Pretty good

Got a pretty good sandwich for 13,000 (18 with cheese). Went back the day after (a Saturday) but she was closed. Not sure if this was a one off or not.

Best in town?

Went there to see for myself if they really were as good as others have said. Think I've been there 4 times since and had a total of 9 and still looking forward to tomorrow so I can swing by and get a few more for breakfast.
Truly delicious and very cheap. Not the biggest baguettes, but as they are extremly cheap you can just get more of them.
The lady is indeed friendly although we don't exchange more than hand signals, payment and smiles.

Pros: Cheap, Quick service, Smiles

PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT! Went there today to look for it, but couldn’t find it.. Can you please help me asap, because I am really hyped on tasting these❤️
When does she open/close?

Boijt

It wasn't opened today it seemed, dunno why, maybe the heavy rain. Imagine my disappointment :(
I went round at 6:30 and then again around lunch but the stall was not operating. We'll have to try our luck again tomorrow. I think the address/positioning via the HappyCow map is accurate, but it could be off.
Think she opens earlier than 8 am, atleast sometimes. Dunno about closing times.

Thanks! We were just there - at least we think so - and she wasn’t there.. Is it on a corner? There are some other food carts, but not hers..

It has not been open since 7 Nov . Its been sad and lonely under a blue cover since then.
Its not really the corner, but close to one... It has been between a hairdresser and seamstress and some other Banh Mi stands :)
Alot easier to find it when it's open.

best banh my in Vietnam

Dinh Thuy is the owner and so amazingly humble. People I know who eat meat say it's the best in Vietnam. In fact the texture and sweetness is incredible. They are so good I had to get four to eat when I took a long bus ride.

Pros: all vegan...and right near the backpacker area

Cons: none

The best banh mi in Vietnam!

I have tried many vegan banh mi throughout Vietnam and I think this one is my favourite ! Super cheap and friendly lady who sells them. I ordered 4 in the morning to share with my partner and returned for another 4 at lunch . Packed full of mock meats which we love , definitely check this place out if you are in nha Trang!

Pros: Tasty, Cheap , Full of mock meats

Lovely lady, great food and company

We went to the food cart and we had a delicious vegan baguette. It's served with 4 diferente mock meat that give you different textures and taste for when you are tired of the noodles soups. It was that good that we had to eat twice.
The lady is lovely she offered seats and talk with us while we rest a bit.

Very recomended and very good price!!

The best vegan bahn mi!

We ate here nearly everyday we were in Nha Trang. We have eaten vegan bahn mi all over Vietnam and this is hands down the best! Even better than the famous Anthony Bourdain approved one in Hoi An. The lady who runs this stall is friendly and humble and always had fruit for our children. The bahn mi is so tasty, crunchy and packed with flavour.

amazing banh mi!

this was our breakfast for two days in nha trang and oh so delicious!! a true life saver too, as good, affordable vegan food options here are rare. the lady always greeted with a smile, ordering was easy as there’s only two options - with or without cheese. without it’s 12.000 dong at the moment, with 17.000 - both is a steal! highly recommended!!

Pros: price, taste & quality, location: easy to find

Cons: not one.

If you like mock meat, this is the place for banh mi!

Delicious sandwiches for vegans, signage clearly states what is offered in both English and Russian. Offers a vegetarian option which includes spreadable cheese or a full vegan option (which is also cheaper which makes a nice change!)

Pros: lovely mock meats, friendly owner, CHEAP

This is an amazing Banh Mi - If you are Veggie or Vegan, you must go here!

We found this food cart thanks to the help of Happy Cow and we went each day for the remainder of our day in Nha Trang. The taste was amazing and the texture of the vegan 'meats' were very authentic. The lady was very accommodating as my boyfriend asked for no cucumber and she labelled them by putting an additional piece of cucumber inside the rubber band of my sandwich! A vegan banh mi is 12000 and a Veggie one with the addition of cheese is 17000, so an absolute bargain and so worth the price. I really can't rave about this food cart enough, but suffice to say I still find my mouth watering just thinking about them several weeks later!

Cheap and delicious

Came because of the great reviews and was not disappointed! Found this street food stall really easily using the map. 12000 vnd for a vegan Banh Mi- nice crunchy baguette filled with a couple of sauces, 3 different mock meats, cucumber, coriander and shredded carrot&cabbage. Optional dairy cheese for 5000 (not vegan).

Pros: cheap, FULL and multiple mock meats, Delicious

Cons: no seating

It was an awesome adventure!

It took me quite a long time to find this place because I wasn't sure about the exact location and didn't have any internet. With a paper map of a city segment that I got in the mall and the help of very nice locals, I found this tiny booth. But it was worth it! Indeed the sandwich was very very good and although, it was my first time trying faux meat, the teriyaki sauce with it was delicious. Also, it was very cheap, about 50 cents for a single sandwich that had everything but cheese in it. It was very nice to see a Happy Cow sticker on the booth too!

Pros: Delicious , Cheap, Vegan

Cons: A bit challenging to find, Very small, Very Addictive ))
