Great local restaurant in Can Tho - Edit
This place offer many options for vegeterian and vegans. On the weekends they also serve the famous Banh Xeo, even though it is not on the menu. Food is great, affordable and the staff is very nice.

Fastest service and good price but only average taste - Edit
As I arrived late in the evening I was still served within 5 minutes. But the fried spring rolls were just cold and didn't taste at all. The Hue beef vermicelli noodle soup was not really special as it did taste rather just like regular pho soup. The price for my dinner was below average. Maybe I should have ordered a hotpot like all other customers in the restaurant at that time, which were in fact all Vietnamese.

Most disappointing food I've had in Viet Nam so far - Edit
I ordered the seafood fried rice, it was dry and without flavour.

Preis Leistung okay - Edit
Essen war okay für das, was es gekostet hat. Es wird kaum englisch gesprochen, aber das Menü hat englische "untertitel". Personal sehr freundlich.

Great price, good food, good service - Edit
I got the bamboo shoot vermicelli noodles and a "pork" spring roll to take away. Was a huge portion, really tasty and such a great price! Highly recommend. The tofu and soy chunks in there were tasty and a great bonus as I thought it might just vermicelli veg based.
Read moreMy partner tried some and said it was just as good as a fish one he'd had elsewhere (often I find vegan soups can lack flavour but this really didn't!)

Absolutely recommendation! - Edit
First I was a little bit sceptical because of the very local atmosphere, but in the Ende everything was fine. Even though I have a sensitive stomach I never had any problems.
Read moreThey have various dishes for about 20-25k, which is quite cheap. Some offers like hot pot are more expensive, but still reasonably. The portions are okay, in case of big hunger you maybe need two main dishes, but when you look at the price, it's still okay. You also get a glas of cold tea with each order - awesome. The menu is also in English.
Staff is friendly but couldn't really speak English. I liked it so much that I eat here for breakfast und lunch.😄
Pros: tasty, cheap, local experience
Cons: -

Reasonable price, good food - Edit
The restaurant serves a good range of rice and noodle dishes and very good spring rolls. The staff is very nice and the service is quite fast. A little bit small rations but for the price completely okay (20-25k for a standard dish). Different dishes with mock meat, but which basically all tasted the same. In total, not the best restaurant we've been in Vietnam but definitely no fail to visit😄.

Decent hot pot - Edit
We decided to order one of the many choices available as that's what all the locals seemed to be having.
Read moreIt was a good price (80k for a 2 person hot pot) and very filling. Not the best hot pot I have tried in Vietnam but still tasty.

Good place - Edit
I dined here most of every day when I was in Can Tho. The food was good, many options to choose but my favourite were bi con (fresh spring rolls) and banh tam bi ( a kind of Vietnamese noodle with thick noodles and coconut sauce). The hotpot broth was salty for me. Staff was good, food was serve quickly.

Cheap, great food, fresh - Edit
Great food for a cheap price. If you order "Com Tam Bach Thao" you get a plate of rice with your pick of veggies (and mock meats) from the buffet... For only 18k VND. This is not only one of the cheapest "com chay" I've seen, but it was also way fresher than most! Really recommended. The staff also speaks English really well.

Cheap but nothing special - Edit
I had dinner here and had high expectations after reading some reviews. I had the bun mam and it didn’t taste that good, maybe I didn’t try the right dish! Packed with locals so the rest of the menu is probably better!

Amazing - Edit
It's on food street and it's amazing. There's an English menu and the ladies were very friendly. I had the Kim Tien spring rolls vermicelli noodles salad and the fresh spring rolls. Both were really good and so cheap!

try the hot pots! - Edit
If you go there with 2 or more hungry mouths give the hot pots a go! Had the sweet and sour one, super tasty base with mushroom, noodles and more and a basket pilehigh with leafy greens to put in and cook at the table ❤️
Read moreFresh springrolls are nice, the vegan pork rolls are ok to taste once for the curious - vegetarian pho also tasty! You get free iced tea
Always full and busy with locals (: good place!

Great vegetarian pho and very affordable - Edit
The pho was pho-nomenal :P it had mock meat and mushrooms and was served with a pile of sprouts and basil on the side.
Read moreUnfortunately the fried spring roll was stone cold, as if it had been previously fried and stored in the fridge.
They have an English menu but you need to ask for it. They were out of soy milk so I tried something called lotus seed milk. It tasted like liquid cotton candy.
Would definitely go back for pho. Very busy, which is a good sign but I did feel rushed and basically inhaled my food when I should've savoured it.

Delicious all vegetarian restaurant - Edit
Very delicious and fresh food at a very good price. Menus in English and no worries, it’s all vegetarian (even all vegan I suppose). We had a phó and a beef noodle soup, two beers and 2 fried springrolls as well as 2 fresh springrolls with mock meat. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was very efficient even though the place was stuffed - also with locals! All in all a great place and a must try! The furmiture is tiny but that’s how it is when you’re two tall Scandinavians!

Good with some uncommon menu items - Edit
I was pleased to read the interesting menu, which includes teas (red bean, brown rice tea), fresh spring rolls and breakfast options.
Read moreThe English menu and welcoming staff were helpful when navigating the options.
My noodles had a good mix of veg and were the rarer, egg noodle variety.
But the Vietnamese pancake was a delight: a crispy crepe-like pancake filled with lentils, a little mock meat, and whole leaves, even bunches, of herbs.
Pros: interesting menu, tasty
