Must visit while in Hanoi - Edit
Chayfood became our go-to place for dinner in Hanoi. We visited three times and tried a wide variety of dishes: Rice with Thai Curry, Vegan Burrito, Caramel Flan, Pate Bread, Mixed Brown Rice Noodle, Five Colour Spring Roll, Fried Spring Rolls (4 pcs), Pesto Pasta, Miso Ramen, and Cashew Pumpkin Soup.
Read moreThe miso ramen was average, and the caramel flan could have been a little sweeter, but everything else was delicious. The bread stood out in particular - perfectly crisp.
They were also kind enough to customize the pesto pasta for us, which we really appreciated.
It’s a great place to try vegan versions of traditional Vietnamese dishes.
Highly recommended!

Yummy food! - Edit
We had the pho summer rolls , which I really recommend! We also had wonton soup and pho which was very nice and a welcome change to some of the greasy fried food we’ve been having in Vietnam prior to this. Quick service as well.

Lovely food in scruffy surroundings - Edit
My partner had the mushroom porridge which was tasty and I had the vegan bun rieu which was tasty, too. Unfortunately all of the drinks we wanted to order weren't available. Waiters were rather cold and stand offish, tables and interior not clean and it all looked rather run down. Didn't expect such a cold atmosphere from a place which seems to be popular on both happy cow and Google.
Read moreWhat could they do to improve? Clean up the place and get a smile on their face :-)
Pros: Food
Cons: Dirty interior, Unfriendly, Unavailable drinks on menu

Good food, good service - Edit
Went here once and I can see why it’s so popular. The service is good, the restaurant is well take care of and comfortable and they have a mix of Vietnamese and western food. We tried the Bun Rieu, which tasted very delicious and was a big portion.
Read moreI was not super hungry but there were some smaller dishes as well, I got the bread with tofu mushroom sausage and cheese sauce. Apart from it having coriander, it was a great dish and the cheese sauce was very delicious! It’s not my favourite spot as it seems to attract mostly Westerners/tourists, but the food is great and worth a visit.

Best vegan food in Hanoi - Edit
And the owner is the nicest! We arrived and he just started closing, when he saw us he opened especially just for us and was so kind! Best Pho we’ve ever eaten.

Not great, shouldn’t be top rated - Edit
Not sure why this is the top rated vegan restaurant in Hanoi - maybe paid promotion?
Read moreThe food was below average: the bun rieu soup was okay (lacked some herbs), the mixed brown rice noodles were cold and tasteless.
Cons: Not worth it

Vegan Pho and rice paper rolls - Edit
Turns out my hotel is 50 m away from a vegan restaurant.
Read moreTried the Pho and fresh spring rolls, and they were good.
Went back for Bun Rieu ('Crab' noodle soup, with a tomato based broth) & a Winter Melon Monk fruit drink
See photos!

Not to be missed! - Edit
Now I'm usually very good at trying all the local spots when travelling, making sure I go to a new place for each meal but I unashamedly ate at CHAYFOOD 3 times while I was in Hanoi! Their pan fried mushroom pho was to die for!
Read moreIt's also open super early if you need somewhere to hide out after a night bus, very fun to watch the old quarter wake up from the balcony
