Mixed Feelings - Edit
Very nice lady who runs it that speaks English. Didn't like the pho but it may have been a South Vietnam thing because I liked it much better in Hoi An. The food was okay. Buffet looked a little shady but don't have an experience to back that up. I went to the bathroom, in the kitchen area, and stepped over two big pots that were open with no lids on them. They were full of veggies and broth. I thought it was disgusting. Anything on my shoe would have fallen in there and probably did. It was moved by the time I came out of the bathroom so maybe there were just organizing but there's no room for that in a restaurant. Didn't get sick from the food. The place is nice on the inside and prices good. Judge for yourself.

Hi Librahi,
Read moreSome great news for you. I went to this place earlier today. When I went to the bathroom at the back of the kitchen I didn't have to step over any pots on the way. Maybe they read your review and were concerned you were disgusted that they had pots with no lids sitting on the kitchen floor.
Keep well, Stevie

Great little local vegan option! - Edit
I love this place; I was staying near it, so went three times. It's very casual and local. The best part is the woman chef-manager, who is very sweet.
Read moreAdmittedly, the menu is not always expansive (they have a menu, but don't really go by it as far as I can tell -- you can usually get what they happen to be making that day). The food in the front has also been sitting for awhile, though even when I had that (basically rice with a mix of dishes they've made that day, some involving tofu, some mock meats, though they also had a good makeup of veggies in my experience), it was pretty good. The pho was good, as was the ban xeo I had.
It probably won't absolutely blow your mind in terms of taste, but it's good, easy, inexpensive, and a friendly place -- and a very handy all-vegan option! (Also seemed to have good hours -- was open whenever I tried, including lunch and near 22.00).
Pros: Good quality & taste, Friendly staff, Inexpensive

Great Food Great People - Edit
So far this has been my best find in hcmc/saigon. I have been here countless times in the last 10 days. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. Tons of options on the buffet table. Choose and point style with rice or noodles. Everyone goes out of there way to make you feel welcome and will even show you what sauces to use or how they eat certain dishes. They do have pho and soups and maybe even a menu but the buffet table is incredible and changes. I will go back yet again to try a pho that the lady has recommended. I wish them the best. Check out their facebook page for a discount if you can guess what food is pictured in the photos. This discount is something new they are about to try out. January 1-10 2015

Good Stuff - Edit
The owner told me that she studied in Taiwan and everything in the place is vegan. Apart from that, it's almost impossible to identify many of the ingredients, but it's all good. The food was delicious and her husband was really enthusiastic about dishing out the food. Despite my speaking no Vietnamese at all, he was undeterred in his expositions of how to eat each bite and with which sauce to do it.
Read moreGreat food, fun guy, basically free if you are of average means. Definitely give it a shot!

Cheap, friendly vegan food - Edit
Staff were really friendly, despite speaking little English they managed to explain to us that lunchtimes they offer a couple of pho type dishes or a buffet.
Read moreWe tried the buffet and got a plate piled up with rice, veggies, tofu and mock meat dishes, plus a bowl of green soup.
All was OK, not earth-shattering but fine, really cheap and cheerful. It was very busy with mainly Vietnamese customers rushing in for their lunch breaks.
Pros: Vegan, Cheap, Friendly staff

Super friendly and amazing bargain! - Edit
Ate here twice on recent trip and have to say it was super good. Value is amazing, the owner is super friendly and speaks reasonable but limited English. All the other staff are also very friendly and seemed lovely, but spoke no English. All the food is vegan and was delicious. Knowing all the food is vegan was helpful as the menu was a handwritten list of the dishes Vietnamese names and was largely a shot in the dark based on whether you wanted 'soup' or 'rice'. I had banh canh (noodle soup) on first visit and it was so flavoursome and served with a large portion of fresh herbs like lemon balm on the side, as well as delicious fiery chillies and lime added as you like. The second visit I had the owners rice suggestion, which was a little bit of everything: a few different vegetable dishes and a dazzling array of tasty tofu based goodies with a sweet potato sauce and pickles. Mung bean milk is also really good here. Another exceptional thing was the price... Unbelievably cheap with most dishes around 30-40VND. If you get the chance go!

Delicious and charming - Edit
Went there for lunch today and the Pho soup has been amazing as well as the deep fried spring roles and another starter plate (mock meat, peanuts, herbs) to share with friends. When we arrived the cook welcomed us friendly and explained the menu to us in poor English but as the place is 100% vegan you can just choose according to photos and price or she will recommend something to you.

A Great Find - Edit
Stumbled upon this place at lunchtime while we were on a long trek through the streets of Saigon. Just in time! We really needed a good sit down and a bite to eat. Place was busy with mostly female office workers. They suggested we try their rice and veggie dish which arrived promptly and was delicious, containing light-textured seitan fake meat. Also accompanied by a bowl of spinach broth - delicious! We also sampled an unusual jellied and gingered veg concoction wrapped in banana leaf which was equally as good. Our meal plus two green teas came to about two dollars each. They were also serving huge bowls of veggie Pho soup. Looked very filling. If you can find this place, well worth a visit.
