Nice for dinner

The pizza is nice and the tofu cream pasta was amazing. They are quite friendly and the atmosphere is good for working. If I wanted somewhere to sit in peace and have a coffee and do some work this would be the place.

Not great

Went there as it has nice reviews and ordered several dishes. Nice location and friendly stuff. However, the food was nothing special (everything tasted quite plain which is highly unusual for Vietnamese cuisine in general). Would not go there again.

people are getting to kind with reviews (where are the honest reviews at)

Came here twice. First time we ordered the pho and wasn’t too bad to be fair it was tasty but I have had better in other countries and was not expecting that this being my first pho in Vietnam and not being up to standards and meeting expectations. Second time my wife and I ordered the omelette, tofu sandwich and gnocchi.. this is where it goes down hill!!! Omelette was not a omelette, not one bit!! It wasn’t even scrambled tofu!! It was more like mush that was bland and almost inedible. The gnocchi as it came all I could smell was butter and oh my did it overpower the dish!! I did not taste anything else but the butter, again bland gnocchi drenched in butter and really not appealing!! Then we go to the tofu sandwich, firstly there bread is horrible not fresh and just not satisfying to eat and the tofu seems like the same gunk from the omelette dish just rolled into a ball and fried, to end it there fries are a bloody joke 😂 I literally laughed and thought Is this for real!! Everything that was put in front of us was horrible and had us very disappointed. The cafe itself lacks ambience and atmosphere (no music) no real communication with staff it is just deadset dull and boring just like the food, well most of it.

Pros: Smoothies

Cons: Expensive for what you get, Food bland and almost inedible

Okay.

Well the Menu has been slimmed down and a lot of the Meals on the Photos are no longer available. We had the Pho and a Beetroot Salad (which came without Dressing). Food was a little boring, Service was good.

Amazing!

We were here on 10.03 (currently not closed due to Covid-19) and it was soo good!!
We've tried the Pho, the lentil stew, the fresh the fried springrolls and the carrot cake.
Everything was so delicious and the staff was very friendly.
We will definetely come back!

Edit: we came back and were absoluetly disappointed. The food was cold and hat strange flavours.

*Upstairs*

A little hard to find as it's upstairs, but worth the struggle. We had all the 3x roll options, 2 detox juices and 2 pasta options as they were out of phò. All very tasty, fresh, healthy. They have salt, pepper & chilli on the table so you can season to your liking. 415k all up. We're happy.

Pros: Many options , Well priced

Average

Small portions, prices higher for Hanoi standards, the nori wraps were just slices veggies on top of a sea weed sheet.. Not wrapped and without any seasoning.. Very basic... The noodles with spring rolls were plain noodles with some peanuts and lettuce on top and 4 spring rolls on the side.. The dumplings pho was ok, but nothing special.. The water was literally water and lacked of greens. Very disappointed. I was expecting something different reading the reviews and for paying those prices

Pros: Nice balcony atmosphere

Cons: Small portions, High prices for Hanoi standards, Poor service

Don't waste your meal there

Ordered 2 options of stew, and got 2 plates of tasteless vegetables in murky liquid. We knew from a single glance that it's going to taste bad.. The fact that we got it cold after they even failed to properly worm it up in the microwave, was just a bonus.
And for that disgrace they charge 90 dong a dish.

Good food

Nice place to come and dine in with a full vegan menu. Had the dumpling pho first time which was lovely and the vegetable curry the second time which was disappointing. Masala Chai was great.

Horrible service

I tried this place twice and was disappointed both times. Your order is taken and then the staff leave the room. I had to go to the kitchen twice to ask for something.

I had the pho the first time which was nice but not enough food on its own which is disappointing for the price. The second time I tried the pancakes (also v small), they tasted like flour and I didn’t finish them. The spring rolls were powdery and the coffee was revolting (it pains me to say that).

I was so disappointed in the service and the food on the second time at the cafe that I thought it was fare to not pay for the coffee. The waiter yelled at me down the staircase as I left. I wish I was exaggerating about that.

Very sad end to my 1 month in Vietnam. The only negative eating out experience I’ve had.

So many other places to eat vegan in Hanoi. I’d avoid this place until they sort themselves out.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Service, Food quality

Cute place with nice menu

This was a cute dining place on the second floor. Really loved their version of Pho with dumplings! If I have time I will be back to try the other dishes!

Pros: Creative menu, Nice location w/ outdoor patio overlooking street

Never again

The cafe smells like cat(pee). Later on I figured that cats are walking there freely. Hygiene seems no priority.
Happy cow automatically grants 2 stars if the restaurant is fully veg or vegan, but for me it is a 1 star.

Pros: Great variety of vegan options

Cons: Smells like cat(pee)

Average

We were looking forward to try their Cheesecake and Pizzas, but looking at the menu we found out they don't serve either of these any longer. So we had two different smoothies instead and they didn't really taste like much. Menu looks a little crappy and the prices are quite high for what you get there. Waiters were friendly but not ready to take orders as they were waiting in the kitchen and only having a look at the guests few times. But it was a pleasantly quiet place which allowed us to do some computer work.

Okay

We had dinner here. The food was good, but not enough and nothing special. We paid around 90K for each dish. The Pho I had was very nice, my girlfriend had the springrolls with some sides, it was very oily and not enough vegetables. The stuff was very nice and we enjoyed the beautiful balcony.

The food was okay, but not that much, we had to order more and that in addition to the high range prices in comparison to other restaurants made it quit pricy. Nice location thow...

Hello! Thank you for writing a feedback for us! We checked with the waiter who communicated with you the other day. You gave him a note written in Vietnamese asking if we use MSG or the seasoning commonly used in Vietnam that has MSG, and he said yes. In fact, we use ONLY salt. We do use store bought Ketchup that can have MSG. We are really sorry for misunderstanding and the staff was not well informed, and gave you a wrong answer. We heartedly apologize for the incident!

Nice experience

I am a new vegan and this was my first time eating at a vegan restaurant. It was a nice experience. The restaurant is small, but it is clean and nice. The menu states the mission of the restaurant which was nice to read. The food was pretty good, but again, not sure how it compares to other vegan restaurants. I had the mushroom tofu burger and the spring rolls. I will come back again when I am in the area.

Pros: All food choices are vegan. , The food was tasty and prepared fairly quickly. , The restaurant looks clean.

Yummy but slow service

Lovely big tasty portion of vegan curry with brown rice. So many nice options on the menu, it was hard to choose! Remarkably slow service, I read many chapters of my book before the waitress came back.

Good vegan restaurant in Hanoi

This restaurant was good overall: they have an all vegan menu and the food was quite satisfying. The flavours and meal selection won’t blow you away, but it was still pretty good. We had the spicy potato curry, the roasted veggie salad and fried spring rolls, which were all good. They have a mix of traditional vietnamese and western foods.

Pros: Nice location, All vegan menu

Cons: Average service, A little expensive
