Underrated! - Edit
Out of the way for many people but worth the visit. You know the place is unique when they don't use white rice. Definitely different from the same same standard fare that so many other restaurants have. Nice service too. Old school restaurant decor. I was standing right in front of the restaurant and didn't see it right away because there is no words "chay" anywhere (even on the menu). Location is correct and it seems everything is vegan.
Read morePros: Nice food, Whole grain rices, Good prices
Cons: Not a big selection of food always available

Good vegan food - Edit
Everything is good, acceptable. However, need to decorate the space to keep up with the positive public service

Would recommend if in the area - Edit
First looks like a shop then there are tables at the back. Staff is helpful, menu is priced and in English. I had the steamed rice combo. The rice comes in a fairly sizable portion though the side dishes are much smaller but you get a taste of a few different dishes. Prices are reasonable, from 40'000 to 60'000 from what I remember.

light and healthy meal - Edit
I ordered them to deliver it to my work. I had a “red rice and red beans combo”. It means I have red rice cooked with red beans, some veggies on the side and 1 soup. It turned out I had the red rice but I see no red beans with it. Foods taste really light, not so much oil and salt or sugar. No mock meats, which I don’t like about many other places. I’ll ask about not having red beans in my rice if I order again or go to the restaurant.
Read morePros: delivery (extra fees), healthy

Yummy red rice everything! - Edit
A nice place that has a restaurant and a small shop attached. The speciality here is red rice so the spring rolls have red rice paper wrappers and red/brown rice noodles inside, and the noodle soups all have red rice noodles rather than white. Yummy food though limited options at lunch; the menu was v. extensive but only 2 or 3 things on each page were on offer (although each page had 8-10 things listed). Nice food and peaceful ambience. Shop sells rice cakes and puffed rice etc., which are cheap and YUM.
Read morePros: Nice ambience, Love the red rice, Cool that you can buy goods to take away, too
Cons: Lots of things unavailable

Healthy and happy - Edit
One of cheapest places in town serving whole grain brown rice. The menu states that rice and vegetables are grown pesticide free.
Read moreThe portion sizes are small, but the low priced menu allows you to order a few dishes. Everything is under 40k.
Has the same menu as its other location, but some dishes are prepared a bit differently.
It's a great healthy option. Simple, but tastes good.
Most of their ingredients items are also for sale on the shelves that line the restaurant. Rice, noodles, sauces, sesame seeds etc.
Pros: Simple, Good value
Cons: .

Good variety to choose from - Edit
I only went here for a snack, but was impressed by the range - lots of different dishes, almost all of them for 30,000 or less and all vegan. I ordered two tiny, rice-based banana cakes and a tea - only 16,000!

Delivers on its promise - Edit
Uncomplicated, healthy macrobiotic food. Quality seems good and all well prepared.
Read moreWe had sushi, Pho, Breadfruit (especially tasty) and sautéed vegetables.
Good value - all dishes are $1.00-$1.50 each.
Menu now also in English (some older reviews imply it didn't used to be).
Pretty easy to find - right at the intersection and a big sign facing the road. $2 in a taxi from our hotel.
Staff helpful, although limited English when we went - point and smile worked just fine.

Had a better experience at Khai Minh 1 - Edit
Maybe it's because I was really hungry by the time I arrived at Khai Minh 2, but my experience on the whole was quite underwhelming. It took a while for anyone to notice I was there and they were all out of My Quang and the other noodle dishes, which was quite disappointing. So the waitress suggested I get one of the rice dish sets....I was highly disappointed - the portion sizes were so small and rather bland (see pic uploaded). It's probably because I am not used to the principles of the Oshawa (I think that's what it was called?) diet these lunch sets follow, but nevertheless I wasn't too impressed. I really love Khai Minh 1 in Binh Tanh district and had much more favourable experiences there, so probably won't be going back to Khai Minh 2.
Read morePros: Macrobiotic, Sells products too, Inexpensive
Cons: Most menu items weren't available , Rice lunch sets - small portions

Unique spot outside of the center - Edit
A bit of a trek to get to, but the map is accurate and it's possible to walk from the center (around 30 minutes). They pride themselves on healthy, organic, macrobiotic selections. Menu is in Viet but the owner is patient and very happy to see foreigners. Try their pho; very different from the norm, with caramelized onions, and dark, whole noodles. They also sell tasty whole-grain rice snacks and other macro supplies.
Read moreOpens at 6 a.m. every day, the neighborhood is great to wander through in the early morning before it gets too hectic. When I was there, they were playing selections from Khanh Ly's Sonca albums, which made the pleasant atmosphere even nicer.
Pros: Macrobiotic, Friendly, Cheap
Cons: No English on menu, Far from center, A bit bland by design

Macrobiotic food - Edit
Same menu with Khai Minh 1. They're brothers.
Read moreThe restaurant is in the corner of Ngo Quyen-Dao Duy Tu street, dist.10. They can deliver to you, but you have to pay the xe om's charge.
Pros: cheap, delicious, healthy, delivery
Cons: time-consuming because the food will, be prepared when you order.
