Sumptuous meal for a very affordable price

Very very affordably priced menu. For example, we ordered
1. com (rice on the menu, which comes with stir fried vegetables, tofu and eggplant.
2. Com chien (Fried rice)
3. Banh goi, banh nam ( 'cakes')
4. A drink

The portions were filling for two adults, especially one adult (me) being a heavy eater. It costed just 50,000 VND ( = 2 EUROS)

They tasted very very good.

Pros: Very affordable price, Tastes good, Most of the options are vegan except the drinks

Cons: Could be crowded

Closed two days in a row

We didn’t get to go here, we went yesterday and were told they were closed till 4 (we arrived at 2pm). We went back today and learned it was closed again. Can’t speak to the food! But happy cows info is incorrect!

Cheap and tasty

Don't know why people are saying this place is dirty, it seemed clean enough to me.
Not a big selection and no English spoken.
I had phố khổ. Small portion but tasted good enough.

Pros: Cheap, Tasty

Cons: No English , Small portion

Super cheap local place

We went on a rainy Sunday lunch and the restaurant was packed - a good sign. The place wasn’t that clean, but nothing too bad and personally I’m not bothered, I’ve never got a crook stomach in Vietnam yet so am not too worried (India and Nepal were a different story haha).
Definitely get the “com” which is steamed rice with a variety of veggie/tofu/jackfruit dishes for only 10,000 dong. We also tried the “pho kho” (fried noodles), “rau bop” (mixed veggies), and “banh beo” dumplings (I think?). We filled up on 5 dishes between the two of us and it came to only 46,000 dong which is about what we usually pay for ONE meal - amazing value! The food came out super fast too.

Pros: incredibly cheap, pretty tasty, quick service

Very disappointed

Such a big disappointment, especially the service. The food is somehow OK, small portion and cheap. But the restaurant was dirty and service was poor. Perhaps this is an example of "you get what you pay".

Pros: Cheap food

Cons: Dirty, Poor service

Was ok

Had the hot pot and found it very bland. Not much flavour going on. Not the greatest of foods but was cheap.

Was good

The food was good, the restaurant offers mostly mock meat. There is quite a variety to choose from, for my chicken with chili and pepper are 3 stars appropriate.

super lecker

Wir haben zwei mal hier gegessen und uns etwas durch die Karte probiert. Die Hotspots waren lecker, aber uns haben vor allem die fried mushrooms und die reisplatte (com) überzeugt..die kommt mit Gemüse und tofu/Soja

Best veg place in Vietnam

This is by far the best vegetarian place I've been to in Vietnam. I've tried 5 of their dishes and all were amazing. The soy beans in flour is the best one, as well as the Hue dish Beo cake (something like that).
Great prices too.
Only thing is that the prices on the menu are not in the right order, so if you're on a low budget like me, ask for the prices when ordering.

Great value

Really enjoyed the rice plate (com), it came with various different vegetables, bamboo, jackfruit and a large piece of tofu. Pretty tasty food for the price and always packed! Also one of the cheapest hot pots around that looked really good!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Basic rice plate, Super cheap

Cons: Hard to know what items on the menu are, Hard to communicate with staff, A bit dirty

Cheap and quite tasty food

Would highly recommend the fried mushrooms which were delicious! The noodle soup was quite nice but the sauce tasted quite fishy and I was slightly wary of it.

There is quite a lot of rubbish on the floor and the tables were not especially clean. I didn't get ill or anything so I don't think that it was a massive issue in the end.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Messy

Really cheap tasty food

The food here is such good value for money and very tasty. The menu is a little confusing but the ‘rice’ for 10k VND isn’t just plain rice it does come with some veg and tofu on top so you can eat for really cheap. I would recommend ordering another dish to fill up properly. They’re all between 15-30k VND and many have tofu/mock meats in. Don’t be put off by it looking a bit grimy it’s always full with locals which is a good sign and we’ve been fine after eating.

Eaten here three times!

