Not the best, not the worst.

This restaurant didn't feel super cozy, but the people working there were nice and good with english language.
Waitress suggested a dish with plain noodles, spring rolls and herbs, and said it was a good dish... The noodles were cold and the spring rolls not the best I have had. But it was pretty cheap, 35k.

Pros: Everything vegan.

Cons: A bit boring in presentation and taste.

Rico

Rico sabor, el menú era grande pero tenían pocas opciones para servir
Fui un día Lunes temprano (desayuno), quizás debí haber ido más tarde (11.00hrs) para tener más opciones y ellos más tiempo para preparar
A pesar de todo, la opción que tenían era muy rica

Pros: Vegano, Buena porción de sopas

Good Meal

Somehow we missed finding this place last time in Hanoi. Menu not all that extensive but the food is really GOOD. Staff friendly & helpful. Great value. For the price it is one of the best Vegan places we’ve eaten at. Will probably eat here again before we leave. We were a bit late so ordered off the menu, some options weren’t available.

Pros: Vegan, Good Food, Good Staff

Little choice

Big menu, little choice. Only few items available to order, mostly items with mock meat/vegan spam. Just ok

Huge variety of vegan and vegetarian food, friendly service and very affordable. Paid 70.000 for 2 delicious bao buns and noodles with vegan nuggets. Highly recommend this place.

Fresh tasty food

Went here and had a variety of dishes. One downside was that a lot of dishes weren’t available (we went there around 3pm, so not even that late). But of what we had, it was fairly decent. Spring rolls were tasty, as were the small sausage like starters (5k each). I also had the mock crab noodle soup. The tofu in it was delicious, fake meat was okay. Perhaps could’ve been more veg and tofu, as it was very liquidy.

One other reason I’m dropping it a star is because me and my two friends left with fresh bites from the restaurant. We definitely didn’t have them before we went in, so something was having a go at us in the restaurant. They seem more like flea bites than anything else. Something to be aware of

Pros: Fully vegan, Cheap

Cons: Lots of options unavailable , Bitten by flea or some other bugs when there

Tasty

I love the selection of vegan food in their vegan buffet! Really tasty and each of it has its distinct taste which I loved the most! Will defo come back.

It was 99k for the vegan buffet. Could also go for a la carte if you prefer to.

Hidden Place

The restaurant is a little bit hidden. They only had three dishes available, but were very tasty. The soup and the rolls were amazing. The soup was 30k and the rolls 35k. The buffet is on the first and 15th of the lunar calendar.

Pros: Vegan, Tasty

Cons: Few options, Average service, Hot, Pricy

Freezer food

There’s a big chest freezer in this restaurant that supplies most ingredients for the scant meals they serve. Nothing was tasty. It was basic. I tried steam bun which she then collected from the freezer. They were inedible. The noodle soup lacked taste or depth of flavour. Survival food I’d say.

Pros: It’s not meat, It is veggie

Cons: Chest freezer supplies most ingredients , Not tasty or well prepared

Really Tasty

I had alot of food from here I hadent had before in Vietnam and it was great. The Vietnamese bread roll which was a kind of rice cake with a warming lental filling, very much similar to the taste of sarmale (Romanian stuffed cabbage) . Then the broth I had which contained different types of mock meat was very tasty. This cost me a total of 45k for both, great pricing. Not much English but that caused no problems.

Pros: Cheap, Variety of vegan options , Great flavours

Cons: None

Tasty food for a good price

Fully vegan restaurant! As many places in Hanoi it was a little hard to find, on the main road there is a sign leading you into an alley. Very nice staff and cozy place. The fried spring rolls were amazing!

Cheep and good

Didn’t have everything on the menu so limited choice but as it’s a small place then that’s fine especially as the food was so good. Small eating area so will be sharing tables with randomers but that seems to be the Vietnamese way so it’s a good cultural experience in all tbh. Also it’s a phaaattt serving of food for a very cheap price so amazing really if ur travelling on a budget

Good food good price

Great food quality.

All ingredients are fresh & clean (they even have their own vegetable/herb farm). Friendly owners/cooks.

With the low price the food quality is much more better than its peer restaurants.

Have to say that the "bun rieu chay" here is among the best in Hanoi vegan restaurants

Coin de vegan

Au fond d’une ruelle on tombe sur ce resto qui ressemble plus à un salon chez des locaux et qui fait aussi office de magasin.
On s’assoit et on peut apprécier des plats Viet goûtu et copieux pour un prix ridicule.
La carte est fournie mais lors de mes deux passages, seuls quelques plats étaient disponibles ce qui n’enlève rien à l’attrait du lieu.

Pros: 100% vegan, Très bon marché

Delicious

The food here is really good and staff are super friendly. I think the description is wrong though, we turned up at 8am after a night bus but they were closed until 9am. We asked what time they opened and were told 9am. Also the buffet is only on certain days of the month not everyday

Super cheap hidden gem

Hidden in an alley is this gem of a restaurant. I had a hard time finding the location due to unclear signs and the place being empty.
The staff was friendly, though doesn’t speak English. We managed on google translate and she gave me recommendations. The menu appear massive, but she pointed out about 10 or so options that were available.

I ordered a spring roll and soup combo. I loved the soup, but though the spring rolls were a tad over cooked.

My meal turned out to be about $1.50 and I will definitely go back!

Pros: All vegan, Cheap , Authentic

Cons: Hard to find , Lacks an atmosphere

Very nice fried vermicelli

Loved the fried vermicelli! However, my boyfriend ordered the noodles with fried springrolls, but was not too enthousiastic about it. Overall good value for money. Will be back for more.

Not all options on the menu are available though. They select a couple each day.

Pros: Veg restaurant, Cheap, Huge portions

Cons: Not all items available

Fun Vegan Food

We had a lovely time enjoying delicious vegan food. The women chefs there are very friendly and helpful in showing you how to eat their dishes. If you’re into simple settings and tasty vegan foods, we really recommend this eatery.

Pros: Menu w/ many vegan choices, Very simple setup, Very quiet and away from busy street

Cons: Very few menu items available to choose, A little difficult to find entrance, No sign of Buddhist monks or temple

Nice one.

I went there very early in the morning, they had only several dishes, among them a phở, which I took with their (I suppose home-made) excellent chilly sauce and a cashew nut milk (freshly made and warm, almost hot).
So early, I was the only customer, it was quiet and they were very friendly.
Highly recommanded.
PS: You have to take off your shows before entering ; you can also buy some of the goods they have such as cashew nuts, etc.

Pros: Good food, Friendly people, Large menu depending on when you go
