Overrated - Edit
Very unpleasant smell. And looks like it needs a good cleaning. Food was just ok. Had an upset stomach afterwards. Ginsing water was super sweet.

Terrific Bargain - Edit
If you’re ok with a little street noise, this place is a great bargain. I ordered the stir fried beef with pineapple & mushroom. The dish includes a lot of crispy veggies and the flavor is delicious. Just a touch of spice for a little kick! It came with rice and a small sour soup. All for around $2 USD. Hot tea is on the table for free.
Read moreThe English-speaking staff is very pleasant and told me what I was ordering was vegan. I think most items are vegan. I would definitely recommend!

Fair price and food - Edit
Veg restaurant with good menu options. Staff were friendly but didn’t speak great English and got our order wrong/didn’t bring everything in the end, but the food that did arrive was nice. Not huge portions, the stir fried beef with pineapple didn’t come with any rice which seems unusual. Noodle soup ok.

Decent! - Edit
We ordered 2 pho, 2 fresh spring tolls, and several different mock meats from the buffet. A big meal with a dmall water came out to 120K for 2 people (see picture)
Read moreThe pho was tasty although we missed the star anis flavour. Came with 2 mock meats, mushroom and tofu. 4/5
The spring rolls hade a slice of fake bacon and lots of mint leaves, but the wrapper was chewy. 3/5
We liked some of the mock meats and weren't convinced by others.
The buffet was cold. Service was nice from the young english speaking lady.
Restaurant serves eggs and milk so make sure to ask.
Pros: Price
Cons: Eggs and milk on menu

Nice pho - Edit
Nice pho soup, fresh spring rolls. Surprisingly we also got an odd cake in addition, strange but nice. If you come late, there’s a chance that some of the dishes are out. Free green tea on the table.

Best vegan buffet ever ! & best vegan pho - Edit
We were so amazed by the entire menu of vegan/veggie options, plus the absolutely wildly big vegan buffet. I’m so impressed they make so many dishes there. Everything was delicious. We had the buffet for 30-45,000 Dong and also both got vegan pho. The vegan pho was the best I’ve had yet! Wanted to try so many other things on the menu but didn’t have the stomach room lol. Friendly staff, clean establishment, a whole other room of seating in the back too, if front is full. And you can also buy vegan ramen packs here! I believe there was egg on the menu although we were able to avoid entirely and easily.

Good food, not fully vegan - Edit
I’m really sad to write this as I the girl serving us was so nice and helpful that I wanted everything to be perfect.
Read moreThe restaurant on the outside states everywhere vegetarian, happy cow currently states vegan as of 2020, we asked the waitress and she said it was vegan. However, there is fried egg on the menu. We ignored that thinking that it was maybe vegan egg and just order safe in case.
My husbands meal of fried noodles & veg contained egg, we think within one of the mock meats (maybe the beef one?). We know this as he has a severe egg allergy and had an instant allergic reaction.
We should have asked, but we thought as it’s vegan it wouldn’t be an issue…
It’s hard to discuss this with them, we’ve had it so many times before where people are adamant there’s no egg, but it’s a sneaky ingredient they’ve missed, or they’ve cooked on the same pan as a fried egg. It’s hard to explain with language barriers. So we didn’t, we just said he was Ill from something else, but they didn’t charge us for that dish as he’d only had one bite. Which was unexpected and very sweet.
The food here is good, if only it were all 100% vegan.
The mock meat skewers we had that were fine were:
‘Chicken’ lemongrass - this was very good!!
A flat square one
I also had the pho, which was good, but also had the beef mock meat which may have been the egg culprit

Delicious buffet - Edit
We went later on in the evening and they still had a HUGE selection of mock meats, all tasting pretty delicious. I tried a bit of everything with rice and it only cost 45k, soup included and free tea! Highly recommend, I bet the food is far fresher in the morning so probably even better!

We arrived at closing time and the owner told us "the place is closed, sorry". We said to him 'please, we are hungry and all other vegan restaurants are closed ' so he opened only for us and said he has some rice left, and he gave us a very nice meal of rice and tofu. He was very nice to us!

Nice find in Da Lat - Edit
Friendly staff and the buffet was great even in the afternoon (we ate there around 3pm). Try the au lac claypot rice, it’s fantastic. Crispy fried tofu is also delicious.

Delicious Local Grub - Edit
There's a lot of debate between people who do and don't like faux meats, but I happen to be an avid fan. The Bun Bo was filled with delicious 'beef' slices and mushroom things that made it a super hearty lunch. The broth was also flavourful and had a slight kick to it moments after it touches your lips.
Read moreI'd love to go back and try all the other noodles too.
Pros: Affordable prices, Authentic local cuisine, Quick service

AMAZING FOOD - Edit
Really good food, incredible flavours, a real authentic Vietnamese venue with lots of options. NOTE NOT FULLY VEGAN: my friend and I went to grab a creme caramel looking dessert from the fridge to which the lady serving us ran over and informed us that there was milk in it.

Pho is good! - Edit
the pho rice noodle soup is fab and comes with a couple different mock meats as well as chilli/garnish to add to your taste. The veg broth was not overly oily too.
Read moreWe went on 2 separate occasions and got different customer experiences each time. We were not acknowledged or given a menu the first time as they were super busy the with many Locals eating and ordering for takeaway. The second time, the older lady was very smiley and welcoming.
Pros: Inexpensive, Tasty food

Very good - Edit
I went back here twice. Recommend to order from the menu, the buffet price varies, ended up paying 45K for a simple dish. Menu options are cheaper and better imo, buffet was cold as the microwave didn't work so maybe ask beforehand. English not well spoken

Must go-to in Da Lat! - Edit
No word of a lie, the “spicy beef noodle soup” I ate here has to be the BEST thing I have ever eaten in my life!! Sounds like a major over exaggeration, but you have to try it for yourself! The most flavoursome broth, rice noodles, veg and mock meats. It was a big portion and only 30K! Full of locals so you may have to share a table, but super worth it.
Read morePros: Tastiest food ever , Super cheap
