Delicious Vegan Food; Near Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre

Fully vegan eatery with quite an extensive menu. Loved the bestselling Mushroom Tofu Pancake, Bun Rieu, and housemade Cashew Milks! Even my non-veg companion praised the food; wish we could have tried more! Staff members were friendly and spoke English well. Hghly recommend this eatery. Located relatively near Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre.

good food

the place is nice. food is very good and price is ok (cheaper than other restaurants around, more expensive than vietnam average). a nice dish will cost around 75.000 vnd. the first time here I tried the chayfood rice and it was very good and with good amount of food. the second time I got fresh spring rolls which were delicious but not good amount of food, specially considering the price (75k), and the thai curry which was good.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

So this charming vegan restaurant was my favourite in Hanoi. The waitstaff is so friendly, the food was amazing, and the restaurant itself was comfortable and welcoming. I ordered a tofu sausage banh mi and a dry rice noodle bowl. Both were incredible. Later that day I walked 3 km just to try their vegan milk coffee and it was divine

Pros: Banh mi, Price, Vegan milk Coffee

Very friendly stuff and delicious food

A little place in the middle of Hanoi, with a loud street in front of it. Only matters when sitting on the balcony. For us, it was interesting to watch the traffic of Hanoi for the first time.

Pros: Very friendly stuff, Delicious food , Everything is vegan

Cons: Loud street, when sitting on the balcony

Really good food

Shared a lot of dishes and liked everything - so tasty!
Just the drinks were bad (black sesame soy milk and something with black rice)

High end restaurant

It's a very classy restaurant and the food justifies it. Ignore some of the loosy translations like the "gruel" dessert when it's just a nice custard/pudding. The spring rolls were extremely good too

Pros: High quality, Justified price, Clean

Very nice place

Our visit to Chay Food & Dessert was very pleasant. The staff were welcoming and it was a relaxing and calm place (maybe because we visited outside of peak times?). It was a great location to cool down after walking through the heat all morning.

My husband had the singapore fried noodles and loved them. I had the Hoanh Thanh soup and enjoyed it, too, although it was not the best soup ever. But we do recommend a visit here! It was also great to have total peace of mind since this restaurant is completely vegan.

- Visited in July 2023 -

Pros: Calm atmosphere , Friendly staff, Completely vegan, Great Food

Not the best in flavour or price

Really pretty restaurant however both the pho and bun rieu were trying to be too healthy at the price of taste. Was a bit disappointed by the lack of flavour.

Pros: All vegan , Even have vegan milk coffee

Cons: More expensive

Great fully vegan spot

Stopped here for some spring rolls as a snack while passing, they were some of the best I tried in Hanoi! We came back for breakfast and they have a combo deal where you can get a drink, a main and some fruit for a set price.
They had some interesting breakfast options like mushroom porridge, but we tried the two bahn mi flavours they were offering - both delicious. Not the best bahn mi in Hanoi though!

The staff were super lovely and if we had time on our trip then we definitely would’ve been back to try the dinner as well!

10/10

I came here for lunch and was not disappointed! I usually don’t like fresh spring rolls because of the texture but the Pho rolls were amazing and served with the most delicious peanut dip. I also had the banh mi which was fab!

Tasty and cheap

This was the first place we went to in Vietnam! Pretty cheap (although there are far cheaper options in Vietnam) and I had a large portion. The staff were nice and helpful, and the food was pretty good. It was nice not to have to worry about the language gap with regards to being vegan!

Great food

We ended up eating here a few times while in Hanoi. The Pate Bread (mushroom Banh Mi) was absolutely delicious - easily one of the best Banh Mi’s we had and the fried spring rolls were incredible. Sitting on the balcony had a great view. Overall a great restaurant to try

Pros: Delicious food , Balcony seating

Cons: Not a huge drinks menu

Loved the bun rieu and bahn mi(pate bread). Would highly recommend, just minutes from the lake!

Best food in vietnam

Portion was smaller then expected. But totally worth every penny, so flavourful
