Einfach wow - Edit
Das Essen war sooo gut und so viel. Man kriegt drei Gerichte umsonst dazu und er zeigt einem indem er dich füttert wie man das Essen richtig ist. Sehr gutes Lokal Restaurant

Great vegan options - Edit
You order a dish per person but get many. They will give you many different sides and soup to try! The guy will even feed you haha. Very recommended

Delicious vegan food with great ethos - Edit
To pay 120 ish for a dish which we split between 2 and then be given so many side dishes is not only good value for money but also delicious and exciting! The dishes were all so tasty and different too, and the waiter kept topping us up with seconds too which was very kind. Highly recommend! We got the vegan sweet and sour ribs and they were 10/10!

Not fully vegan! - Edit
They are not fully vegan. We saw animal prawns being served next to us (we asked to confirm). For me that's a let down because I value ethically coherent businesses.
Read moreThe food was good but not outstanding, but the price is expensive for Vietnam. 120k for a vegan beef or vegan crab dish, which is expensive compared to very good quality vegan buffets we've been to, ranging from 45k to 90k per person.
80k for boiled morning glory (boiled greens), which is overwhelmingly expensive for a plain vegetable dish.
The experience is as described in other comments. Not a fan of the owner feeding you, and we were stopped to take a picture of the owner's history (which is a real achievement and only has good will) which felt a bit awkward.
For me it's not worth the hype. I think all the free dishes try to make up for the expensive prices of the menu and you end up really full but without choosing all the dishes. Food waste is also concerned since all tables leave at least some rice, or some side dishes.

Wonderful tasty and filling food in the old quarter - Edit
We went to Katze for our first meal in Vietnam and the food has certainly set a high bar!
Read moreWe ordered spring rolls, papaya salad, vegan chicken, fried aubergines and all were delicious. Amazingly we were also given a huge bowl of rice and a tofu tomato dish along with a really fresh and crunchy salad as a starter for free. And offered top ups along the course of the meal on these!
Then to end a complementary soup with seasonal greens was also provided!
We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal but it was truly delicious!
Love the unassuming style here - it’s all about the food and the people running the place are all so lovely.
Definitely give it a go!

Amazing - Edit
My first meal in Hanoi after an almost 20ish hours journey. It was great, super tasty (spring rolls and “beef”), the waiters just keeps giving free food (tofu, rice, soup, many vegetables dishes), great prices as well

Simply incredible, the buzz is real folks! - Edit
This was the one place we had to try after reading the reviews on Google and happy cow, but nothing prepared me for how incredible this place is! 3 of us are vegan chefs and I am very hard to please back home but Williams restaurant Katze, was some of the best food we have eaten. We ordered 2 portions of nem between 5 of us and a main each but food just kept coming it was so good great selection it was hard to choose! Great wine selection absolutely amazing service and exceptional value. William gives you his back story which was incredible he was a street kid who was given an opportunity and he took it, he has katze and works as a grab driver too for income and donates every year to orphaned kids it’s really incredible. I totally recommend if you are in Hanoi go and support this restaurant, and if you’re not in Hanoi get yourself over (we did) you will not be disappointed. It’s places like this that give us vegans the ability to travel and eat great quality food 💚

Very tasty vegan extravaganza - Edit
My partner and my experience here was excellent! We ordered 4 dishes and ended up receiving many more - all were delish. My favourite meal was the BBQ chicken, as well as the spring rolls. All up our meal cost 335k, which is a bit pricier than other options - however, given the volume of food, I felt it was quite reasonable. The owner also had quite a wholesome story, and delivered great service, showing us how each dish was eaten.

Amazing tiny find!! Highly recommend - Edit
Many dishes for free and they keep filling them
Read moreIncredibly cheap. We paid less than 100 per person. Its a very small place. I highly recommend it if you walk by and they have a seat available.
And they even had an article on the wall from the dutch newspaper I read daily!

lovely little restaurant - Edit
It's a local restaurant, which serves only vegan food. The owner is really nice and in the end you'll get a letter, in which he explain his story. The food is really good and you will get more, than you ordered.

delicious - Edit
i read reviews saying this place was really good, and you can believe them all. a bunch of free food comes out and the banana soup thing they brought me both times was probably my favorite dish.
Read moreit was all so good that it was easy for me to finish all the dishes they brought. each time i got papaya salad and two other dishes.
i do feel like the price is a bit inflated to cover the “free” food they bring out, as the portions of the dishes you order are a bit smaller. however, it is an amazing and filling meal for cheap, and the free stuff is all great. i think you can refill it too but i’m not sure.
they do serve meat or fish, but the kitchens are separate and they have separate menus. you might be seated by someone eating it.
the owner feeds you the first time to show you how to eat some of the dishes. like someone else mentioned, you just gotta embrace it! he seems like a good dude and he’s passionate in helping children and donating money from the restaurant.
i might go back a third time before i leave hanoi

A seperate vegan menu as well as meat - Edit
A tiny restaurant but that won’t stop them from filling your table. We ordered three mains but it comes with 3 free extra sides and rice. The free tomato and tofu side dish was a stand out. We were so full but content! A nice spot to watch people go by. Do yourself a favour and experience the true culture by asking to use the toilet. The owner has a beautiful story to share as well.

Great little place where they bring out a lot of complimentary food like rice, tofu, soup, and salad. It’s all delicious, but worth taking that into account when ordering or you will not be able to finish. The staff are really nice and eating here is such a cool experience.

Excellent - Edit
Not much to add to what everyone else is saying – you order a main dish and get tons of free accompanying dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. Not only that, but there's a good cause behind it all.

Pros: So much food!, Lovely owner , Try the pineapple juice!
Cons: The place is small and can feel a bit crowded

Fabuloso - Edit
Truly loved Katze, but I personally would prefer they price the food more normally and not bring out so much “free” food that you might not like or need. We order a beef with pepper and sweet and sour pork. Wow, it was incredible. The guys there are so nice, we chatted about where we come from and stuff. We ate some of the other dishes but wasted food which I felt bad about. Still, all that food and beers came to around 11€
