Simply incredible, the buzz is real folks!

This was the one place we had to try after reading the reviews on Google and happy cow, but nothing prepared me for how incredible this place is! 3 of us are vegan chefs and I am very hard to please back home but Williams restaurant Katze, was some of the best food we have eaten. We ordered 2 portions of nem between 5 of us and a main each but food just kept coming it was so good great selection it was hard to choose! Great wine selection absolutely amazing service and exceptional value. William gives you his back story which was incredible he was a street kid who was given an opportunity and he took it, he has katze and works as a grab driver too for income and donates every year to orphaned kids it’s really incredible. I totally recommend if you are in Hanoi go and support this restaurant, and if you’re not in Hanoi get yourself over (we did) you will not be disappointed. It’s places like this that give us vegans the ability to travel and eat great quality food 💚
EDIT- We came back for a second night running ordered less starters and ended up with even more food! We get the sleeper bus tomorrow evening to Da Nong and debating coming for a third day in a row before our 16 hour journey!!!

Very tasty vegan extravaganza

My partner and my experience here was excellent! We ordered 4 dishes and ended up receiving many more - all were delish. My favourite meal was the BBQ chicken, as well as the spring rolls. All up our meal cost 335k, which is a bit pricier than other options - however, given the volume of food, I felt it was quite reasonable. The owner also had quite a wholesome story, and delivered great service, showing us how each dish was eaten.

Would definitely recommend 🙌🏻

Amazing tiny find!! Highly recommend

Many dishes for free and they keep filling them
Incredibly cheap. We paid less than 100 per person. Its a very small place. I highly recommend it if you walk by and they have a seat available.
And they even had an article on the wall from the dutch newspaper I read daily!

lovely little restaurant

It's a local restaurant, which serves only vegan food. The owner is really nice and in the end you'll get a letter, in which he explain his story. The food is really good and you will get more, than you ordered.

Pros: friendly staff, price, quantity

Cons: none

Delicious food and beautiful story

The food was amazing and the stuff was so nice. They give you free dishes and they are so abundant. The owner has a beautiful story and gives back to children organisations.

delicious

i read reviews saying this place was really good, and you can believe them all. a bunch of free food comes out and the banana soup thing they brought me both times was probably my favorite dish.

it was all so good that it was easy for me to finish all the dishes they brought. each time i got papaya salad and two other dishes.

i do feel like the price is a bit inflated to cover the “free” food they bring out, as the portions of the dishes you order are a bit smaller. however, it is an amazing and filling meal for cheap, and the free stuff is all great. i think you can refill it too but i’m not sure.

they do serve meat or fish, but the kitchens are separate and they have separate menus. you might be seated by someone eating it.
the owner feeds you the first time to show you how to eat some of the dishes. like someone else mentioned, you just gotta embrace it! he seems like a good dude and he’s passionate in helping children and donating money from the restaurant.

i might go back a third time before i leave hanoi

Just yum

Lovely little restaurant. Minimal seating, but well worth the wait.
Food was fresh, tasty and a lot of it.
Ordered papaya salad and fried vegan “beef” and veggies, both were amazing and full of flavour.

Five Stars Restaurant

Very friendly staff. You get a full table of food at probably the fairest price-performance ratio in all of Hanoi.
The dishes we tried were all very good. Absolutely recommendable.

A seperate vegan menu as well as meat

A tiny restaurant but that won’t stop them from filling your table. We ordered three mains but it comes with 3 free extra sides and rice. The free tomato and tofu side dish was a stand out. We were so full but content! A nice spot to watch people go by. Do yourself a favour and experience the true culture by asking to use the toilet. The owner has a beautiful story to share as well.

Amazing, you will get so full

Great little place where they bring out a lot of complimentary food like rice, tofu, soup, and salad. It’s all delicious, but worth taking that into account when ordering or you will not be able to finish. The staff are really nice and eating here is such a cool experience.

Excellent

Not much to add to what everyone else is saying – you order a main dish and get tons of free accompanying dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. Not only that, but there's a good cause behind it all.

I went back here three times during my week in Hanoi because the food was that good!

Pros: So much food!, Lovely owner , Try the pineapple juice!

Cons: The place is small and can feel a bit crowded

Fabuloso

Truly loved Katze, but I personally would prefer they price the food more normally and not bring out so much “free” food that you might not like or need. We order a beef with pepper and sweet and sour pork. Wow, it was incredible. The guys there are so nice, we chatted about where we come from and stuff. We ate some of the other dishes but wasted food which I felt bad about. Still, all that food and beers came to around 11€

Pros: Food!, People!

Amazing food with a meaning

Had such an amazing time. The food is amazing, and just as we thought it couldn't get better, the owner told us about the fact that he help feed children in need. Will definitely recommend to have a meal here, you get amazing meaningful vegan Vietnamese food.

EAT HERE !!!

The food was absolutely delicious! Not only did you get what you ordered, but they add lots of free stuff as well. The staff is super attentive. The owner gave us something to read about how he got started with the restaurant and donates to children in need - so another reason to support this amazing restaurant!

Best food ever

The staff were SO attentive, describing the menu and showing us how to eat the food. We were given three free dishes on top of the two we ordered. The portions were huge and the food is honestly the tastiest I’ve had in all of Vietnam. The atmosphere was cosy. I would highly highly recommend to anyone. The vegan ribs were incredible!

Pros: Staff, Vegan ribs, Free dishes

Maravillosa comida, excelente servicio

Vinimos en nuestro último día en Vietnam, después de más de 40 días en el país, y honestamente es una de las mejores cenas que comimos en todo el viaje.

No solo la comida estaba deliciosa, sino que los platos son abundantes y la atención es muy buena.

Al pedir cualquiera de los platos principales te van a traer arroz, sopa y otros acompañamientos que te harán preguntar qué hiciste bien en la vida para que te traten de manera tan maravillosa.

Si eres vegano, o no, esta es una para que sí o sí tienes que hacer al menos una vez, o más, si vienes a Hanói.

Pros: Las porciones, El sabor, El precio

The best vegan food❤️

Very good food! And so nice customer service the owner is super sweet. You also get so many different free portions. They understand vegan term and I think all of the menu are vegan. My non vegan boyfriend liked this place also very much. Vegan chicken was so good.

Crazy experience!

A mountain of food. Honestly I heard you get free rice here but it’s way more than that. They have a keenness to show that vegans also need protein so they offer you a free protein-based dish (I got fried tofu in tomato sauce) and they served it with rice and a beansprout salad, and then showed me how to grab a bit of everything and fed me the mouthful 😂

There was also a kind of soup and some other dressing/soup things but I had already ordered vegan chicken in bbq sauce and 6 spring rolls which I super regretted once I saw how much food they give you for free. Thankfully they only brought out 3 spring rolls and that was still too much for me on top of everything else!

I only paid for my 3x spring rolls and the vegan chicken which was 170k VD (£5.20) so honestly a literal heap of food for a fiver and a crazy, authentic experience is a no brainer.

Have to say, not 100% sure what they do with the wasted food, I would have asked but didn’t want it to come across badly in communication. Fantastic restaurant but just consider asking them not to have all the extras or not even ordering much at all!

Also the owner (I think) gave me a laminated sheet with his story and clearly by dining here you are helping a small business and the children he donates to so you can feel good about coming here, not just for the tasty food but also that you are contributing to helping out the local community.
