Außergewöhnlich

Hier gibt es zwei Karten, eine für Allesesser und eine vegan/vegetarische Karte. Die Beschreibung bzw Deklaration von Inhaltsstoffen und Allergenen könnte übersichtlicher sein. Service und Ambiente waren nicht gerade der Hammer, dafür hatten wir ein schnelles, preiswertes und sehr leckeres vietnamesisches Essen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super leckerer Vietnamese!!’ Die Portionen sind schön groß, das Preis-leistungsverhältnis stimmt absolut und man bekommt echt leckere und traditionelle vietnamesische Speisen. Es gibt eine Riesen Auswahl an veganen Gerichten und ein paar vegetarische. Fast alle beinhalten mock meat (was verblüffend echt und lecker schmeckt). Wer das nicht mag findet schwer ein Gericht ohne.
Kann das Restaurant aber trotzdem mehr als empfehlen. Gehe sicher wieder hin!!

Pros: Sehr viel vegan (+ mock meat), Große Portionen , Günstig

Cons: Kleiner aussenbereich (für den Sommer)

Everything here is super delicious, the curries are really awesome and the mock meat is the best I’ve ever tried. It’s always awesome service, huge portions, quick and super tasty.

Pros: Really good value , Lots of vegan choices, Very delicious

(Probably) a good place if you are looking for mock meat

Large vegan and vegetarian menu, as well as very friendly staff. The portions are big and the homemade baverages tasty. The food is on the greasy side and falvours are okay.
If you do not like mock meat this is probably not the best place for you. (I thought I had found the one main dish on the menu without, but as it turned out I did not...) Can not vouch for its taste, because I am not the biggest fan of mock meat to begin with and gave it to someone else. Apart from that it is decent food.

Bestes veganes asiatisches Essen

Ich wollte gerne 5 Sterne geben, das geht aber nicht, weil es kein rein vegetarisches oder veganes Restaurant ist. Schade, weil die 5 Sterne hätte es verdient.
Freundliche Mitarbeiter, suuuper leckeres, vielfältiges Essen, große Portionen, angenehme Preise und stets schnelle Bedienung.
Unser Stammrestaurant seit einem halben Jahr und wir lieben es wie am ersten Tag.
Danke an das Team!

This small restaurant offers very very good vegan Vietnamese dishes for very affordable prices. I love their mock meats and the fresh veggies they use in every dish. Very kind staff as well.

Pros: Great food, esp. fake chicken/duck, Good prices , Kind staff

Leckeres veganes Essen für wenig Geld

Vietnamesisches Restaurant mit komplett veganer Karte, vegetarisch und omni allerdings auch möglich.

Das Essen ist (für den Preis) sehr lecker und nach der Bestellung bekommt man auch recht zügig sein Essen. Besonders empfehlenswert ist die Erdnusssoße.
Manche Sachen kommen (teilweise auch tiefgekühlt) aus Vietnam, was nicht so ökologisch ist, allerdings überwiegt für mich der "vegane Aspekt" diesen kleinen Nachteil. Vieles wird aber eben auch frisch direkt in der Küche gemacht.
Man kann sich beim Koch alles wünschen was geht, er baut einem dann was leckeres zusammen. Die Karte ist aber gut zusammengestellt, sodass das eigentlich nicht nötig ist.

Sehr nettes Personal, allerdings mit wenig Deutsch- und kaum Englischkenntnissen.
Cash only!

Manchmal wird man als neuer Gast "übersehen", dann sollte man nett nachfragen. Ich glaube, die sind einfach manchmal verpeilt.

Hinweis: im Restaurant selbst gibts kein WLAN und kaum Handyempfang.

Warum 4 Sterne? Das Restaurant hat eher Bistrocharakter und die Bedienung übersieht einen manchmal. Das Ambiente ist auch eher dunkel und das Interieur etwas altbacken. Das Essen selbst bekommt aber 5/5 Preis-Leistungspunkte von mir.

Pros: es gibt eine eigene vegane Karte, Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, Nette Bedienung

Cons: Ambiente ist nicht so schön (sehr dunkel), Personal kann kaum Englisch und wenig Deutsch

Very tasty

Went there for the 3rd time and it was very nice. The waitress was friendly and the prices were small. So good!
Especially for non-vegans that want to taste cruelty-free Vietnamese kitchen!

