Worth it

Esta un poco lejos del centro pero merece la pena, la comida muy rica y la mujer que me atendió muy agradable, estuvimos charlando un rato y me explico los platos. El vegan karaage viene con una salsa salada que está increible.
Completamente recomendado.

Great food and service

I was late because the info on Happy Cow was wrong (kitchen closes at 8:50pm, not 10pm), but the lovely lady in charge still made me a meal. Thanks so much!

A hidden gem

The food was delicious. Lots of options in English on the menu and the host offered to give recommendations. We had the oyster mushrooms, fried rice, sausage and lemongrass tofu and ate it all. The rice was a particular favourite for me. All our food was vegan and the host was lovely - would recommend!

Well worth a visit

Plenty of choice on the menu, you'll be spoilt for choice. We had the chilli and lemon tofu, ginger chicken, fried spring rolls and papaya salad which isn't spicy at all like a Thai papaya salad, it's subtly sweet with Thai basil and mint. With the help of Google translate the owner got us two portions of rice from next door at 20k each. The mango smoothie was excellent and very fresh and we had a nice view of the world going by. The bill is paid downstairs. Go here you won't be disappointed :)

Pros: Plenty of choice, Authentic options with a vegan twist

Tasty vegan Vietnamese food

Fresh, vegan Vietnamese food! We had lemongrass and chili tofu, vegan chicken, fried rice, vegetables and pineapple juice. All were delicious and it was great to know we could eat anything while in Hanoi without worrying about animal products

Pros: Food was amazing, Lovely staff, Nice view of the street too

Nice little place

It’s a bit out of the way but worth visiting. This place is popular with locals. We enjoyed the food we ordered including a herby sausage. Food was inexpensive and felt authentic

Wonderful Vietnamese Cuisine in Hanoi

We love this place indeed. Owner of the restaurant was very friendly. We took GRAB from the old quarter. Around 2km, 10mins.

We had requested no garlic and onions due to my religion.

Taste was fantastic. It really suits us well. We had steamboat in the winter. Basically, six of us are very happy with their food and services

Pros: Delicious. Extensive menu, Inexpensive , Clean food.

Cons: It's is not walking distance from Hong Kien Lake

Amazing local restaurant

Very good food, sadly I was only there once. Local cuisine, faux meats and vegetable dishes. I liked the view down onto the busy street and stayed a while after finishing my meal - just people and traffic watching.

Pros: Amazing food, Nice local place, Very cheap

Cons: Staff only understands basic English

Absolutely delicious

If folks who gave reviews were experienced Vietnam travelers, this place would be MUCH more highly rated than some of the sub-standard and overpriced places closer to main tourist areas that are listed at the top. The food was absolutely delicious. Try the fish...it'll be some of the best tasting mock meat you've ever tried anywhere. Worth a Grab (Uber) to get there.

==================

I've spent 3 months traveling throughout Vietnam. So here are some general notes about dining here: Don't expect a Western-style experience in ANY WAY. Service won't be the same, ordering won't be the same, waiting won't be the same, eating won't be the same, using the restroom won't be the same, and getting the check won't either. So calm down. You traveled a long way to get to Vietnam presumably to do something new and experience a different culture. Want Western style Vietnam? Maybe there is one at Epcot Center. But you're in Vietnam so take the "good" with the "bad" and enjoy. So many reviews on here are littered with pointless comments focusing on how UN-Western Vietnam restaurants are. Not helpful.

Here's the good news. Order a juice in Vietnam, you're getting REAL JUICE. Not some crap out of a can. They will often add sugar, so if you don't want it simply let them know. Those serving juice generally understand "no sugar". Is your juice or veggies room temperature? GOOD. That means they are fresh. Cold fruit and veg is NOT fresh. This is how locals assess produce, so try it. Want ice in your warm juice? Ask for "dah" (ice). Is your food cheap? GOOD. That means you are probably dining at a local establishment and eating like locals eat. Some of the most expensive vegan Vietnamese food in Vietnam is the worst food, because you are getting ripped off as a tourist. Many of them are the highest-rated restaurants on here and tripadvisor because tourists don't bother to leave their hostel area.

Be polite: "cah mon" is more or less how to say "Thank you". To ask for a menu, put your hands together as if praying and then open like a book. To ask for a check, make a writing motion or say "tehn tien".

Eating vegan in Vietnam is a breeze. There are TONS of vegan ("chay" more or less means vegan...Vietnamese generally don't use dairy, so you won't often find it in vegetarian "chay" restaurants, though use some caution and also beware of egg.) Eating vegan in non-vegan restaurants is possible, but you run a much higher risk of exposure to fish sauce/lard used in frying.

Amazing mock meat!

The mock meat is better than real meat and almost looks more real. Could totally tell a non vegan that its meat and they would agree. Very tasty

Pros: Tasty., Great mock meat

Cons: None

Very nice hotpot

The restaurant has a decent and modern dining room in the second floor. We ordered hotpot and it was very very good and our tummys full without feeling too full. Staff is very nice. 5 Stars well deserved.

Pros: Complete vegan menu, Low - middle price range.

Authentic Vietnamese noodle soups

Had dinner here several times. The vegan crab noodle soup is amazingly tasty. The seaweed broth tastes good as well. Friendly staff, always tells you how to eat it in the right Vietnamese way.

I love this place.

The owners are really great and welcoming. True it’s a mostly Vietnamese clientele as someone mentioned but the menu lists dishes in English as well as Vietnamese. Food is great here. Try the nem thính.

Pros: Great local place, not a tourist trap

Tasty and off the beaten track

We had a nice time here but it's more for locals vs tourists...the dishes we had were tasty and we'll priced though the menu doesn't well reflect the actual food...service can be a little slow, so order quickly when you arrive!

Pros: large menu, good food

Cons: service tends to be slow, even for paying tue bill

Tasty and filling hotpot for a very good price

We had the vegan hotpot, which was very good and cost only 190k (around 7-8€). Preorder it!
There were mushrooms, tofu, loads of veggies and greens, rice noodles... all of them were good.
English menu available, even if staff didn't speak any english :/
The place in itself isn't that nice, we were the only customers, which we don't like.
The food in itself was nice but the experience wasn't the best, that's why I'll only give 4 stars.

Pros: nice and filling hotpot for a good price

Creative but unfriendly

Cheap vegan food. Nice twist on the mock meat. We had Coconut ribs and chicken ginger and both were delicious. We found the staff cold and unfriendly though. The owner even took the only fan we had to give it to another arriving customer. Rude.
