Our Go-To Local Spot!

This place was amazing! Wether it was the buffet that had tons of protein options or the menu items. Even my non-vegan boyfriend was blown away by it and we returned here several times. It’s super cheap and authentic. 12/10 chefskiss!

Good cheap food! Recommend

Near / in the Night Market! So location is great. Food is straightforward. Different soups with fake meats or buffet - rice and different meats and vegetables.

Food was good. We had the buffet and had some seitan based meats and vegetable rice. No clue what we were eating but it was vegan and tasty so thumbs up!

They charge the buffet by some wierd concept based on the owner saying the price. Mine was 80k and the person I was with was 70k. I had more food. He had less but more meat I think. He was taller than me so maybe they charge based on height. No measuring by weight. So be prepared for a surprise price!

The soups are standard prices.

Pros: Food, Location : night market

Cons: No idea how much buffet will cost!

Super tasty food for an unbeatable price.

I was there surrounded by locals. They serve a variety of delicious soups like Pho, spicy „beef“ noodles etc. and it was so delicious and cheap. I took lunch dinner (same time 😇), had a water and paid 70k dong.
They also offer snacks like crispy fried tofu slices (like crisps) for takeaway. I would eat here every day. I was amazed 😍

Pros: Soups!, Takeaway snacks., prices.

We ate the Pho soup, which was very good after adding some soya sauce and spices. It's all vegan and very cheap.

Local eats

We went three times and it was always good. They give you a plate of rice and then you can choose from the buffet items. The amount of rice you get seems to be dependent of your hight or body type, as my boyfriend always got double the amount of what I got.
We did pay the same price every time we went, 45K a plate.

Would definitely recommend going before 12 pm as the food will still be warm. Menu items don’t get replaced during the day and the selection at night is rather small in comparison.

Tasty food for a good price

Finally a Vietnamese restaurant where you can choose what to eat! And that fills your stomach. There was a large selection of vegetables, tofu and fake-meat that we could add to our rice dish. Even spring rolls. You can put as much on your plate as you want, then the owners make a price.

Pros: Choose your own food, Choose your own portion, Local style

Cons: Staff was bit uninterested, Spring rolls were not fresh

Seems very local

„You eat less, you pay less, you eat more, you pay more“. That‘s what say told us, how it works.
I thought it was great, my husband was not that excited. So tastes are different. 🙂 I think, I tried all „meat“-variations, greasy, but most of them good. Pure tofu not that much…
You can also choose one dish instead of the buffet.

Lots of vegan options , very local

I had toggle, eggplant, mixed veggies and vegan protein meet and rice for 40k dongs. It was delicious . But the food is there all day, like a Warung in Indonesia, so it’s not hot. But for me is okay.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Veryvtasty, Good price

Good and large selection

I’ve been here everyday nearly for 5 days and it’s been really good.
There is a large selection and all very cheap. The most I paid was 60k. Some of the food was a bit too salty that I couldn’t eat it but couldn’t fault it apart from that.
Not the best customer service but I don’t speak Vietnamese so don’t expect a conversation if you don’t either! Lots of locals eat here so you know it must be authentic.

Pros: Very cheap, All vegan

Not an enjoyable experience

Me and my partner normally enjoy mock meats but this was a step too far for us. We got a plate of food from the buffet, which I think must have been sitting there for a very long time. Everything was stone cold and was either super sweet or very salty, or both! There was an overpowering taste of fish on everything which was very off putting too. The tofu was all cut into giant blocks and pretty unflavored, the rice was cold and very dry and the only available greens tasted pretty old. We were charged 140k for the honour (this included 2 small bottles of water)

I understand that there is a language barrier but we were met with an extremely frosty welcome which was a bit unnerving when we didn’t know how the place operated and were given no guidance.

Pros: I guess it’s cheap sometimes, The fake crackling was interesting

Cons: Not very fresh, Not welcoming environment

Garküche mit gutem Angebot

Garküche mit sehr guten Suppen und Buffet. Da keiner Englisch spricht, empfiehlt es sich die Karte (siehe Photos) vorher anzuschauen und im Internet zu googlen, was dahinter steckt.

Streetfood with good soups and buffet (not all you can eat!) Since no-one is able to speak out understand English, please take a look in the menu (see pictures) upfront and Google what's behind it.

Pros: Buffet, Suppen

Cons: Buffet wird nicht geheizt, Ist nicht so sauber wie ein Restaurant

our daily for two weeks!

