awesome banh mi! - Edit
Very nice lady and the banh mi was very delicious! My boyfriend (meat-eater) also loved the banh mi. I can recommend it to everyone. Cheap (vegan 10.000 dong) and very good.

Delicious cheap vegan rolls - Edit
Ate here for lunch and it was so good we ended up coming back for dinner. Only 10,000 vnd for a roll (about 70c au) with salad and mock meat. The roll was fresh and the mock meat is all home made and absolutely packs flavour. Both times we paid double this as it was worth a lot more and paying $1.40 AU for a roll is ridiculously cheap. The woman who makes the rolls is lovely as well so it makes it worth the tip. Would recommend to vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
Read moreLocation is slightly different from the map as it is on the other side of the road opposite the hotel and fashion cafe. If you're looking for a great meal for a cheap price this is the place to go!!

Delighted - Edit
I was there three times and the woman touched me with his delicated art each time. The first time, as i was waiting for my sandwich, a poor man passed and she let all things down and run quickly for giving him some money. She has very few, but she gives away for others and make animal compasionated sandwitches in a country where animal care and animal rights are not really known. You can get an animal cruelty free sandwitch for 10000 dongs (about 50 dollar cent or 40 euro cent). I suggest each of us pay her without comments the price we would pay for the same in our own countries, that is about ten times 10000 dongs = 100000 dongs. I did it, and i will never forgett the indescriptible expression of her eyes. You can be sure, never would you get a better karma as when supporting this wonderfull woman :) And doing so are you also a force of the karma for she :) All the best

Hit the spot! closer to the centre than shown - Edit
Great little sandwich cart and just a few minutes up the street from where I was staying - I regularly popped by several times and took a sandwich (or two!) to the beach with a smoothie for an early lunch.
Read moreThe lady is friendly and always smiling, even when you seem to have woken her up from her afternoon nap in her chair. She doesn't always add the tomatoes, but is happy to do so when you ask for a couple of slices - thank you!
At one point, she seemed pretty busy, two monks on a motorbike, and another couple of orders, but she managed to look up, smile, and make a 'peace' sign, meaning 'two sandwiches to go?'
The listing on the map shows the cart a lot further up the street than it actually is, although it's correct when it mentions being right opposite the (small) Mai Huy Hotel and the Fashion Cafe.
For 10000 you can grab a couple, walk further up the street grab an excellent smoothie and walk across to the beach and enjoy a tasty meal. I would also suggest grabbing a couple of sandwiches before you head to the train station - they were great on the trip down to HCMC !
Pros: fresh and tasty, friendly and clean, inexpensive, fast, convenient

Brilliant! - Edit
Nearly missed this as not quite as on the directions. The stall is actually on the left before you turn right down the lane where it says it is opposite the hotel. But glad I found it. Superb, vegan unless you have the optional cheese the lady assured me. As others have said, she advised me that she and her family don't eat dairy or egg either. Delicios Ban Mi and so cheap. I'll be buying more and paying extra for what it is worth. Brilliant!

So So Yummy - Edit
We found it a little difficult to find vegetarian/vegan food near where we were staying in Nha Trang, but luckily we were just around the corner from this vegetarian street cart and found these rolls so delicious that we had them everyday for lunch and even for dinner one night. They are so cheap at 10,000VND each and filling as well. The lady that makes them is so sweet and friendly. Definitely worth trying.

you will buy the second one, the third one... - Edit
My background is Vietnamese so I'm no stranger to the ubiquitous Vietnamese bread roll. I'm also NOT a vegetarian. I only took my vegetarian friend here during our couple-of-days stay here in Nha Trang.
Read moreThe bread roll tasted "Amazing!" even when I compare them to other non-vegetarian bread roll in other parts of Vietnam. I believe it was the blend of excellent pickles and the tomato sauce; very savoury and tangy.
Despite Nha Trang's excellent options for vegetarians, including the restaurant inside Long Son Buddhist temple, we visited this place a total of 4 times; that was 10 bread rolls between us 2.
Even for Vietnamese standard, 10,000 dong (USD0.50) for a breadroll is cheap! So I had a chat with her with my limited Vietnamese. It turned out, it was because her store was next to a temple and she was a touch religious so she wasn't entirely out for profit. And that she hasn't increased her price for several years.
Our last visit to her cart didn't involve me. I stayed away because she was tooooo friendly :) and we had a plane to catch so I sent my friend in to get us 4 bread rolls if you were wondering about the 10 rolls in 4 visits.
Definitely a must for vegetarian or even carnivores like myself.

