-04-09
Good but something was different. Smaller portions and I felt like I needed a starter or something as well. Usually im super full after the president-dish, now I was not. But still recommended, it was still really good. But maybe I think its a little expensive now when the dish is smaller

Delicious but inconsistent - Edit
(Feb 2021) Tasty and fresh. Prices are a bit on the expensive side but there's a 15% lunch discount and 10% student discount. Complementary jasmine tea was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and attentive.
Read moreUpdate (Feb 2025): had been a while since I'd been, but was much more impressed. Menu is bigger and mains all come with rice or noodles which makes the prices much more reasonable. Everything delicious and really fresh tasting.
Another update (March 2025): turns out it's new owners - website and online booking are linked to previous owner and current one has no access, they said this is also why it's always cash only 🤷♀️ went back for the delicious crispy pancake and was given something more like a samosa! Was told this was the new verison - was a completely different item, but they offered to make the old version which we took them up on. So odd. I wonder if they just gave us the wrong thing. One main was then also wrong, and was given noodle side instead of rice. Felt chaotic, wouldn't rush back.

Great vegan Vietnamese food in Edinburgh - Edit
Missing prawn crackers? Theirs are as good. Fab crispy mushroom starter. Aubergine and tofu main - a bit gelatinous (in texture - still vegan!)
