Sadly disappointing

Had the pizza & spring rolls. Spring rolls were okay but expensive for the size. Pizza was just plain gross. The “cheese” was so creamy and thick it overtook the whole pizza. Maybe we were just unlucky but the man who served us wasant very polite either. It’s an all vegan menu though so I’m sure some Options were good however we didn’t think so

Pros: All vegan menu

Cons: Expensive , Bland food

Better Choice

This is a much better choice than Loving Hut Hanoi. The atmosphere and ambience is also so much better. I enjoyed my dinner there before I traveled to Sapa the same night.

Pros: Better Food

Ok

We couldn’t get what we wanted but in the end the food we ate was ok. Portions were very small and we ended up going to another restaurant after our meal. Definitely too expensive for Vietnam. And not very tasty. Also, I’m only 5’10 ‘’ and couldn’t fit my legs under the table. The ambiance was good and service was very prompt.

super qualitatives Essen

Die Preise sind zwar eher teuer, allerdings auch vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Wir waren hier öfter zum Essen und waren immer sehr glücklich danach. Hotpot sehr lecker und die Cashewmilk und das vegane Caramel kann ich auch nur empfehlen!
Aber Finger weg von der veganen Lasagne. Da die Vietnamesen bekanntlich wenig salzen und diese Lasagne hauptsächlich aus Karotten besteht, schmeckt sie eher wie eine Süßspeise. Das war aber auch das einzige was mir dort nicht geschmeckt hat.

Perfect little vegan oasis

This little restaurant is a lovely and peaceful place. They have loads of healthy vegan foods including veg, tofu and really good mock meats (especially the beef). We got some noodles, spring roles and a massive hot pot all for around 590000 dong (£18) between 2 people (but could have easily been for 3 or 4). PLUS THEIR CASHEW MILK IS ON FLEEK.

Pros: cashew milk, hot pot , friendly

satisfied!

Needed a quick place to eat near the lake and this was perfect. Was nervous from reviews that service would be slow or they wouldn’t have what we wanted available but that was not the case. Ordered pho and spring rolls both delicious! Caramel for dessert was good too.

Nice, but a little pricey

Surroundings are nice and place is easy to find.
We were seated quickly and orders were taken promptly.
Our food was brought out in good time and was really nice. The flavour and portion size was good too.
It was a little more expensive than other places, but that was reflected in the quality of service and food.
Would 100% go back again.

Pros: Quick service, Tasty food, Good customer service

Cons: A little pricey

Nice but pricey

Have eaten there twice now. Both times things I would have liked to order weren't available.
What I had instead was good but relatively expensive.
Staff were nice but inattentive.

quite good

We really enjoyed the pho and the carrot/pineapple juice. The fresh rolls were also good. We liked the food and the place. Unfortunately the staff did not speak English which can be a bit complicated sometimes, and we were disappointed that they brought up the food little by little. So we had one pho right away and had to wait 20 min for the rest of the food. Not great when you eat with someone :) still we had a à good time! Some of the food can be privy thought

Pros: good pho at reasonable price , cute place

Cons: not well organized

Nice but that’s it

We went here and were quite surprised how much the food was. The menu is also very small. The pho wasn’t bad, not the best vegan pho I’ve had in Vietnam but the summer rolls were really nice.

Overall this place is a bit overpriced and I wouldn’t come back.

Pros: Calm

Cons: Small menu, Expensive

Very expensive, for mediocre food

Too expensive for Vietnam, 80k dong for Pho, that was not great. I would not go back.

Pros: nice decor, lots of choices

Cons: expensive, no locals in the restaurant, seemed to be missing lots of dishes

Highly recommend

Lovely place near lake. Great choice of vegan food beautifully presented. We had the set menu which was soup, a salad with a lovely mango dressing then a noodle bowl. All fab. My friend had some sausage which we couldn't believe wasn't meat .but was assured it definitely wasn't. And pizza with sweet potato cheese. They don't serve alcohol here which wasnt an issue for lunch.
The decor is nice but the chairs are very low which for tall Brits is a bit uncomfortable. A bit more expensive than some places but still cheaper than home

Super expensive and very average food!

Went here twice while we were in Hanoi. The first day we got two of the combo meals. The soups and salads were nice. The vegan sausage is good. The lasagna weird, sweet more like a desert with veges, I wouldn't recommend it. The "snail" soup was quite bland. The next day we got two burgers, they came with about 5 chips each. The patty was like uncooked mushy veg and chickpeas, but was supposed to be a mushroom patty. The burger was small. They also didnt give us enough change back when we paid. Another annoying thing was that they just shut at random times and they say "they'll be open in an hour" but they aren't when you go back. Overall way too expensive and less than average food.

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Expensive, good not good, small portions, ripped u

Vietnamese food was good

I just had Vietnamese food there. It was good.
The western style food looked good too.

But be aware. Their juice is, like everywhere in Vietnam, lemonade.

Great food

The food is great here but the menu is limited (which is understandable given the potential cost of having a larger menu) which means if you keep going back your’ll be eating a lot of the same dishes. The western dishes are small and pricey but if you want pizza, lasagna or shepherds pie go to Italy or England.
They also have amazing creme caramels which are worth a visit on their own.

Pros: creme caramels

Cons: expensive western dishes

Great Pho

I got the milk tea which was amazing! Super sweet and creamy!

I also ordered the Asia European combo and it was delicious. It came with moringa soup (had no idea what that was but it was yummy), a fresh roll, and a mango salad which were all perfectly balanced and delicious. The show stopper though was the Hanoi Pho. It tastes just like the pho I used to get before going vegan! I would highly recommend it!

Good food for a good price

We order 2starters and 2 main dishes plus the drinks for less then 20 bucks. The mango salad was amazing, really recommended!
I had a cashew milk that convinced me to start to make it for myself at home as soon I get back.
Also the staff 5* service , very attractive !

Pros: Fast service!

Cons: The serving of the dishes we order was completely , random but .... they come out fast enough to ignor, that fact :)

PLEASE READ BEFORE VISITING

I was so pleased to see that it was apparently an all vegan restaurant that I sat down and ordered hastily without checking here. I was then horrified to read some serious reports about them not serving completely vegan food! I had ordered the pizza which came with some rank yellow sauce that was supposed to resemble cheese. Obviously made from very poor quality ingredients. Also, it was expensive. [edit by staff - see tos]. Avoid this place like the plague.

Cons: Not vegan???, Disgusting, Expensive
