Yum yum yum! - Edit
Plenty of vegan choice, clearly labelled! Lots of dairy free and gluten free options included. The place is aesthetically fun. I LOVED the cauliflower wings- I have never tried any before !! and vegan rolls! Prices may seem “higher” but the portions are good 😊 if anything, maybe too big!
Read morePros: Clearly marked choices , Large portions , Fun vibe

Excellent - Edit
We had a fantastic meal at Rice Rice Baby, where we enjoyed some delicious Vietnamese food. We ordered the vegan wontons, vegan nest spring rolls, and the sweet and spicy lemongrass tofu—and all three dishes were incredible! The portions were generous, and bursting with flavour, leaving us more than satisfied. The service was fast and friendly, and the interior was pretty cool, with all-pink decor everywhere you look. It really added to the experience. Plus, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan options and a fun dining atmosphere!

Trendy, tasty! - Edit
This trendy, divey Vietnamese restaurant had a fun vibe and unbelievable food. The sweet & spicy lemongrass tofu was one of the best tofu dishes I have ever had, and the banh mi was amazing, as well. (My mom thought they were a bit too spicy, though! Whoops!)

Chicken in the ‘vegan’ curry - Edit
Ordered the vegan tofu curry takeaway, found lumps of chicken meat in it. Restaurant staff were unapologetic when I called to let them know. Requested a refund and was told it would be processed by the manager. Followed up with a phone call days later and was hung up on by staff member who said “the manager will have your details”. Went into the store over a week later to request a refund and was told I need to send an email in order to receive the refund. Emailed and finally received a refund. Terrible experience and would not recommend.

Really good vegan options - Edit
I tried two vegan options - the tofu vegetable soup with wonton and the coconut fried rice (ask for the vegan option). Both were really good (I highly recommend the second!). The restaurant is not too expensive, the portions are large.

Heard good things about this place from people. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype and was a bit disappointing. Tasted OK, but nothing special

Best Vietnamese I’ve ever had - Edit
Soo good!! I got a takeaway of tofu avocado banh mi and vegan wontons. The banh mi bread roll itself was so fresh and crusty, lots of sauce and they do not skimp on the avocado!
Read moreThe wontons were bigger than I was expecting, lovely and crispy and so tasty. Sauce a wee bit spicy for me but I can’t handle spice!
The restaurant is very funky/kitsch but chill vibes with indoor and outdoor seating.
Highly recommend!

Superb - Edit
I was very impressed with the large selection of vegan options here. I had the tofu banh mi which was absolutely delicious and filling. I also had the banana sago pudding which was also completely vegan - I absolutely love how they actually have vegan desserts, whereas most non-vegan places do not. The pudding was delish as well, and overall the vibe was very cool and the staff were also very nice. I would definitely recommend this place if you're needing your vietnamese food fix!

Vietnamese baguette was delish - Edit
Was looking for some takeaway food and there were a heap of vegan options on their takeaway menu. Spoilt for choice! The baguette was fantastic. Great amount of tofu avo, and the sauce was delicious. It would be cool to see them using vegan mayo, however!
Read moreLooks like a cool spot for lunch or dinner. Will definitely be back to try the full menu.
Pros: Delicious baguette , Lots of vegan options, Cool vibe / very central
Cons: Would be good to see vegan mayo!

Delish vegan food - Edit
We ordered online (very easy), and picked up our meal. We had the vegan baguette (very fresh white baguette filled with avocado, tofu, daikon, carrot, pickles, mayo), fresh summer rolls which were veggies & avo with peanut sauce wrapped in rice wrappers, and vegan wontons (deep-fried and filled with mushrooms, tofu, mung beans, carrots, onions, sweet and sour sauce). If those descriptions haven't got your mouth watering, you must be dead! It was all delicious, ready exactly when they said it would be. Highly recommend.
Read morePros: Easy online ordering, Ready when promised, Food tasted brilliant

Tasty vegan options - Edit
There are a number of vegan meals, identified as vegan on their menu. I've eaten here twice - one time I had fresh spring rolls and a nested tofu salad. The other time a tofu fried rice (made especially on request). They also have a vegan curry, and a vegan noodle soup. Helpful staff, and a good sized meal. Fresh food!
