All vegan, ok meals - Edit
An all vegan Vietnamese restaurant, fantastic, but our meals didn’t have as much flavour as expected from Vietnamese dishes.
Read moreI had the Beyond Pho, I would recommend the Traditional Pho instead. They’re the same except for a whole Beyond Beef patty in the soup🤨?
Vietnamese quisine also usually has numerous gluten free options, unfortunately Easy Vegan does not. My wife had the Crispy Tofu which was light on for flavour.

Pros: 100% vegan

Tasty confusion - Edit
Ordered two mains and two rice dishes to take away, and ended up with 11 containers instead of 4. There were various sauces, noodles and whatnot and I had no idea what went where. But since everything is 100% vegan it wasn't really an issue. Also according to the menu the order total should've been $75 but they only charged me $66 (again, not an issue).

Cảm ơn for the good food. - Edit
I am a big fan of any kinds of Viet noodle soups as they are quite popular back home in Thailand. Felt so blessed to have found Easy Vegan because all the noodle soups taste so good (haved tried all), very refreshing and always come in generous portion. Most importantly, no chance of the cross-contamination from animal products in my food as they are 100% vegan🤍 My fav is Dill Fish Noodle Soup.
Read moreThe reason why I chose to visit Easy Vegan:
- Google Map's Top Rated Restaurant. I was in the North Richmond area and Easy Vegan showed up as the Top Rated Vegan Restaurant near me so I decided to try and that was the moment I knew this would be my go-to from now on. Nam is the legend! Cảm ơn🤍🙏

Nice spicy noodle soup - Edit
For the first stop on my Melbourne vegan food tour I decided to go with Vietnamese food. I ordered my usual, spicy noodle soup, along with some fried rolls. The noodle soup was good with a tasty assortment of mock meats.

Straightforward place with friendly staff in a rough neighbourhood - Edit
The place is close to tram stops and easy to get to by taking trams 12 or 109. The area looks a bit rough with graffiti everywhere. The restaurant is quite small and has the option for dining in as well as take away. It you dine in, because the place is small, you don't get much privacy. Others are likely to hear your conversations. Noise is somewhat drowned out by the TV which was playing Supreme Master TV. This restaurant seems to promote the Supreme Master cult, which promotes veganism. As such it is a cult I would happily support.
Read moreThe staff here seem very nice and keen to serve you. I ate the beyond pho and it was very nice and full of flavour. I look forward to trying more food on the menu another time.

Pros: Supports a good cult , Easy to get to via tram, Friendly staff
Tiggy
I think we need to careful about blindly supporting something just because it is associated with veganism.
Read moreBreakfastKlutz
There is a google review that claims the tv plays pro trump, anti rights etc propaganda, and the owner proudly wears a trump hat. I definitely would not support that being attached to veganism, if true.
Read moreTiggy
Yes Supreme Master Ching Hai is a Trump
Read moreSupporter.
BreakfastKlutz
Creepy, I wonder how many Loving Huts actively promote the cult, and Trump too then? I haven't been to a loving hut for a few years, and Richmond is the only remaining Melbourne one.
Read moreIf the owner of Easy Vegan is a Trump supporter (as suggested in the google review), the business does not interest me.
Tiggy
I just read the Google review and it does not fit with my experience of the restaurant or owner and I have been here regularly and recently. I will check follow it up. This place, Loving Hut, Huong Viet and Just Vegan all play Supreme Master TV but I don’t know if that means they agree with Ching Hai’s support of Trump.
Read moreBreakfastKlutz
I thought it was odd being just one review, even though the review reads honestly to me, that does not mean that it is. There is also a very weird review on here for the business, but reviews, both good and bad, should always be taken with a grain of salt.
Read moreTiggy
I just spoke to the a staff member of Easy Vegan who told me that the business does not support Trump or send money to Ching Hai. Conversely I also spoke to the owner of Loving Hut, who told me he *did* support Trump. Unfortunately it is the case that SMTV does screen anti-progressive, anti-choice abortion material and I saw it today. I will follow up with longer conversations to make sure I have the businesses’ positions on Trump correct.
Read moreBreakfastKlutz
We have not been to Richmond Loving Hut for a long time, it was a little weird from memory though. Perhaps the google reviewer confused the 2 businesses. The dodgy cult tv thing is a problem, just as giving money to someone who supports such ideologies is.

