Delicious!

Tempeh peanut and ginger dish is amazing! Definitely recommend the fried spring rolls - there is a flavour tothem that I can't quite pick and they're the best I've had in Vietnam. Nice ambiance to the space and a good drinks menu.

Great fresh-tasting food

We really enjoyed the chickpea curry here, which felt like the kind of creamy coconuty curry we hadn't really had in Vietnam yet. It came with a nice sticky rice too. It was more expensive than other places we'd tried in Tam Coc but the food was really nicely presented and high quality.

Best Vegan Spot in Tam Coc

Came back here multiple times while staying in Tam Coc. The menu choice was great, it was so nice to have some fresher, lighter options for breakfast and lunch like smoothie bowls, tofu scramble, pancakes etc.
The protein bowl with tempeh, tofu and chickpeas was so lovely and exactly what I needed after days of fried food. The kombucha is the best I’ve had so far in Vietnam. For dinner, the coconut chickpea curry was a favourite of mine.

Such a sweet little place, fully vegan, chill vibes and great selection of really high quality food. Can’t rate it highly enough. Probably slightly more expensive than some other local places but still a bargain.

Please go support these folks!

Couldn’t stop going back!

We went here at least 3 times in our stay and we were only there 2 nights. The food was fresh and filling. The falafel bowl was especially good, it felt like a big bowl of what we’d been missing from our diets!
The tempeh was a little dry in my peanut ginger dish but this is perhaps just preference.
I’d defo recommend the green and yellow juices!

Blown my mind, fell in love

After a month in Vietnam, this is definitely one of my favorite vegan restaurants. We have been here several times and really every meal is unbelievably good. The menu is huge and the portion size is good. Expensive by Vietnamese standards, but definitely worth it. Definitely give it a try!

Pros: Flavour, Wide range

Cons: Relatively expensive

Coconut chickpea curry

The curry with brown sticky rice (rare in SEA I feel) was so good! Huge portion! We also got peanut tofu- so much tofu (which it had more veggies) but you definitely get your protein. Will come back for mango sticky rice. Pricier but huge portions
Also good wifi and space to work in

Pros: Chickpea coconut curry, Portion, Decoration

Delicious

Took my non vegan family here for dinner and everyone absolutely loved it. We all had the coconut chickpea curry, it was the best we’d every had. Also really fresh juices.

Basic and plain.

I’m always happy and supportive when I see vegan restaurants, but I also like to be honest with the reviews.

This place has a lot of potential because of the space and the location and I’m sure when it opened it was great but the condition that it is at now is not nice, really dirty and really old (the floor and the walls need to be refurbished). The toilet looks like it was out of a horror movie and the kitchen didn’t look nice at all either.

We just ordered a couple of things and the food was very plain and tasteless.
Honestly you won’t find many options in this town so it’s okey if you need to eat something and continue your day.

Tourist Hot Spot

No vietnamese people here and most meals are more western-style. But food is good and its nice to sit here. Maybe a bit more expensive. Watermelon juice contains real watermelon and no extra sugar, which is a good thing.

We did not like any of the food (except the scrambled tofu) and it is super expensive. No free water avaiable, only in plastic bottles. Service was not very friendly. It is really cozy inside, however.

Very european/ western

There are asian dishes, but also lots of western style ones like (breakfast) bowls. All looks delicious.
We tried the hotpot and it was great.
We wanted to try cake and homemade yoghurt (soy), but kitchen was closed and despite we assumed that both was already ready - the waitress even looked - we couldn‘t get it. Weird 😜
So order before 4pm (I think) because it‘s closed until 6pm.

Pros: All food and drinks are vegan, Creditcard, English spoken

Cons: Kitchen is not always open

Lots of variety

Really good and interesting all vegan options. A bit chaotic on the day we were there, but the food was served quickly - before the drinks - and tasted simply wonderful. Service was kind and attentive.

Was ok

The service wasn’t that friendly and took a while for food to be ready. The falafel bowl was ok, the falafels were a bit dry and it needed more hummus/tahini and dressing but otherwise good. The chickpea curry was lacking substance, it was mainly just a thin sauce; although it tasted good. The cheesecake was ok; I would have liked something sweeter. Overpriced for what you get. Nice setting

Bit expensive but super good.

It's a touristy place, can take quite long, too. But the dishes are healthy and greatly interpreted.

