aircon repair midst opening hours - Edit
I was asked to shift to a table 5ft from where the aircon was repairing / cleaning. They had water spraying out of the aircon. From where I sat, I had occasional special aircon water coming into my dish. I had the vegan omelet which was alright. It came with a salad which was heavily,overly drenched in balsamic. 2 slices of rye bread ( which I felt was the star of the dish) the omelet was very wet. The staff were nice.

bland - Edit
don't know why they got these positive reviews, but I guess that it's because of their lovely interior (that's also what attracted me at first) and if you order a salad dish it will be very so so, nothing special because it's a dish of raw veggies right? But I ordered a burger which was too terrible to eat and a dish of vietnamese noodles served with fried tofu (which was like leftover tofu then reheated in microwave) and some pieces of baked beans?? that I could not find any flavor.
Read moreI uploaded my meals too. This is actually the second time I eat at Jalus. The last time was in Tet holiday and they really served awful and very very bland food, I just come this time to see if there is a positive change but disappointed again.
Their staff also said that they buy veggies from supermarket and these vegetables are def not organic as they promoted. My girl friend got sick after trying their kombucha (which was not really like kombucha at all)
Their cakes are also too terrible. I could not finish them even for a bite. After all, for the money I have paid for my meal (~100.000 dong for a burger and ~100.000 for a viet bun noodles with leftover tofu (!) and 100.000 for 2 "cakes") I cannot understand why they could serve clients such BLAND food?? my gf also took photos of these "foods" to show ppl how terrible our meal was and we will never come back again.
Pros: Location, no mock meat
Cons: bland food

Breaks my heart to write this - Edit
Oh Jalus, oh Jalus. You were once the shining star in the Hanoi vegan community. Sorry, people. I have to tell you, Jalus has fallen from its previous glory. The menu has shrunk and doesn't include pizza anymore (yes, I take this as a personal slight!).
Read moreI ordered a mushroom-tofu burger. It came out cold, unceremoniously toppling over as the server slid it in front of me; a glob of cold 'caramelised' onion wobbling off the side, the final insult. Giant coalesced chunks of sweet potato fries and an awkward mound of sliced cabbage on the side. Sigh.
At least the server was a sweetheart. He noticed I'd had a hair cut.
I hate to turn people away, I really do. Especially when the vegan movement is picking up steam, but honestly you're probably better off going to Minh Chay just around the corner.
Sorry, Jalus.

Great atmosphere, delicious food - Edit
I loved this place! The food is delicious and nicely presented (although one time the curry was served pretty cold). The atmosphere is great, I loved the chilled vibes and I could sit there for hours after walking all day in busy Hanooi. The juices are great as well!
Read moreWe had a burger, a curry, the bean bowl, cake, coffee,.. basically we tasted the whole menu in the days we were in Hanoi, and the only negative thing I could find was the cake was a bit dry. Everything else was great!
Loved that both waiters recognised us every time and also after ten days we hadn't been there. They are very friendly and speak perfect English.
You can also buy the bamboo straws they use in their smoothies for 30.000 d/p.
Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Vegan super copieux - Edit
Super copieux mais pas forcément goûteux. Il manque quelques épices ou des assaisonements pour être vraiment inoubliable (sandwich black bean, burger black bean, bowl).
Read moreLes lasagnes ont une chapelure trop epaisse. Les sauces des salades sont fades.
Les gâteaux bons (il manque un peu de chocolat pour le choco cake). Les eaux rafraîchissantes.
Le cadre est sympa, les prix raisonnables.

Cute and delicious - Edit
So glad we found Jalus on Happy Cow and that it was literally next to our hotel! It's easy to miss bc there's just small sign in front of the small alley (sometimes people sit and block it) which you'll have to walk through to get the narrow winding stairs up to the restaurant. It's worth it once your get there! Cute and clean little place with a small patio bar seating. We had the delicious lasagna and braised tofu with mushrooms. Their soy cappuccino was a bit watered down for me but the juice I had was good. We tried coming back for dinner one night but it was closed (must have been Mon). We found that restaurants didn't have regular hrs during the Lunar New Year weeks, so call ahead if you can.

Best vegan food in Hanoi! - Edit
Loved this place so much, we went back twice. Everything on the menu is vegan and didn't notice any mock meats which is a nice change from other vegan places in Hanoi. Amazing rolls, especially the Autumn Roll and delicious pizzas. The restaurant is a cosy, modern space with optional seating at the balcony to observe local life while you tuck into your meal. Staff are really friendly too. They've also got a great vegan chocolate cake. Best way to end any meal!