We went every single morning and had almost every dish on the menu. It’s cheap and very yummy! Few times it got very busy with locals and you have to squeeze in.
I‘d not have the free iced tea (on the middle table) as some customers don’t care about hygiene…
The price of your rice plate will differ depending on how much you put on it. It’ll be judged by the lady, if you don’t trust her, just order noodle soup as there’s a menu with prices on the wall. The noodle soups (25-30k) are amazing! For rice with some sides you probably pay 50-60k but as stated above, it depends what/how much you stack on your plate. The buffet has significantly less choice after lunch time.
I don’t think that she rips tourists off as mentioned in other reviews. She seems harsh and is loud but is actually hilarious. I’ll miss this place. #Veganuary

Pros: all vegan, low prices, local experience

Very nice vegan restaurant

We went there in the morning around 9 or 10 am.
I just wanted to have a noodle soup. But when I entered the place, there were so many nice looking food. And she gave me plate on rice. And I could take whatever i wanted. She also gave me a small bowl of soup. It was very nice. Noodle soup was also nice. I want to try more noodle menu next time.

I read other reviews on happycow and google. Some ppl complain about overcharging and stuff. We had one pho, one plate rice with sides, two rice with sides take out and they charged us 150k. Thought it was fair enough.

They had many tofu and veggies even salad. I think it’s always nice to go there early when the food are still nice and fresh.

My favorite on Phu Quoc

Small buffet restaurant.
Basic setup, you get a plate with rice and can pick from buffet.
Price gets eyeballed and is super cheap (around 50k) for an entire plate with soup.

Food was always great, go there early to have more choices as dishes won't be filled up.

As well offers some a la carte items.

Many locals eat here - always a good sign 👍

Pros: Great food , Super cheap , 100% vegan with many locals eating there

Cons: No explanation on dishes due to language barrier

Lots of options

Their buffet is huge an you pay by plate. I had a bug plate of food and one spring roll. I just went for tofu and veggies and avoided the mock meat things. The egg was a surprise with carrot filling and tofu wrap. The roll was ok. They put a kind of herb that smells fishy so I didn't like it. I paid 50k in total. A bit higher than other places but don't know if I was overcharged or not.

Cheap, but nothing special

At this restaurant there is a very local atmosphere. Sometimes it's very loud and busy. So if you're are looking for a chilled place to chat with friends while eating, I can't recommend this place.

There's no menu. You just ask for a plate of rice when you enter the restaurant and then you can pick some mok meat and salad from the buffet. As you already can the on the pictures, there variation is not really wide. The taste is nothing special. I got a small cup of soup beside my plate of rice.

I paid 40k (no drink). It seems that sometimes the charge you more depending on time, your look or whatever.

After all, the food wasn't the best, but it was cheap and okay. At least I didn't get any stomach problems, so I can recommend it against a small hunger. But don't expect to much.

Don't go there, total rip off

We went there and had a noudle soup and a plate of rice with a few different things and they charged us 100'000. I am happy to pay more than locals, however it is a very basic local place and it cost more than some fancy beach restaurants. And the food wasn't even great, pretty greasy and unhealthy fake meats.

Pros: Can't recommend that place at all.

Cons: Rip off for tourists, Greasy fake meat options, Noodle soup was very sweet

Great idea

Very small but always busy with locals (which is a great sign). Set price for buffet with either rice or noodles. Personally didn't like some of the mock meat but other people loved it. Nice to have variety.

Good Variety of Mock Meats

The food was filling and cheap. For 40k we each left unable to eat another bite, and were given soup alongside our plates of food. There was a wide variety of mock meats to choose from; fake chicken, fake beef, fake bacon, something wrapped in nori which tasted fishy (and more!). The food was cold but that's what we've come to expect when visiting buffets. Everything seemed clean. For me, the food was a little bit too greasy and heavy, but my boyfriend loved it so I think that's just down to taste.

Pros: Good value, Wide variety, Very filling

Cons: Cold, Greasy

Tons of mock meat!

Buffet style restaurant with a ton of mock meat options. The options change each time and you are charged by the amount of food you get. Been there twice and each time was a different price. Would recommend for mock meat lovers and those looking for a filling meal. Flavor is ok, not the best, but at this price it’s hard to complain.

Pros: Lots of mock meats, Large selection