Great mock meat baguette stand - Edit
This little stand is a bit hard to find but is awesome once you do. She has four different mock meats and doesn't serve any meat. She was so nice and passionate about her food.
Read moreShe wasn't quite opposite the hotel like the directions say. Her stand was on the opposite corner of the intersection. Dont give up! Its worth the hunt.
Pros: Cheap, friendly

Love, love, love! - Edit
I am completely in love with the sandwiches from this place! I think I ate 6 or maybe 7 in two days and I happily paid more than the 10,000 VND for each and every one. The lady running the stall was so friendly and we chatted about how the butter and cheese were only on the stall for other people and that her and her family don't eat those. Without a doubt the best sandwiches I've ever eaten and I've eaten some delicious sandwiches in my time!

Really good and cheap sandwiches - Edit
It was not so easy to find the place, because it's so small - but it's absolutely worth it!
Read moreThe sandwiches you get are very tasty with vegetables and 3 kinds of self-made mockmeat. The owner ist so nice, and the sandwiches are very cheap. During our stay we bought 7 of them, it was great to take some with us on an early bus.
If you're vegan, make sure to order without cheese!

Amazing is all I can say - Edit
We were so hungry by the time we found the cart that we bought two bahn mi each to eat on the spot and two bahn mi each to take away. Very tasty, fresh and clean for Vietnam standards.
Read moreThe lady is really sweet.
The best bahn mi in Vietnam. Don't miss this cart!
Pros: Very tasty, cheap, generous portion, Lovely lady, The best bahn mi
Cons: It was hard to find the cart

Delicious and Virtually Free - Edit
The price of these sandwiches is negligible. It equates to about US$0.50. I got 6 from her during my stay and paid double for all of them. A whopping $6 investment.
Read moreThe taste and vegan-ness of these could easily justify charging 10x. Delicious, fresh, crispy, crunchy, spicy... It's like everything one could hope for in a sandwich. The location on this map is just the intersection. Her cart is located a few meters to the south of the intersection and on the west side of the street. Umbrella in green and red and it sits in front of a yellow building.
This is a must-try place in Nha Trang.

Best find yet! - Edit
Though this wasn't a com chay buffet, these sandwiches were amazing and for 50 cents each, you can't get a better deal for lunch anywhere. Conveniently, this cart was located just outside our hotel, so we got to eat there twice, and was just as amazing the second time. The baguette was warm, contents were delicious and the lady serving them was very friendly as well! Definitely worth a taste as a meal or to-go for a bus ride!

best Bahn mi ever - Edit
This food cart wasn't super easy to find, it's really small and nondescript I had to ask a few people for directions, by the time I found it I was so excited. It was worth it. We have Bahn mi often where I'm from, usually just tofu and salad. This was unlike anything I'd ever had before. Less fillings than if have at home, but this was because the flavours were so amazing and unique, you didn't need as many fillings. We had this twice in the same day, the second time we had it take away because we were leaving nha trang, and it was still good a few hours later. The lady who owns it is really friendly, and it is so cheap, 10,000 dong. Worth going to nha trang just for this!
Read morePros: delicious and unique, cheap and friendly, got to sit on the street and eat from a food cart,

Best vege sandwich! - Edit
Despite Nha Trang having become pretty much a Russian colony, I still have a reason to go back: having more of those yummy, incredibly cheap and tasty sandwiches! As of March 2014, they only cost VND10,000 a piece.

Best Sandwiches in Vietnam....Ridiculously Cheap - Edit
Visited in November 2013 after finding on happy cow. Im making a point of writing this review first after four and a half months in South East Asia and having been to ample. And I feel with good reason.
Read moreThis is a sandwich stall run and owned by an amazingly lovely Vietnamese lady. The lady who owns this became a fast friend in the few days I was in Nha Trang, I visited several times. The cost of a sandwich is wait for it 10000 dong, or 15000 dong with cheese.....this equates to 30p and 50p respectively. For this you get a packed baguette fully of salad and mock meats. The sandwiches themselves are packed full and delicious (and note im not usually a huge fan of mock meats). I took a fellow backpacker friend there for lunch and even as a sworn carnivore he was highly impressed.
Absolute no brainer...when in Nha Trang...Eat here!!
Pros: Delicious, Lovely Owner, Very Cheap

Good and cheap - Edit
This is a tiny food cart on the left side of the raod that is marked with the word Chay. Make sure you ask for no cheese if you are vegan (it's also 5000VND cheeper!) The lady who runs it is friendly and chatty and put out stools for us to sit and eat at. Good cheep food near the tourist area.
Read morePros: cheep, tastey
