Cheap com chay

Quán Cơm Chay Trí Đức is a lovely little local vegan restaurant in Q5 just off Clothes Shop Street AKA Nguyen Trai. It has all the usual suspects mock meats and veggies.
Run by a lovely old lady.
Pick your own from the buffet trays.
Open from 6am to 7pm everyday.

Address: Chung cư Phan Văn Trị, 015, đường Đ. Lê Hồng Phong, Phường 2, Quận 5, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Simple, cheap and authentic local food

40000 Dong/ 2 USD for a tasty meal/plate buffet including seaweed soup.

Best quality com chay in the city

For me this is the best cheap veggie place in Saigon, and trust me I've been to a lot of them. Food is fresh and very high quality.

The downside is that the staff are extremely unfriendly. It's important to note that this isn't due to any kind of discrimination against foreigners - they are equally unfriendly with locals. Anyone who has encountered saigonese women of a certain age will understand what I mean.

Excellent food though.

Pros: Great food, Cheap

Cons: Very unfriendly staff

Delicious local food

Although it was a little hard to tell what was offered on the small buffet we had a delicious lunch. The staff was willing to help with explanation in broken English. Other guests were all locals. Pretty cheap as well.

Cheap and delicious

Very tasty food. You can have rice or noodle and the rest you will choose by yourself - all you can eat for a single price. They also have amazing pho soup with soy meat, tofu and vegetables.

Pros: very tasty food, cheap

Cheap

Came late in the evening. Not much of anything left. No English spoken so got a bit of what was left over. Only ate here as was passing. Probably better when there is more choice earlier in the day.

Pros: cheap

Special Price for Whiteys


The food here is quite good, but we were charged 3000 VND for a plain bread roll, and an additional 1000 VND for mugs of tea. As we were literally straight off the boat, we didn't realise that herbal tea is complimentary with every meal. We were wondering why the owner literally burst out laughing when we returned for a second meal. Not a bad place, if you don't mind being jeered by a bunch of allegedly staunch practising Buddhists.

Pros: good food

Cons: strange interpretation of Buddhist values, MSG

Cheap and cheerful

Fairly popular and tasty local fare. Only 32k for rice, 5 buffet selections and ice tea.. Friendly staff, but not much English spoken
