Great food with beautiful ethic

The Ban Mi was excellent and especially the mixed filling one. It was too hot for soup or noodles unfortunately.

Pros: Tasty food and friendly service

Yummy

The shop is really cute and philosophically vegan, as well as being authentic street food. The protein banh mi was really yum, it has soy meat, mayo and pate.

A true vegan place!

So nice to eat at a place where they care about the vegan ideology. Interesting choices on the menu – the pillow dumplings were great! I also had the tofu balls bahn mi, which was just okay.

Good Pho

Good Phos, in a small and quiet alley. The story of how they turned their shop vegan and lost almost all their clients overnight is touching. Nice staff and good prices. They can give you filtered water if you have your own recipient.

Pros: Good food, Nice staff, Touching story

A gem

Lovely owners, tasty food. Got the mixed bahn mi and I’ve forgotten the name of the other dish but both were so good. My non vegan partner won’t stop saying how much he loved this place. It feels like a friend has cooked you dinner and you’re just set up in their home enjoying a fab meal.

Ethical and authentic delicious Vietnamese food owned by a vegan family

We had 2 banh mi's - falafel and protein and the dumplings. Both delicious with homemade mayo. Their menu consists of the classics Banh Mi's, spring rolls and Phos but with lots of varieties.
We loved reading all of the little notes on the walls and their ethos as a genuine vegan family running a small business. They lost income by turning their business vegan but still stuck to their ethics so a lot of respect for that!
The food was delicious and super affordable. The place is a little out of the way down an alleyway and just has two little tables. Ethical businesses like this deserve all the support they can get, we will definitely be back to try more!

Cute little Restaurant

Small vegan restaurant. We tried Vietnamese Banh Mi here for the first time, also the Spring Rolls and it was really good. Owned by a super friendly and nice family, would definitely recommend it!
They also fill up your water bottle, also for passengers, which is very nice!

Delicious hole in the wall Banh Mi

All the food we ordered were great. Only fault of this place was we had to call the attention of the person cooking several times.

Pros: Delicious, Affordable

Cons: Hot inside, Few staff members

Great banh mi!

A small restaurant down an alley with delicious banh mi and more! They also ask you to bring refillable water bottles and don’t use plastic bottles there for environmental reasons.

Delicious dumbling

I liked the fried dumbling, and staff is very kind. He gave me pieces of orange style fruit.

lovely

Loved everything about this place. In a tiny alley, out of someone’s family home (I believe!), and the service is so warm and friendly. The food was fast and delicious. Perfect. I hope we get to swing by again before we leave Hanoi!

Good local vegan food

We shared the mixed Bahn mi and mixed noodles. Both were very yum. The bahn mi had a good amount of filling. The noodles were nice and fresh, but I've given a 4 out of 5 because I feel the skimped on the toppings (didn't add very much of each thing). I would recommend to try it out though.

Great vegan street food

We came here three times in our four days in Hanoi and tried almost everything on the menu. So nice to find authentic and delicious vegan street food!

It‘s hidden away in a tiny alley but not hard to find if you know where to look.

Pros: Authentic, Good prices, Delicious food

Tiny restaurant, good food

Very tiny family-run restaurant. Recommended if you want to visit an authentic, not touristy restaurant, but still want to eat vegan. Very friendly staff and extremely affordable! Banh mi was good, could be more flavorful.

Great banh mi

We tried two different banh mi, but recommend the standard ‘mixed protein’ one, as this was the best. It had some v good homemade vegan mayo in it. A casual place with some seating inside and outside in the alley. The guy working there was super friendly and the place had a lovely story/ethos for how it became vegan.
