Tasty but expensive - Edit
I got the vegan moussaka, which was a tiny bit bland but still tasty. The side salad was very good, with excellent dressing. The restaurant space is pleasant and the location is easy to find. I was tempted by the pizza but the menu warned that there’s a 40 minute wait time.
Read morePros: Interesting food choices available, Quick service, Good English
Cons: Expensive, Vegan items not clearly distinguished from vegeta, A little bland

3 businesses in one. - Edit
The first, and most interesting thing about this place is that's it's divided into 3 sections. All are vegetarian, the bottom is their cafe, the second floor is Asian, the their floor is western.
Read moreWe choose Asian. The menu is large and has very nice images of the food. Some items even list wait times. Price wise is about 30-40% more expensive than other nice veggie places I've been. Pretty much everything is between 100-300k, with most tending towards 150k.
Flavorwise, all the food was spot on. The portions were big. The service was also good. That said I'll have to come back to the western side. Maybe it's different.
This place is def worth the visit.

Very expensive, few vegan options, doesn’t taste that special - Edit
This is like a fine dining place with each portion costing around 180k. The vast majority of the food is vegetarian, with only about 5 vegan dishes. The food is okay but not worth the money.
Read morePros: Some vegan options
Cons: Expensive, Few vegan options , Pretentious

Very Nice Veggie Friendly D3 Restaurant - Edit
Take the stairs on the right to get to the restaurant. Seating inside or outdoor plus an additional party room with low tables and cushions. I had a veggie burger on a black seeded bun that was fantastic. It had caramelized onions which is one of my favs. Had a nice smoothie with the meal. Fries were ok, not spectacular. Other sides were good. Will definitely be back to cover more of the menu. I spent around 300,000 dong or $12.
Read morePros: Great menu , Take home veggie products like salad dressing
Cons: A bit tricky to find - use staircase to go up

Nicht günstig für vietnam, aber extrem lecker! - Edit
Wir waren mehrfach zum Essen im Prem Bistro. Es gibt eine große Auswahl an veganen und vegetarischen Gerichten. Vietnamesische und internationale Küche. Das Essen ist sehr lecker, wir können vor allem die fried spring rolls empfehlen. Es war unser Lieblingsrestaurant in ho-chi-minh City!

Tasty but pricey - Edit
Nice atmosphere in the first floor. The menu has a various collection of nice dishes. I ordered fresh spring rolls and the buddha bowl and a drink. It was awesome. But I payed around 350k, which seems quite pricey to me. So I would categorize the restaurant rather with $$$/$$$...

Zen atmosphere and delicious food! - Edit
Love this restaurant. I had the lentil tacos, momos , and lavender soda and all 3 were fabulous. Also a very zen atmosphere where you can choose if you want to sit outside or in a very cute inside space.

Asian & western vegetarian and vegan food- hit& miss - Edit
I love the location & decor , especially the outdoor space . Very interesting menu and many of the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan .
Read moreHowever they are hit& miss . Been there several times and some dishes are great , some aren’t. Service isn’t consistent neither . Sometimes it’s all smooth , sometimes you need to ask for attention.
Quite pricey too comparing to what you can get in Saigon.
Pros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: Pricey , Food & service hit and miss

Expensive and nothing special - Edit
We might not have taken the best dishes on the menu but were really disappointed. Portions are really small. The tempeh on kale is really simple and the sauce is too salty. The babaganoush is good but the portion really small with just a tiny slice of homemade pita. Prices are really high for what you get. We went to eat a Banh Mi when going out because we were still hungry!
Read morePros: Many vegan options

Great spot for plate sharing! - Edit
Prem (along with Pi Bistro) are great places for sharing a bunch of plates among a group of people.
Read moreThe sandwiches are nothing special.
The chili garlic tofu is always spot on.
We got the potato and kale enchilada's and it was amazing. Was skeptical about baked "mashed" potatoes but it really was just thin scallop sliced of potatoes and a whole lot of kale, spinach, bell peppers and onions all in a house-made tortilla (topped with sour cream and parmesan).
Pros: Great food
Cons: Food took a long time

Cute café but boring burgers - Edit
Me and my boyfriend both got burgers. Both of us thought they tasted very bland and the “side salad” that came with it was a joke.. it was just 2 lettuce leaves with balsamic dressing.. also they didn’t have any fries to order as a side unfortunately. For the price of the burger I would have expected it to not taste like a block of half raw tempeh and come with a decent side salad or fries. The place was very cute though, the food came quick and the staff was nice. Maybe we’re just really lucky with vegan junk food bar and meatless district burgers in Amsterdam..
Read morePros: a lot of Vegan options, Cute decor
Cons: Expensive, Not very tasty burgers, Side salad is a joke

Service is not what it used to be... - Edit
I have lived in Saigon for a year and this place was one of my favourites. The food is good, and the place is nice and inspiring with pictures and memories from the owner's travels.
Read moreHowever, my 2 last visits were very disappointing. It seems they changed staff and it was terrible to say it nicely. We had to wait 45 min to get the food, and we were the only customers in the restaurant!!! The nonchalant waitress gave us the reason that they had a lot of online orders so that is their priority. We had to ask again for our order after 30 minutes so they started to work on it. Not to mention that they came with the wrong dish after that.
It seems that they don't have the same service as before for people who actually come to their restaurant... My friends also went there after that and told me about the same type of issue so I decided not to go back there for now....

Best Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant in Town! - Edit
Prem is truely the most unique and yummy restaurant for vegetarians in Saigon! They have a mixture of Vietnamese/ Indian and Westener vegan/vegetarian friendly food and drink.
Read moreThe place has a peaceful and quite ambiance located right on the main street. The staffs and service are also very professional.
My favorite dishes include: Vietnamese Vegan curry, Palak Paneer and Momos.

Wonderful huge veg restaurant - Edit
This place is huge in size and in their menu options - pretty much every cuisine is covered. Only about 20% is vegan but that's still enough to give you loads of choices. The tofu in ginger and garlic is my favourite, full of flavors I love. The laab tofu had way too much lemongrass to resemble the Thai dish but was still tasty. The burgers are small and the bun is a little dry, but having a wholegrain option is a blessing that is rarely found in Saigon. My husband reports that the pizzas are great (but full of cheese). Prices are on the higher end of moderate. There really is something for everyone here - I recommend you check it out.

Not fully vegan
Read moreThey have a very nice outside space and at night it’s so romantic. Recommend for simple and cute dating. A well decorated place.
Although here it’s not totally vegan but they have a lot of foods on their menu with different styles from western to Mexican then Vietnamese style. Everything seems to be very good and worth giving a try. The price is high. But with that romantic atmosphere and wide range of food to choose from, it’s acceptable.
I recommend their fried spring rolls and the quinoa cauliflower balls with cinnamon and chef turmeric coconut sauce!
Pros: cozy, western, Mexican, Vietnamese style