Yes that is exactly what I thought: the reviewer has confused the two businesses

Great value and delicious - Edit
I came here with a vegan group for dinner. I wasn’t sure what to order but decided on the custard apple smoothie and the v-chick satay noodle bowl. The custard apple smoothie was delicious. Nice flavour and not too sweet. I was beginning to regret not ordering an entree but then my bowl came out and it was huge! The v-chick pieces were generous and I thought the balance between noodles and vegetables was good. It comes with a broth which I enjoyed. Very good value and nice staff.

Good vegan Vietnamese - Edit
Have been here a couple of times now, today we got the broken rice again and it's SO good, the pork and egg is delicious. The pork is the same as in the grilled pork noodle bowl, which is another favourite, and has a great mix of fresh greens.
Read moreThe broken rice comes with a little bowl of soup, which was very garlicky and tasty.
Today we also had the beyond pho, which has a delish traditional light broth (although I couldn't detect star anise which is very important in pho), there was a bit too much meat, and I realised I'm not a huge fan of the beyond beef. Also strangely, there was no hoisin sauce served with the pho. I still very much enjoyed it though.
The lemongrass tofu rice paper rolls were FRESH and good (couldn't taste any lemongrass though), and I will be back to try the prawn rice paper rolls.
Also, everything is SUPER affordable here. For two mains and an entree, we paid $46.76.
25/4/23 - came back and ordered the stir fried rice noodles which was a little bit lacking in sauce, and had a bit of a chilli/sweet chilli sauce taste which I didn't like or expect. Also got the salt and pepper tofu which is probably the worst S+P I've ever had. It was just fried tofu, no batter, no salt or pepper. Have deducted a star.
The prawn rice paper rolls were really good and fresh.

Pros: Fresh ingredients and freshly made delicious food, Very affordable

Easy does it (cheap Veganamese food, that is) - Edit
With one of Melbourne’s vegan Vietnamese restaurants having closed not too long ago, we need to treasure the ones that remain, and this is now my local. Because it had been a while since I’d been here I realised I’d tried most of the menu, and I was also reminded how huge the servings are for such a cheap price. When I first came over a year ago I wasn’t sure about the food, but my experience since has been largely positive. This time we chose a couple of mains for lunch: the spicy vutton and the Easy Vegan noodles. My companion and I differed on which was our favourite. I liked the noodles with their substantial mix of vegetables and meat, and pleasant combination of nutty, savoury and slightly sweet flavours. My companion preferred the spicy sauce with the vutton, but while I didn’t mind the dish, I found the sauce itself a bit sharp on its own. Keep this and our other Melbourne Veganamese restaurants in business.

Quick easy vegan - Edit
Went in today for lunch, the food came out so quickly. Had the vegan prawn rice paper rolls, vermicelli with chicken and fried rice. Have to say they vermicelli with chicken was a stand out. Good place if you’re into vegan mock meats. The vegan prawn rice paper rolls were yummy, and didn’t have a fishy taste like some other mock prawns.

Less than peaceful - Edit
Went in for lunch alone at 1.30pm on a Friday.
Read moreRestaurant had a few tables dining in.
One heavy-set young Asian guy sitting with his mum (with their back to me) was watching an action movie at full volume on his laptop. I asked them to turn down the volume.
He ignored my request but changed seats so he was facing me.
As I was leaving I suggested he use headphones in a shared dining space.
He said something about being part of/knowing the family that own the place and became enraged jumping up with clenched fists and a contorted face. He appeared on the verge of violence.
The owners stood around watching but saying nothing.
I suddenly became very aware that I was the only Caucasian-looking (I'm mixed) person there.
I apologised to diffuse the seemingly escalating situation and left.
Pity as the food was quite good and the lady serving seems very nice.
I prefer a peaceful environment to dine in though.

Excellent addition to Vic St - Edit
I really enjoyed my trip to Easy Vegan - happened across it while I was in the area at a quiet time in the afternoon, and the service was polite and attentive from the start. The food was delicious, creative and came at a reasonable speed. I got the classic pho which had all the trimmings of your typical pho with the different mock meats (similar to the non-vegan version) and the rice paper rolls, with broken rice combo to takeaway for my partner, who also loved the food. Will definitely be back soon!
