Went back ! - Edit
I came here twice, being British I really enjoyed the vegan comfort foods. I had the roast and full English. I preferred the full English, but the roast had LOADS of gravy which was great. The desserts are also super tasty without being sickly. Had coffee with vegan condensed milk which I feel is rare. Owner was super friendly and welcoming, they gave me tips about being vegan in Vietnam. Highly recommend this place

Delicious comfort food - Edit
We were so excited to see the vast variety of our vegan favorites. We had the fish n chips and a Mexican dog with a banana muffin. Everything was scrumptious and lovely.

Unique experience for Vietnam - Edit
This place has a huge menu with a variety of cuisines. It was cool to see what non-traditional veganized dishes for vietnam could taste like given the local ingredients. The fish n chips were okay, hot dog was interesting but solid and the pizza was surprisingly the best for the way it looked coming out. Worth the try if you’re looking for some non Vietnamese vegan food.

Had the facon cashewburger one night, the Mexican chilli dog another night, both were lovely. The host is great, added some extra kick on the dog for me and happy to recommend items. Also showed me other good vegan eateries to visit. A must visit for vegan lovers in Ho Chi Minh city. 🤌

Amazing, home comfort food! - Edit
Everything I ate here tells me I should give this place a 5* rating. If you’ve been travelling Vietnam or live here, you know how many great local places there are to try, but this can lead to a huge amount of local Vietnamese food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After a while, you need something a little bit different. That’s where this place sits so well. If you want a great, westernised meal, this place is great! It genuinely had one of the best vegan fish and chips I’ve ever had. You can find better quality but not much better fulfilment from a meal than here.

Fabulous restaurant, cats and owner - Edit
We had the best time at The Filthy Vegan! The food was delicious - we had the pizza and a hotdog and they were insanely good. The cashew cheese is something to write home about. The cats and setting of the restaurant also really makes the experience! The restaurant is lovely, clean and relaxing and the cats are happy and affectionate! The owner is also has great chat. Thanks again😄

Friendly owner, western home vibes - 7/10 - Edit
This place really almost has a similar vibe to kind of a vegan pub in the UK, the owner is very friendly and helpful however the food lacked to me slightly, I was seeing all the other reviews and idk if something was wrong with me but maybe it just didn't suit my tastes.
Read moreFrom eating vietmamese food all the time and then switching to this maybe the juxtaposition is too much?
The pizza base wasn't as doughy and soft I would have enjoyed the toppings were good but the base dough just was too cracker like with hard bits in this was similar with the hot dog bun as well. The cheesy chips were not what I expected and didn't look the most appealing however they tasted pretty good. My shake I prefer a creamy sweet feel in the mouth and this was more smooth and pure, the brownie was more sponge than goo which is also just a preference thing.
Excellent service, homemade vibes decent food

Kieron is so so lovely! - Edit
The owner is a gem and the food is great! The location is easy get to, it’s above another business, the business downstairs very enthusiastically pointed out how to enter the venue. I had the mushroom pizza, the chocolate orange ganache and the best banter with the owner. It feels like you’ve come over to his house and you’re hanging out in his home.

A little bit hidden on the first floor of a building. I was welcomed by Kieron, the owner and his lovely cat sleeping. Good place if you want to try different food. Kieron is friendly and a OG Vegan and Saigonese and very frank. I like brownies and theirs are great. Cheers from the D9 guy ;)

Sometimes, you just need comforting junk food after days of noodles and banh mi! This was definitely the place to get that. The owner is charming, the cats are cute, and the food is great!

Stop you must! 🙌 - Edit
Since our arrival in Saigon, we have noticed that we often read reviews, both in Happy Cow and in the Google map of Filthy Vegan. These reviews are honest and authentic without giving too much away.🤗
Read moreWe realized that it was the owner of a restaurant who went out of his way to try and promote restaurants almost every day. It was certainly worth the trip to try it.
What a surprise it was when we went to dinner that he was there, and OMG, we liked him right away! What a fun person and his restaurant is just like him.😎😃
We ordered a burger, tosties and crisp in gravy. Usually we take pictures of what we eat to put in our reviews, but we were chatting with him and were so eager to taste that we forgot to take the pictures. That's why you see his restaurant and our empty plates.🤪😅😂
Seriously, take the time to try this restaurant with western food, it's worth the detour!😍🤩

Amazing! Thanks so much for your kind words! Lovely meeting you two too! And thanks for reviewing many other vegan restaurants here in Saigon. One big vegan family

Riquísimo!!! A Must-Visit when in Ho Chi Minh! - Edit
As someone who usually avoids Western food when in Asia, I was initially hesitant. However, after hearing so many glowing reviews from friends, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! The pizza I had was absolutely incredible - easily one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever tasted! What I loved most was how everything on the menu looked fresh and homemade.
Read moreI didn’t take a photo (as don't usually leave reviews), but the experience was so good that I had to make an exception. Will definitely be back to try more dishes from their menu! Highly recommend!
Pros: Amazing Food, Friendly Owner, Adorable Cats
Cons: A bit hard to find - so do your research first ;)

The legend continues - Edit
We've been coming to FV and its previous iteration, the Bookworm Cafe ever since we got together. In fact we first became an official couple partly thanks to Kieron. Whilst we don't often get the chance to go back as much as we would like, we still try to whenever we visit Saigon, and his Sunday Roasts are legendary. I always order at least two dishes whenever I visit, which never ceases to amaze everyone.
Read moreKeep it coming.
Pros: The food. Pretty much all of it. , The owner, Did I mention the food?
Cons: Deserves to be located somewhere like Nguyen Hue.
FilthyVegan.
Cheers Mark! Always great meeting you. Hopefully see you soon.
