What a lovely local resturant

A local all vegan place runs by the lovely Hoa. Its a bit hard to find. Not located on the main street, hidden next to small parking lot. You must came and meet Hoa the owner, she is so friendly.

Pros: great food and great value for money

Cons: none

Quiet vegan place run by one lady

There's two entries for this place in Happy Cow.

I loved this place. I went two times during my stay. It was always quiet but still close to everything. Pretty cheap for Sa Pa.

amazing!

What a lovely place! I have already been here twice and will be here again before I leave! Hands down the best spring rolls and fried rice I had, ever! And the sauce for the spring rolls is out of this world!

amazing hot pot here

We had the hot pot and it was absolutely delicious 😋!!! The owner is very warm and welcoming. The hot pot was easily enough for 3 people...5 star recommendation!

Yummy

we spent just 2 days in Sa Pa and every day went here for meal. Amazing, simple place, cheap, huge portions, delish!
Very friendly owner. We ate buffet plate (and it is huge and various) and hot pot. Hot pot is enough for at least 4 people (u can ask for rice instead of noodle)
Highly recommended!

Pros: Taste, price, staff

Friendly and good food

Firstly, how to find it: it *is* where it says on the map but it's behind the main street, at the back of the main row of shops. To find it you have to go down a little side street or down some stairs. It's opposite the covered motorcycle parking. I hope this helps the next person so you don't go wandering around for ages with a suitcase like I did!

Now I'm afraid that there was one big flaw, and that's that we saw mice several times running along the walls. It did take an effort to ignore them and we decided against the buffet just in case there was any contamination. But the food was good - fake pork slices, bamboo shoots with vermicelli noodles, and mixed fried rice with another sort of fake meat in it (slightly disconcertingly convincing). It's a very simple place and the women spoke very little English, but had clearly had the vegan discussion before. In fact communication went much smoother than in some places I've been just because they were friendly and eager to please.

good food, but wrong directions

The directions are very off, and it took us a while to find the place.
Buffet style Vietnamese food. You can help yourself so it's great for picking and quantities.
But, there is cheese on the menu, and they were cooking meat while we walked in (possibly for large group that seemed to have reservation) even if there is no meat on the menu.
Overall the food was great but the label "vegan" is questionnable

Pros: lots of vegan optionstastes goodself serve buffe

Cons: the meat cookingcompletly wrong directions

Traditional vegetarian food

Had a delicious dinner here! It's a buddhist food place, completely vegan and extremely tasty. Lots of mock meats, which can be nice to have sometimes. There's a big sign post to it, so it's pretty easy to find. The owners were also very friendly, although their English was poor. It's not a touristy place, which makes a nice change with all the other restaurants in Sapa being very geared towards tourists

Pros: Vegan, Delicious food, Traditional place to eat

Cons: Mainly mock meat, which can be a con

Vegan enough for Sapa

Owner doesn’t speak English, but she does understand the concept of vegetarianism. If you are vegan be sure to make sure you don’t eat fried cheese. Other than this it was a nice little place with a kindly owner. Would go back.

Pros: One of the few options in Sapa, Nice owner

Cons: Not fully vegan

Great Lunch buffet...

Had the buffet option for lunch today it was absolutely delicious however I was in the restaurant yesterday afternoon & last night and had seen the same trays that have been prepared at lunchtime been sitting out unrefrigerated all day so my advice would be to only order fresh off the menu at night time and avoid the buffet option.

Pros: Dirt Cheap & tasty

Cons: The premade items for the buffet trays sit out all

Best Vietnamese food we’ve had so far!

I’d give 5 stars, if I could! As far as we know it’s a fully vegetarian restaurant. It says so on the sign and the owner herself is vegetarian as well (or so she said). Even though it’s partially inside, it totally has that street food flair. She offered different vegetables, mock meats (wheat based) and rice. Simple but really well seasoned - the best food we’ve had so far on our trip! :)

its okay :)

Easy to find, just follow the signs. Prices are low (20.000 - 50.000 vnd), staff friendly.
Cannot say much about the food because i have only been there once.
They serve vegeterian pork.

Cons: there is one meal with fish
