Expensive but very good

This place is very expensive for Vietnam, but the quality of the food is also very good. If you are looking for restaurants in this area, you are probably staying in one of the resorts in Ong Lang – the prices at the restaurant of our resort were almost as high, but with much smaller portion sizes. I had the yellow curry, for 190k if I remember correctly. It was very tasty, one of the best dishes I had in Vietnam. They would have had several other vegan options, too. If you eat here, you also receive a free wet hand towel and free amuse-bouche, also good service.

Very Tasty!

Super cool that there is a separate vegan section on the menu. Everything very delicious, a bit more expensive than local food of course.

Delicious but expensive

There are clearly marked vegan options and the waitress spoke English and knew what vegan meant. We told her to add a vegan dessert to the menu because they don't currently have any. We had eggplant and curry and both were delicious and big enough portions to fill our hungry bellies!
The bill came to 348000 for those two dishes which is expensive.

Slow service, high price, poor food

Many vegetarian options on the menu but few were vegan/ actually available. Despite there only being 1 other table in the restaurant, the food took over 1 hour to arrive (including fresh rolls).
When the food did eventually get to us, it did not match the description on the menu.
Burger cheese slices were used within the veggie lasagne and one veggie lasagne came with just layers of pasta and no filling. We ended up paying 300k VND for this... incredibly disappointing.

Plastic straws were given to us when we asked not to have them.

Pros: Some staff spoke English

Cons: Slow service, poor quality food, lack of options , Plastic straws , Expensive

Papaya salad is very good, try it. There is a classy atmosphere here, but I could also eat there in normal clothes.

Beautifully presented food

The first time we visited we were turned away as they were so busy so it might be wise to book. We returned the next evening and had a lovely meal. The juice eS great and I had a tasty vegan coconut curry that was presented on a golden tray with a crusty baguette! It was really delicious and creamy.

Pros: Staff can advise on vegan options , Relaxed setting , Beautiful presentation.

Good food

The restaurant is super busy and we were lucky to get a table. The food was super tasty as well, we had two starters and the vegan combo. They told us that the food would be out in about an hour, bit we were in no rush and it also came before hand. We paid just under 1 million, but we also had too much food, so it's more of treat but not like a fine dining place. Afterwards you can go for a beer in the drunkn monkey bar next to it

Pros: Some food clearly marked vegan or veggie

Cons: More on the pricy side

Loved it, will go back.

I loved this place. They had a decent selection of vegan items on the menu. I tried the vegan Banh Xeo (called rice pancake on the menu). The staff was very friendly and helpful, prices were higher than at some other places but the flavors were lovely.

Pros: Enough vegan options, Charging station, Friendly staff

Cons: Lots of dead ants in the bathroom , Not a fan of the metal plates

Amazing food, great people.

This doesn’t look like the obvious choice but of you go through the menu you can find loads of amazing vegan (& vegetarian) options. I ate myself through all the vegan options and they were all incredible. A must try is the Vegan Curry though, which is spectacular.
The service is great as well.

Nice vegan selection

Nice selection of vegan dishes here. While not a super long list, it was hard to decide as all the options sounded delightful. We went with the slow cooked eggplant and the caramelized tofu. Both were super tasty.
We enjoyed that the meals both came with a salad on top of garlic fried rice. Staff spoke great English. Prices are a bit on the high side but we felt it was worth it, especially to get away from the vegan buffet style restaurants in town. It was nice to have some freshly prepared food made to order.

Fantastic find in Phu Quoc

It's a bit out of the way but you will be well rewarded for venturing out here. Laid back with a very helpful owner who will point out the vegan dishes on their separate vegetarian menu. Food is prepared fresh and serving size is big. My noodles with caramelised tofu and herbs was fantastic, and my omni husband loved his omni banh mi. Definitely recommend this place.

Could have been better with more spices!

Mai Jo have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options but the dishes me and my boyfriend had didn't taste that much. The prices are much higher than at the Vietnamese restaurants in the nearby. The staff are excellent English speakers and the restaurant is really cozy.

Pros: cozy restaurant, many vegetarian/vegan options

Cons: Quite tasteless food, High prices
