Ethical and authentic delicious Vietnamese food owned by a vegan family

We had 2 banh mi's - falafel and protein and the dumplings. Both delicious with homemade mayo. Their menu consists of the classics Banh Mi's, spring rolls and Phos but with lots of varieties.
We loved reading all of the little notes on the walls and their ethos as a genuine vegan family running a small business. They lost income by turning their business vegan but still stuck to their ethics so a lot of respect for that!
The food was delicious and super affordable. The place is a little out of the way down an alleyway and just has two little tables. Ethical businesses like this deserve all the support they can get, we will definitely be back to try more!

Cute little Restaurant

Small vegan restaurant. We tried Vietnamese Banh Mi here for the first time, also the Spring Rolls and it was really good. Owned by a super friendly and nice family, would definitely recommend it!
They also fill up your water bottle, also for passengers, which is very nice!

Delicious hole in the wall Banh Mi

All the food we ordered were great. Only fault of this place was we had to call the attention of the person cooking several times.

Pros: Delicious, Affordable

Cons: Hot inside, Few staff members

Great banh mi!

A small restaurant down an alley with delicious banh mi and more! They also ask you to bring refillable water bottles and don’t use plastic bottles there for environmental reasons.

Delicious dumbling

I liked the fried dumbling, and staff is very kind. He gave me pieces of orange style fruit.

lovely

Loved everything about this place. In a tiny alley, out of someone’s family home (I believe!), and the service is so warm and friendly. The food was fast and delicious. Perfect. I hope we get to swing by again before we leave Hanoi!

Good local vegan food

We shared the mixed Bahn mi and mixed noodles. Both were very yum. The bahn mi had a good amount of filling. The noodles were nice and fresh, but I've given a 4 out of 5 because I feel the skimped on the toppings (didn't add very much of each thing). I would recommend to try it out though.

Great vegan street food

We came here three times in our four days in Hanoi and tried almost everything on the menu. So nice to find authentic and delicious vegan street food!

It‘s hidden away in a tiny alley but not hard to find if you know where to look.

Pros: Authentic, Good prices, Delicious food

Tiny restaurant, good food

Very tiny family-run restaurant. Recommended if you want to visit an authentic, not touristy restaurant, but still want to eat vegan. Very friendly staff and extremely affordable! Banh mi was good, could be more flavorful.

Great banh mi

We tried two different banh mi, but recommend the standard ‘mixed protein’ one, as this was the best. It had some v good homemade vegan mayo in it. A casual place with some seating inside and outside in the alley. The guy working there was super friendly and the place had a lovely story/ethos for how it became vegan.

Tasty food

A very small family run restaurant that offers a fully vegan menu.

The Pho was tasty but the environment let it down slightly. The restaurant is essentially the family’s front room. It is probably a very authentic Vietnamese eating experience though.

Delicious spring rolls

The place is a bit of a hole in the wall and gets quite busy but it's so cute and the story of the family business is so sweet. I would rate the spring rolls a 5/5 and the bahn mi a 4/5. Although I liked the bahn mi I thought it was missing maybe some herbs or like a housing or pickled component (but maybe that's just what I'm used to in Aus!). Would definitely recommend if you are in the area, we tried the soy protein and the mixed bahn mi.

Nice service, good food 🧡

A small hidden place with vegan food, you can try different bahn mi and some typical vietnamese food.
We loved:
-Pho (Hot noodle soup)
-Mixed noodles (cold noodles)
-Crispy pillow dumpling
The owners are super friendly. We recommend the place!
