Loved the Thai spicy hotpot

Hem Vegan is a vegan restaurant located in the Old quarter district, quite close to Hoan Kiem lake.

It's located in a small alley. Once you see the sign in front, keep walking straight until you find the restaurant.

The restaurant was busy and charging 1.5X prices on Lunar New Year eve, but food was good.

Delicious rice paper rolls. Yummy and spicy Thai hotpot, something I especially enjoyed on a chilly winter day.

Worth a visit.

Ok

When we visited most of the food wasn't available but there was an extra 30% charge because of the holidays which is fine but the food that we did get just wasn't filling and was quite bland.
FYI they don't take card payments and they don't know where any ATMs are in the city 🤦🏼‍♀️

Amazing food, good prices

We went back multiple times for their „sandwich“ to take it on trips with us because it even tastes delicious after a couple of hours.

Great food and cute cat

A little hidden away in an alley. The orange was super nice and a cute cat was running around :)
I tried the vegan pho and really liked it. Big portion

Vegan Hot Pot

We had the vegan Hot pot for two.
The food was very good. We also tried the chinese Bun which the owner said the newly tried to create. Very yummy!
Price was very good.

The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is a bit hidden between two buildings.
Would definitely recommend and go there again.

It’s okay

When you enter it, it looks like you’re about to enter a trap 😆 you go through a very narrow, long, dark corredor before you enter the place itself. Once you’re there it’s quite nice.
My husband’s food was good, but mine (miso soup) was very VERY bland (ironically I wonder if they forgot the miso). Also there’s one drink that is not vegan, but it clearly indicates it contains honey so it’s not hidden or trying to trick you.
It is quite cheap though, it just isn’t the restaurant you should bring your non-vegan friends 😅

Pros: Very affordable, Very friendly

Cons: My dish was very bland, One drink is not vegan

The definition of a hidden gem

This food was so good that I created a account just to rate this restaurant with 5 stars. Definitely worth to visit.

So good!

A hidden little gem at the end of an alley. I had a bahn mi which was amazing, the best I’ve had since being in Vietnam

Excellent

It's a really nice hidden away place.

Food was fresh and tasted great. Watch out for one waiter that likes to help you add chilli

Good food, would like a few more options

I ate here and got the banh mi stew - this was delicious and I feel would be an incredible dish to have if your ill! It was comforting food.

They serve Vietnamese local food here which is great! Unfortunately they have less than 10 options for food choices and I do think there should be around 10-20 overall. This would be my only request.

This place is priced great! As a vegan restaurant in the city they can up their prices higher than what you’d usually pay for the same meal in a meat restaurant so I really appreciate that this place didn’t do that! My meal was 70k overall including a bottle of water.

Also this place is down a long alley btw!

Pros: Banh mi stew, Comfort food

Cons: Amount of food and drink choices

Lovely little place

The pho and bun rieu were both fantastic and the bahn mi was so good I got it twice. Everything is full of flavor.

Just be aware that some of the drinks contain honey - this is not mentioned on the menu, but it's on the bill.

Best Pho I’ve had so far!

Clean restaurant offering fresh dishes, and the menu is straightforward and not overwhelming. I tried the pho and the Lemongrass Lemon drink and both were great!

Pros: Fresh, Clean, Friendly

Great place for a bite to eat

Opted for the Ban Mi and chia seed perilla and it was delicious. For the value of around £2, I can’t fault it. Definitely recommend

5 stars in vegan deliciousness

In the afternoon I wanted a Banh Mi just to satisfy my hunger for the day. I didn't expect to have a delicious toasted Banh Mi filled with vegan deliciousness and some homemade sauces. I especially liked the vegan mayo sauce!

There was no coffee on the menu, but I asked anyway 😅. They happily obliged and got me a delicious coffee!

I feel ready to tackle the rest of the day!

PS. Their other dishes also looks tasteful!
