Gut - Edit
Das Restaurant hat sicher auch bessere Gerichte, als wir hatten. Nach meiner Erfahrung sind nicht mehr als 3 Sterne zu vergeben. Wir hatten Fried Noodles (war leider wirklich nicht gut) und die vegan ribs, die waren sehr gut, nur leider war die Portion sehr klein.

Cons: Geschmack (bei einem Gericht!), Portionsgröße

Delicious and nutritious - Edit
The staff here were incredibly knowledgable about the food, ingredients and health benefits. Beautiful setting and chatty staff who helped us choose the most authentic meal. I had the sour mushroom soup and mushroom spring rolls (very filling). 10/10 recommend if you are keen on tasting new flavours. My only regret is not learning the waitresses name as she was so inquisitive about where we were from and shared her own experiences.

Absolutely divine - Edit
Specifically sought out vegan places in Ho Chi Minh and this place was absolutely divine. Lovely aesthetic, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The menu is extensive and very affordable, the food came out very fast.
Read moreThe food was the best I've had in Ho Chi Minh and I've been here twice.
We got the battered shitake mushrooms as an appetiser, they were cooked perfectly, the batter lovely and crunchy, the sauce complimented it well. We also got the vegan ribs which were melt in your mouth delicious, the best vegan meat I've ever had. I got the miso mushroom udon noodle soup, everything tasted fresh and cooked just right. For dessert we got the banana ice cream, which was not creamy like you would expect, but more like a layered chunky slice. The coconut felt a little too frozen, but once it melted a bit it was great, a wonderful way to end the meal.
Pros: Large menu, Lovely and relaxing aesthetic, Staff
Cons: It's not in my country :(

The facility not worth it for a central district .... - Edit
We found this place on TripAdvisor and were excited to try it out as vegetarians. The food was great, and the service was good until we went to use the bathroom. The men's bathroom was upstairs, and the women's was downstairs, but it was far from a pleasant experience. The stinky smell hit us as soon as we entered, and the urinal bowl and sink were disgustingly dirty. To top it off, the toilet paper holder was missing its lid. The restaurant's high prices and central location in Sai Gon made this experience even more unacceptable. We had to leave and go back to our hotel to use the bathroom.
Read moreWe wish we just keep ourselves downstairs ...
Lasted visit 20/2/2024.

Nice place but NOT FULLY VEGAN!! - Edit
Great food, sweets and space but sadly it's not fully vegan!!! They use COW milk for coffees... and named themself Plant-based restaurant... seriously?! Better double check what you're getting as hard to say where the dairy would be added as well. Such a disappointment. Would love to Give 5* but for such a blunder...

Dear Ms./Mr. Adrianna Brylka,
Read moreThank you for choosing La Moi, our plant-based restaurant, for your dining experience. We appreciate you taking the time to visit our restaurant and leaving us your feedback.
We want to clarify that "cà phê sữa," a traditional drink, cannot be altered as it contains condensed milk. We do have a local version that is not vegan and some local-customers prefer it with condensed milk. However, we do offer an organic soy milk substitute for those who cannot consume cow-dairy.
For smoothies, we do not use condensed milk in any of our recipes.
We apologize for any misconceptions and hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you better. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
Best wishes from the La Moi Team.

Nice fully vegan restaurant & good service - Edit
It was a busy lunchtime full of Vietnamese people which I would take as a good sign. Not huge portions but nicely presented.
Read moreI had a chicken salad it had too much onion in for my taste but I think that's just a personal taste preference the crackers were a nice touch but a little bland. I would go back if I have time and try other dishes maybe.
I had the Pineapple and celery juice from a reccomendation in a review on here it was refreshing as they said. I eouldnt normally order celery juice so it was nice to get out of my comfort zone
Pros: Good service, Busy at lunchtime so it's popular, Nice juice
Cons: Not super fancy bit not low budget either

Two different experiences - Edit
We visited this restraint a second time as we enjoyed the food and service so much the first time.
Read moreFirst visit was in 29 December and we found the restaurant via this app. It did not disappoint. I would have given more than 5 stars as a review for that visit if I could. The menu was extensive and when it arrived the food was exceptional. What really made the visit though was the staff. Everything was organised and we were helped with menu selection, provided with warm cloths on arrival and just had the most pleasant service.
We returned in 1 January and our experience was quite different. The food was still good but the service was very poor. The staff were just not bothered they were more interested in chatting very loudly amongst themselves and sitting on their phones. We struggled to receive our drinks order and our starters arrived almost immediately after ordering. This wasn’t a huge surprise as we had ordered ‘cold’ starters that could have been prepared in advance. What was surprising was that our main course of pad Thai arrived almost immediately after our starters which led us to believe it may have been reheated. It certainly wasn’t to the standard of the previous visit.
No one asked if everything was ok with our meal, we had to chase for extra drinks and had to ask twice for the bill then eventually go up to the till to interrupt the staff chatting in order to pay.
The most shocking incident was after using the bathroom, I went to wash my hands to find a member of staff washing something in the sink. She apologised but made no attempt to vacate the sink. I went to ask another member of staff if I could use the upstairs sink but was told no as they had switched the lights off! I had to stand firm and insist I needed to wash my hands after using the toilet. After some exchange between the staff members I was eventually permitted to use the sink downstairs.
Our second visit was a real let down and I wish we had not returned. #Veganuary
Pros: Food , Service (first visit only)
Cons: Inconsistency in service

Dear Ms./Mr. Iolabella,
Read moreThank you for choosing La Moi, the plant-based restaurant, as your dining destination and for sharing your feedback with us.
We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience at our restaurant during your first visit. Your compliments on our service and ambiance are greatly appreciated.
Regarding your second visit, we have thoroughly investigated the matter you brought to our attention and verified that it was indeed true. The La Moi Managerial team sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused and has taken disciplinary action against the staff and the on-site senior manager involved.
Regarding the food, we have spoken with the kitchen team and would like to address two points:
- The Rainbow rolls are prepared in advance and stored in the fridge, but only for daily use.
- The Pad-Thai is freshly made for every order and typically served in under 10 minutes, as it is one of our signature dishes. However, it may take longer if the restaurant is busy.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and consider it an opportunity to improve our service and offerings. Thank you again for choosing La Moi, and we hope to see you and give us a chance to serve you again.
Best regards,
The La Moi Team.