Really like this place! Lovely staff and the food I feel is very good quality. You know its good when it's always busy with the locals. Everytime iv eaten here it gets better, 2 plates of food for around 35-40k. The fried mushrooms are great and so surprisingly is the plate of vegatables - more like a salad but full of different flavours. The rice option is not plain rice but a mix of tofu and veg. Also i really enjoy thier chilli sambal.

Pros: Really Tasty Food, Plate of veg (salad) , Such good value

Cons: None

Very nice place for an authentic experience

A lot of Vietnamese enjoy their daily food here, we shared a table with a local and had a great conversation. Don’t let the rubbish on the floor hold you back (we’ve seen it in many more local/rural restaurants and survived;)), it’s really good food for a fair price. Enjoy!

Filthy

Want to give zero but 2 stars are automatic. Walked to the restaurant to see rubbish all over the floor where people are eating, saw on tripadvisor this isn't a one off. I dread to think about the hygiene in the kitchen, I refused to eat there and walked on.

Pros: Pictures of the food looked nice online, Seems to have a high rating from others

Cons: Filthy

Tasty food, super cheap!

Pretty busy, I was the only person in there who wasn’t a local which made a very nice change!

Food came out really quick, it was really tasty & so so cheap!

I had mushrooms and veg with rice, they also brought out a soup too

I would agree with what people have said before me, the floor is absolutely full of litter and napkins which is such a shame because the food is otherwise so good

Cheap local food

Great cheap place to eat in real Vietnamese style. It's packed here, especially near the full or new moon when many of the local Buddhists eat vegetarian. I can recommend the "Com" for 10,000 Dong, "Bahn Nam" for another 6,000 Dong, and best of all the fried mushrooms. Enjoy!

Good but not vegetarian !

Be careful, the banh cuon (steamed rolls) were not vegetarian, they had pieces of ham in them. The rest of the meal was good.

Pros: Cheap. Vegan options.

Cons: Not very clean. And not all vegetarian !

Awesome eats in Hue

I ate here twice while in Hue. Excellent and inexpensive vegan food. As others have mentioned here, the place is for the locals. Few tourists there besides me. They don't seem to really sweep the floor or wipe the tables regularly, but no one there seemed to mind. I ordered hot food, so I wasn't worried about it being tainted for my sensitive western tummy. A very authentic Hue eating experience.

Pros: Excellent food, Large servings, Inexpensive

Cons: It did seem a little "dirty"

This place is amazing. They sell real authentic Hue food for local

Amazing vegetarian Hue food which can’t be found anywhere else in Vietnam. Highly recommend Banh Beo, Banh Loc, Banh Nam and Especially Banh Cuon.

Price is set for local customer Not tourists so expect to be pleasantly surprised.

Pros: All vegan options , Authentic local food, Very inexpensive

Cons: Average customer service , Not as clean as westernised restaurants, May struggle to communicate in English

Delicious food and extremely cheap

Ate here for dinner on our last night and wished we were staying longer justa o we could eat here again. Food is delicious. There is an English menu, but not extremely accurate or detailed so expect a surprise dish here or there, last of the fun. Rice paper rolls and com were delicious, highly recommend. Bought 5 dishes and only cost us 40 000vnd including a jug of pandas green tea.

Pros: All vego, dairy is specified , Extremely cheap, Always busy

Cons: Not the cleanest place , Menu is not 100% accurate

meh

We were told to come here by a local, who told us it was very popular/famous.

The restaurant was SO DIRTY!! There was trash and dirt all over the floor, and dried sauce all over the menu (I had to wipe it off). We went at 10am so for it to be so dirty in the morning makes it seem like they don't bother to clean up at night? Fingers crossed we don't get sick.

The food was cheap but honestly very ordinary. Go elsewhere.

Cons: dirty

Good food, place smells weird

We loved the hotpot here - it was so cheap and delicious. They give you fermented tofu with every dish which smells really bad, so the whole place kind of smells like it.

Pros: Cheap, Many options

Cons: Weird smell, Dirty

Yum

We spent about 5 days in Hue and ate here nearly every day. Cheap and delicious, what more could you want. It's was full of locals too. Always a good sign.

Pros: cheap, quick, delicious

Cons: get there early or they run out of food
