Extensive menu of Vietnamese breakfast soups, hot pots, stir frys, clay pots, baked tofu dishes, plus salads and sandwiches. Many dishes contain soy or wheat-based mock-meats. Nice atmosphere with high ceilings, linen table clothes, lots of plants. Try the lemongrass tofu and the pho bo/ga, and bun rieu (vermicelli crab with a tomato base soup). Meals are served with hot tea. The menu is translated into English but very limited spoken English. Previously located at
62 Phan Dinh Phung. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-9:00pm.
Lunch Break: 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm.

Great Pho - Edit
I went for breakfast and ordered the pho with mushrooms from the breakfast menu, it arrived really quickly and was really really nice. I really need to learn what you’re meant to do with the giant plate of herbs you get along with Pho! But I couldn’t fault it, the hot tea that came too was tasty too

many vegan options - Edit
All meals are at least vegetarian. I’m not sure about egg content in some meals and milk in some drinks. Better to ask.

good selection, pretty yummy stuff - Edit
So, I got a pho and the dumpling, which was a bun filled with mushroom. I think the pho may have had egg in it? I'm not sure what the little egg looking pieces were, so I kind of picked them out and ate around them. The menu is HUGE, so I bet there were some better options than what I chose. Staff was very nice!

lots of choice - Edit
The menu is huge and we tried lots of different things. My favourite was the okra. Food was good but not brilliant. Definitely worth a visit. Owner's little boy was playing with his toy cars at our table, very cute.

Great mock meat - Edit
The restaurant is quite large and seems to get a fair bit of costumers.
Read moreWe saw lots having hot pot - seems like a thing.
The service was fast and the staff spoke English.
Do try the fried tofu (in the style of chicken wings) with dumplings. Simply amazing. I had no idea tofu could be used in such a way. Flavor and texture unlike anything I've had on a mock meat dish.
Four dishes and one drink was about 170k. Easily filled both of us.
Complimentary Vietnamese Lotus tea served at the beginning of our meal was a nice touch.
They had vegan Bahn mi - might have been mock meat but we didn't try.
Pros: Great service.
Cons: There were some strange smells in the restaurant a

Delish - Edit
A great place with a huge menu and the things we had from it were yummy! Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and tasty. Yes the fresh spring rolls are made already, but probably only that morning; we were happy to get them so swiftly and had no complaints whatsoever about the taste! Would definitely come back. The ice tea is delicious here, too.

Good option, bad service - Edit
The food is pretty good. Lots of options. Little expensive but not bad. It is super busy and seems understaffed. It can be quite dirty, with dishes everywhere. The service is really bad. I'm sure some servers are doing their best. But the girl we had was terrible. We didn't get half the food we asked for. And she just generally walked around aimlessly while we didn't get the food we ordered for a long time. Even the spring rolls that are ready made and we could have walked over ourselves to grab. I'd go here again. But don't expect world class service.

Been back a few times now, and we are pretty convinced that there are a few staff that don't like westerners in there. We have gotten cold shoulders, bad service, and funny looks.

Good Reliable Option - Edit
At the 'pricier' end of the spectrum (except when being ripped off blind by shabby hole-in-the-wall 'com chay', which always costs more), the soups and salads we tried here were always top notch. Green papaya salad is not to be missed!!

liked it a lot! - Edit
Went there twice as we really liked it, prices are more than reasonable for the food you get. But: they have a really extended menu when there aren't so many people in the restaurant, which was the case during our first visit (8:15pm). We even had two dishes we never had before, during our five vegetarian weeks in Vietnam! Unfortunately they don't serve a lot of the "special" foods if there are a lot of customers... Food was still good:)

very good - Edit
We had 2 dishes, the "like beef" which was in a clay pot and made of Gluten, and the "like pork" made of Tofu. Especially the first delicious! Very well seasoned.
Read moreI agree the plates were more expensive. Both 50.000 dong, but big and we thought the beef was the best dish so far in 4 veggie restaurants in Vietnam.

