Great little cafe/restaurant in HCM - Edit
We’ve only been in Vietnam for 4 days and we already visited this place 3 times. The food is great and there is an entire vegan menu to pick from. The owner is really nice and helpful. there are lots of games you can play when you’re waiting! Can definitely recommend!
Read morePros: An entire vegan menu , Great food, cheap and good WiFi , nice owner, who offered to make anything vegan
Cons: Not so clean tables
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for the lovely review. Yes, I can make almost anything vegan. From toasties to cappuccinos to Vietnamese "white" coffees to pizzas to.......The list can go on.
Read moreI just wish I know who you are. I've had 2 great vegan couples in last week, and 3 vegan groups in. All ate about 3 times!
Happy vegan travels!

Would love to give five stars! - Edit
I just a full English breakfast but it was totally vegan and it had everything! Even bacon, scrambled egg, sausages! Nothing left out. Even soya in my tea, feels like I'm home again! Just a little stingy on the beans but oh well!
Read morePros: Serious amount of vegan options, 4 or 5 different vegan burgers! WTF?!, Unique and cosy setting
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for the lovely review. We have 10 different vegan burgers. Vegan junk food....Yes please! Happy vegan travels.

vegan menu clearly labelled - Edit
Though they may serve meat there is a clear vegan menu that you don't even need to request. Fab food, will be going back again tomorrow

Thanks for the review. I don't want dead flesh on the menu. I can't stand it. But sadly my wife does. My dream is for the place to be 100% vegan. Slowly getting there. Again thank you Emily for the review. Gotta go now and make some vegan butter. Cheers!

Yum Home Cooked Vegan Food - Edit
Loved this place for some food that reminded us of Home. We had the big brekkie in the morning and came back for dinner to try the bean burgers. Everything was really tasty and the owner is super friendly. He gave us recommendations of things to do in HCMC. Big vegan menu. Was nice to have a tea with soy milk.

Good vegan western options - Edit
Nice vegan owner who is happy to give recommendations about his own food and will veganize even more options than the one on the vegan menu!
Read moreIntroduced us to some locals animal rights activists (cube of truth) and told us some recipes.
Would definitely come back!:-)
Is a bit more pricey than other restaurants but if you‘re looking for some western food for a change it‘s always more expensive than the Vietnamese
Food!
Pros: Nice place to hang (boardgames and books), English spoken
Cons: bit pricey compared to other restaurants
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for the wonderful review! It always makes my day when fellow vegans leave with a satisfied stomach. And thank you so much for going out of your way to write your review. Happy vegan travels!

Thanks so much for your review. Yes, you are right. We have vegan food and meat too. I really don't want dead flesh on the menu, but my wife does. Such a shame she won't change her mind. But thanks for enjoying your vegan food. Hope you discover more delightful vegan food on your travels.

Western and vietnamese food - Edit
Food was alright but the service horrible
Read moreFilthyVegan.
Was it yesterday you had your meal? I can only presume it was because you haven't mentioned what you ate. If I'm wrong, then sorry. Yesterday was very very busy. A full house. Every seat taken. And then as soon as people left, then more filled the new empty chairs. And only 1 cook and 1 waitress to look after all. If it was yesterday, then you could of given us a break about the service. Today I haven't sold any vegan food. I apologise for the service. Happy vegan travels.

Food was tasty. - Edit
We enjoyed our meal here but portion was small and it lacks cleanliness.

What a shame you walked away without a great experience. Thanks for saying you enjoyed your meal. It would be really nice if you said to me or my staff that your meal was too small. We would of happily given you more at no extra cost. But well done for being vegan. I hope you will discover more fantastic vegan food on your travels. So happy vegan travels!

Amazing! - Edit
The food was amazing! Had a great vegan menu, with so many options. Even had extra vegan options on a board inside. The owner was so friendly and helpful, spoke English and had recently turned vegan which made things so much easier. Would highly recommend.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options. Very helpful and friendly
Cons: None.
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for your nice review. You're correct about me recently becoming vegan. Anyone reading this reply I want to say this: I was vegetarian for 30 years (since I was 14 years old). I have been vegan since January of this year. It's the best choice I have ever made. And it is so easy. If you are thinking of becoming vegan, but are not yet, then what is holding you back? As I said it was the best thing I ever did. And likewise it will be for you too. Great for the environment. Great for your health and of course great for the animals. Plus being vegan opens a whole new world of beautiful delicious food. Thanks all.

Deserves 10 stars - Edit
BEST ENGLISH VEGAN FOOD! The owner of the restaurant is so lovely. He is kind and funny and vegan. The English meals are incredible. Homemade burgers, quiche, bangers N mash, Vietnamese food, ice cream, and apple crumble. Just to name a few favorites. I ate here so many times while in Ho Chi Minh and would say it's my favorite place to eat vegan food out of all the places I tried the 2 weeks while in the city.
Read morePros: Reasonable pricing, Delicious homemade food, Great environment
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for the great review. It always makes me happy other vegans love my homemade vegan food. Kylie you are a star. Thanks for visiting and having a chat or two with me about veganism and other things. Safe and happy travels.

