best organic noodle soup in Hanoi

Staff is lovely. We found that communication in English was not a problem.
We ate here 3 times during our stay in Hanoi.
Had the noodle soup every time, and it was different each time. Lovely flavours and a bargain at 30,000.
They also do an amazing rice mushroom pudding and spring rolls but the offer changes daily.
No written menu.

They also have a small store where they sell organic products at very reasonable price.

The name of the restaurant is actually Tam An Lac. Apparently they have a couple more restaurants around the city, but I'm not sure where and we were told that the staff doesn't speak English there.

Hidden gem

I went here after my yoga class since the studio is just next door.
Didn't expect much and got totally surprised by how good it was.
They don't have a menu (at least not in English). The lady who welcomed me spoke English quite well and I could choose between a rice or noodle set menu. I went for the noodles and got a super delicious noodle soup with tofu (which I asked for) and some mock meat. Price was 70k for the dish and a fresh coconut.
The place is nice, quiet and clean. They have several tables to properly sit at.
Will definitely try to go there again.

Update July 26:
I went there today again and was surprised that they offered a buffet but of course didn't say no. They had a lot to choose from (quite a lot of different mock meats but also spring rolls fresh and fried, different noodle dishes, veggies, ...) and it was all again super delicious.
Today it was a bit more difficult with the communication but it worked out and I found out that they offer the buffet every 14th, 15th, 30th and 1st day of the moon calendar (today it was the 14th. apparently).
Price was 100k.

Pros: food is great

Cons: no menu, plastic straws (I brought my own)

Traditional Vietnamese food, clean place, kind staff.

we went one time, the lady who run the shop it's a monk. She didn't speak english but she really try to understand and help us.
the food was fresh and place is very clean!!
Also, there is a shop, so you can buy organic vegetables, any kind of nuts , seeds, vegan cookies, etc.
You should walk 200 meters after the main gate.

Pros: clean, fresh food, cheap for Hanoi!

Cons: maybe a little bit difficult to found.