So fresh and so clean

We ate there 4 times during our 3 day stay in ninh binh it was so good.
The banana and mango smoothie was delicious and the green juice tasted so fresh.
Had the pancakes and smoothie bowl for breakfast and it was a perfect start to the day. A unique vietnam breakfast but a refreshing change from noodle bowls and rice.
We had the rainbow salad and falafel bowl for dinner one night and it was so light and filling and made my upset stomach feel very satisfied.
The falafels were awesome and the hummus tasted homemade.
The first salad id had in months and it was a welcomed and much needed meal.
The vegan noodle soup had a good broth, which is hard to do without the meat.
The tofu in peanut ginger sauce (i think) Was so flavourful and with plenty of sauce to coat the rice.

Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly.
Definitely recommend !

Pros: Good pho, Falafel, Salad !!

Cons: Small kitchen so if its busy it might take a min

Westernized, lacking flavour and overpriced

Not authentic and overrated! If you want to have westernized vegan food go for it
If your looking for delicious Vietnamese food go somewhere else. I don’t understand the good reviews at all. Seems like they haven’t had proper Vietnamese food at all… I gave it another try after a so so lunch. The food for lunch: tofu ginger peanut was lacking flavours! The serving size is good, but it’s expensive. No water, wifi provided, clean.
The second dish another of their recommendation was bun Cha Gio (spring rolls with salad and rice noodles) I asked for less noodles with more veg and got lots of noodles with a few pieces of salad. Thanks for that…
Not authentic: Vietnam has delicious herbs and salad leaves and they just used one type of lettuce how about mint, rau ram and all the others? No wonder it had hardly any taste

Pros: Vegan, Nice interior, Wifi

Cons: Expensive , Bland , Western

Amazing Vegan

The most tasty vegan food in Ninh Binh for sure. We had tried the Spring Rolls (amazing) and Curry Coconut Chickpeas (Oh my god!!! The best)

Pros: Great vegan options, Must try Spring Rolls, Must try Coconut Chickpeas

A terrific find!

Vegan interpretations (and I daresay even improvements!) of local Vietnamese dishes! Wonderful fresh, tasty food, reasonably priced drinks (including cold beer!) and friendly staff in a chilled out environment. Very big portions too.

If you are in Tam Coc, do not miss it!

Good for a meal in Tam Coc

As the main vegan restaurant in Tam Coc we had to come here. The Budda bowl wasn't amazing, but the other food was pretty good. It is expensive for Vietnam standards.

Nasty Buddha Bowl

This was hands down the absolute worst Buddha Bowl I have ever had in my life. The tofu was barely cooked and cold, the pumpkin was cold, the lettuce was not fresh, and the sauce was utterly puke worthy. It all started bad too… I ordered this bowl and not a different one because it supposedly didn’t have cucumbers (which are the most disgusting food on the planet to my tastebuds)… but low and behold there was a massive amount of cucumbers piled into my bowl. I asked the staff about it and was told they were updating the menu… uh ok. Meanwhile a large portion of my meal had to be discarded. Then the server inexplicably informs me that “most people don’t like the sauce” and yet there it is! Well was she ever right! Disgusting! I felt like I wanted to throw up afterwards. Seriously, it made me physically nauseous. If they have received this feedback repeatedly, why is this still on the menu? My advice is to avoid this place. Happy Cow forces 2 stars because it’s a vegan place, but I actually give them a big fat zero. Aside from the friendly staff this place was a complete write off!

Pros: Friendly staff , Convenient location

Cons: Food was gross, Cold food , Obviously not adapting to feedback

Omg… I forgot to mention the rice in this bowl. Beyond disgusting and the worst part of the meal. It was brown rice all stuck together in a big clump with the consistency of rubber and glue. Tasted awful!

Perfect start in the day

We chose to stay here twice during our stay at Tam Coc, for peace angel and lunch. The menu offers pure vegan options as well as soy milk. We chose Banana Pancakes and Apple Overnight Oats and Protein and Falafel Bowl respectively.
The staff is very friendly and speaks English. Inconspicuous from the outside or slightly shifted to the back, the restaurant offers enough space. #Veganuary

You can find other places

This place is expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. It definitely has that western side to it. I had the chickpea curry with the different colored rice. Wasn't the best.

Though I did like their mango cheesecake -- the crust in particular.

You definitely can find other restaurants with cheaper prices around this area

Cons: Expensive , Tourist trap