Nice vietnamese restaurant

The Chay Viet is located in an alternative area ca. 20min from the Elbe. The interior was very cozy with a weird amount of old clocks and a TV that showed Vietnamese television. The staff was super nice and directly asked us if we are vegan, the menu offered a lot of vegan options. Ranging from vegan duck and chicken to even shrimps. The food was tasty and the price fair.

Huge vegan menu

Dozens of vegan and vegetarian dishes to choose from, very large portions. The vegan "duck" tastes good. Located in the middle of the Neustadt district.

Pros: Many options, good prices, large portions

Cons: Not really a beautiful restaurant in my view

Cheap vegetarian food in Neustadt

Chay Viet offers a vegetarian menu consisting of several dishes as pho, different mock meats or even vegan desserts.

The staff is very friendly but doesn't speak english. The first thing they will ask you is whether you want the regular or the vegetarian menu, so take it into account when ordering.

The food was filling and the portions were quite large. One thing that surprised me is that they used seasonal vegetables instead of trying to use traditional out-of-season stuff. The dishes were quite tasty nonetheless.

Pros: Cheap, Uses seasonal stuff

Cons: Not as traditional as one might expect

nice place serving mostly mock meat

Very nice original atmosphere and lovely staff working there. All shakes and lassis can be made vegan and there's an entire menue for vegans. Most dishes contain mock duck, mock chicken or shrimp, which is nice to try out. If you're looking for more healthy, fresh dishes you should maybe look for another place.

Pros: entire menue for vegans, mock meat (mostly seitan), cheap

Cons: food is a bit greasy

Not convinced yet...

We started off with a little communication error wich ended up with us having the wrong starter, but we didn't mind it that much so we just ate the "shrimps" instead. The food however was ok, but I wouldn't say great, lots of mock meat if that's your thing. Judging on the other reviews they maybe just had a bad night, but I wasn't really convinced by it. Portions were big and they definitely​ had an authentic feel to the place though...

Tasty mock meat

We went there after hiking in saxony switzerland and ordered one dish with vegan duck, one with tofu/wan tan and a fried (battered) shrimp dish. The vegan duck and the shrimp was amazing! It really tasted like real thing but in a pleasant way. The vegetable part of two main dishes were ok but tastes like typical "Asian (rather Chinese than Vietnamese)" restaurants in Europe and had a strong taste of bamboo shoots so if it's not your thing (like for me), it isn't very special. Also the wan tan dish was supposed to be with peanut sauce but I couldn't taste any peanut. Would go back again when we are in Dresden though and try ordering pho or a soup with wan tan (couldn't find it on the menu though) and the shrimp/duck again. The price is cheap, the portion is Huge and food came out quicker than we thought. Oh and they had a separate no-meat (vegetarian) menu!

Pros: Good mock meat (duck and shrimp we tried), Big portions, cheap price, Fast and good service

Cons: Vegetable part tasted more generic, Cash only

life saver!! and oh so good!

passed this on a stroll through Dresden and came back rather late at night (11pm) after leaving a concert. we asked whether there was any chance we could still order food - and the owner(?) told us it'd be ok if we were alright with take-away. so glad we did - I haven't had proper wan-tan ever since turning vegetarian, I think. and these were oh so good!!
My friend and I also had some veggie dish with mok chicken. ugh. insanely tasty! i never know how asian places do this, but it was incredibly convincing. the veggies were ok, I'm not a huge fan of bamboo as I always feel everything cooked with it tastes of it, but I'd definitely come back whenever back in this beautiful city!
Also, the location is amazing and a not-to-miss area in Dresden! I liked that there's seperated menu for veg/meat so you can be sure that you can actually choose anything and still be on the safe side ;)

Pros: variety & choice, location & service, taste!!! & price

Vegan Duck!!

I can't believe that we've been living in Dresden for over a year and only recently discovered this place. The vegan/vegetarian menu is separate and huge. The vegan duck is so delicious. They also have Pho, which is not easy to to find vegan in many places, so I'll be trying that next time. The mint tea is also really good, as it comes with orange and lemon slices.

Pros: Vegan duck, affordable, menu is huge!

Cons: cash only
