Worth the Search

As many have said, it is a bit difficult to find, but well worth it. A nice family run eatery. Super friendly, and seemed to all be ethical vegans :)

Incredible Pad Thai for 55,000 VND

This place stole my heart. It's a small eatery that's a 100% vegan. I tried their Spring rolls for 40,000 VND and Pad Thai for 55,000 VND and both of them were the best ones I've ever had in my life. They offer vegan ice cream, juices, soups and heaps of dishes. Appetizers are around 40,000 VND and mains are around 50,000 VND. I loved this place so much and highly recommend checking it out.

Pros: Great atmosphere, Prices are reasonable, Try the spring rolls and pad thai

Fantastic dinner

The place down the end of an alley turned out to be much more than I had expected. The family who ran the place were very nice, the decór was cosy and the food was ridiculously tasty. Everything down to steel straws and glass drinking jars was thought of. Will have to return

Pros: Many options , Lovely staff, Cosy environ

Cons: Drinks a little bit pricey

So cheap and so good!

We visited here a few times during our stay. The place is tucked away down an alley, but it's 100% worth the effort to find. Food is amazing and so cheap. The staff are very kind and friendly. My favorite place in HCMC.

Pros: Delicious, cheap, friendly staff

Cons: Small thing: I would turn the TV off and put some

Great hospitality

We found this place on Happy Cow and decided to give it a go. It took us some time to find between construction sites and alleyways only to find out that we got too late and was already closed. A neighbour of the restaurant then saw us, went in and made a gesture towards us to come in. Said something to people in the restaurant, it seemed they were having a family dinner, and then they welcomed us in. They only had one dish available, similar to phô but with round noodles. It was delicious! The experience, the warmth and openness of the locals, the food, and even vegan only! I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this review.

Pros: Vegan, Cosy, Family business

Hard to find, but worth the effort

This place is tucked away in one of the many alleys of Saigon. It’s a bit hard to find, but definitely worth seeking out. I had the Bun Rieu, which I’ve never had before. I really enjoyed it. The broth was a beautiful golden color, and it brought together a nice balance of herbs and flavors. I also ordered a passion fruit pineapple juice, which was really delicious. The freshness of the fruits came out really nicely.

Pros: Good juice, Lots of Vietnamese classics

Excellent

Followed other reviews and headed down the alley by the school. Excellent food, particularly the aubergine hotpot. No alcohol but the passionfruit-soda water was great. Quick service and v tasty. For main meal plus drink, cost ~80k

Freaking amazing vegan place, food and people

I had the fresh spring rolls, pad Thai, ginger tea and chocolate ice cream. Every single dish was delicious. They have a wide range of vegan Vietnamese/Asian dishes. Loved the vibe

Very good food. Had the pad thai, dumplings and the ice cream cake desert. At least one of the waitresses was vegan herself as well.

pad thai

It's a nice brightly restaurant with friendly staff. The pad thai is amazing and everything we had was well flavored. They have excellent desserts as well. Not the best, but one of my favorite restaurants in Vietnam.

Pros: tasty food, cheap for what you get

Cons: no fresh chilli

Fantastic find

Tucked down the end of an alley, this place is worth hunting down. Great interior, friendly staff and cheap prices make worth the effort. Dumplings tasted fresh, the mushroom in pepper sauce was okay but the stir fry veg noodles were the clear winner, with a beautiful smoky wok flavour that I love. Pho and mushroom veggie BBQ were also fantastic. Most people seem to love the pad Thai but I didn't rate it, plus it was nothing like a traditional pad Thai. Ice cream is also worth trying - the vanilla was full of coffee flavour (not to my liking) however the pineapple was out of this world. I highly recommend avoiding the crepe cake. Will be going back.

Amazing food

We are travelling around the world for some months and this place is one of our favourites so far.
We had the Pad Thai and the meal with HongKong in its name. We also tried the spicy soup and the dumplings.
The soda was a bit to sweet for us though but with this food it did not really matter.
Do not miss this place if you travel to HCMC!

Good meal

This was our first meal in Vietnam, the food was good and the restaurant is very cute. I had the multi colour fried rice which was alright, my partner got the pad Thai and he said it was really good. It’s got quite a lot of options and some nice fresh drinks too. It’s a little hard to find but we managed with google maps alright.

AMAZING // BEST PAD THAI & VEGAN RESTAURANT EVER

You must go here. We absolutely loved the food at this vegan restaurant. We tried the Pad Thai, Dumplings, Spring Rolls, BBQ Mushrooms, Pineapple Fried Rice and Homemade Chocolate & Vanilla Ice-cream. Would highly recommend all!! The staff are amazing, so hospitable, kind and lovely. It is a hidden secret down a back alley way so make sure you have directions to get there. Also the food is such great value for the price, very affordable. I wish I had this cafe in my hometown, all my meals and time at this vegan cafe will be truly missed. - Brandi & Lewis.

Pros: Amazing Pad Thai :), Welcoming Staff :), Clean and comfortable atmosphere :)

Cons: Hard to find as it is down a back alley way :(

Good food, hard to find

This restaurant is really around the bend and a bit of a challenge to find. I was happy though because they have a vegan Vietnamese coffee! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee but could never find a vegan version so I was very excited. It was good even though I don't like coffee.
I had the spring rolls and noodle soup. Both were good. Unfortunately the rice paper for the spring rolls wasn't soaked long enough so they were difficult to eat. However the sauce they were served with was amazingly delicious.

Best vegan restaurant I’ve been to in Ho Chi Minh

Food was so good that I went back 3 times in the space of 4 days.

The owner is super cool - vegan guy who started up a few other restaurants around HCMC.

They have vegan ice cream 🕺🏽And the Pad Thai is to die for

Food is very fresh which is great - leaves you feeling healthy and fulfilled👌🏽 if there was a 6 star option I would give it 🙌🏽

Pros: cheap (45-55k per meal), fresh ingredients, great staff and awesome vibe , vegan ice cream 🍦

Cons: non

cheap and amazing

This place is so adorable and the staff are super friendly! They truely have put detail into the smaller things such as no plastic straws and reusable ones instead.
I had the fried tofu (beware spicy, but sooo good) and the pad Thai which was incredible. The coconuts are 27K so couldn’t resist. The map is perfect so it isn’t so hard to find.
