The best place for veg food in HCMC - Edit
Every single dish and it's flavour profile is a work of art. The flavours are distinctly Vietnamese yet, exciting with twists of new and modern influences.
Read moreThe staff here speaks amazing English and is highly considerate of allergies and food habits. Everything on the menu is plant based so vegetarians can thoroughly enjoy their meals without worrying about something being lost in translation.
The ambiance is awesome, and the bill is always reasonable.
I've been eating here atleast once a day and am proud to say that after trialling almost all of the daily menu items there isn't one dish I can't recommend.
The attention to detail on everything is just beyond what I've come across anywhere else on my travels.
One really amazing aspect of this place is that they can tweak your meal to your level of context as a vegetarian:
If you're a lifelong vegetarian and/or vegan you can choose dishes that are flavourful and support your choice of veggie taste.
For those who eat meat, some of the mock meats are so very similar to what you would get from an actual meat version, but it's not meat!
The selection of sauces and drinks is also something that was awesome and so very new. The dedication of this team is next level!
Overall this is an amazing middle ground for those looking for a sustainable approach to plant based alternatives or just continuing your practice as a dedicated plant eater.
I love Rau Oi and you will definitely too!
Pros: Super Tasty, Healthy, Comforting

OK, but soft on flavors - Edit
Their presentation of food was good and the atmosphere is nice, but the food lacked in flavor. Food could definitely use more robust spices. It was... just a bit bland. In trying to make the faux duck like real duck, they went to far with the faux fat - it overwhelmed the rest of the texture.
Read morePros: Spring rolls, though like everything, a bit bland.
Cons: Seasonings are a vegetarian's best friend., They don't infuse much flavor., Too much faux fat in the faux meat.

Excellent!! - Edit
Beautiful restraunt inside! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the owner was a gentleman and spent a lot of time chatting to us. A great variety in the menu and loads to choose from, the food was excellent! So good we went twice whilst we were there! The fried stuffed Tofu Lemongrass was the best I have ever had! Would highly recommend a visit!

Good experience - Edit
This is a lovely place, but it wasn’t exceptional. Their breakfast menu looks amazing, but they only serve one of those dishes per day, so there’s so many things you want to try but can’t. And compared to that, the other dishes look underwhelming. They charged a fee for the napkins, which they only told us about afterwards.
Read moreThe food itself was good, nothing to complain about. If you’re nearby, this is a good option. But compared to other restaurants in the area, it can’t compare.

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed our food at Rau Oi.
Read moreWe appreciate your comments on our breakfast menu; we offer a daily special for freshness, but understand the desire for more variety.
Regarding the napkin charge, we sincerely apologize if this was unclear; we aim for full transparency. In Vietnam, it's a common practice for wet wipes to be a small separate charge. Rather than absorbing it into our dish prices (which some establishments do whether you use it or not), we chose to show it clearly for transparency. We regret any surprise this caused and will review our communication.
While we're happy to be a good option if nearby, we truly strive for every visit to be exceptional, and your input is valuable as we continuously refine our experience. We hope you'll consider visiting us again.
Warm regards,
Rau Oi Vegatarian

Surprisingly delicious food in an alleyway restaurant with a simple rustic interior - Edit
Hidden away in an alley with an interesting menu, lots to choose from and plenty of vegan options. Each item described in detail which was helpful as the server we had wasn’t particularly informative. Especially enjoyed one of the specials with aubergine, mushrooms & glass noodles. Met one of the owners who was passionate about the healthy, vibrant food they create & a pleasure to meet. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Wow! - Edit
This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants that I have eaten in, anywhere. Such an interesting and imaginative menu. We were spoilt for choice and probably over ordered. I'm glad that we did as every mouthful was wonderful. The service and ambience were excellent. We felt so welcome. If you are a vegan or vegetarian or even if you are not, do not miss out on eating here whilst in Ho Chi Minh City. Well done Rai Oi Vegetarian! I'll be telling people about you for many years to come.

Expensive but not impressive - Edit
The food was rather pricey for its portion. The flavour was alright for me, but its price didn't do its justice. One dish cost more than 100k, which was a bit too much. Anyway the ambience was nice.

Special Duck Meat and nice menu - Edit
The menu was really great and I couldn’t decide what to choose. In the end, I went for the vegan duck which is a great copy of the meat-version. They imitated the fat very well but still it was very crunchy from the outside. So, if you like that, go for the duck!

Best tasting food from our 3 month trip - Edit
Honestly I cannot believe the last couple of reviews here. This was the best food I’ve had whilst travelling around Asia for the last 3 months! Every dish was so flavoursome and fresh. We ordered the mushroom oyster salad, mushroom rolls and another type of rolls before ordering the mixed tofu as the first dishes were so good. The restaurant has a very trendy vibe also - a perfect place in my opinion !

Spring rolls - Edit
Who serves dried ass spring rolls? Every amateur knows that rice paper dries up quickly and becomes not chewable. And the amount of coriander they put in should be illegal.

Good vibe, good food - Edit
I found the menu a bit difficult to follow. The tax is not included on menu prices so we were surprised by the bill. They also provide you with wet napkins when they lay the table, and we were then charged 10,000 Dong for them at the end. We had a 5% discount for something, though I don’t know what.
Read moreI had a soup, it was good and I enjoyed the different flavours but I’ve had better. The ‘duck’ rolls were also nice but slightly overpriced in my opinion.
Pros: Good and hearty food
Cons: Sneaky pricing

Atmospheric and tasty - Edit
The Quack Quack is great. Also tried the blue lemonade and the tofu sandwiches, which all have different sauces. Everything tasted great and the prices were reasonable, at least from a European perspective. Easy to find, fast WiFi, friendly service.
