Delicious Food, Beautiful Surroundings

The short distance from the city centre should not put you off from visiting this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is amazing with beautiful decor. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Lovely atmosphere

In my opinion the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in hoi an.

The food is great. The portions generous and the menu large.

There are other great places offering similar quality but the sheer size of the menu and vegan options makes this place the best in hoi an.

I can come here every day for a few weeks and not be too bored of the menu. Other places become boring after just a couple of days.

Some staff don't speak great English but they're always very helpful and try to help as much as they can.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere and beautiful place

Cons: Starters seem over priced (same as mains), A little far from the centre of town but worth it

Superb vego bday dinner

Good vibes, amazing food, kind staff and a cute cat named Peanut. We have been back to Hoi An three times over the last few years and Am Chay is still one of our favourite spots. Tonight we had the best Pad Thai, sauteed broccoli and veg, fried tofu with salt and lemongrass and some cold rolls along with many mojitos and gin and tonics. We also celebrated a birthday and the staff made everything perfect. 💯

Avoid at all costs

Avoid if you're vegan. They recommended the Japanese pancake without mayonnaise to make it vegan, so we ordered that. It came covered in mayo so we sent it back asking for a new one without mayo. They brought out another but it turned out to be the same one, with fresh toppings but with mayonnaise still visibly dripping round the sides. We sent it back again and when it came out a third time it was clear that it was still the same dish and they'd just wiped round the edges, still leaving some mayo behind. Disgusting and won't be returning.

Good

Had the fresh spring rolls and carrot juice. Came out to 120K but well worth it. Nice place with lots of seating and an extensive menu.

Good food overall

Liked the food. Spicy noodle soup, bitter melon salad, pad thai and lemongrass tofu were all nice. Although in general we feel the restaurant is slightly overpriced. Especially the tofu, as there were only 4 pieces on the plate (no vegetables nor rice). A bowl of steamed rice was another 20k, which made the total dish 75k. Not worth the price, in our opinion.

Pros: Nice flavours

Cons: Slightly overpriced, Rather small portions

Mediocre

The location is away from Hoi An old city but use Grab to get a ride here. The food is ok but the menu is confusing and you cannot tell what’s Vegan and what’s Vegetarian. There are very limited protein options apart from tofu or likely this weird mushy soy product they seem to have here in Hoi An. There’s no bean option for protein apart from Green Bean Soup. As a whole food plant based eater I find it hard to get any vegan food in Hoi An that isn’t fried or stir fried. I had the spinach soup at this restaurant and it was tasty but ask for no added salt as it is quite salty. They ask if you want sugar with everything (even bread) which is a worry as you can never be sure what sugar may or may or have been added too

That being said give it a try as you might less [censored] with your food than I am.

Dissapointing smoothies/juices

We paid 45 for a mango/passion fruit juice and was the worse we had in Vietnam... looked good but not worth. Same with the mango ice cream, lime one is good :)

I heard the food is amazing though. So maybe try that.

This place serves the most delicious salads. I tried morning glory, lotus stem, and common knotgrass salads and I recommend all of them! I love the environment, great variety of options, and fair prices here.

Pros: So many options !, Fairly priced , Quiet, chill ambience

Don’t get the fuss

Went here last night as there was so many 5 star reviews.

We ordered the crispy tofu, mushroom curry and papaya salad. The food was so bland, I would have thought that the papaya salad would have been a bit spicy, but it was just like dry coleslaw. The mushroom curry had no mushrooms but fake meat and over cooked vegetables. The crispy tofu was silken tofu which just gave it an odd texture and the dipping sauce was mayonnaise with a chilli sauce.

Left the restaurant very disappointed. I’ve had worse meals but with so many great reviews I was expecting something more.

This restaurant has a more romantic mood and a lovely decoration. The food was good, is far from the old Town but it's really nice. Remember to bring your anti mosquitos because is close to the river.

Pretty Place with Good Food

This place is a bit retired from Old Town but is worth the walk there. It is big and has a nice decoration. The food is really tasty, with nice sauces. I tried the “Am Special Spring Rolls”, which were delicious and after that the “Morning Glory Salad”, which was very refreshing. The pineapple juice was ok but a bit watery for me.

Personalized service. Hoi An specialty dish!

I asked for something local and they made me something off the menu, a Hoi An specialty called Cao Lau. Absolutely delicious. It should be on the menu! Portion was very big (55NT). Ambiance is great. And of course the staff was amazing. Big menu, will definitely be back

Best meal I’ve had in Vietnam!!!

This restaurant is amazing!!! The food is so flavorful and delicious and there are lots of vegan and vegetarian options! Helen (the co-owner) is absolutely lovely. She sat down and talked with us for about 20 minutes at the end of our meal. I can not recommend Am enough. I wish I had more days there so I could go back multiple times! DO NOT MISS THIS IN HOI AN!!! Thank you Helen for the incredible experience.

Pros: Amazing food/ Extremely cheap , Incredible service , Amazing decor

Fantastic food

Everything we had was amazing! Japanese pancake, pad thai, fried tofu and fried spring rolls especially. All the items cost around 50-60k VND - super cheap considering the quality.

Amazing food and place

Not vegan, but with a lot of options and they can veganize whatever you want. Best fried rice I've ever had! The place is also beautiful and comfortable to just lounge. A little more expensive than other places, buy everything is made fresh and delicious. Worth it.

I got very surprised by the decor and comfortable seating with cool and chilled atmosphere. It looks a lot like artistic place with mix of new age decor, loads of candles and lanterns so traditional for Hoi An....perfect for romantic evening!!
I really loved the food, staff and prices :)

Worth the trek

This is a bit outside of the central part of Hoi An, but it’s still not that far out. It’s worth stopping by, even if it means venturing a little outside the typical tourist area.
They are a little more upscale than most of the veggie places in town, but still not expensive at all by western standard.s I had a really good lunch of steamed rice, veggie fish, and passion fruit juice, and the total was still less than $5 usd. The food was very good.
Although you can definitely find cheaper fare elsewhere in Hoi An, this place is special for a couple reasons. They have cool decor and a relaxing ambience, and they also have WiFi. Because of this, it’s a good place to hang out for a drink, snack, or meal, and it’s also a good place to find a cafe-like atmosphere, in case you need to catch up on some work or emails.

Pros: Relaxing space, Wifi
