Thanh Dam

Asked the price for soups and com chay; was quoted 30 K and 40 K respectively, even though everything on the menu said 20 K. Strange 'Buddhist' attitude towards foreigners.

We were told 40,000d for com chay and agreed even though it's double the price of com chay anywhere else. Afterwards we realised that the listed price for all other dishes is 20,000d. They clearly overcharge foreigners as a matter of course.

The food was okay but not worth paying the foreigner tax.

Standard quality cheap vegan place. Everything listed as vnd20000. Com chay (rice and stuff) not listed. In 2 years living in Vietnam this is the only time we have been cheated in a chay eatery. She charged us double and basically blamed us for not asking the price when everything listed was the same price. It's not going to cripple us financially but it's the principle. With loads of veggy places in town why give these hard bitten people your money?

Just stubled opon this place. Good variety of mock meats and veg. Not the cheapest buffet place I've been to at 40,000 dong a plate but definitely good :) would go again! Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the place was clean.

We had looked for this place in the Dalat Market without success, but happened to find a new looking restaurant on the way to Linh Son Pagoda and discovered it was Com Chay Thanh Dam.
The owner was welcoming and spoke very good English.
She had an excellent variety of mock meats on display, as well as an array of other dishes available.
Both times we ate here we tried several different dishes and all were well cooked and extremely tasty.
The restaurant was very clean and the meals reasonably priced.
Highly recommended.
