Tasty, varied and desserts too!

Buffet of many savory choices including fresh spring rolls, two soups, deep fried spring, lotus stems, tofu skin, casseroles, sautéed noodles, white and brown rice.
Several desserts too. Water and ice.
60,000 VND per person.
We arrived at 12 pm and there was plenty of choice, dishes were being restocked.
Beautiful view over Hoy Ta lake from ground and first floors.
Helpful friendly staff and smiling customers.
I hope to go back soon.

Pros: Variety., Taste. Desserts., Replenished dishes.

Cons: Fresh herbs for soups absent., No ginger sweet sauce for dessert.

Hmm, not the best

I want to be supportive of vegan businesses, but I found it hard to like much of what was served (I’ve been to many vegan buffets in Hanoi). Some items that were in the heating area were cold (such as soups, stir fries) and other bits excessively greasy. I came at 6PM on a weekday, maybe it was not ideal time for this place?

However, the price was 60.000 VDN, so it is very hard to ask more when I paid so little. Possibly, if they had a smaller choice but better quality items, it would probably be a bit better.

If you are able to spend more, there absolutely are better options around. If not, I’m sure you’ll find something there too.

Pros: Lake view

Great Vietnamese Buffet

Great vegan buffet at "Vegan Peace" : incredibly good, a lot of recipes with tofu and seitan, amazing rolls, served with tea and a final sweet. This place has definetly conquered my taste buds 🤣 (Buffet: 60000k = 2,40€ ca)

Pros: Traditional recipes , Great choice, Price

Cons: A little bit far from the center

Average

I’ve been a regular at PV for the last 5 years so certainly can’t say that it’s bad, but don’t come expecting to have your socks knocked off. The price was definitely more just when it used to be 40k, but 60k still isn’t bad for what you get. Good selection of dishes, but unfortunately they’re repeated every day, so don’t go a second time hoping for something new.

Try to go when they’ve just started serving, as their buffet doesn’t keep food hot.

*BE CAREFUL, LAST I CHECKED WHILE THE BUFFET IS VEGAN, NOT ALL DRINKS ARE*

Pros: Location, Price, Consistency

Cons: Deceptive non-vegan items, Repetitive , Cold

Delicious buffet food

Everything I chose from the buffet was delicious. I also particularly liked the plant based alternatives like the vegan fish and crispy beef. The seasoning was amazing. It was 60k dong for buffet. Great value!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Great for the price

Like every buffet, you will have some favourites and not so fav ones. So can choose what you like. Total value for money.

Incredibly bad

Unless you are a local Or a cheap looser expat DO NOT GO THERE - the food is soo bad I could not eat after the first taste - pay another 50000 dong and go Somewhere where you can actually eat the food.

Sorry it’s thats bad - not a bargain.

Great find

Delicious food and great value. Variety of raw & cooked items, plenty of tofu and mock meats but also other options if you want to avoid the fake stuff. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I will be back for sure!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fresh, Cheap

Cons: I just wish they were open all day!

Okay

Had lunch here included as part of a cycle tour around Hanoi with electric smiles (amazing tour, a must if you’re in Hanoi.) Food was okay, not fresh but I guess that’s what you get with a buffet. If you’re a fan of a buffet I’m Sure it would be amazing and certainly great value.

Pros: Cheap

Definitely Recommended!

This has to be one of the best deals in town! A vegan buffet for all you can eat for 40k!!
The setting is really nice by the lake - you can sit upstairs outside, the staff were friendly and they offer FRESH carrot juice!
The food was good - not the most refined but excellent at that price and they offer an alternative to white rice!!
Definitely recommended.

Pros: Super affordable, nice setting, vegan buffet

Good food!

Simple buffet, not too many dishes but enough. Food was tasty. Staff seems nice. They seem to use milk for coffee and other drinks from the menu. Ask if you order anything else than buffet.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty food

Cons: Dairy in coffee

Nothing to optimize

For 40k you can eat as much as you want. Red rice, hokkaido and the vegetables are the best.
Tofu is also offered in 3 different sauces.
Staff is very friendly. Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in Vietnam.

Pros: Price Variety Taste

Absolutely amazing vegan buffet!

The cost is 40 000VND for an all you can eat buffet. The selection was fantastic, with a variety of mock meats, fresh salads, french fries, stewed veggies and all sorts of goodies. When one dish was finished, they would bring out something else to replace it.
I didn't see any dessert options as part of the buffet.
The food was incredibly tasty and the price doesn't get much better either!
Definitely check it out.

Pros: Tons of delicious options.

Cons: None.

Lovely lunch spot

Peace vegan is a great place to grab a buffet lunch. It costs 30,000vnd (around $1.50) for all you can eat and has a good selection of food! The tofu tomato, and tofu lemongrass are amazing. They also have a tasty drink menu.
I love to go here almost every weekend!
FYI - I don't think the place is all vegan though. We asked what kind of milk they used in their coffee and they said cow's milk.
