Banh Goi Chay

We came here beacuse of the good reviews and loved it. Due to Tet they only had the pillow donuts and springrolls available but they were delicious. It's also fun to eat on the street with locals. We learned from a friend of the owner's family that they are the only street food place in Hanoi and they've been in the same spot for over 7 years. Must visit if you're in town !

Tasty, very cheap, and the vendor is very nice.
Be prepared for fried food. If you avoid it, you can still have a wonderful dessert there.

The mung bean donuts were incredible! Everything we tried was delicious. Friendly people and a great place to watch the world go by while eating amazing food!

Had the spring rolls, donuts and pillow donuts which were filled with mushrooms, carrots and tofu. Everything was so tasty and very cheap. About 5k each for the spring rolls and 10k for the pillow donuts. There was a young chap working at the stall who speaks a little English plus an English menu with dishes and ingredients described. Grab a mini chair and get snackin.

100% vegan and amazing spring rolls. There's a reason this place is crammed with locals at lunch time.

This was my first vegan meal while traveling in Vietnam, and it didn't disappoint! We ordered the vegan donuts, spring rolls, another item, which I forgot the name, and they were all delicious. In addition, I brought my family who are meet eaters, and they also loved the food. Not all the items on the menu were available; however, the taste, friendly staff, and prices made up for it! We also sat on small chairs around a small table on the sidewalk. Eat here if you want an authentic Vietnamese street food experience!

I popped down here after visiting the Hoa Lò prison as I fancied a snack!

I had the savoury pastry and it was filling delicious and cheap (10000 dong) and the man that served me was very courteous

Number 1 in Hanoi, great quality though low price

This place is so great, and the family who run it are some of the nicest people I've met in Vietnam! As someone mentioned, they are a family of committed vegans for the animals, and they really appreciate vegans coming by (many of their customers are locals who don't care either way).

All their fried goodies are amazingly delicious... and definitely try what they call their "donut." It's like a stuffed, fried mochi ball, in savory and sweet versions. Oh, and their "che" is the best I've had in Vietnam! Maybe your only chance for authentic all-vegan street food in Vietnam, definitely in Hanoi... I can't recommend this place highly enough!

We arrived just after 6 on a weekday, and there were only a few things left - some filled buns and spring rolls. Tasty and friendly service, and we only paid about 40,000 between us.

Vegan spring rolls, vietnamese style 'donut' banh ran banh goi, sticky rice with sweet bean pudding (che). Very cheap and delicious

good flavor with these noodle mushroom stuffing empanada spring roll little heavier filling buy awesome! sit down and chill out

Was surprisingly easy to find, but there wasn't a lot of selection. I devoured numerous spring rolls and something that looked like an empanada. They were soooo delicious! Full of mushrooms, vermicelli and vegetables. I also liked getting to sit right on the street like everyone else =)

Tasty snack. I wouldn't recommend it as a full meal, but it's a really good snack for in between. and I love to try typical Vietnamese cuisine in a vegan version.
plus the woman is really nice :)

Super friendly service, and awesome food. You don't have to miss out on the street food experience as a vegan in Hanoi.

If you plan to visit Hanoi, dont miss this place !

VERY NICE owners (who are members of a buddhist family). If you guys dont have a chance to meet their youngest daughter (the only one in the family who speaks english well) when you come there, please dont worry. We should not ask too much from a vietnamese family when we want to try their LOCAL vegan food hein ? :D They are super nice and we are, too ;)

I am just so in love with this place and I come there every single time I am in Hanoi. The owners are also animal rights activists and they are the STRICT VEGANS for the animals. :)

Finally a possibility to eat Vietnamese vegan food from those small plastic chairs together with other Vietnamese people. The lady owning it is super friendly and very helpful,and the food is authentic and cheap. Very exciting to eat on the sidewalk :))

The nem (spring rolls) were my favorite and the Banh Goi (pillow cake) is a must try. Would definitely recommend to those travelling on a tight budget. They don't speak English however the service is great.

A small street food spot on a busy street. Seemed fine but not amazing. No English spoken.

I have eaten every item available here several times and they are all so delicious! it may be a little hard to find, but it is totally worth it. You won't find kinder people anywhere, and it's the best street food I had in Vietnam.
