Fancy vegan place

There were a lot of vegan options and they were all really good. I also loved their desserts and drinks. This is probably my favorite branch of Hum because of the unbeatable decor. Nice place for a brunch date. #Veganuary

Wow - do not miss

We were blown away by the high quality of the food, the friendly staff, and the relaxed vibe of this place. The menu had a wide variety of dishes to choose from, all of which were made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff were all extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience (including telling us how to eat the meals properly). The only downside was that the prices were a bit on the expensive side, but considering the excellent food and service, it was definitely worth it. Don't miss if you're vegan in Saigon.

Amazing vegetarian food

This place was AMAZING!
1. Square spring rolls - Awesome
2. Papaya salad - Spicy. Really good
3. Burdock hot pot - Yummy
4. Saw leaf aroma cocktail - Really good
5. Salty apricot mojito - Good. Very fresh
6. Raspberry and sarsi cocktail - Decent
7. Panna cotta - Yummy! Not too sweet.

The staff explained how to eat the spring roll with accompanying noodles and veggies and helped prepare and serve the hot pot!

Pros: Great staff, Lovely ambience

Stunning place with incredible food

Not only is this restaurant super gorgeous with a huge semi-outside seating area and separate café/bar, but the food was amazing, too. Expensive compared to other local restaurants, but every dish was perfectly seasoned with kinda rare ingredients, even as a Viet I was amazed to find ingredients such as aloe vera, ginseng roots, dried and spicy pineapple that had the texture of beef jerky and aburaage. It's quite zero-waste as well, they use fabric napkins, banana and lotus leaves and paper straws, which is quite unique for Vietnam.

Worth visiting

I’m not greatly impressed with this place but it’s worth visiting. Beautiful interior. Quite a big menu. However I think it’s over pricy. Portions are quite small. And in the end they add extra charge fee to your bill.

Pros: Good for a date , Unusual dishes and serving

Cons: Expensive

Best place to eat in Vietnam

A must eat in Vietnam! Best place to eat in all of Vietnam. This is a vegetarian restaurant but many dishes can be made vegan.

Such great surrounding to enjoy the amazing food in.

Best meal I’ve had in one month in Asia.

You feel the calmness of the atmosphere the moment you step inside. In a city as busy as Ho Chi Minh, it’s as if you’ve found an oasis in the middle of the desert.

I ordered three items, none of which I had tried before - brown rice tea, winged bean salad, and fried spring rolls.

I heard this is a top ten vegetarian restaurant in the world, and now I understand why.

With several locations, a place to get delicious vegan food in the midst of nice atmosphere. A bit pricey to visit frequently; great for special occasions.

Quite dry food

Feel bad giving this place 2 stars as the staff were lovely and the design / feel of the place was great but the food was just really dry and strange flavour combos. It was also quite expensive - the most we’ve spent on a meal so far.

Had tempura veg to start which was nice (except the fried mint leaves). For main had:
1) pad Thai without eggs which was dry and tasteless and had an overkill on raw bean sprouts
2) brown rice in lotus leaf - again very dry but it was recommended I had a soup with it which I wish u had done for some liquid.
For drinks had a Heineken and an apricot wine (which was a bit like rice wine and probably an acquired taste).

Due to all the previous positive reviews I think we just probably chose the wrong dishes...

Pros: Lots of vegan options (more than those marked 🌱), Nice designed space , Friendly helpful staff

Cons: Expensive , Dry food, Fruit wine.... was interesting! 🤔

Love Hum

The food is always consistently delicious, the square cake is the best of an amazing menu, using all the parts put on the plate to construct the right blend of flavours is fun and the best thing about Vietnamese food. We always enjoy the various rolls. The mustard leaf one is spicy and unique.

The green curry is smooth and tasty and the homemade fried tofu are golden medallions of silky goodness.

The seating can be a little crammed it is best to reserve well in advance if bigger than a party of 2, the stairs sometimes make it a challenge for the staff to go up and down a lot.

