Insider tipp. - Edit
I am very happy, that I found this tiny restaurant at happy cow! It is a little bit hidden and we would never have found it by ourselves. The food was excellent and authentic! Very fresh and hot, directly out of the little kitchen to the table. Payment only by card.

Had the rice noodle salad (Banh Hoi), it was so fresh and I loved the soy pieces. Would definitely come back to try other stuff.

Mium mium - Edit
Great restaurant! The vegetables cooking was amazing, great crunchiness ! The plates flavors were balanced, not too salty as you can sometimes get in Asian food. There are also so many option it’s nearly overwhelming but I’m sure whatever you choose will take you to the moon 😉

The kind of restaurant I'd want to be closer to home - Edit
I literally fell in love with this tiny vegan restaurant. It took me at least 20 minutes to decide what I wanted to have because the options on the menu were all very appealing. I ended up getting vermicelli noodles in a Vietnamese stir fry. I can't recommend this place enough as it is also pretty cheap for the amount of food that you get.
Read moreI wish I tried all the items on their menu, so I'm definitely paying a visit to this place again.

Cute little Vietnamese spot! - Edit
With only 5 or 6 tables they have a menu that is mostly traditional Vietnamese vegan fare. “Chay” in the name actually means “vegetarian in Vietnamese.
Read moreI had the pho soup. I think it was a bit adapted for the Finns so it wasn’t super authentic, but the broth was still really tasty and it hit the spot on a cool rainy late-summer day!
Pros: All vegan, A large menu for a small spot
Cons: Quite expensive. Appetizers cost as much as main, Pho not served with the normal sprouts and herbs

A hidden gem - Edit
Everything was vegan(?)
Read moreThe place was a bit hidden but I'm so glad we found it. We got our food really fast.
They may be out of half the things you want to order. But maybe it was an issue only on that day ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Good price / portion size ratio

Great place to have vegan lunch - Edit
Located in an inner ward of a big office building, not the most tempting place. But food is so good, that you forgive the surroundings. This is one of my favourite lunch places. The price is reasonable and the food is fresh and tasty. There is always few lunch options that they serve pretty fast. You can order from the menu as well, but that normally takes few minutes longer.
Read morePros: fresh, tasty, good value
Cons: place is a bit dark and small

The best place! - Edit
Amazing is the right word for this place! I come by to eat here often and everything is so delicious! The flavours of the food are amazing and it’s cheap. Around 10€ per dish, which is nothing for being in a capital.
Read moreI personally love the location which is away from the busy roads. It’s one of the hidden pearls in Helsinki. It’s small and cozy. Really recommend this place to everyone even if you are not a vegan.
Pros: A lot of vegan options!, Cheap!, Super cozy

Great noodles! - Edit
We went here for a light lunch and ended up turning in to a main meal! Portions sizes here are very generous for the price (especially in Helsinki). Food tastes pretty good, depending on what you get.
Read moreThe spicy, crispy noodles were really tasty and a big portion! The fresh spring rolls are highly recommended as well. The 'beef' pho gave nostalgia to being back in Vietnam, which can only be a good sign! Food was very filling.
The sweet and spicy mock meat sauce left a bit to be desired.
Very nice and friendly staff. They do speak a bit of English if needed.
Also the restaurant is in the middle of a shopping mall that's being reconstructed. It might be confusing to find but there are multiple entrances in to the building... it's just not very obvious.
Pros: Generous portions for price, Tasty noodles and pho
Cons: Construction site made it confusing to find., Sea gulls might try snatch your food outside.