Quite good vege food - Edit
A modest selection of generic vegetarian- all vegan - food, with some Vietnamese selections. Everything was good but not fabulous. Very clean and pleasant, small dining area.
Read morePros: good vegan food , not expensive, pleasant dining area in central location
Cons: good but not great food, modest selection, service was very slow when we were there

healthy choice - Edit
we were there twice; avocado cocoa mousse is recommendable; (vegan) whole grain bread e.g. served with soup is rather a rare find in Vietnam.
Read moreTo find it make sure you look for the sign, the restaurant is actually upstairs
Pros: many healthy choices, location , design and concept
Cons: price (in comparison)

Yummy little spot - Edit
Nice little vegan place with balcony overlooking the street. Some food was very good, service was slow.
Read moreAutumn rolls, very tasty indeed, with a curry-tofu type of filling.
Pancakes, small portion but also very tasty. Loving the food here.
Omelette, ech. Nothing like an omelette, and more importantly, not good. Like eating onions. Good toast though.
Chocolate cake, meh. Not very chocolate, not very moist, nothing in the way of frosting.
Pros: Good food, if you order right
Cons: Pricey for Hanoi, relaxed service

Delicious + will be back! - Edit
Food was so delicious here, I had a salad and a fresh juice. I brought a non vegetarian with me and he loved it as well. The prices were a bit high but I enjoyed every last bite so it was worth it for me. I will be in Hanoi for the next month and will definitely be attending this place again.

Awesome find - Edit
Found this gem whilst travelling through Vietnam, and it was so far beyond my expectations. The food was amazing, and so filling! Kind of pricey by Vietnam standards, but still much cheaper than anything at home. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

wonderful food - Edit
We came here for our first meal in Hanoi and it did not disappoint. We sat outside on the balcony and watched the busy street below. The food was really tasty, try the autumn rolls they're amazing. The service was great and it had a wonderful atmosphere.

Nice for dinner - Edit
The pizza is nice and the tofu cream pasta was amazing. They are quite friendly and the atmosphere is good for working. If I wanted somewhere to sit in peace and have a coffee and do some work this would be the place.

0 stars - Edit
Actually it deserves $$$. I have been it $$$ places in Hanoi that were cheaper. The soup of the day was solid for 50k but really small and the quiche for 85k is already one of the cheaper mains. The quiche was ok but the portion not really big. Drinks are very expensive
Read moreStaff is very friendly.
The atmosphere is very "hippy-hipster" and there's a lot of detox drinks and stuff for eco fans. Sadly the Kombucha tea tried to kill my boyfriend and me. It tasted like pure vinegar and made both of us, especially me, feel sick with stomach pain for an hour or so. This is actually the reason why I can't give any stars.
Cons: expensive, not good for the price

Kind of hit and miss food. - Edit
I've been here several times and can honestly say the food is a bit hit and miss. The smoothies are great, and I love that you are guaranteed for everything to be vegan however a couple of times that I have visited they didn't have half of the things on the menu and have got my order wrong a couple of times. The decor is pretty shabby and the place definitely needs a revamp- they could do so much more with the place.
Read moreThe pizzas were average, a little dry and the roasted sweet potatoes have been a bit weird on texture the last couple of times of visiting. The waiter explained that it isn't the best potato season...well perhaps don't offer the chips if the produce isn't great?
The chocolate cake and avocado mousse were divine and I have popped in a few times to get my sweet tooth fix, however the cookies were disappointing. Tiny and dry!
Definitely in need of some improvements as it could be a great establishment!

Very good but poor execution - Edit
When arriving at Jalus all was good! Decor was beautiful, waiters were attentive and kind, air con and wifi. A beautiful place to relax.
Read moreAfter getting the menu we were super excited. Everything sounded great.
On this day we tried to order the Masala Chai & Chai latte but not available.
We opted for black bean burger, side of fries, vegan quiche, soy latte.
Meals are tiny, do not go here if your very hungry.
Fries were dry but vegan aioli was nice!
Quiche tasted good but was super small.
Soy latte was super watery..I even questioned if there was coffee in it or just watered down warm soy milk.
In a nutshell, all is perfect but food execution is poor for a high price in Hanoi.
Pros: decor, comfort, service
Cons: food, price