Vegan Full English - Edit
This place has an extensive vegan menu including an amazing full English vegan breakfast. Although the place sells meat when we were there 90% of people were eating the vegan stuff. Would give it 5* if the app would let me.
Read morePros: Extensive vegan menu and full English breakfast, Lovely owner
Cons: The vegan breakfast is 140k - a little steep?
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for the lovely review. My wife and I own the place. I'm vegan and she's not. I really want the place to be 100% vegan but she's so very stubborn. Hopefully one day she will realise veganism is the way forward for the business BUT especially for our planet.

Lot’s of options! - Edit
This place has a nice location, but is very small. Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options! The Vegan gravy was delish. Owner was very nice, and also Vegan. They have Vegan cheese pizza which i did not try but would go back for! Overall pretty good experience here. My friend tried coffee with coconut milk & sugar. It was so delish! I had fresh squeezed lemon juice also very tasty. Spring rolls were okay, could use more veggies. They had games and books as well!

Great food/ nice atmosphere / great variety - Edit
The small restaurant near the backpackers area is a nice contrast to the loud restaurants in the near area. Has vietnames and western vegan and vegetarian food. Tried the pho with mock-meat and my friend tried the pizza. All the western dishes are made by the owner himself. You can play games and find books in the „dinning“ room

Lots of options - Edit
This is a quaint little coffee shop/restaurant with a huge menu. They have both British and Vietnamese food (vegan and non-vegan versions of each). There are board games, and oodles of books. The owner is super friendly and a vegetarian who recently turned vegan and is always willing to talk about veganism!
Read moreLots of choices of drinks, my omni father actually suggested we come back tonight for drinks because he liked the atmosphere so much.
I had the vegan pho with mock chicken which was a tasty soup, and the mock chicken was so close to the real thing. However, it wasn't what I think of when I get pho.
Today I went back and had English breakfast tea with soy milk, something I'm constantly looking for in Asia. There's also a lot of beer and other drink options.

Disapointing - Edit
Couldn't pull a smile from the waitress.. glasses were dirty, cutlery looked like they had just been dipped in water after a previous guest had enjoyed a meal. Burgers, crepes and apple crumble served on wet plates.. Crepes swam in sirup although we had asked the waitress to only add a little sirup to the bananas.. Very disappointing experience.
Read morePros: Was open during TET holidays.
Cons: Dirty, no smiles, ordinary food

good food, AWFUL service - Edit
The food is good, nothing spectacular, just good and big portions. But the ladies who work here are completely awful and rude, as if they were forced to work. They were 4 ladies and we were the only 2 customers. They didn’t even bring us glasses for the water we ordered and when we finished they took away the glasses (that we had to get from the kitchen) half full. I read the reviews before coming but I didn’t expect this. Also, I asked for a vegan fish and chips and my sister for a non vegan one, we repeated it 4 times and they brought 2 vegan ones, my sister ate it anyways because it was nearly impossible to talk with the ladies who were almost yelling at us and she loves vegan food, but that’s NOT what she wanted. We planned to come again tonight (before the fish incident) but we won’t do it anymore. It wasn’t a good experience and I feel that I wasted my money.

Your review makes me feel sad. I really try my best to bring delicious vegan food to customers tables at a good price. Your opinion counts a lot to me. There's nothing I can change about the food because it's already some of the highest rated vegan food in Saigon. My wife and I weren't there to keep an eye on things. They are all family members who don't speak English. The only thing you are wrong about is that they do like working here. They get free food, free accommodation and a higher salary than the norm in this area. Plus you are the first reviewer in all these years who has given me one star.

love the dishes not loving the staff - Edit
The dishes are absolutely amazing and the vegan menu is quite big. All of the dishes are really tasty, but ive rarely seen such unmotivated staff. No smile, no acknowledgement and at times even rude. Thats a shame, because the guy owning it is super friendly and talkactive with his customers.
Read morePros: good vegan food
Cons: rude staff
FilthyVegan.
Thanks for giving my vegan food praise. I recently became vegan after 30 years as a vegetarian. The food will only get better. For example there are now new vegan burgers: vegan curry red bean, corn and sweet potato burgers. Vegan mushroom and pinto bean burgers. Vegan black bean burgers. More great stuff to come! The staff: All I can say is sorry. It's a family run business and my wife employs family and one friend. The auntie is super friendly. Her mate is super shy and can't speak English. Maybe you confused shyness for rudeness. Again sorry you didn't like the vibe.
