Wonderful - Edit
we came here after finding it on Happy Cow and we were not disappointed...our food was delicious and so were our drinks..it's so good that they don't use plastic straws but instead bamboo ones. This place is definitely worth a visit easy to find in the old quarter if you have a map.

Cons: alittle pricey

So and so - Edit
Me and my girlfriend really wanted to have the curry so we were quite disappointed when we were told it was finished (it was around 8pm on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant closes at 10).
Read moreWe ordered the lemongrass tofu then, which was not bad but not so special either, and not completely filling (if you're very hungry).
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed.
Pros: Relaxed atmosphere , English menu
Cons: Small portions , A bit pricey

Delicious but pricey - Edit
Jalus is a beautifully decorated 2nd floor restaurant. We ordered the vegan omelette and the lemongrass tofu - both were small, but flavorful. We also ordered two cookies for dessert - a bit dry.

Great food. - Edit
Found by chance as very near our hotel (Golden Sun Villa Hotel).
Read moreFantastic little place up stairs, so could be easy to miss if you are trying to find.
They are also selling non leather gifts, bags, and wallets made by locals.
The menu very extensive, lots of desserts to choose from, great drink range.
Food tasted fabulous, service was good. A little bit costly compared to what else is around, but worth it.
Nice decor, and lots of power points to charge your tech items - great for travellers.
Highly recommend that you make the effort to find this place.
Pros: Nice decor., Extensive menu., Love the chocolate cake
Cons: A little bit pricy

Jalus is 80% Perfect in every way - Edit
The interior of Jalus is beautiful. Wooden tables and chairs with artistic flairs of timber everywhere. There is a balcony overlooking the street below, but it gets really hot out there so I would suggest sitting inside.
Read moreThere is a really wide variety of food ranging from Curries to burgers to pizzas to kombucha.
My girlfriend and I ordered the Breakfast tofu Omelet, and the curry. The food was so close to perfect.
Unfortunately, the omelet was a little too oniony and bland. The curry, however, was large and in charge (of flavour.)
The banana/choc smoothie was also so close to perfect. The flavour was there, and delicious, but it was hidden behind too much ice. Less ice, and this smoothie would give me symptoms of crack dependence.
We sat next to two ladies that had the Burger and Pizza, and they said it was very filling and delicious.
As well as being 80% there, the food is a teensy bit expensive for Vietnam.
That said, we sat here for a few hours and worked online and it was fantastic. Waiters are really friendly and the vibe is relaxed.
Pros: Great atmosphere, Wide range of food, Super yummy curry
Cons: Food is 80% perfect, A little expensive for Vietnam

Good vegan food and atmosphere! - Edit
Pretty decent place with a nice menu, for both food and drinks (many desserts too). The restaurant is eco friendly and has a really cute ambiance. The food could be improved with a bit more spice/flavour but it's pretty good.
Read moreAs a vegan it's awesome being able to just order anything (even coffee milkshake and ice cream!) and just not have to worry about hidden dairy or egg!
It's definitely worth a visit but not as impressive as it may seem.
Pros: large menu, good location
Cons: lacks a bit of flavour

OK - Edit
I was really excited to try this place out because of the reviews I have heard about it. I bring my carnivore family with me to show them how wonderful vegan food can be, but honestly the food was a bit disappointing. We ordered a pesto pizza, spinach pasta and bean burger, all were just average and a bit bland. I like the bread they make with whole wheat flour and the crust of the pizza but not much else.. Really like the atmosphere of the place, and I appreciate that they make healthy wholesome food but taste is also important.

Good western mix - Edit
Interesting mix of western-style food. Great pesto pizza. Green smoothie! Nice mixed platter. Good to get some wholewheat bread and beans and take a break from faux meats in a lot of other places - which are great, too, don't get me wrong...!
Read morePros: tasty food, lovely restaurant, nice atmosphere
Cons: opens too late for breakfast, smallish serves of some dishes

It's a beautiful setting too :)

Very Good Food - Edit
Has we pass this Veggan restaurant while visiting the town, we decide to have a late lunch, it was nearly 2.30 and we were hungry.
Read moreAfter interring the alley from the street before going up, we were well received by the slimy young team. We quickly read the menU.
We order fresh veggies in rice paper and delicious peanut sauce, a nice portion of curry veg with pineapple and fresh soya bean, we also took a broccolis and rice with other stuff, it was interesting and tasty, big portion.
As food was good we say let’s try on more dish, my wife order a Quish with onion, soft soya curd and a great crust. We both have Hanoi tea, No Comment go try it…..
We end up with a frozen style soya cream dessert (special of the day) with maple syrup to share, it was delicious.
We must spend an hour 1/2 there it was relax and refreshing from the hot streets. People around us look like the wear doing some computer work while having drinks, most of others were eating.
The pleasant Owner was also doing her job to maintain good service as it was quiet full.
I don’t often eat vegan but it was a good change well-presented and tasty food, price was correct as we were satisfied. I have to say that since the last six days in Hanoi we only eat great food.
Enjoy your foodie trip

Highly recommend! - Edit
I loved this all vegan restaurant in Hanoi! It was delicious, and I enjoyed the modern decoration and design. All of the menu options include all of the ingredients. We need more restaurants like this :) I got the pumpkin burger (which was AWESOME) with the salad and "fries." My fiance got the red rice salad. We both loved our meals :)