Pros: Almost all vegan, Staff always ask if you can take egg or alliums , Delicious and inventive

Cons: Sometimes a little crammed at this location

Awesome

I have been to all 3 of the Hum restaurants and I have never been disappointed. The food is always beautifully presented, delicately balanced whilst being wholesome and flavoursome. However, they will serve a curry 10 mins before the rice and try and remove the cover. If you’re not quick then you’ll have a cold curry by the time the rice arrives.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great diversity soups, salads, rice, stir fry etc, Great detox drinks

Cons: Vegan in Vietnamese means no egg, garlic, Onion, A little pricey if you’re on a budget, Service is a bit fragmented

fancy dinner out

I would highly recommend this place if you want to have a fancy dinner out. The food is delicious and definitely special.
However, it is pricey and if you are on a budget I wouldn’t recommend. A main dish would be between 150.000 to 200.000.

Pros: lots of vegan options

Cons: expensive

Pretty good & can cater to gluten free

This place was quite yummy with a delightful variety of vegan eats. Is it the best vegan food I’ve had in Vietnam? No, but it still was good. The staff had good grasp on English so could be sure about what I could and could not order regarding gluten free (I’m Celiac).

On the food - in my experience the smaller hole in the wall places are tastier. Got the braised tofu and papaya salad. Both yum but not mind blowing flavour. Nice to dine in a fancy atmosphere but in my 3 weeks in Vietnam so far I’ve had much better food at cheaper places. Wouldn’t say it’s essential.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Fine dining experience, Nice presentation

Cons: Expensive , Not as flavourful as you’d expect

Lovely Restaurant

Menu was clearly marked. Decided to get food because my friend was stressed and could not have made a better choice. Extremely tranquil setting. Staff were attentive and friendly. Have had better food at lower prices in Vietnam but it was a lovely bit of time out in a peaceful environment and with peace of mind about the menu.

Wonderful peaceful haven

Hum is a lovely, calm vegetarian haven in the busy Ho Chi Minh City. The service is excellent, staff are very friendly and welcoming and food is fantastic!

The separate drinks and food menus are extensive, with lots of yummy sounding options.

Pricing is slightly higher than what I’m used to paying in Vietnam but a three course meal with drink was under £15.

I had initially turned up for lunch without a booking and there was no availability so I’d booked for the evening. I’d recommend booking ahead to make sure you can get a table :-)

Pros: Friendly staff, Extensive menu

Cons: Slightly pricey in comparison to Vietnam averages

Best meal in Vietnam!

Hum is outstanding! The price is the most I paid in Vietnam but it’s worth it because the food has more flavor than any other restaurant I visited in my 5 weeks here. Also, the service is also by far the best I have had in Vietnam. True western style service. Everything is prepared vegan unless it has a leaf next to the item, but those can be prepared vegan as well. I highly recommend Hum to anyone visiting Saigon! Make a reservation! This place fills up.

Pros: Mouth exploding flavor , Great service

Keep it local and simple

Very good food, served smashingly decorated. Beatiful restaurant with outside and inside seating. A few remarks though. In the description of every dish the nutritional values and benefits of the ingredients are mentioned, this is overdoing it. Furthermore the staff has an overwestern approach to hospitality: we were asked at least 7 times if everything was OK and where we were from and if we liked Vietnam. Last, but in a place that advertises itself as eco conscious, not last, serving Frech Evian water as your housewater in plastic bottles is weird. Our advice: keep it local and avoid plastic.

Explosion on your taste buds

The dishes are very tasty, the chef uses all kinds of spices. Very courteos staff. Most dishes are either vegan or can be ordered in a vegan version. The prices are a little bit higher than in other restaurants, but the food is totally worth it.

Wow!

Although the service was a bit lackluster (perhaps because i was dining alone) the food made up for it. It was amazingly good. I had the lotus chips, banana leaf salad, and the mushroom curry in the coconut. Everything was incredibly good.

Pros: Creative menu, Inviting space

Cons: Soso service
