Very friendly staff

The food is very good and cheap, especially as it’s located in central district 1. There’s a menu as well as the com chay ready cooked food. Some English is spoken. They have proper vegan banh mi not just bread and veg.

Pros: Cheap , Friendly , Good food.

Randomly open

Been staying down the road from this place and for 3 days it was consistently closed until today. I asked for Banh Mi and they had ran out around 3pm.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Randomly open

Great food cheap price

Owners are nice, lots of options.
I usually just get a veggie rice dish and you get to pick the toppings on your rice which is always less than 35k.

Very good Banh Mi

We had some Banh Mi for take away, which were really good and also cold nice. Nothing to complain for 20K each. Can’t say how the “real” food at the place is.

Had a mushroom Pho and some fresh spring rolls here, which were both full of flavour. Cheap too as I paid 37k for all of it!

Cheap and delish

They've got a decent order menu for very cheap (30-45 for entrees). And a bunch of traditional Vietnamese dishes I hadn't seen veganized elsewhere.

Vegan char siu Bahn mi

I love mock meat so this place was a DREAM. You can either choose a dish, get a rice platter and choose a few or get a Bahn mi. my partner got the platter and I got a Bahn mi... AMAZING and super cheap. 15k vnd for a Bahn mi. i had two. Char siu is crispy and chewy and the coating is sticky and amazing with crusty baguette. Loved it. Place is a bit dirty and the toilets are grim but if you're not precious about that kind of thing this place is well worth a visit.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Loads of choice

Cons: Dirty

Okay buffet / delicious banh mi

Came here for lunch and got the buffet - a plate of rice and you choose your own sides. Wasn’t my favourite as the buffet was mostly mock meat and not many vegetable dishes. Was a fairly small serving too, but for 25k it’s a cheap option for the area.
We also got a some banh mi (15k each) to take home for later, and these were amazing! They use a mock pork char siu on there that is unreal - sweet and salty and crispy and chewy, mmmmm.

Delicious banh mi!

This is a very lovely local place where you can find so many good vegan food! Try their vegan banh mi, only 15K. Also the ambience is great, sitting in between locals and monks :-)

Delicious food, some staff really unfriendly

The food here is amazing, one of the best I have eaten in Vietnam: 5 stars! However, some of the staff members are super unfriendly and look like they are annoyed. I went to eat here every day while in Saigon and everyday their face was the same.

Pros: Food is amazing

Cons: Some staffmembers very unfriendly

Great value

Probably the best value vegan meal in HCMC, although I couldn't work out if all the meat was vegan?

Good rice plate

Big menu but decided to go for the rice platter (22k) as I wanted to try a bit of everything! It was good but think I've had better in similar eateries around Vietnam. Would still recommend though.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious , English menu

For a local experience

Small eatery with local feel. When I went in the evening the family who runs it were inside and their children doing homework at a table. I had the Banh mi and first bite I found a hair. It’s Vietnam, deal with it! I still ate the Banh mi after and it was good. I also had mushroom rice and mango smoothie. Both were tasty but the mango smoothie was so good for the heat! All up was 70,000 dong. Great cheap meal. Recommend!

Banh mi plus more

I only got a Banh mi and that was five star worthy. Also tried rice dish and a variety of vegetables and mock meats. Not much English, but very friendly.
