Cheap and simple - Edit
I took all the 10.000₫ dishes so I didn’t expect too much for the price I’m paying. Very simple if you want something very cheap (falls apart)

Quiet little location, nice and peaceful. The food was quite delicious, a couple of interesting items I had yet to try in my travels. Everything on the menu is extremely cheap as well so it's brilliant value for money 🤙

Wouldn't mind coming back (3.5) - Edit
We tried the buffet and ate with 77K in two. No drinks.
Read moreA lot of tofu, arranged in ways that make it look like chicken or fish, and taste good enough. The staff was not especially friendly but neither were they rude.
If you want to go cheap it seems good enough.
P.S. The criterion used to calculate the cost of our plates remains obscure, even though the lady tried to explain it to us.
Pros: Great variety at the buffet
Cons: Most sides were tofu

Went for Dinner
Read moreGood options
Menu is cheap
4 stars for taste
3 for attitude
Not friendly towards foreigners!
You can select from the buffet 5k each they gave me the spoon to serve myself and I ended up paying 20 instead of 5 because the portion was big - clearly a scam
I also didn’t get the herbs and bean sprouts with the soup but all locals got it while ordering the same dish
Feel not welcomed here!
Pros: Cheap 20k for noodle soup, Delicious rice dumpling Banh beo
Cons: Charge more than double , Unfriendly

Small portions - Edit
Prices are low but portions are also small. The place is a bit smelly, but we chose it because the neighbouring one was a lot more smelly. After having the crispy pancake I left still feeling hungry but not willing to eat there anything more.

Disappointing - Edit
I went there, because I saw a lot of positive comments, but honestly it was very disappointing. First impression good - whole menu signed as vegan one. But it was not vegan, honestly I had some doubts if it is completely vegetarian (one thing seemed to be chicken, I am not sure). I ordered different dishes, all of them ware cold, even if they should be served warm. Not really recommended.

Rude staff, Bad Food - Edit
Staff were considerably ruder than other restaurants in Vietnam. There is another vegetarian restaurant accross the road go there instead. Lady at front counter shooed me away originally before a second lady pointed at a menu on the wall. Very confusing.

Mock meat gem near citadelle - Edit
This place serves food either alla carte or via buffet. We've had the latter and the various mock meats was very good. We've paid 130 dong for two plates and we're ready to conquer the citadelle. Not a must, but drop by if you're in the area
Read morePros: A lot of mock meat , All food mentioned vegan

Best meal in Vietnam! - Edit
Having visited this lovely restaurant twice on the two days I was in Hue I find the negative reviews about it extremely puzzling. Firstly, I find it extremely hard to believe that they would ever try to rip off anyone. This is a thoroughly local and authentic Vietnamese restaurant, very popular with locals, not touristy at all. And it's the touristy places where some might be tempted to start charging foreigners more. This isn't that kind of place. Previous claims of being cheated were more likely just misunderstanding. The staff speak no English at all.
Read moreI had the com dia which they recommended by eagerly pointing at it on the menu on the wall when I walked in. It cost 20,000 a plate and consisted of a delightful and tasty mixture of items on rice, together with a small cold soup and a cup of tea. It was not at all greasy or fake meat heavy, but had a number of vegetables. It consisted of the following. .. chicken type strips, bamboo shoots nicely sour, tofu in a tomato dressing, green beans, carrots, cabbage, meaty strips wrapped in a green leaf, and a savoury oblong of dry rice noodle. I found it all very tasty, but if you want to pep it up there is also a superb chilli paste in a jar on every table. I actually are there on Christmas day and it was certainly one of the most memorable Christmas dinners I've ever had!
Pros: Very tasty, Very cheap, Superb chilli paste on every table
Cons: No English spoken

Try Next Door - Edit
After these ladies tried to tout us as we walked past and started filling plates with rice without even ordering anything, we finally managed to establish that their prices for foreigners were 200-300% of that on their menu. Went next door instead: gorgeous people, lovely food.

Loved it, found it by accident - Edit
Amazing taste, a bit on the salty side and very mock meat heavy but I don't mind. No English tho so it was a lot of body language and pointing. and no prices for the buffet style either but I can't imagine anyone exceeding 50k dong per bowl so it's a cheap feed

Cons: a bit too salty

Good food, good value - Edit
I ordered cờm chay (vegetable rice) which in veg restaurants usually involves a varied plate. Even so I was pleased with the variety of vegetables, tofu, rolls etc. Nothing too original, just good Vietnamese veg food.

Heavy meal - Edit
Their buffet is pretty big, but 80%+ is mock meat, so it's all super greasy and super salty. The rice they gave me with my meal wasn't nearly enough to get down all that salt. If you're in the mood for salty/fried mock meat you might like it, but the few veggie options in the buffet are also pretty greasy, so don't expect something fresh. It tasted good, it was just way to heavy.
Read moreIt's buffet style, and you just point to what you want, out of the many bowls (as pictured). The price is based on what and how much you ask for (and probably whether or not you're foreign). For me it was upwards of 60,000 dong. Not horrible, but still, 2 or 3 times what a similar meal is in other buffet style veg restaurants in Vietnam. They did tell me the price after I ordered and before I ate, however. So although the prices on the wall appear to be cheaper, I wasn't surprised or tricked into paying more after I ate, as another reviewer states.
Pros: large selection (of mock meats)
Cons: little variety, greasy/salty, expensive

cheap buffet - Edit
This place is really in one of those streets I'd rather visit by daylight. No tourists seen anywhere. They do not offer a menu and no english is spoken there, but a really nice buffet is offered. We payed 20.000 VND for one plate, beer is cheap as well. Not the cleanest place, but yummy.

Great food at a great price - Edit
Just went for lunch here. Just go to the buffet table, they will hand you a bowl of rice. I selected about 10 pieces of tofu and seitan. It was all delicious. They had tofu and seitan prepared in 10-12 different ways, and some delicious vegetables to put in your rice bowl. I think even if you stacked your bowl, it wouldn't be more than 50,000 dong. My bowl was 30,000 and we even got free tea. Best vegetarian restaurant I've found in 7 weeks in China and Vietnam. Go here...you won't be disappointed..I'm going back again.

Where the monks hang out - Edit
Went on a Monday afternoon, the place looks very cheap(for locals) and was full of Buddhist monks at the time. They didn't appear to have a menu or speak much(any) English. We were given an array of small noodle dishes and mock meats and some cold tea. The food was ok, a little bland but nice enough. The restaurant appeared to be a residential house, but there is an Enlgish sign outside. We (over)paid 50,000 dong for two people. Maybe we should have agreed a price before eating?
Read morePros: cheaper than restaurants catering to wea, reasonably healthy
Cons: overcharge westerners, no English menu

50 000 for two is overpaid, i guess if u overpaid then may be like 0,2 $.
