Simple but tasty - Edit
We had two tofu dishes(pineapple chili and lemongrass). Both were good and each portion had about 300g of tofu and not much vegetables. If you are not eating alone, I recommend having one tofu dish and another one with only vegetables. Fresh juices are good too. The owner is very friendly.
Read morePros: Lots of options , Knows what vegan means, Cheap
Cons: The dishes could have more garnish(herbs etc)

Fresh and really tasty vietnamese food! - Edit
The owner of the restaurant is so nice! He offers free snacks, free fruit (banana), free tea and from 7pm-9pm free beer. He speaks pretty good English and knows what vegan is. He also recommends some dishes. The tofu can be little bit oily but the spices used are perfect. I can really recommend the country style tofu with pineapple, tomato, lemon grass etc.
Read morePros: really nice owner (+ free snacks and drinks), tasty vegan options, old school hiphop music in the background
Cons: can be quite oily

Nice place - Edit
Nice little place in Ninh Binh. Owner was really welcoming and had good chat! A group of four of us shared pineapple tofu, lemongrass chilli tofu and spring rolls. All the food was tasty, with the price and portions being really good.
Read moreFree beer between 7pm and 9pm is also a massive plus! Good music as well!
Only downside is not loads of things appealed to me on the menu, but I guess that’s personal preference!
Pros: Good amount of vegan options, Friendly owner, Cheap and free beer
Cons: Serves meat

Would give it 5 stars - Edit
Absolutely amazing food and the owner puts himself completely out for you. Gave us complimentary tea and gorgeous juicy pineapple for dessert. We were a group of 7 with various dietary preferences (enthusiastic carnivores and exigent vegans) and everyone was raving about the size and the taste of the dishes! Really highly recommended! We weren’t sure about it at first, because the restaurant opposite was full and this one empty, yet because of the ratings here and Happy Cow we made the leap and were truly delighted! Thank you so much! (vietnamese coffee was excellent and really cheap too)
Read morePros: amazing owner and who cares for your experience, free complimentary tea or beer (7-9pm), great vegan/veggie selection

Happy Place, reopened - Edit
Hey guys,
Read moreI just came to this place and it actually reopened today.
You have a vegetarian menu wich turned out to be fully vegan. They use vegetable oil and no ingredients like e.g. fish sauce to cook their meals.
The owner Han (hope it's spelled right) is a beautiful character and has good english knowledge so i highly recommend it. Also have a chat with him and enjoy. :)
I tried just simple noodles with veg and the portion was also bigger than expected.
It is a family buisness and the prices are between 40-60k for a meal.

Gem amongst other gems! - Edit
This place and the two other places opposite it which also serve vegetarian options all have the best tofu I've ever tasted. Lovely people, lovely atmosphere, big cosy home cooked meals. Best tofu of my life. Highly recommend this town and this restaurant, and if its closed, pop across to the old couple across the road and try a tofu banh mi!

Amazing local service, owner even gave me a ride to train station! - Edit
This restaurant was right next to my hostel, and had a big sign saying vegetarian options so I went to check it out.
Read moreA lot of places in Asia are a bit sketchy when it comes to wether or not the food is pure vegetarian (for example fish sauce or bone broth in soups), but the owner quickly put my mind at rest with his good English. He and his wife are just so friendly too!
He brought out some free rice crackers and green tea for me as a starter, and free pineapple at the end. Portions are also very big, even the 'small' sizes. Anyway he recommended small, saying the portion is big enough. He didn't try to sell me larger portions. I ended up going back 3 more times because the owner is so nice and food is great and cheap. Really has a local feel.
On the last day I told him it was the last time I'd be eating as I was going to the train station. He told me to come back at 10pm and I can jump on his motorbike and he can take me. At the station he gave me a hug and wished me good travels, and went off really quickly, as if to say 'I don't expect a tip'.
Really recommend this place! Owner restored my faith in Vietnam after experiencing people always usually trying to get money from you.
Pros: Amazing smiley service, Cheap and local, Big portions

Great food, price and owner - Edit
Would have given 5 stars if happy cow let me! The owner (Ha) was super friendly, gave all customers a free beer, and took my friend to a pharmacy that was 1.5 km away. The food was also very good and you had the choice between small or large (but small should do you fine)!

I was quite pleased with the service and quality of the food here. Good sized portions, and the owner kept making sure we had everything we need and even offered a few free goodies. Would give 5 stars if Happy Cow would allow it.
