Lovely!

It is lovely and warm place with great vegan food!

It is close to Embassy of Laos, so after applying for visa or picking it up, it is convenient to stop by😊

Very cheap, great banh mi

We had two tofu ball bahn mis and the crispy pillow dumplings. Both were delicious and only cost 100VND in total. Felt very authentic sitting on the street too. Would really recommend. There's no drinks on the menu but there's a street vendor within the outdoor seating who you can get drinks from

Pros: Lots of choices , Lots of flavour, Very cheap

Would like to love the food as much as their story!

Loved the place and their story. I ordered spring rolls and a falafel bahn mi, but it just wasn't as good as expected after reading all the reviews. Would still recommend and will probably go back to try some other meals.

Came back for the dumplings and pho. The dumplings are amazing!

So glad we went

The Bahn Mi with tofu balls and peanut sauce was superior to any of the other Bahn Mi's we had here in Hanoi! The mixed Bahn Mi was a bit bland unfortunately. The fried dumpling was amazing though so overall this place is very much worth the visit.

We thought it would be difficult to find, but as soon as we looked lost a street vendor pointed us in the right direction!

Their story and food

Nourish my soul. Follow the signs outside or ask some local vendors. A small place making a big difference, Vegan Banh Mi is delicious and top rated for a reason. A humble and welcoming stop with free drinking water and bottle refills 🥰🙏🏽🌿

hidden place

The restaurant is hidden, away from the street, only a sign shows where it is.

A nice lady is working there, unfortunately she doesn't speak English, but she was super friendly. My banh mi was delicious and the price is fair too!

Lovely introduction to Bánh Mì for me

Excellent, delicious crispy bánh mì from a lovely little café. I also tried one of the soups (don't remember which one) which was deliciously sour and savoury. Lovely lovely place and my non-vegan friend who lives here comes regularly.

Pros: Friendly people, Delicious food, Feels good to support ethical vegans

Worth every dong

Fantastic meal, all vegan.
My favourite was the bao bun and the spring rolls. They also have free filtered water refills which was great- we filled out drink bottle.
Look at photos in reviews to find it easily- it helped me!

Pros: Taste, Value, Effort

Best Bánh Mì in town

They lost almost all their customers when turning vegan but kept serving vegan food. Lovely story 🌱💚

We literally ordered their whole menu and all their Bánh Mì tasted amazing.

The restaurant can be a bit tricky to find as you're literally eating in the family's living room(?).

Pros: Authentic , Tasteful , Cheap

Decent

I enjoy all food which is vegan so I had a lovely breakfast if banmhi here. But it is not fancy or luxurious by any means. I found the place clean and the food reasonable.

Pros: Enough options

Top Spot

I loved everything about this fabulous little gem that did take a little finding but so worth it! It’s a family’s dwelling and the food is therefore home cooked!

Pros: All of it, Home cooked , Exceptional value

It was good but…

I came there with very high expectations. The spring rolls and the Banh Mi were really good, but the room where you eat is not that nice, you want to leave quickly. I think it‘s a little bit overrated 😶

Brilliant and cheap

This place is such a hidden gem. There are more options than just banh mi to choose. I particularly like their crispy vegan puffs. Go here when I'm bored of my daily food.

Very good and such a fun vibe

If you want to be kind of cramped in an alleyway with a bunch of vegans with authentic banh mi and other tasty treats - this is the spot! I loved it. It was very tasty and the owners are incredibly kind.

Overrated

Based on the reviews, I felt the hype for a vegan bang mi. The restaurant is in the back alley, below a vegan couple’s home. It’s as “mom and pop” as can be. I had an authentic experience but was left unimpressed by the food.

The sandwich was tasty, but given the price and the ambience and the lack of attention from the owners, it wasn’t the best dining experience I had. Maybe I came at a bad time?

Pros: Vegan, Family-owned

Cons: Not worth the hype, Difficult to find, navigate to, High prices for quality & quantity

The best banh mi I've had in Vietnam

Ordered the tofu banh mi for 35k which was brilliant. Also ordered the pho which was a 6/10 again for 35k and then pillow dumplings for 30k.
Really great hole in the wall type restaurant with great prices and 10/10 banh mi !
Oh and they have free water refills !

Pros: Best banh mi , Free water refills , All vegan and good prices

Lovely food and message!

Had Bahn Mi & Noodles here and they were both delicious, it’s down an alley so not totally viable from street but worth going to find it!
The story of their business going vegan is inspiring especially considering the food culture in Vietnam!
Would highly recommend

Pros: Great food, Cheap, Warm welcome

Amazing bahn mi

We both had the tofu bahn mi and the flavour with peanuts was really good. It was quite dry without sauce, which I like, and there was sauce on the table so people can add as much as they like.

There's a great story to this restaurant which is set out on the menu, so it feels good to support this family-run vegan restaurant. They will also fill up your water bottle with filtered water before you leave.

Pros: Good portion size, Tasty tofu bahn mi, Will fill up your water bottle
