Subvert expectations

I am not sure how to write this review because we didn't actually go to V Vegan, but instead Vy's Deli across the river, which offered V Vegan's menu (on a very confusing system). But since V Vegan's name was on the menu, I figure this review deserves to be here as well.

We were initially excited to see western dishes with cheese on the menu (the one that had V Vegan's name on it) after eating only at chay Vietnamese places for the past couple weeks. We asked the woman at the front if the cheese is vegan, and she said yes.

Because the place is on the expensive side for Vietnam, and since we didn't want to be disappointed with western food in Asia, so we tempered our expectations. We just wanted it to be passable enough to eat. Our expectations were subverted indeed because we couldn't even eat it as vegans.

When we got our food, the cheese looked and smelled suspiciously like it was made out of dairy. Just to be sure, I asked what the cheese was made out of, they answered, "mozzarella," and when I asked what the mozzarella was made out of, they answered "buffalo."

In my opinion, you can't call yourself a vegan restaurant if you have non-vegan items on the menu and fail to specify that it's not vegan. Or change the name to V Vegetarian. The management of this Vy's Deli/V Vegan would open a Halal place and serve pork.

At least they didn't make us pay for what we couldn't eat. So I gave them a star for that.

So if you go to Vy's Deli and see western dishes with cheese under V Vegan's menu, remember that it isn't vegan cheese!

Hello! I am in Hoi an right now and I don't think I am visiting this restaurant after reading your review. Perhaps you should notify happy cow that the place is not vegan. It's a pity that many vegans go there thinking they are eating cruelty free but actually they are not. Thank you for your review

Our favourite vegan food in Hoi An!

I was surprised when we walked past this place and then I couldn't find it on Happy Cow or Google - I assume it's new. Incredible food with lovely staff! We came back a second time and the food was just as good! Highly recommended. We had the Vegetarian Chicken Rice and the Spicy Rice Noodles. Both so good
