The place is right on the water front, with stunning view to the mountains. The service was great and the food was very good. Can recommend this place to anyone who is visiting this city.

Beautiful location with good all vegan food - Edit
I ate here a couple of times and sat by the river enjoying the food. Staff really friendly and affordable prices. The thai soup was really good. The fresh noodles ok but nothing spectacular. Unfortunately the salad was way too salty to finish. Nice juices, smoothies and coconuts.

Mixed - Edit
Ate there a few times from necessity, prices decent, staff a tad chaotic and food pretty hit and miss. Some really good dishes but also some pretty poor ones.

Delicious food and good vibes - Edit
We went here for dinner and orderes three different dishes for the two of us. All of them were really tasty and good, and different to what we'd had in Vietnam so far. The people working there were also very sweet. All in all: delicious food, quite cheap, good portions - 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Nice choice of vegan dishes - Edit
Went there twice while I was in Phong Nha. I was impressed by the varied choice of dishes and speed food was served. Taste was great. As I haven't heard of most dishes before I had to look them up in the internet. The staff is not very fluent in English but showed me afterwards how to eat the dishes as I definitely needed some help.

Almost fully vegan - Edit
Almost fully vegan restaurant, but the things that are not vegan are marked on the menu. The location is a bit north from the "centre" of Phong Nha, if you can grab a bike from your hostel or homestay, I'd recommend it for after dark.
Read moreFood was good, many things to choose from and friendly priced. Five stars for the most vegan restaurant in town.
Pros: Almost fully vegan
Cons: Walking there after dark not recommended

Very disappointed - Edit
The service was not good enough. The food came out staggered and there was a long wait for mains in between each dish. They messed up one dish and then had to remake it. They also had handed it to another table.
Read moreAll drinks were hot (beer and water), and when we refused the water, they suddenly presented us with a cold bottle.
It was disappointing as the previous reviews were promising.
The food itself was not the best.
Pros: Nice location next to the river
Cons: Long wait between food, Hot drinks, Poor service

PN Vegan’s food is rich with flavor. Loved the enoki mushroom wraps and the eggplant stew! Really hit the spot. Probably the best vegan food in town.

Wonderful option in Phong Nha! - Edit
We went back to this restaurant again and again. The menu is a little bit limited (mostly soups and veggies/meats to each with rice, no bahn mi etc.) but everything we had was delicious! The Bahn Xeo (vietnamese package) is very good! And they have a wide selection of vegan-friendly drinks on offer - the "cookie shake" is made of Oreos and is excellent!
Read moreRun by a very nice family with a friendly atmosphere, it's great to look over the water and eat tasty vegan food made with care. This made our stay in Phong Nha much better!!
Pros: All vegan food, Everything we tried was delicious, Friendly, helpful staff
Cons: Menu was a little bit limited

Not the best experience - Edit
The food itself was just ok, a bit pricier side but the worst part was that my boyfriend got a food poisoning from here. And it sure wasn’t the first time since when we told this to our hotel staff they knew right away where we’ve been eating. So if you visit here at least don’t eat any raw veggies they’re offering.
Read moreAnd as earlier reviewer mentioned place is not 100% vegan since they use normal milk and condensed milk in their drinks.

Not fully vegan, some drinks contains cow milk. - Edit
We had the vegan pork with lemongrass, only tastes like flavor enhancer, no natural spices like lemongrass and very small portion. The rice with mushrooms was tasteless. We ask about the coffee with milk and with codensed milk, both are with cow milk. I do not recommend it. Sorry!

Fantastic food - Edit
Fantastic find. We came back every day on our stay in Phong Nha. We were impressed by the wide variety of dishes and the superb quality of the ones we tried.
Read moreWe tried different items each visit. All were very good, and many were amazing. Highly recommend are the coconut coffee (vegan Vietnamese iced coffee using coconut ice cream), the smoothies and the signature grilled mushrooms wrapped in piper lolot leaves.
Preparation times can be a bit long, so be prepared to sit and relax and watch the river flow by.
Pros: The food is awesome, Prices are very good, Freshly made
Cons: Quality takes time