Great place! must visit! - Edit
We really liked this place! It's not without its faults, but overall, we thought it was a wonderful place, and would eat there every night if we were in Hanoi for longer.
Read moreThe staff were super friendly, and our breakfast of scrambled tofu and smoothie was delicious!
We went back for an evening meal, and had the Tofu Veggie burger. I ordered normal potatoes with it, and my friend ordered sweet potatoes with it. We are pretty sure we got identical potatoes though- which let me be clear, are unfortunately NOT fries- they were more a kind of sloppy roast potato cut into strips (why can't they just make fries to go with a burger?)
The burger it's self was slightly undercooked, and REALLY soft, so squeezed out the sides after the first bite, but it was tasty.
My friend ordered a chocolate cake for desert, which was great, but I ordered a Ginger Cookie. Big mistake. It is very cheap (12,000) but what I got was a joke! It couldn't have been much bigger than a £2 coin! I get it didn't cost much, but seriously, why bother offering that? I actually laugh out loud when it was brought to me, dwarfed by the saucer it was presented on hahah!
It was rock solid too. BUT! Despite all that, I'd go back in a heartbeat, as it was a great place, great location, lovely balcony looking over the street, and loads of good looking things on the menu. I should have just sent the cookie back, but next time, I'll just enquire a bit more about each dish, and I'm sure it'd be fine! Please visit this place, as has good food, and as I understand, does some fine charity work!

Hi Adam, this is Nga, Jalus manager. Thank you so much for your feedback. We appreciate your opinion so that we can improve.
Read moreAbout the cookie, my staff has told me later that he made a mistake since we have 2 jars of cookies, one with smaller size to go with coffee complimetarily, which it's indeed no bigger than a £2 coin :) However the one for 12,000vnd is much bigger. I am so sorry for the mistake! We hope to see you again if you visit Hanoi in the next time :)
My warm regards

Great dining experience - Edit
Desperate for some vegan food, we found this place on tripadvisor. How lucky we have been! It is a bit out of the way of the old quarter party, but it is so worth it! My omnivor partner really enjoyed his vegan burger and energy drink, and I had their varied, balanced delicious platter and an Indian chai. Wow. Fresh beautiful spices! and they kept refilling our mayones! Intending to come there again if were in town.

AWESOME!! - Edit
Vegan travelers from California who are in the mecha of vegan food and I was so excited to find this place and try it. To say the food was incredible was an understatement!! Great atmostphere and some of the best vegan food I have had hands down!!
Read moreWe had the sweet potato pizza, Jalus salad, Jalus platter, pumpkin cake, and chia seed pudding and it was all delicious!! The salad was incredible and unique! We ended up getting a pizza to go as well as we knew we would be hungry after bar hopping ☺️
Only thing I wish is that they served wine but when we asked if we could grab a bottle from across the street and bring it in they said absolutely!
Can't wait to post about this place in a FB traveling group I am a part of where there are over 35,000 members. I would never do that if I didn't think the food was amazing!!
Oh and for those that complained about the price of the platters ($5 per entree at the most-super cheap compared to where I am from) please consider the ingredients they are using! Fresh fruits and veggies are the cheapest always!
Pros: Great Food , Great ambience , Prices
Cons: No wine

Past reviews said the pizza was really good, but we found it kind of disappointing. The Jalus platter was really good, though. Spinach pasta also good. Price is mid-range, but the type of food and ambience is very nice and different from your typical Vietnamese place. Worth a visit.

Food was fantastic, great service, nice music, friendly and attentive staff, superb around feeling. The place is subtlety scented with oils which really lifts the experience. The menu consists of western dishes, no Vietnamese food. Great wifi and good tables for working on laptop. Bright and modern interior. Loved it!

JALUS vegan
Hi,
Read moreThank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback to help us improve. I am sorry that you didnt have a good experience in your last time. Would you mind to be more specific when you said "bad mixed" and "awful service"? There are few things I wanted to tell you about the fact that our price has risen. After 3 months opened, I have added more imported ingredients that already have high price plus import tax. And step by step I have replaced commercial products to eco friendly and organic products. It's not just about the quality of my place but also I hope I can contribute something to improve our environment.
Secondly, about the cold food, please let me know which dish you ordered. There must be a mistake that day as we always cook after receiving orders. I would like to have you visit us again so that we can make a better visit for you. And if there is any thing I could do, please let me know!
Regards
Nga

Gorgeous food - Edit
The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated. Felt a bit too upmarket for me ha ha! The sweet potato pizza and pesto pizza were great and actually filling. A little on the expensive side (95k) but I think it's worth it. They have chocolate cake too ! And an amazing drink selection. even coffee with soy milk! seems hard to find here in Vietnam. Staff okay. Not overly friendly but not unfriendly either .

look up and find this awesome cafe! - Edit
When I arrived I was the only person there, which made me a little dubious. But soon people filtered in and out.. With a balcony seating area you can sit and watch the busy street go by from the comfort of eating delicious food.
Read moreFound on the second floor, accessible through a small corridor alley, and up a flight of stairs. The pizza was amazing, and the staff very welcoming and positive!
Lots of books on offer to read if you have the time to wait and wonder.
Pros: fast service, balcony seating area, small selection of great food
Cons: slightly more expensive, empty - need to advertise better
