Soooooo Yummy

I've enjoyed every single bite. One of the best vegan dinner in town if not the best and surely the cheapest. No frills restaurant far from picture perfect dishes however super tasty and abundant

Nice, good and cheap

Very good, cheap with nice stuff. If you will explain what you don't eat, they will make it like that. There's actually 3 restaurats from the same company/family in surrounding. I would give 5 stars if would be possible for non-veg restaurants

Disappointing

We ordered the fresh spring rolls which were listed in the vegetarian section of the menu. Unfortunately they contained egg and we gave them to other customers.
The waiter later told us that we should have told him that we are vegan. We did not have to pay for them.

We also ate the veggie curry and tomato tofu. The tofu in both meals tasted a little strange and we could not finish the dishes.

The mango and carrot juice were tasty.

Pros: Cheap

So yummy so cheap

I had the veggie curry and added tofu, it was so so tasty! Also, order the fresh spring rolls and fried spring rolls. The fresh springs rolls had pineapple inside which made it taste so good (it is a must try)! The food was very cheap and came out very fast. I will for sure go back here before I go to try some other options they had. 10/10 would recommend this place if you are in Cat Ba.

Pros: Lots of options , Cheap

Cons: Serves meat and fish

Frühlingsrollen

Hat eine ganze Seite vegetarischer Gerichte. Dazu preisgünstig im Vergleich zu den anderen Restaurants in diesem fürchterlichen Ort. Die vegetarischen Frühlingsrollen (unfrittiert) waren sehr lecker. Für 40k gab es 6 Stück.

Pros: Die Frühlingsrollen waren sogar vegan.

Great option!

I would definitely recommend this place. I did not find many cheap Vegan options in Cat Ba and this place hits the target. Ordered Spicy Sichuan Tofu which was disappointing because it did not held up to the Sichuan Spiciness as stated but still good as was the Veggie Curry.

Pros: Vegan options, Good price compared to other places in Cat Ba.

Cons: Crowded, Hot, Fan cools food fast

Good cheap Eatery

I had the veg curry and my friend had the vegg salad. Good portions and cheap price. Curry came with rice. Quality of food is not at the same level as other places on the island but in terms of value for money this is why I have given 4 stars. Staff where also friendly

Pros: Page of veggie and vegan

Cons: None

Great affordable vegan/vegetarian food in Cat Ba

Yummy restaurant is a great place to have dinner or lunch in Cat Ba with lots of vegan options. They have a page on the menu with vegetarian options and if you tell them you are vegan they can adjust the dishes for you. I definitely recommend to have sticky rice as a dessert. Did I mention the prices are affordable? And above all the staff is amazingly friendly as well.

Pros: Options, Price, Service

Cons: Not 100% healthy

Cheap

Food is cheap and the owner understood what I mean when I said vegan, however when my food came out it smelt really fishy so I double checked there was not fish sauce etc in it. The guy checked with the kitchen and then sheepishly came back and took my plate away and said they would make a fresh one....so if you’re going to eat here just make sure you are extra diligent about what they are actually putting in the veggie options. The food was pretty bland but it’s cheap so you can’t expect much!

Cheap-ish and good

Glad to find a place only halfway - tourist priced restaurant > cheap in comparison to other places on cat ba.
Fast service, quite a few veg choices and nice staff - will be back again! Comfy atmosphere and frequented by both locals and foreigners it seems, can get busy around lunch time

Pros: Cheap, Tasty

Decent food, cheap eats!

Small place with a number of veggie options. Food didn't look exactly like the photos, and was a little more bland than I was expecting. Didn't mind it, just nothing exceptional. Price was right, couldn't go wrong for 10-20k per dish!

Pros: Cheap, Lots of options

Cons: Food was a little bland

Cheap and cheerful

Not very pretty on the outside but it's the food that counts. We were really suprised at how flavourosme everything was and at how cheap our meal was! The waiter spoke english and easily understood that we wanted our dishes to be made vegan.

Healthy and cheap

Vegan options include steamed or stir fried tofu and vegetables and banana leaf salad. Simple but tasty and at an unbeatable low price. Friedly, english-speaking staff. We got served quickly. Drinks are also very low in price.

Pros: Vegan non-stir-fried dishes, Low price, Saturating serving size

拒絕用坑華人的中文菜單

英文菜單跟中文菜單的價格根本不一樣,中文菜單很貴,根本是拿來坑華人的,還用人民幣算,我來自台灣,OK?

Cons: 中文菜單很貴,我要英文菜單!, 看到華人就是要坑!

good service

I really did not like their schezuan tofu. It is the first time it happens to me, I couldn't even take more than 5 spoons of it. They didn't charge me for it. It tasted like butterschot hard candy, but with black mushrooms and super spicy. I think I just got unlucky with this place.

I took fries with black pepper sauce, the sauce is super liquid, I wished they would make it more thick.

And finally! The fried rice with tofu and veggie was just fine.

There are at least two restaurant in town called yummy restaurant, same thing

Price cheap for the touristy place

Awesome restaurant with many delicious vegan options

We visitied this place 4 or 5 times and most of the dishes were super good.
The staff speaks english and understands what "vegan" means, there are so many vegan options and some vegetarian meals can be veganised as well.
It's really cheap, delicious and mostly healthier.
What we liked most were: Pho, Curry Pho, Curry, Pumpkin coconut curry (yes, we do like curry :D), mango sticky rice, pad thai, papaya salad and hot pot.
Totally recommend, would definitely give 5 stars if just the food was rated (but Happy Cow doesn't let me anyways).
Got there!

Pros: cheap, fresh and yummy food, staff speaks english!, many vegan options

Cons: interior wasn't the best, serves meat

High quality cheap food!

Visited this family run restaurant 3 times during our stay on Cat Ba! They have a whole page of veggie food and you can ask to make most of it vegan. (The pumpkin coconut soup was the best I’ve had in SEA). The lady who owns the restaurant was so kind and friendly. The price of all food is fab and you get a good portion! If I could give it 5 stars I would😄

Pros: Lots of choice , Brilliant price , Friendly owner

2 restaurants both are great.

There are two of these restaurants within about 5 minutes walking distance from each other. We went to both and both are great.

We had a mixed group of 4 (1 vegan, 1 veggie and 2 meat eaters) and everyone had plenty of options.

We had vegetarian Pho, Sweet and sour tofu and vegetarian Bun Cha Nem. Our meat eating friends also enjoyed their prawns and pork.


We also highly recommend the mango sticky rice.

Pros: Loads of options. , Quick service, Mango sticky rice

Awesome cheap Vegan options

This restaurant is great! Family run and filled with smiling faces. It gets insanely busy at night but it is totally understandable. Definitely try the vegan Pho there. It isn’t listed as vegan but the pho option with veggies is made with veg broth. Ask again to be safe! The hot pot was a highlight of my time in Vietnam. More than enough food for 3 people. Lots of fresh vegetables for only 180k. The smoothies are great too!

Pros: cheap, easily listed, great staff
