Accommodating service, average food - Edit
I'm giving the restaurant 3 stars only because the server was very accommodating to my mother's dietary preferences and helped us order. As for the food, there are far better restaurants in saigon. We tried the red thai curry, curry fried rice, pumpkin soup and some steamed vegetables with a caramelized vietnamese sauce. There was no balance of flavours in any of the dishes - either too bland, too sweet or salty. This was our last vietnamese meal during our trip and we have eaten at enough restaurants to understand the cuisine's flavour profile (which was not at Chay).
Read moreI had high expectations considering it's michelin star and looks fine dining, but was thoroughly disappointed.
The interiors are beautiful so it's a good stop for coffee or drinks, otherwise skip it.
Pros: Service
Cons: Vegan food

We wanted a nice place to eat before visiting the War museum. It’s super close by and we was not expecting it to be so fancy for such a small price! There menu is very extensive but doesn’t label vegan items

This is definitely a more pricy restaurant, but the interior is beautiful, the service is very good and the food was delicious! I ordered the curry with pumpkin and it was so good.😌 The staff is also really friendly.

Beautiful venue, good food, high prices - Edit
Saigon is full of fancy vegetarian restaurants. I visited here as Hum was closed and I was visiting the American War museum.
Read moreThe garden atmosphere and top customer service are great for special events and dates and a little awkward as a solo backpacker among large affluent families. I really enjoyed the food, however was a bit dissatisfied by the expense given the portion sizes.

Good for vegetarians /vegans, not for Coeliacs - Edit
This is a lovely restaurant hidden down a side street, it resembles a garden. The menu is great, lots of interesting options. The food is very tasty.
Read moreThey are not good with allergies.
I had an allergy card in Vietnamese and used Google translate to further explain my restrictions. When the food arrived I double checked that the noodles were gluten free & not made with wheat flour. I was reassured they were. They clearly were not as I have been very unwell since the meal and it has been over 24 hours since eating. This is a typical response when I accidently eat gluten. They had checked with some items but didn't seem to understand really.
I would say good for vegetarians & vegans not good for Coeliac or gluten intolerant sufferers
Pros: Venue, Ambience, Taste
Cons: Not good for allergy sufferers

Dear Ms. Im.n.er.goadventuring,

Mixed review - Edit
It was a bit on the pricey side for restaurants. In my opinion, it wasn't necessarily worth it. I ordered four things, two of which were great, but the other two were not so good, partly because one wasn't prepared well. The garden atmosphere was nice. Not sure I would go again.

Phenomenal - Edit
Found this place for lunch on our way to the war museum and was blown away. Incredible vegan food, some of the nicest we’ve had in Vietnam. Slightly on the expensive side but definitely worth it. Our waiter spoke great English, food was delicious, and it’s set in an done-up outdoor garden which gives a really nice feel.

The food is of Vietnamese fusion. The dishes are all super tasty and beautifully presented. I think the experience much more comfortable because I was seated inside where it wasn’t too loud. The wait time however can be a little long because the place can be busy at times.
