not the best - Edit
When we just walked in, the owner was screeming at the client, who asked her to warm up the plate. Dont know exactly reason her to screem at him, but felt very weird. After that she kept coming back to us and talking about "this horrible client". The food was overage, felt like not freshly cooked. I had so many better cheap places in Vietnam and also Saigon. Unfortunately despite everything I cannot recommend the food.

A nice buffet - Edit
The kind man didn't speak English but speaks clearly with his hands. He offered us the buffet which was rice with something of everything. It tasted really good but was a bit cold.

Decent local food - Edit
Small local establishment with good service. We were given a choice of rice with a selection of everything from their buffet, or noodle soup. The soup was great but the buffet was overloaded with fake meat products. More vegetables would have been good.

Contrairement aux commentaires... - Edit
En voyage, je choisis mes restos végétaliens en fonction des commentaires des gens. Cette fois-ci, je dois avouer que mon expérience est diamétralement opposée à plusieurs commentaires positifs. Il n'y avait aucun autre client dans le resto. L'employé a fait une assiette sans même demandé ce que nous voulions. Il y avait 6 ou 7 plateaux à la température de la pièce. Bref, de la nourriture de rue sous un toit. Pas de breuvage! L'employé a tendu sa calculatrice pour montrer le prix. 40 000$DV qui est peu cher mais trop pour ce que s'était. Pour le même prix, chez Veggie Saigon, j'ai un thé glacé, une soupe et un plat principal de mon choix lors du spécial du midi (11h30 à 13h30), amabilité incluse. Bref, je ne recommande vraiment pas!

Delicious! - Edit
Super delicious foods and a nice service. Very local attitude. Ask for a plate with a bit of everything - different soy, seitan and probably something else cookings with basmati and greens. We went the next day and asked for spring rolls too. Crispy and good with spicy sauce. Probably they have soups too etc. Just ask!

Quick and Tasty - Edit
I got my food in about one minute and it taste sooo amazing. It is a mix of mock meat ( e.g. made of jackfruit, seitan or tofu) and veggies. One heaped plate costs 37-40 thousand VND which is pretty inexpensive for Ho Chi Minh City.
Read moreYou can also order a la carte which probably takes a bit longer to get.
The staff was a bit harsh but friendly.
Definitely recommend this place for everyone who is around district one.
Pros: fast, delicious

Quick and Cheap - Edit
Nothing special if you're around and looking for a quick bite. Be aware that they served just two dishes for Dinner. Soup and Rich both with some veggies and Tofu. Pretty cheap for Saigon Dist1 Area. Dish Water 46k. Thumbs Up.

Ok food, horrible hospitality - Edit
I was really excited to go and check out somewhere veg in Ho Chi Minh. After searching HappyCow I decided to make the trek to Thanh Tinh.
Read moreI walked in and wasn't greeted for a while so I went to take a look at what was inside the glass cart area. A sweet customer came up and asked if maybe I was going to try a soup, before I could respond the woman working there interrupted us with a plate full of rice and said "what you want? everything? ok"
I tried to go with the flow at this point hoping it was just a culture barrier and began to ask what one of the dishes was. She didn't acknowledge me and kept picking out pieces of everything and putting them on my plate.
Although it was nice to have a variety of Tofu/mock meats they were all luke warm at best.
While I was eating 2 women and a man were all walking around and I was never asked if I wanted a drink nor did any of the three ever come back over to me while they continuously served everyone else inside.
I was really disappointed in my experience this evening. I am well-traveled and don't expect anything above and beyond when it shouldn't be expected, but there is a way to be courteous to your customers even if there is a language barrier. (Which I'm not even sure is the case based on previous reviews)
Won't be back to say the least.
Pros: Variety of Mock Meats , Prices
Cons: service, hospitality, quality of food

Amazing food - Edit
Proper vietnamese experience. They seated us down and told us 'today's menu' - it was curry with glass noodles, one of the best I ever had. They brought the food within 5 minutes. The staff speak some English and they are nice.

Ask for rice and choose anything that's behind the glass counter. Should cost you 35000 dong per plate.

Would never, ever return to this place. Despite the decent quality, size and price of the meals, the owner is so aggressive and unnecessarily hostile that I'd rather take my chances at a steakhouse than ever set foot in this dragon's den again.

