Unfortunately CLOSED

We tried to go there twice, was closed both times and didn't look like it has been open the last few weeks. Probably due to covid?

Okay

Nice that they have vegan options and the food tasted okay, but the restaurant charges for tap water.

Great food, Nice ambiance

The food was great, the tofu was perfect, very soft on the inside yet crispy on the outside. The vegan dish tasted great, although it did not satisfy my caloric needs. I was still hungry after finishing my meal. Many restaurants that cater to omnivores don't seem to realise that a meal that wAs originally put together to contain meat but has been veganised by just supplementing the meat with a meat replacement, will likely be a very low calorie meal because meat is much more calorically dense than tofu. Imho they should do more to up the calories of a veganised meal (e.g.: increase the potion for vegans (more rice and more tofu)).

I ended up ordering an additional serving of the same meal to satisfy my hunger. The food seemed low fat and healthy.

Good food, central location

Went to this place as I read they don't serve very spicy food - being pregnant, this was definitely a bonus. They have good vegan options, but the food is a bit bland. It's one thing to not serve spicy food, but this almost had no taste. I got the rice noodles with salad, spring rolls and a sauce on the side. The spring rolls were the tastiest of them all. It's a good option if you're in the city centre and they're reasonably priced for Copenhagen.

Pros: Reasonably priced, Central location, Generous portions

Cons: Tasteless food

Vietnamese with ample portions

A nice little spot to pop in, mostly for takeaway but a convenient location if you are in the town center.

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan items

Good Vietnamese food by Strøget

Not the best Vietnamese food I have had ever, but might be the best in Copenhagen. Not a lot of choices, but if you are shopping in Strøget, this is one of the better choices.

I enjoyed my meal, and might be back if convenience takes me back, although I was far from blown away.

Amazing vietnamese food

I will highly recommend this place, especially for people who loves Vietnamese food.
They have 4 vegan dishes, that all offers a wide and delicious variety of tastes and nuances.
The place is small and popular, so you might have trouble to find seatings if you come a large group in the "dinner rush hour". But the place offers take away too.

This place really have love for food. So go there for a delicious vegan taste experience.

Chao Viet Kitchen

Chao Viet Kitchen was a let-down (sadly). I was excited to try this place since they had a dedicated vegan menu but left feeling unsatisfied. I ordered #11 (a bun chay), and the dish just lacked flavor; however, the crispy spring roll was decent. I knocked one more star off because they charge $2 for tap water (I hadn’t encountered this anywhere else in Copenhagen) so I ended up splurging on a $4 bottled water instead. But really, $2 for tap water???

Vegan options

We had the vegan coconut curry and mushroom and tofu noodles. Both delicious, fresh and flavoursome. Reasonably priced. Place is a bit small and very humid but spotlessly clean. Will definitely return next time in Copenhagen.

Pros: Four vegan options, Flavoursome

Good!

The bun chay was great, but not the best Vietnamese food I’ve had as the dish would’ve been better with more potent flavors. There are not a lot of tables (two inside, excluding bar chairs), especially not for larger groups than 4. And it was very humid inside, must be very challenging for the staff.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Humid inside, Very few tables

Great vegan options!

Wow, this was good! I had the vegan coconut curry - they were out of tofu when we went, so I got the crispy fried mushrooms on top instead and I loved them! This was a fresh, tasty, filling meal and I would happily go back to try other dishes. The vegan options are in their own section of the menu, clearly labeled. There were four when we went. The place is a bit small, so I'd recommend going outside of typical lunch hours if you can, and also keep in mind that the restaurant is a bit warm and stuffy inside.

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan options

Cons: Restaurant was a bit too warm inside

Friendly place, delicious food!

Small, unassuming Vietnamese place in a very central location. They have a separate vegan section on the menu and make their own vegan "fish sauce". Me and wife shared the Goi Cuon Chay summer rolls as a starter and had a Bun Chay rice noodle bowl each for mains. Everything was delicious and fresh, with decent portions. We will definitely be back.

Pros: Fresh ingredients, Special vegan menu, Central location

Cons: No toilet on premises

The best Vietnamese food in CPH

A tiny place with very few tables, but the food is amazing! After I had tasted the vegan crispy tofu, I went there 3 days in a row and ate the same dish as I just could not get enough of it.

Pros: Tasty food, Refreshing drinks

Cons: Small place

Yummy

Saw this on happycow and had to give it a try. We were in the area and stopped in for lunch. My partner and I shared the fried tofu and mushroom dish and a rice noodle dish that was topped with chopped peanuts, sliced veggies, and a crispy spring roll. Both dishes were tasty.

Pros: authentic Vietnamese

Bland tastes, mediocre service

I had the bun chay, but there was not much taste to the dish. The portobello was the best part but the crispy tofu tasted like bland tofu.
The staff seemed a bit stressed out and the place was very humid!

Alright food in a small place

I love Vietnamese food and have been to many Vietnamese restaurants. This place was just alright. I would not mind going here again.
