Super yummy

After my trip to My Son the bus dropped us of nearby which seemed a good opportunity to try this restaurant for lunch. I'm so glad I did! I had the eggplant with lemongrass in banana leaf, it was just bursting with flavour.

I returned the same day for dinner. I had set menu 1. in particular the white rose and the wontons. Again really amazing flavours.

Best food in Vietnam!

Best veggie place in Vietnam.

Honestly one of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to. Like ever.

Everything on the menu is veggie/vegan Vietnamese and so tasty. A set menu for two is about 179,000 D, and it's a feast.

Ended up eating here for a few nights of our stay in Hoi An. I think most veggie visitors do too.

Try the banana leaf baked stuffed tofu.

Get the Banh Mi

This place is so highly rated on Happy Cow and Google so we just had to give it a go while in Hoi an.

We ended up eating here pretty much every day for 3 days mostly because the vego options in this town are quite limited.

The setting is good, the food is ok, but slightly dull, the service is quick and efficient and they sell fresh beer for 3,000 a glass.

I liked the local specialities, we had the cau lau (spelling?) a few times and really enjoyed it. I also had the spicy bun soup which was really tasty but lacked veggies. The garlic rice was delicious and only 15,000, the tofu with fresh veg was a waste of time as it was very small and tasteless and the sweet and sour tofu was really tiny and lacked sauce.

One thing I would recommend is the veggie banh mi. It's 20,000 and is probably the best thing I have eaten during my 3 weeks in Vietnam. It's full of veggies, tofu, a mushroom pate, salad, sauce and is truly amazing.

Overall we enjoyed the food, but it definitely could be nicer and maybe bigger... Great beer though lol!

Pros: The banh mi, Cheap Beer, Lots of tofu

Cons: No mock meats, Rice isn't included, Gets pretty busy

Favourite spot in Hoi An!

This was my favourite restaurant in Hoi An by far- maybe in all of Vietnam. Reasonable prices, nice staff, got to try veg versions of local food. The Cao Lau was delicious - lots of fresh mint! Also the passion fruit juice. We took the cooking class ($15/person) which was great- I said I was vegan and they made sure we didn't use any honey etc in the dishes we made. It was 2 hours and we made 3 dishes. Such a nice break from the rest of the tourist trap restaurants in Hoi An!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Reasonable prices , Cute atmosphere

Average food, slightly over priced

I was underwhelmed by the food, disappointingly as the place, the ambience is nice. I was looking forward to trying something local from the varied and interesting menu, opting for white rose. Surprisingly for a place that offers cooking classes, it was very bland. It was also expensive for veg food in Vietnam, although this may reflect the high prices in Hội An generally.

Pros: interesting menu

Cons: relatively expensive, bland food

Cool place with customer reviews and manga everywhere! The food is cheap (29,000-45,000 for mains) and really flavorful.. Try the White Rose dumplings and the Hoi An noodles for local specialties. Also, the stuffed tofu is amazing.

Good food

Really good food, nice staff. It is vegetarian but they have plenty of vegan options, and they understand if you say no milk or no egg.

Pros: Nice food, and plenty of vegan options.

Cons: Nothing

Amazing food & the cooking class was fab!

There are 2 of these restaurants & they're both super great. The food is mega scrummy! I'd recommend the Hoi An garlic fried rice & the sautéed pumpkin with roasted peanuts. My boyfriend had the tofu in a clay pot & raved about it, along with the banana fritters for dessert. We also attended a cooking class at the main one in town & we loved it, just us & a cook! We chose 3 dishes & made it all start to finish. Beyond great food, & all the people are super lovely! Plus they have fresh beer for 3,000 VND! Everything was so cheap, & tasted fabulous.

Really nice

All the food was really tasty and the service good. Definitely worth going there.
The cooking class there is real fun and I would always do it again! (Just dont choose to learn how to do the pancakes because its premixed powder so basically nothing you learn)
Only critics I have is that we learned how to do the sweet and sour soup in the cooking class and when we ordered it the other day. It was very different from what we learned and not even half as tasty.

First Restaurant We Went To

After a bus trip from Hue to Hoi An my mum and I were both hungry and looking to find somewhere to eat. After seeing the reviews of this place it is where we ended up. We order the stuffed tofu and a noodle dish and both were so nice! After we order we saw the sign about the white rose dumplings and have since been back and tried them also and they are amazing! MUST COME HERE WHILE IN HOI AN!
The street it is on also has a few other vegetarian places so stay around this street for maximum deliciousness!

Pros: YUMMY, Cooked fresh, large menu to choose from

Best food I had so far in Vietnam!

The food was so good!! Had tofu, garlic fried rice, fried spring rolls and aubergine. I drank the most amazing passion fruit juice. My hotel is close by so I will definately come back here during my stay in Hoi An.

Pros: the amazing food!

Cons: none, just eat here!

amazing!!

