High hopes but underwhelmed

It was just alright really. Service was slow despite it being pretty empty. I got the tasting of the local region platter. White rose was excellent. I dont even know how to describe it; it's like an open dumpling with vegan sausage I think it was. Could've eaten two dozen of them. The spring rolls were greasy and some of them burnt. Wontons alright, had a little salad on top. Was really looking forward to the cao lau but was lacking a punch. Loved the crispy bits of what I guess are flattened rice noodles, rather than tofu skin. Ate every morsel but that doesnt really say much as I never leave food. Staff friendly enough but had to get up to get my own menu and then again to pay after asking and waiting ages. Also had a kid running around squirting and throwing water everywhere, including on me. Also domt follow Google maps as it takes you down a dingy alley where there's what looks to be a sweatshop. Enter on street to the south not east.

Literally: Hidden Gem :-)

The puzzle is solved. There are 3 different locations in total and one of them is actually called Minh Kien, the other Minh Hien. Very confusing. Also because Google Maps was also directing us to wrong locations on the map! All 3 locations have the same menu. It is definitely worth to visit one of these places. (See picture for all adresses). We ate at 2 locations two different days (minh kien ánd minh hien) and it was both times amazing! This vegan food experience blew us away. Honestly so good. We wished we stayed longer to do a cooking class here, or eat all of the options on the menu😄Go and find these hidden gems! You will not be dissapointed.

Great dinner but please correct the name Happy Cow, it’s Minh Hien…

After spending a first evening at the wonderful night market and trying quite e few street food dishes (they are not that many…), we decided for the second night to look for a nice Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant. A good star brought us to minh Hien, a family owned restaurant a little outside the town center, but worth the 10 minutes walk. Simple but very efficient, the dishes have been created by the mom and her son Huy is helping with a few friends considered as family. Delicious and varied dishes who will convince non vegetarian people (like me - my wife is) that a nice, tasteful and surprising meal doesn’t need meat or fish! Altogether, i decided to give 5 stars. We travel and love to eat, and try many kind of restaurants and foods, but I think that not only super dooper Michelin starred restaurants deserved a nice review, i think that you can give a five star comment if your expectations are met or surpassed and if the food is prepared with care and love. Well this is the case here. So don’t hesitate, it’s a good address, with good food and good people. What els do you need?

Vegetarian restaurant with so many vegan options!

A great veggie restaurant selling lots of vegan options. I had the stuffed tofu and Vietnamese pancakes, both were delicious. Prices are reasonable and staff friendly. It was a little wait for the food but it is Lunar New year so I’m sure staff are super busy at the moment. You should definitely visit this place during your trip to Hoi An!

Pros: Lots of options , Local and Asian fusion , Reasonable price

Amazing food with tons of vegan options

We tried the Bahn me, noodles, and green banana curry which were all amazing - we even ordered another serving of the curry. The menu was mostly vegan and all vegan options were clearly labelled. One of the best meals in hoi an :)))

Incredible

Cooking class is a must do!!
You bike around town and learn about all the different herbs they use in Vietnamese cooking out at the organic vegetable farm, then go to the market and learn how to choose the best produce before buying your ingredients for the class. At the restaurant you want to cook 6 different vegan Vietnamese dishes with llc ingredients. All are incredible!!

Pros: Reasonably priced, Lovely staff, All good is delicious

Pricey, but nice.

The food was very quick, the white rose dumplings were nice, but in my opinion a little pricey. The dumplings were also served a little cold. So hmm. The ginger and lemongrass tea was not good. I don’t know how you can screw up tea, but they did. Ha!

Pros: Menu is specific with vegan vs vego

Cons: Pricey

Cooking class

We did the cooking class here and it was amazing. My BF and I are both vegan and the entire meal that we prepared was vegan. The morning started with a tour of the local vegetable farms and then we headed to the market to try local delicacies. We also looked for ingredients here.
The cooking class was exceptional. Minh explained everything well. Telling us how to cook things to perfection. He gave us tips on substitutes for when we are shopping at home. We were a group of 8 and everyone was included in cooking and prep. This was hands down the best meal I have had in Vietnam.

One of the best

Up there with the best food we have eaten in South East Asia. Super fresh and flavourful meals, and great to try veganised versions of local specialities like White Rose and Crispy pancakes. We also did the cooking class which was really interesting and fun. Highly recommend!

Pros: Delicious flavours , Lots of vegan options
