Delightful Veg Restaurant! - Edit
Daily menu on the chalkboard has a lot of variety, and mostly vegan dishes. It was hard to choose a dish! Hubs got a dish with vegan balls (uncertain of the ingredients, but medium density with great flavor!) and tofu in a tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was less of a pasta sauce, and more of a light sauce with chunks of tomato, and it had an amazing taste! I had the vegan fennel balls with tofu and rice. We had the choice of white or brown rice, which was a nice change. Both dishes were served with sauteed green onions, and bitter melon (?) on the side, as well as a brothy onion soup and spicy soy sauce. These were easily some of our favorite dishes of our entire trip! Service was very friendly, and very speedy. We also had the ginger lime with lemongrass drink, and it was super refreshing! Overall, a big win of a restaurant. Directions to find were on point in the app (going thru MayCha restaurant to the back stairs).

Lovely staff and authentic dishes - Edit
This is a cute restaurant hidden up a flight of stairs in the center of the city. The menu is written on a board and I get the impression it can change frequently. I went in for pho but doesn't look like they sell it anymore. I got the mi Quang noodles which tasted authentic and were nice, I think if you love pumpkin then this is a great option. I wasn't sold on the pumpkin broth but that's just my personal taste. My partner liked the vegan balls and tofu rice dish. It looks like they don't use any sugar in their drinks so iced teas etc. aren't sweet!

Simple, clean & flavorful - Edit
Flavorful dishes and the right portion size per dish. They even added a complimentary soup. And the cold coconut water was incredible - the coconuts here are smaller than the ones we’ve had in india and Indonesia and are very very sweet. Lovely spot for a clean and flavorful meal.

I got the mushrooms and tofu with soy sauce and I loved it. Served with veggies, tea and soup. Hard to find as you have to kinda walk through another restaurant but don't give up!

Hidden Gem in the heart of the city - Edit
Lovely upstairs restaurant run entirely by women. Really enjoyed the food and the variety of options of different noodle and rice dishes. Also served lovely desserts. Have to go through another shop to find it but quite common in Vietnam- definitely worth seeking out.

Good food, decent price - Edit
Ordered the tofu in tomato sauce which comes with rice and vegetables. Really enjoyed it -fresh and healthy tasting, and a decent size portion. We were not however a fan of the spring and green mustard rolls we ordered, not lots of flavour or substance to them. Cosy setting and also has a balcony looking out into busy city. Recommend a visit.

Limited options, food is just okay - Edit
Cozy little place upstairs, menu options are written on the chalk board and items are erased if they are out. The food is fine but nothing to rave about.

Delicious food, great value! - Edit
It’s not easy to find. You need to walk through the right hand side of Maycha on the ground floor and take the stairs to level 1. The changing menu is displayed on the chalk board. The food was delicious, plentiful and great value for money. The restaurant accepts payment by credit card and cash. I would highly recommend a visit if you are near the Opera House part of town.

Hidden gem - Edit
We could not find this place the first time we looked (granted we were a little tired). It is on the first floor so you have to look closely for signs. Glad we looked again as it is amazing 🤩

Lovely food - Edit
The food here is lovely. The best is they don't use mock meat, but natural ingredients to make food, which I always love. One rice portion consists of rice, veggies and one menu option. The place is clean, nice staff, good food but the portion is somehow small and the price is a but steep.

A happening location - Edit
Mang’s Mania is a small venue on the second story, accessed through stairs at the back of another venue. There is indoor and balcony seating, we chose to sit outside; the people watching was excellent as your look onto Nguyen Hue walking street.
Read moreThe restaurant was clean and the waitress was very friendly, with varied selection of dishes on the menu. We enjoyed our eggplant and vegan ball mains, which both came with a complementary yummy vegetable broth. The rice paper rolls were good if you like coriander but we found the green wrap on the summer rolls too tough.
With an additional two beers we paid 252,000 vnd.
Overall we enjoyed our dinner experience!

Sitio muy tranquilo y acogedor.
Read moreLas camareras encantadoras.
La comida muy rica. Pedimos dos platos que son tipo platos combinados y compartimos. Para nosotras suficiente.
Precio económico para la calidad de la comida. El plato de setas con tofu y arroz con leche de coco buenísimo.
Como algo a mejorar: especificaría que para acceder al restaurante has de entrar en la tienda de bubble tea. Nos costó ver el cartel😅
Pros: Ambiente tranquilo y relajado, Comida rica, Atención de las camareras
Cons: Difícil de encontrar el acceso al restaurante

Superb food - Edit
First of all, this place is difficult to find. At the back of another shop and up some stairs. Don't give up though, it's worth the effort of finding as the food was superb. The jackfruit in pepper sauce and brown rice dish was very moreish and one of my favourite dishes in Vietnam.

Visiting Australian - Edit
My Vietnamese-born wife and I are visiting from Australia. I always use Happy Cow to locate vegan restaurants. Mang's Mania is a lovely surprise and if it wasn't for the excellent description of it's location we may never have found it. It's quite a contrast walking up the stairs into a clean, fresh environment. We didn't know what to have so we had three main dishes: fennel balls with tofu in pepper sauce; tofu with mushroom in soy sauce; pineapple, cucumber, bell pepper (capsicum) in sweet and sour sauce. We chose the brown rice but this looked more like black/purple rice. Lovely in itself. My wife loves soup and had the Bún Thang Thích Thú. To top it off we had dessert, Longan and Jujube. All dishes were nicely presented and had plenty of flavour. I hope to return.
