Tasty

Update - had a papaya salad accidently contaminated with chicken. Put me off big time. Thank goodnes I saw it before I ate it. Beware.

A good place to go for a nice dinner & drink. Always busy. Friendly staff. The fresh vegan papaya salad and eggplant chips are lovely. Make sure they give you tomato relish with the chips as the mayo isn't vegan. Also with papaya salad make sure to say VEGAN - no fish sauce!! The spring rolls are made with rice paper & are a bit greasy. The vegan pho is not bad but could have more flavour. One or two other vegan options that change from time to time. Overall a tasty place to visit in an area with few vegan options.

Pros: Papaya salad is fresh & yum!, Tasty vegan wine, Fresh & tasty with great vibe

Cons: They need to not stuff up vegan options!!

Shocking lack of awareness

Just a slight warning to any fellow vegans and also anyone with fish/dairy/egg allergies. My family and I ordered from Typhoon for many months as they have quite a few vegan options. On Friday, we went out for dinner there and ordered our usual, requesting vegan options. We then found out that two of our regular dishes could not be made vegan, even though it says VGO on the menu and I have written vegan in the order notes every time. The staff were very polite and sympathetic so I don’t want to denigrate the business but they also clearly had no idea/a lack of communication with the chefs. They’ve given us, what we thought, was a vegan mayonaisse with the eggplant chips for months and we found out the vegan option would be to have it without mayonaisse. We also order the papaya salad VGO weekly and found out it apparently cannot be made vegan as it always has shrimp paste. They said they could substitute it with a Bahn mi vegetarian and without the mayo, yet they both came out with the mayonaisse - this kind of sums up how back and forth the saga was and how they clearly didn’t have good communication and an understanding of their supposed ‘vegan options’. Again, the staff were genuinely apologetic but I have a feeling they won’t rectify the menu and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else!!!

Cons: Deception , Lack of awareness, Food

Hanoi dining in Highett

I loved my vegan dishes! The eggplant chips were so yum!! The vegan noodles were lovely and fresh. Trendy decor, reminded me of some restaurants I visited in Hanoi.

Pros: Vegan wine marked on menu, Food is yum, Trendy decor and music

Cons: Street parking is busy
