An absolute MUST in Hanoi

An absolute MUST if you’re staying in Hanoi. I’ve never had such an amazing visit to a restaurant, this was by far the best experience in Vietnam. The food was cheap and absolutely delicious and the little daughter of the owners speaks English fluently. It’s inspiring to meet a young person with such a broad view on the world. Her knowledge in veganism and the environment is amazing. Her mother was very warm and we were sad to leave. This definitely wasn’t the last time we visited that place.

Pros: Great food, Cheap, Great Hospitality

LOVE

Loved this authentic, tiny restaurant! The menu was small but all vegan and delicious! We tried both of the bahn mi options and the pillow donut. The ingredients are fresh and prepared right in front of you. It’s family owned and they are super friendly😄Definitely going to be frequenting this place. Highly recommend!

Pros: all vegan, authentic Vietnamese food , cheap

Vegan Gem

They are friendly, it was raining and gave me a towel to dry my face. Unfortunately they had run out of spring rolls, noodles, no pumpkin sauce, which says great things about the local. I recommend the original over the meatless. The "donut" is also tasty. I will definitely go again when I am back in Hanoi.

Pros: Simple , Tasty, Fast, Cheap

Cons: Not enough filling, Solds out early, Limited options

Sold out

Never actually got to eat here because they had sold out of food by 6pm, so just be careful about what time you go!

Absolutely delicious

We ate here for our first meal in Vietnam and was not disappointed! They had sold out of the meatless Banh mi so we had the original one with mayo and we thought it was delicious. The bread was warm and crispy on the outside and soft inside. We also had the donuts which are savoury and great, as well as the spring rolls which were equally as delicious and fried fresh for order.

Original Bahn Mi was 20k
1 donut thing was 10k
Plate or rice noodles herbs and 4 fried spring rolls was 30k

Had a huge meal for 2 for under £3!

Pros: Delicious , Cheap, Friendly staff

Fabulous!

It was pouring rain but I wanted to get out and eat some real food. Thanks to the previous reviews, I found it pretty easily. Look for signs saying Banh Mi Chay on the street, then go down a narrow passageway. Some of the photos show stools on the sidewalk, but I was happy to see it is indoors and dry. I had the Original Banh Mi, fried spring roll and pillow donut. All very good. I’ll probably be back before I leave town.

Tastiest sandwich I've ever had

We went there twice during our stay in Hanoi just because how good it is. The Banh Mis are heavenly. Crispy, but soft bread filled with delicious vegetables, tofu and vegan mayo or punmpkin sauce. As with every other Vegan place It's in an alley, but It's easy to find. The owners are really kind and they have a daughter who speaks very good English. A must if you're staying in Hanoi!

Pros: Everything is delicious and very cheap!

Cons: None

Do yourself a favor and go here!

The food here is some of the absolute best I've had in Vietnam, scratch that - ever! And cheap too. Try the banh mis, they are just perfect. They also have some other items. The place is sightly hidden, so look carefully.

Cozy homey vegan place

This is my first vegan meal in Hanoi. The meals are inexpensive yet tastily authentic of Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered all items off the menu for less than 100K VND. The daughter of the owner speaks very good English and is very woke for a kid her age 😁. Highly recommended for vegan travellers in Hanoi.

Pros: Inexpensive menu, Delicious authentic Vietnamese food

Cons: Only few meal options available

Lovely family

Got there at the end of the day and was hoping to get a bahn mi (plus one for the train). Though they were out of the bread, I did get the last of some fried spring rolls (plus some for the train). Really lovely family, they even gave me some bananas for breakfast on the train. "We have sooooo many bananas!" the 5 y.o. told me before offering them up.

Pros: Great family, Cheap and yum, Real local feel

Best Food and Company in Hanoi!

What an incredible place! The food is excellent and, what is more, the company is the best you will have for your whole trip in Vietnam. The place is run by a vegan buddhist family so I got to sit and talk with their daughter, De, and talk about Canada, the snow, and the « duck song » (the one who waddles away because the lemonade stand doesn’t have grapes) while I had my last dinner in Vietnam. It was the highlight of my trip! I highly encourage going there and trying out what they have to offer and putting in a big order :). Also, be sure to ask your air bnb or wherever you are staying to add them to their lists of vegan recommendations in town!

Pros: Purely vegan, Great company!, The kids are completely fluent in English!

Worth the trek

Small establishment in an alley about a 20 minute walk from the main old quarter area. I arrived probably around noon or 12:30, and was promptly greeted. Unfortunately, by that time all items were sold out except for two banh mi options. I had the "meatless banh mi" and it was tasty--the veggies were fresh, the faux meat was seasoned well, and the vegan mayo was nice. The other patrons seemed to be local workers on their lunch break, so I take that as a good sign! It was only 23K which was very reasonable considering how good quality it was.

Great vegan banh my

Great banh my @ very good price (less than USD1). The owners are a very nice Buddhist couple.

You can also choose vegan pillow cake or spring roll, but might not be as impressive as the banh my itself

Pros: Low price , Great food quality, Offer free delivery service within 2km

Cons: Quite small restaurant

Banh mi

Pour déguster un Banh mi vegan sur le pouce, voilà un coin à explorer. Dans une impasse, on se pose dans un coin de salon pour tester et apprécier le fameux sandwich version vegan. Attention à ne pas arriver trop tard car cela ferme tôt et le stock est limité.

Pros: Vegan, Très bon marché

Juste un conseil, n’y allez pas trop tard, malheureusement pour nous, nous sommes arrivés à 18h45 et il ne restait que 2 ban my...juste assez pour goûter et nous donner l’envie d’y retourner!! Une famille absolument charmante et une cuisine de rue excellente et 100% Vegan 😃

Great food and lovely family

I was happy to be able to try the famous vietnamese streetfood and it was very much worth it. Especially the banh mi’s were flavourful, as well as the spring rolls. We were kindly greeted by the nice family who runs it and talked to the kids while waiting for our food. Thank you!

Pros: Vegan Streetfood, Good taste, Heartwarming family

Local. Affordable. Good.

Perfect place to enjoy a super local, vegan and affordable dish. Family-owned, everything is cooked on demand and you can see they are cooking with passion. I really love this meal, especially the dumplings.

Pros: Family-owned , Affordable , Local
