An all-vegan restaurant offers a new menu every day. NOTE: Location and signage is difficult to find. You need to find the MAY CHA tea shop, and enter through this storefront. The red MAY CHA sign is easy to find from the street, and once inside you can see the sign for MANG'S MANIA at the stairs in the back. Mang's Mania is up the stairs on the first floor. Open Mon-Fri 11:00am-8:30pm, Sat 11:00am-9:00pm. Closed Sun.

Friendly, good price and selection - Edit
The first thing that hits you when you walk in is the amazing smell of warm hearty food. The staff are so friendly and speak pretty good English. They had an offer for spring rolls, main dish and a drink for 100k.
Read moreI had the tempeh and rice, spring roles and a lemongrass and ginger tea.

Beautiful, fresh food - Edit
Stunning little place down an alleyway in the heart of Disrict 1. The menu changes frequently but is all Vietnamese rice dishes and noodle soups. Even has 3 flavours of ice cream!

Really delicious Vietnamese vegan food - Edit
This place is a great find. You just need to follow the instructions in the main listing because it's on the second floor above May Cha.
Read moreWe had rice noodles with spring roll and veggies plus homemade tofu and mushrooms with soy sauce and Vietnamese brown rice (delicious). We also got a side order of fried spring rolls, which could be enough for a whole meal - we gave half to the people at the next table! Also delicious.
We could come back here again and again!

Quaint restful space with amazing food - Edit
What a fabulous place - a bit tricky to find but worth it! The menu changes daily - so it's written on a chalk board. The food is definitely made with love. Simple but delicious. My pineapple and carrot juice was amazing.

Amazing place - Edit
My friend found this place on Google before I could find it here on HappyCow. It’s super cute. The staff was really nice and help us pick options of the menu. The food was delicious. The vegan ice cream was really nice as well. Apparently, they change the menu every day, so you’re always in for a surprise. I would recommend coming here for some clean health good food.

Hard to find, absolutely worth the effort - Edit
This place is incredible! It’s tiny and cozy, with delicious food and very friendly staff!
Read moreIt’s a bit challenging to find - the entrance is behind the tea place, you walk to the back of it and then upstairs to the second floor.
They have combo options - 100k and you get a choice of a fresh roll main desert. I had the soup No.3 (you’ll see that in the menu) cooked on a tamarind broth (sour flavor that I loved), and for desert a scoop of chocolate ice cream.
Absolutely worth visiting!

Lovely - Edit
This place is so cute and so unassuming, I loved it. Impossible to accidentally stumble across it, barely any signage, certainly not anything that calls out vegan. But once I climbed upstairs behind the tea house and entered the restaurant, it has a young and modern feel, very homey and comforting. There’s a beautiful outdoor balcony overlooking the street, or an air conditioned indoor area to choose from. The menu was a little hard to read and understand, so I asked the lovely young woman in the front to recommend a combo meal for me. I got something like garlic fried tempeh and tofu combo that came with Brown rice and some steamed okra and another Green I didn’t recognize. Also got a fresh roll starter and incredible coconut ice cream. Didn’t look like a lot of food, but I’m stuffed. Prices are very reasonable and service is excellent. Highly highly recommended!

Taste good and normal price - Edit
Changes menu everyday, and also make sure you enter from the tea store to find it.
Read moreNoodle taste good, not very street food price but acceptable at this place.
They have the red chilly sauce which is really good, won’t come with the noodle, can ask for it if you like spicy taste.
Has outdoor area and indoor.

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
What a gorgeous find, through another shop and up some old concrete steps to the vegan wonderland. Such a cute little restaurant, with a balcony bar looking over Nguyen Hue walking street. We ordered summer rolls, and a couple of brown rice dishes - both came with tasty curly mushrooms (not sure what type). Only thing I'd say as a downside is that they were meant to be different dishes but looked identical.

🇵🇸 Good food, 🔻🗝️ lovely decor and 🇵🇸🌏🇵🇸🇻🇳 inexpensive! - Edit
🇵🇸⚖️ Very centrally located, the modest plates might seem small but are very satiating and healthy indeed. The place is located on the 1st floor (up). You'll need to pay attention to the address number to find the place on the main road. Currently the ground floor is occupied by a bubble tea place. Next to it is a corridor, at the end of which are a flight of stairs which will whisk you up to this cosy and 🕌 warm restaurant space. Relatively smallish menu, but still a 🇵🇸 great place to get a bite in D1 for relatively little! I can't recommend this enough!!