I ate here 4 times in the three days I was in Hoi An. After my first meal, I signed up for a cooking class which was awesome. There were 3 of us in the class and we learned to make 4 different dishes of our choice off the menu. The banana flower blossom salad and the sautéed pumpkin with peanuts were both my favorite. Such a lovely staff too. And it's very reasonably priced !!! Love this place

beautiful food and incredibly cheap

I ordered the Pho, White Rose and a Kumquat juice, and I highly recommend all of it! Food was served literally within 5 minutes of ordering. Super cheap, we got 4 mains and 2 drinks for $9USD. Walls are lined with Vietnamese comic books which were great to have a look at.

favorite place to eat and relax

This place is amazing. Most of the items are vegan, the menu is extensive.

The price of beer is dirt cheap, like 3000 VND for one fresh beer.

The best part which I didn't see mentioned in any other review is the fact this place is covered wall to wall in manga. The front wall is open, the atmosphere is really nice. I stayed here and relaxed for a long time after eating.

I recommend the set menus. The oven braised eggplant was good, but the BEST thing was the fresh pho noodles. I don't know what they are seasoned with but it was incredible. I ordered this every time. The curry soup is okay.

my only complaint is the fact people smoke inside of here. I know that it's not en enclosed building, but that's so inconsiderate and outright disgusting. It would be better if the staff asked people to step outside to smoke.

Ohhh...So Delicious and served with so much warmth

It was one of the best vegetarian food we have tried in Hoi An with quality ingredients and a warm heart. It is a walk from the city centre, as we entered we were warmly greeted and graciously served. This was a breath of fresh air, given that many vendors here just want to sell you anything at a ridiculously high price, sadly the attitude is grab as much money as you can with the flavour of grumpiness. My sense is it is ignorance, that they are burnt out by the tourist overload and overcome by greed. We have travelled around the world and so for this place takes it to the extreme so you learn to be sharp and tune in to your intuition. There are valuable lessons to be learned from each experience, good or bad. Each place has a gift to share. This place felt sincere. We tried the local dishes like Cao Lao, Rose dumplings....felt so good and clean after eating it and price was more than fair. I have signed up for a cooking class for Monday a.m. and they offered to take me along to the market to buy the fresh vegs so that I can experience it from a local perspective, very much looking forward to it.

Many places here add MSG, legacy of war time rationing but this place felt like it did not, I think. Please confirm.
Well Worth the effort to get here.

Amazing Cooking Class

We visited this restaurant last night for dinner. It is a wee bit out the ancient town but totally worth the comute. I had the grilled tofu stuffed with mushrooms in banana leaf and my mother had the grilled mushrooms in banana leaf. we also tried the veg white rose. Everything was super delicious and not expensive (we paid 300k for 2 persons with drinks).

We also inquired about their cooking class which we too today in the morning. It was very personal bc we were the only two participants and the owner showed us how to cook veg phô, rice pancake and spring rolls. It was absolutely delicious and despite the language barrier understandable. A balanced mixture between "show how its done" and DIY. Costs is 15 USD per person.
Without exhausting trips to the markets and no boat trip.
theres a class 11 am and 4pm, if you wanna join just go there an hour early and tell them you want to do it.

Pros: varied, authentic, cheap

Cons: none

Cool place

Arrangements are nice, lots of shelves full of Manga. Nice place.
Portions where going to small, but they were OK, spicey as well, normally in Vietnam they give you the spice and you use it but it wasn't like that here.
I've tried the white rose, it sounds like a design dish and that is what you get. Small.

not inexpensive and small portions!

I went there for lunch today. decided to order White Rose for 39'000 Dong bc it was one of the cheapest dishes and a specialty.
I don't understand why this Restaurant is listed as inexpensive. the cheapest dish on the menu is 29'000 Dong, most are over 40'000.

i honestly didn't know what White Rose was supposed to be like. Was really surprised when I received a tiny plate with sth on it. Not filling at all. Could be a starter, not more! there was way too much vinegar on this dish for my taste.
I saw the springrolls somebody ordered. again: tiny!

wouldn't go there again. You'd probably have to spend at least 60'000 to get full.

Pros: specialties like White Rose, nicely decorated (Mangas in Vietnamese)

Cons: tiny portions, quite expensive

Great and filling food

Stopped by for lunch on the way from the bus station. Had one of the set menus for two which offered tasty variety and filled us both to the brim. Still had room for dessert of course and tried the ominous sounding snow fungus and aloe Vera sweet soup which was actually quite nice. Never seen a mushroom in a dessert before!

The tables are decorated with comments and "business cards" from previous customers which is kinda interesting.

Everything very good

I came here because I read many positive comments on Happy Cow and Trip Advisor. Well, it deserves the 5 stars. My husband and I tried many dishes: the skin tofu salad (very good tofu), the wonton (yummy), the white rose (I was very excited, it was so nice to taste a Vietnamese typical recipe made vegetarian), the tofu in the banana leaf (amazing, although a little bit too spicy) and a pot of tofu. Everything was very good. Nice place, I recommend it!

Pros: Food!, nice staff

Cons: I just wish they had vegan pancake
