Best vegan Pho - Edit
Best vegan food I have tried in Danang. I got the Pho here and haven't had better. I loved the banana pancakes, vegan coffee and the smoothies as well. Definitely worth the extra dollar.

Interesting, different dishes - Edit
Good service and a friendly welcome.
Wooden tables and chairs indoors, but open to the street so we saw a few insects creeping around.
Some interesting dishes to try, such as the Thali which came with dahl, 2 curries, roti bread, rice etc. Dahl was especially nice. Also tried the mushroom and tofu burger with chips. And the breaded tofu and lemongrass dish was really unusual and delicious.
Also fresh juices and smoothies.
A bit more expensive than some of the other local cafes but a wider range of dishes from around the world. Also, this is clearly a vegan cafe supporting animal rights and has programmes to help local poor people (e.g. pending meals, where you can pay for a meal that they will give away to someone who needs one).
Pros: all vegan!, Some different dishes from other local cafes.

Karma Waters is AWESOME! - Edit
I love Karma Waters! It's vegan, healthy, and they don't use MSG :) I've gone several times with my fiance and, between us, we've eaten the bean curry with dahl, fried spring rolls, Singapore noddles, fried noddles, and pho. All dishes were amazing!! The dahl is the best I've ever had. As a vegan in Da Nang, I love Karma Waters because I can trust it.
The staff is friendly. They don't speak very much English at all, so I had to use Google translate to make any adjustments to my order.
I recommend this place for vegans and non-vegans :)
Pros: Food! , Vegan, Nice and charitable business

exemplary vegan restaurant - Edit
I love this place. Even before I started eating, Karma Waters showed themselves as a true community and responsible place. They donate a percentage of their profits, feed hungry people, offer vegan cooking classes, and are responsible with preventing and utilizing waste.
I saw all of this before I tried their food, which was amazing!
I had the bean curry (indian style, crispy rice paper with spicy tofu salad, and bahn mi with vegan pork floss.
I also had the vegan vietnamese ca phe su da. This was the one this which was not great.
All of the food was extremely delicious and filling. It was not too salty or greasy. The price is higher than average, but it comes with great quality and supports meaningful causes.
Please support this establishment! My only regret is only coming here one time.

Pros: vegan, freshly made

Great food - Edit
Had a vey nice lunch there, the food was fresh, healthy, nice flavours, and the menu had many great options. I visited on a quiet, rainy day - as soon as we ordered, they started chopping the vegetables and preparing everything from scratch. I had the sweet and sour soup, and fried noodles which came with lots of vegetables. The portions were generous and unfortunately I couldn't finish it all. I would definitely go back to try the other options of many salads, soups, curries, and Vietnamese favourites.

what a great find - Edit
What a surprise to find this little gem. Luckily they have a branch in Hoian too. I really loved the carrot and onion salad the bean sprout salad was a little bland. I also had the pho which was awesome and I had the turmeric rice again a nice portion and great flavor and the Breyani which as a little small and not too flavorful. The carrot and beet soup was also amazing. All in all to find an organic vegan restaurant was amazing. I ate there 3 times in two days and I am raw till 4 so had to squeeze in a late lunch and dinner one day.
If the owner is there she speaks amazing English.

Delicious!! - Edit
Watch out: the map shows the wrong place but the address is right!
They offer a great variety of vietnamese, indian and european food - all vegan. And many different fresh juices and smoothies.
We had a tomato-tofu-soup, tofu-mushroom-rice, an indian bean dish, smoothies and banana pancakes - and it was all simply delicious! The waitress cooked it all by herself in the open kitchen behind, everything was fresh and clean. When we ordered the pancakes she went into the kitchen, took a fresh banana and made fantastic pancakes in 5 minutes, yummy! :) Too sad we discovered that place on our last day in Da nang!
Pros: delicious food!, fresh, clean, cozy
Cons: none

Very Very Good - Edit
Eating at the restaurant right now...although the in app directions on Google maps was incorrect but close.
Carrot juice without ice was perfect and just like carrot should taste.
Sweet and sour soup was different than traditional but delicious. Breyani was amazing...loved it. A bit more expensive for the Breyani at 90,000 but worth it. Big meal...very tasty and filling. The spicy vegetables with rice crackers had very tasty wheat tofu and is a very big portion. The bean and carrot soup is a big portion and served cold. Not the best option unless you love lots of beetroot. Sharing is a good option for the latter. Would eat here again.....and again. Has free wifi.
Pros: Menu Choice, Clean, Tasty Food
Cons: Most Dishes Have Tofu, English, Expensive Side

An absolute must if you come to Da Nang - Edit
Cosy, friendly place in a quiet alley in central Da Nang. Excellent, creative cuisine - not cheap, but worth the money. Meet the owners of this family-run business, who are vegans since many years and great believers in a sustainable lifestyle. And meet Tiger, their lovely cat. ^_^

It changed my stay (and impressions) of Da Nang - Edit
Sometimes a humble place like a restaurant can change your impressions of a place. I stayed 3 weeks in Da Nang, and during the first two weeks I wasn't completely happy with what I found. Until I went to this restaurant, which happened to be 2 minutes from where I stayed. Wow ! It's a wonderful place, I can't recommend it in a more stronger way. What a relief to eat meals like that in Viet Nam ! The Pho is amazing, and so is the banana pancake. I tried quite a few dishes, but not all, unfortunately. I also recommend the byriani. But mostly, what is remarkable on the menu, is the vietnamese specialities. Twice i also had a lovely breakfast with soups. The home made chili is delicious. The owners are extremely friendly. Thank you for these few days when I came to your restaurant at 7 pm ! Really enjoyed it.
Pros: excellent food, good value, friendly staff

Lovely little gem in the city! - Edit
This is the best vegan place, with proper coffee, I have found in central vietnam! The staff are all able to speak a bit of English, the prices are low, and everything is clean. The food is all made on sight and its really really good, sometimes they have baked goods and they are gluten free, anyway, the menu has a lot of variety. At least go in to say "hello" to the owner Paul, he's a lovely man and is so generous and helpful. His wife does most of the cooking and baking you may even sneak a peak of their little girls. It's reliable family restaurant that's open all day, cant ask for much more than that!
Wow, I really cant recommend it highly enough.
Pros: great food, inexpensive, wifi
Cons: beef restaurant next door
