Hot pot heaven - Edit
We had the Thai hot pot for 250.000 dong for 2 persons. It was super delicious!! Also, you must try the cashew-yogurt, it is sent from heaven!! The owners are running around helping everyone with a smile. Really loved this place.

Really nice calm restaurant tucked away from the busy road (but accessed by it) and run by Buddhist monks.

Food For All - Edit
This is a wonderful restaurant.
Read moreThe sign is on the top of the lane and nearby shop owners point the way to find the restaurant upstairs.
There is a menu as well as a daily buffet table. The menu is extensive and the food we had really fresh and tasty.
The buffet is payment by donation into a box in the shop as you leave.
All the food was varied with white or brown rice, fried plantain, pickled vegetables, sweet and sour tofu, stir fried vegetables and fresh soup of greens.
The best bun loc I’ve had, yummy crisp spring rolls with mushrooms and other tasty vegetables.
One of the staff was happy to explain anything and his English language was good, so it really helped.
I’d eat there any time.

Buffet and menu available - Edit
Very tasty buffet of approx 12 items plus white and black rice. Juice, soy milk, and brown rice tea also available. Menu available also with quite a number of made to order dishes. When I was there a group of about 8 young women had ordered from the menu some noodle dishes not available on the buffet. Very reasonably priced.

Bestes Essen in Hanoi - Edit
Der Ort ist etwas schwierig zu finden, ist man mal dort ist es aber definitiv ein Highlight. Wir waren drei Tage in Hanoi und gingen zweimal dort essen. Das erste Mal gab es ein Buffet mit vielen leckeren Sachen, umgerechnet ca. 1.25 Euro pro Person. Es war wirklich so gut. Beim zweiten Besuch gab es kein Buffet, also bestellten wir von der Karte (was auch möglich ist, wenn es Buffet gibt). Auch dieses Essen war extrem gut und günstig. Definitiv unser Highligt in Hanoi.

It’s ok. Not special but cheap - Edit
Went here on a Tuesday during lunch time. Offering buffet for 40k. Fully vegan
Read moreBuffet didn’t look appealing and not much to choose from: I think 4 dishes only plus rice and most already gone (before 1pm)
I opted for the bun cha with noodles, herbs and soup with nuggets
The nuggets was just beef veganized not nuggets. I asked for no cilantro but instead got only cilantro as herbs haha
They changed it then after explaining I want anything else but no cilantro.
Taste was too sweet for a soup and oily
Wouldn’t return
Very friendly though and it was 45k for the dish. Mostly locals eating here
No English

The place is amazing!
Read moreSuch an original food! All dishes sounded tasty! I've never seen any dishes like they have in Vietnam.
I had tofu with mushrooms wraps - they are served w/o rice.
And as far as I understood, they do not have any dish with rice, only noodles.
But the lady was so sweet and they made rice for me!

Very atmospheric - Edit
I was alone in the restaurant so it was very quite. Some music plays in the background but it's very comforting. It has no Fork or knife so that feels a lot more authentic.

Donation-based buffet - Edit
Stopped here for lunch and enjoyed their all-you-can-eat vegan buffet alongside lots of locals. We even got chatting with a guy who works across the street and he told us he eats here every day on his lunch break. The selection isn’t enormous and the dishes are pretty basic with a homemade kind of feel to them. My favourite was the tofu and gourd stew—simple, umami, comforting.
Read moreIt’s a pay-what-you-can kind of system. We ate just one plate of food each (still recovering from poorly tummies) and decided to pay 120k for the two of us.
Pros: All vegan 💚, Affordable 💸, All-you-can-eat 🤰
Cons: Not much variety 🥱