Good and cheep - Edit
This small place is out of the touristic are and there are mostly locals eating there. The man and woman working there (probably the owners?) didn't speek any English so I just agreed when he asked me if I want to have some of everything they had on the buffet.I got a vegetable soop and rice with loads of different vegetables and mock meets. All was really good, till I finally had something that looked and smelled extremely like chicken.... I'm sure that the rest was just mock meat, tofu and vegetables but about this piece I'm really not sure...But it's a vegetarian/vegan restaurant so maybe it just looked like...As I said, everything else was good and for a price of just 35000d excluding a drink.

I'm a noob - Edit
A plate of rice covered in any kind of veggie topping along with soup, and a drink, will run you 50 dong($2.25).
Read moreI liked the place. They don't speak English but their willingness to help and make you happy is a 5/5. I had them put everything on my plate so I could try it all, and I was happy with everything.
Its a clean spot. No a/c like most restaurants in Ho Chi Minh.

An OK meal - Edit
I came here with a friend, because it was close to where I was staying in District 1. We were offered the option of a yellow noodle soup, or a rice dish. I chose the soup, but when I saw my friend's rice dish with appetising mock meats, I thought I might order that later. I sampled the meats and one type was delicious and tender, the other a bit dry and flavourless. My soup arrived a bit later, also piled high with at least four types of mock meat, and some were better than others. The soup was otherwise fairly simple, with herbs being the only other ingredient in the broth. I asked twice about the ingredients and was assured it was all vegan, and the owner seemed slightly annoyed at my asking. The food was good, if not amazing, and cost about VND30,000.

Tasty food without menu - Edit
We were immedietly greated by a big smile from the owner when we walked in. She did not bring a menu, instead she put ceveral different dishes on one plate from the already cooked displayed food.
Read moreSome vietnamese girls got other things from the kitchen, and there was a price sign on the table in vietnamese, so I think they only have a vietnamese menu.
We thought the food was very tasty, it was cheap and the owner was friendly even if she did not speak much english.
Pros: big portions, great price
Cons: menu in vietnamese, staff spoke only a little english

nice eatery - Edit
i went there tonight for dinner. It's easily visible from outside because of the "vegetarian" sign in english.
Read morenobody was there to be seen so i just sat at a table and waited. about 5-10mins later a Lady came out of the kitchen to serve 2 guests.
they have a menu on the wall but the Lady just asked me in Basic english if i wanted soup (like the other guests) or Rice from the Food stall thingy they have at the entrance.
i ordered soup.
i received quite a big bowl of noodle soup with a lot of veggies and tasty Tofu pieces. i like it!
my Food cost 35'000 Dong which i didn't know before. the Food on the menu costs between 30'000-40'000 Dong as a refrence.
the was an old man (owner?) there too. but he only pointed at the Drinks to ask me if i wanted one. he didn't seem to speak english.
Pros: tasty food, freshly prepared, lovely interior
Cons: you don't know what exactly you'll get, no actual menu, no actual prices

Thanh Tinh, Ho Chi Minh City - Edit
I rocked into this place this morning. The guy running the place was super nice and super helpful. Without asking he plated up a mix of all the different dishes that were in his buffet cabinet. It was great. He also dished up some simple green leaf soup and also some kind of veggie or tofu burger type thing with a tomato dip. All were great. I enjoyed it so much I went for some extra and he also served up another soup for me. In total this came to a fabulous 430 000 dong. That is what I call great value for your dong.
Read moreI showed him a printed piece of paper with images indicating no egg, no cow milk, no honey. He immediately shook his at the concept of using such ingredients.
The owner didn't seem to speak any English. When I asked about the opening hours so I could ensure the correct info was in the happycow listing, he asked a youngish girl eating there for help. She couldn't have been nicer in translating.
When I handed over a couple of happycow stickers they were overjoyed.
Pros: All vegan, Helpful staff, Great food & great value

Awful - Edit
Zero stars. Three adults, one four year old, had a terrible dinner. Food was barely edible because it was old from lunch. Indicated they didn't cook hot food after lunch. Male owner was rude and exasperated when we sat down, and stood over us with a glare for a time while we ate. Perhaps sick of tourists? No excuse. Abominable behaviour. Smashed out the bill for us on a calculator but I then insisted on a written one which made him more angry. A kinder woman wrote it for us and it was 10,000 VND less than his version. Not a big difference but annoying. Stressful. Unsettling. Stomach ache.
Read moreCons: Bad Food at dinner time , Rude Owner, Pushed us to order more than we wanted

Hi Vegolove,
Read moreWhat a shame you found the place to be like this. Me and my other went here this morning. Our experience there was the people couldn't have been nicer. We had a ton of great food. It seemed a great place to us run by lovely people.
Keep well, Stevie
