Super Wahl!

Das Restaurant war nicht do einfach zu finden ... am Ende einer winzigen Gasse. Das Essen ist sehr schmackhaft. Tolles Familienprojekt - weiter so!

Pros: Sehr freundlicher, englischsprachlicher Service, Schöner und gemütlicher Innenhof, Sehr schön angerichtetes und schmackhaftes Essen

Cons: Etwas schwierig zu finden, ... sonst fällt mir nichts ein ;-), das war's!

Amazing cooking class + food

Ate here twice and did the cooking class with Mai. The restaurant and cooking class are both amazing. The staff is super friendly and the food is healthy, fresh and tasteful. They have a lot of nice vegan options on their menu.
We also had a lot of fun with the cooking class and Mai really took her time with us.🫶 Highly recommend!

Amazing experience at the cooking class.

The vegan cooking class is the coolest thing I have done on my trip! I had so much fun and learned a lot! Mai is amazing and I wish I could just hang out with her all the time. She has a great sense of humor, is knowledgeable and super friendly. Definitely eat here and take the cooking class. You won’t regret it!

Unique experience

Very friendly and fast service. Great choice of vegan dishes. According to my opinion a little bit too much of western style dishes. The vietnamese dishes I ordered were delicious. I enjoyed the cozy ambience. A restaurant with a lot of dedication to veganism.

Heaven for vegan foodie

Everything from welcome to goodbye. Friendly staff, amazing finger licking good food, freshly cooked and fast service.

Open kitchen, so you can see staff preparing your meals.

If I could, I would rate this place 100 out of 10 that’s how good it truly is.

Pros: All the dishes we ordered were excellent , Friendly staff, Food prepared with lots of care and love

Cons: None I can think of

Tasty

Really enjoyed the food here. However took quite some time to get the falafel bowl which my partner ordered so he had to watch me eat :). Would be better if they sync meals

Delicious and fun cooking class

If you are looking for an experience that combines cultural immersion, cooking, fun, and delicious food, then sign up for the cooking class. Great for anyone but a must if you're vegan!

Amazing Vegan Cooking Afternoon

A total must for anyone wanting a fun afternoon with a huge amount of delicious vegan food to munch on at the end. We really loved the market tour and learnt new things about eating vegan in Vietnam that have made us a little braver in future! There was a delicious drink and we had a few tastes along the way.
The whole chickpea team were super friendly and helpful and were there with just the right amount of support in getting the dishes right.
We left completely full with a takeaway bag with a full meal for later! Some feedback for the team: need a little more space for all the delicious dishes on the table and anyone over 5’6” struggled with the low height of the workbenches - however this did not spoil any enjoyment of the day [censored]

Pros: Friendly helpful team, Amazing fresh ingredients , Learning new things

Relaxed vibes and fresh food

When entering chickpea eatery, you're walking into a bit of a different world. The closed garden gives you a nice atmosphere and the whole place breathes positivity.

The food is also awesome. We had a bunch of stuff, the noodles, the chicken rice, the scrambled tofu Bahn Mi and the bao bun.

The chicken rice was my favorite, citrussy and vibrant and really hits the spot.

Kept coming back for more

Modest outdoor setting with delicious fresh food. Good selection of dishes ranging from Vietnamese to western cuisine at pretty reasonable prices. We enjoyed everything we tried which by the time we left Hoi A was a good portion of the menu. The waitress was always very friendly. We would definitely recommend going to chickpea, it was our favourite place to dine in Hoi An.

Heavenly!

Spent a few hours eating and relaxing at this beautiful place. It feels comfortable and homey! From friendly greetings to heartfelt “see you soon”, the staff was friendly from start to finish. The food: delicious and fresh! You can even have a peek inside the open kitchen from your table. Service is fast, food is great and all vegan, the atmosphere is relaxing - What more could you want?

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Everything

My home away from home!

Chickpea Eatery is just amazing. The family of sisters running it are delightful and Than the server is very friendly and sweet. Have a chat with them and you’ll see!

The food is the best vegan food I’ve had in Hoi An and truthfully falls in the top three of the whole country (I’ve been here for 40 days already). They serve a mix of western food and local Vietnamese cuisine. Make sure to try their Cao Lau and the Bao buns as an appetiser! Everything is made with love and with a big dose of humility. Love this place and can’t wait for everyone else to experience it too💗

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Delicious food, The best staff

So yummy!!

There are no words to describe how amazing our time at Chickpea Eatery doing the Vegan Vietnamese Cooking class was! Right from the start Mai and her wonderful sisters welcomed us with their kind, knowledgeable and passionate attitudes towards veganism and their cooking. We had an amazing time at the markets with Mai learning how to choose the best fruits, tofu and spices (plus some bonus learning about the Old Town along the way). All of this was followed by a wonderful afternoon of cooking delicious vegan food. The sisters had tailored the menu to be gluten free for us and we learnt how to make fresh spring rolls (that actually looked great and didn’t break!), how to cook tempeh right, an amazingly simple vegan chicken salad that is going to become a staple at our home, and some fried spring rolls that were so wholesome and delicious. Plus I can’t forget about the game changing sauce recipe we learnt! Thank you so much Chickpeas for the best day of our Vietnam holiday and for the work you do. We are so grateful to meet you and can’t wait to visit again!

Great Service, Amazing Food

Good mixture of vegan local cuisine and western food. As it was not busy during our visit, the owner had a long chat with us. Wish we would have went earlier, because she had great recommendations and insights to the vietnamese culture. Cooking classes are possible too.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Local vietnamese and fusion kitchen. We had the „Chicken Rice“ which is very popular in Hoi An - very delicious! Bao Buns very a little bit small… Ambiente and the staff are very nice.

Best cooking class!

Our dinner here was excellent. The menu is full of delicious treats, combining vegan adaptations of Vietnamese dishes, some more "mainstream" plates (e.g. vegan cheese platter) as well as sweet cakes and nice drinks.
We were so convinced and came back for the vegan cooking class. We can highly recommend this! It was full of love, very funny and a great experience.
Chickpea Eatery is a passionately run family business and you notice this in every little detail! We would have loved to come here more often.
