Delicious food in beautiful Phong Nha - Edit
We stayed in Phong Nha for 3 days and had all our lunches and dinner here. The food was delicious and varied. One of our favourite places in Vietnam! They even made us fried rice in the morning which we could pick up at 6 am before our early train departure.

Best food in Vietnam, not even joking - Edit
The food was absolutely incredible. For my girlfriend and me, it was unquestionably the best restaurant in Vietnam up to now. We had the "Mi Chay" noodle soup, noodle mixed vegetable salad and the savoury pancakes. Staff was very friendly as well😄We will definitely come back!

Really Good - Edit
Was super good every time we got there. Don't miss the mushroom with chilli and lemongrass, which was one of the best dishes I ate lately, and the mushroom in lot leaves that is very unique

Good food! - Edit
Good vegan food! Only small portion sizes, and we had to wait for a long time. Also the restaurant is outdoor (cold) and not really cozy. But the food was worth coming! Also nice staff.

Opening hours might not be correct - Edit
Opening hours here state 8am - 9pm. We tried to visit at around 7pm on a Saturday, but there was no one here and the gates were drawn across, so opening hours might not be correct (or flexible depending on custom). Worth being aware of as it's about a 10min scooter ride out of town, in a pretty quiet deserted area!

Would give higher rating if not because... - Edit
So we went here today and were really excited because there were alot of things on the menu that we wanted to try. Things we hadn't seen in any other vegan place in our now two week stay in Vietnam. Unfortfunately when we began to order, we discovered that item after item was missing. Which really bummed us out but we had the Kim Bap, Rice Pancake and Bok Choy with mushroom and chili. There was a lot of food and we both got very full! The Kim Bap was a little bland but everything else was good, just a shame we couldn't get what we wanted. The seating is very uncomfortable too. Two metal benches in a corner of a big room, doesn't feel very inviting. Everything was just sort of dusty too, the floor, benches and table.
Read morePros: Lots of options, everything we had was good, Reasonably priced, Good sizes
Cons: Too much of the menu was missing , Uncomfortable seating, Dusty

Absolutely delightful! - Edit
We stopped into this lovely wee eatery after a very hot day of cycling to the botanical gardens. We were met by a lady who couldn’t have been more helpful and sweet if she tried. We tried two of the local speciality dishes (Goi and a take on ban xiao) and they were hands down the best dishes I’ve had in 6 weeks in Vietnam. The handmade aloe juice was incredible and very refreshing.

Pros: Lots of variety , Lovely owners, Delicious homemade aloe juice.

Food tasted great, considerably less oil than most places in Vietnam. Portion size was decent (only had pancake, salad, and springrolls). Home owner is very nice, speaks good English compared to everywhere else thus far. Get a good feel that they support vegan message. Prices are a little more than Google had listed so I uploaded menu prices.
