Süße Atmosphäre, ganz leckeres Essen

Unglaublich große Auswahl. Hauptgericht war sehr lecker, die Frühlingsrollen waren trocken.

Pros: Nudelgerichte

Cons: Fried spring rolls

Lovely place with huge menu

After a long day of walking, we decided to spoil ourselves with a nice warm hot pot and porridge.
The hot pot had a lot of different kinds of mushrooms and broth was tasty. We asked for not spicy (since my partner can’t handle the Vietnamese spice level) but they are happy to give you fresh chilis to spice it up.
The vegetables which came with the hot pot were nice, I was just expecting some kind of tofu too, so a bit disappointed that it was not included.
I also wanted to try my first savory porridge, which was super flavorful and came in a big amount (it’s a meal in itself).
For the beverages we took the vegan beret (which is non-alcoholic) and the black sesame milk (surprising in taste but pleasant).

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good price

I had a delicious pho and a lotus juice. There were mostly local families there when I went and they were all smiling at me and being friendly. I paid only 4 USD for my entire meal. The staff was really nice.

Good food

A lot of nice and fresh vegan options.
I ordered the tofu with vegetables and rice, which was delicious.

Friendly staff, but weird that I had to pay for tissue, because they didn’t told me.😅 There is not a nice atmosphere. I was sitting downstairs because of my foot and there was no vibe at all.

Tasty food and good service

Varied choice of dishes. Friendly staff although they didn't speak English. Service took a little longer than expected but that might be due to the elaborate cooking. Food was tasty and prices accordingly fair.

Delicious and fresh!

All of the food was extremely fresh and delicious. The roll wraps had a lovely balance between the indulgent mock meats and the crunchy fresh fillings. The mango salad was also extremely refreshing!

All fresh and delicious ingredients.
The place doesn’t look like much. Especially on the first floor. But fresh ingredients will win me over everything else.
A perfect mushroom salad! Not something I’ve said in an Asian restaurant before.

Pros: Delicious oyster mushroom salad

Cons: The first floor looks like a homeless shelter, The decor is uninspired

Vietnamese food made by Flavor-Gods!

What an accommodating place! There are three levels: you can choose to dine on the second floors, where you sit on the ground, or you dine on the third floor, sitting on regular chairs and tables. The menu has been translated into English but sometimes you might still have questions. The servers can accommodate you well, using their limited English skills and Google translate. There are so many dishes to choose from, you could come here every day of your vacation and try something new. Prices are moderate - not dirt cheap, not expensive - simply average. The food though: Next Level. So flavorful, beautiful - simply wow. Especially the vegan shrimps grilled over charcoal are to die for (they’ve been removed from the menu, but the kitchen still makes them on request!!). Veggies are fresh, sauces and condiments are tasty. 10/10

I’m in heaven

I’ve grown up eating Vietnamese food and since going vegan, I (or my family member) need to make it ourselves or I go to the popular vegan places is Sydney that are mediocre. The food was so good and I wish I had more time here to go back. I recommend getting the bun rieu. I’m going to miss amazing Vietnamese vegan food!

Nice

Was happy they had vegan pho as I'd been wanting to try that. No idea what pho is supposed to taste like but it was really good at least. Nice place, friendly staff

Delicious soup

I loved the Bun Hue soup I had here. It was a large portion with a nice serving of different plant based protein and noodles.
The restaurant was nice and cozy, you have to take off your shoes and sit on the floor.
My partner also ordered lychee and mint smoothie which tasted a bit artificial to me, but he liked it!

Not great food.

I didn't like quite the 2 dishes that I had. There is room for improvement. The environment and service was good though.

Gutes, leckeres Essen

Pho war sehr lecker und auch die diversen Saucen dazu.
Im 1. Stock kann man gemütlich am Boden sitzen. Wer das nicht mag, kann noch einen Stock hinauf gehen und dort auf Sesseln sitzen.

A lot of choices with good prices. The atmosphere is really nice, you seat on the floor to enjoy your meal and listen to relaxing music. Perfect for the end of a long day.

Very, very tasty

Really nice little restaurant, and the food was very tasty. Highly recommend.

Only issue was that it was very hot inside, so if you are struggling with the temperature, I'd try somewhere more open.

Pros: Very tasty, Fully vegan, Reasonable prices

Cons: Very hot inside

Would recommend

We had an amazing dinner at Sen. The menu was so big it was difficult to choose and when the meals came we were happy with our choices. It was tasty and good portion sizes.
I would say that the prices were about in line with what I was expecting from the setting. The waiters chat to us over google translate and we’re very helpful. You sit on the floor here so just be aware if that isn’t comfortable for you.

Pros: Easy to navigate menu, Tasty, Quick service

Cons: Not accessible

Absolute must visit 💖

So many options it’s hard to choose, everything we had was amazing and good prices with perfect portion sizes. Sitting on the floor made for a more unique experience as well.

Great!

Beef was awesome! Shrimp was scarily real also I’ve never had an eggy consistency like that ever before. They nailed the egg fried rice!!

I ordered shiitake mushrooms with satay and they brought beef but the beef was nice so can’t complain😄

Amazing food

The food here is delicious and very imaginative. It’s a place where you sit on cushions on the floor, and there aren’t many tables, so it didn’t really feel suited for a solo diner; I was very conscious that I was occupying a whole table. But I loved the food, despite part of my order getting forgotten.

Fine, but a bit overpriced

Had spring rolls and a stir fry with noodles, and a mango smoothie to drink. Spring rolls were very good, stir fry was just okay; flavor was kind of all over the place. Smoothie was quite nice, not too sweet.

Several of the options on the menu couldn't be made. The language barrier made the reasons unclear, but it seemed to be due to missing ingredients. Atmosphere was a little odd—huge group of staff and their friends crowded around the entrance, and other staff was watching a very loud video or something in the next room inside. But that may have been because I came at an unusual time.

The food was good enough, but not really worth the premium. Quality was more or less on par with the thousand other cheap chay places in the area.

Good food

Food was really yum, the ginger sauce was incredible on the tofu. However, vibe was a little off. The staff weren’t very accommodating which can be a bit awkward for a solo traveler. Not the worst, but not the best.

Great vibe

The food here is incredible. Had the fried tofu with lemon grass and spring rolls which were excellent. My only gripe is the portion sizes are small and had two order two mains. The food is also quite expensive for HCMC.

Pros: Excellent food, Peaceful atmosphere

Cons: Pricey, Small portions
