Cheap but rats sit under the table

The food was ok, a plate cost 20.000vnd which is very cheap. However, while we were eating there were 3 rats sitting under the table next to us. When we showed the owner she just laughed. After we found a long black hair in the food we left. I would not recommend eating there…

Very tasty!

Delicious and diverse array of vegan food. You can choose what you want from around a dozen buffet options (well-seasoned tofu, salad, eggplant. fish alternative, etc), and they’ll dish it into a plate for you. Plus a small bowl of soup, all for d20,000. I had breakfast here at 9am on a Wednesday, so their early opening hours seem correct.

Tasty food for a fair price

Friendly staff and really tasty food. Chose the dish with a bit of everything as the reviews on this platform were so positive about the dish. Menu says the price is between 20 and 15k, which is really cheap and we were planning on giving a big tip because the food was amazing and well worth it. However when we wanted to pay, the dish was 40k all of a sudden, meaning that instead of 30k for 2 dishes we now paid 80k. Huge difference and even though it's completely worth it, it's not a nice way to finish lunch. Just be transparent about your rates and all is good, but do not triple the price just because a tourist walks in. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Good cheap eats

Visited this restaurant twice during our stay, once for takeaway and the other for dine in. For the price, this place cant be beaten in Hue. Cheap and tasty food, dine in requires you not to think about the cleanliness but that is part of the experience.

Pros: Cheap Food, Generous plate size, Drinks

Cons: Restaurant not clean, Limited English

Just ask for 1 plate and a drink and this is what they bring. at Am Thuc Chay in Hue

Cheap and good

Like mentioned here before, you get a good portionised plate for 10k VND. That is ultra cheap. The old woman didn‘t spoke english, but was very friendly.
Good taste- nice place.

Good place

10k for a plate with a little bit of everything, very delicious and great value. We ordered some pumpkin milk and lotus milk which were both really good and made with soy milk. The two ladys are sweet and very friendly.
Its a local place, not super clean but authentic experience.

Pros: Cheap, Good taste, Little bit of everything

Best value-for-money !

The food wasnt exceptional (but it certainly wasn't bad!) and a little bit cold, but the lady is really sweet, the portion size is good and 10k (including a tasty soup!) for the whole plate is incredibly cheap.

Pros: Very cheap

Better than most restaurants

I feel giving 4 stars as it is not super exciting but it was definitely better than most restaurants for me. Plate for 10k, I hope they don't use glutamate.

You probably missed those buffet places if you have been to Thailand before.

Amazing duck

A basic place but was served the most amazing 'duck' which we had to check twice it was not meat/was vegan. Language was a barrier but that's our fault not theirs. They just bought three plated over to us for 20000

Pros: Good buffet

Cons: Almost too good it had us doubting

Simple and tasty

Really simple setting, canteen style place. There was a set menu of food- the owner gave us a little of each of the 4 or 5 dishes onto our plates. There was some rice and noodles and also some veggies and a couple of tofu/mock meat dishes. It was all very tasty and so cheap! Also the home made seed milk was delicious its like drinking an ice cream shake!

Pros: Tasty, simple and easy.

Cons: Not a lot of choice - if that's what you want.

Cheap tasty local food

We got there just before closing at 2pm and had fried rice and a combination meal with tofu, jackfruit, rice and noodles. Both were tasty and they were the only 2 meals on offer. Cost 20.000 Duong ($0.86 USD) for 2 people. Not far from imperial city.

Great place

Amazing lotus seed milk here. Such a humble place. The owner Bi has been vegetarian for over 25 years and vegan 10 years. It runs in the family so the soul of this lifestyle is apparent. They do hotpot and rice dishes. Check opening times they close from 2-4pm. It's a local place so it's a good price.

Pros: Owner speaks some English.

Cons: None

Bi the owner speaks some English. A wonderful soul. at Am Thuc Chay in Hue