make a b-line - Edit
We just ate dinner here on our last evening in Da Lat and are feeling regretful about all the delicious meals we could've eaten if only we'd gotten ourselves to Hoa Sen sooner.
Read moreThe restaurant was pumping early on a Saturday evening. Other reviewers have mentioned that no English is spoken here but the waitress who took out order spoke English well. Having read about the fresh spring rolls so was keen to try those but they were out so they recommended the glutenous rice flour dumpling. Wrapped in pandan leaves, it's translated on the menu as "pyramidal" dumpling. The dumpling itself is not as rubbery as it looks, it's actually quite tender and has a slightly salty flavour of its own, although the filling of mushrooms, root veggies, and tofu julienned is the star here. We also shared one of the bao to start which had a similar filling to the dumpling but with a peppery seasoning. The bun was fluffy, slightly sweet and tasted a bit coconutty to me as well.
We ordered two main dishes which, while small, were plenty for the two of us with steamed rice. The chilli tofu was three big chunks of perfectly puffy fried tofu with a chilli and lemongrass seasoning. We also ordered "spicy vegetables" or something like that, thinking some greens would be a good balance to the tofu. The dish that arrived was very thinly sliced onions, quickly stir fried with a fake chicken type protein with similar seasoning to the tofu. Not what we expected but still delicious...just made for a pretty unbalanced meal in the end. When ordering vegetable dishes, I recommend choosing those where the actual name of the vegetable is translated if you want a better idea of what you're getting!
Unlike other reviewers, we found the service efficient and not unfriendly. What more can you expect? It's not fine dining. Ditto to the decor. The lighting is fluorescent, the floor is tiled but there are some nice touches like small indoor water features with steam and coloured lights. I think there's another seating area upstairs where it looked like the lighting might have been warmer and lower. Still, it's not the place to linger over dinner. Just enjoy your meal and get on with your life!

Real Vietnamese - Edit
This is a traditional, large Vietnamese Buddhist restaurant. You will see people inviting the monks etc there. As such, it is a good Vietnamese experience, but not the small "Quan" for everyday.
Read moreThe food is good, but typical also. This means a wide range. My VN friend liked the food and she is very choosy, so it gets an authentic tick. It does stand up well to other places. The prices are standard.
We had a hotpot (Lau) one time, and rice another time.
For some reviewers complaining about the lack of flavour, the problem is a lot of VN vego dishes are not strong. But something braised with pepper (kho tieu) or Tofu with lemongrass and chili (Dau hu xa ot) are stronger, and it is traditional to add chili or sauce at the table.
Lastly, comments about free tea made us laugh - that is standard for the vast majority of local restaurants and cafes in Vietnam.
It is 4.5/5 as a real VN place that I enjoyed. Have to round it up to 5 for HC!
Pros: Good food, Authentic, Pleasant
Cons: Not much

Expensive for what it is - Edit
Prices were quite expensive for Vietnam - cheapest at 35000 VND for a plate of veg, and then progressively higher for rice and noodles. You can't really order a main dish, so for 2 people it would work out quite expensive to get 4 things for a whole meal. In a lot of Veg restaurants in Vietnam you can get a simple main of white rice + veg, or pho for around 15000 VND.
Read moreOrdered bok choy and mushrooms (good) and water spinach with ginger (turned out to also be boy choy and without much ginger). We ate a glutionous rice dumpling wrapped in a banana leaf from the take-away stand out the front too (8000 VND each) as this was much better value!
Pros: Free green tea, Glutinous rice dumplings to take-away
Cons: Expensive for what it is

Amazing! - Edit
One of our favorites in Vietnam. Ate here 3 times in 2 days, including sandwiches from their lunch cart out in front of the sit down restaurant. Large menu, seems to be all vegan. Packaged cookies for sale were delicious and one of the few places we found baked goods in the whole country. The sandwiches were the best deal, $.75 each for take-away, but the rest of the menu was relatively inexpensive as well. Great location (just 2 blocks from the Dreams hotel with it's own amazing breakfast buffet).

Clean place with an extensive menu - Edit
This place was one of the most cleanest restaurants we've been in almost three weeks in Vietnam. They offer a wide range of meals. The fresh spring rolls are delicous, and so is the Hot Pot.
Read moreAlmost no english is spoken here, and they only offer alcohol-free beer, but the tea and as well as the juices are very good!
We've been to this place twice and would love to have one restaurant of this kind nearby in Germany :-)
