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.

Tasty food

A very small family run restaurant that offers a fully vegan menu.

The Pho was tasty but the environment let it down slightly. The restaurant is essentially the family’s front room. It is probably a very authentic Vietnamese eating experience though.

Delicious spring rolls

The place is a bit of a hole in the wall and gets quite busy but it's so cute and the story of the family business is so sweet. I would rate the spring rolls a 5/5 and the bahn mi a 4/5. Although I liked the bahn mi I thought it was missing maybe some herbs or like a housing or pickled component (but maybe that's just what I'm used to in Aus!). Would definitely recommend if you are in the area, we tried the soy protein and the mixed bahn mi.

Family run

A good small menu and nice background vegan story to the place. Liked that it’s family run. Enjoyed the banh mi and had our first pho in Hanoi

Nice service, good food 🧡

A small hidden place with vegan food, you can try different bahn mi and some typical vietnamese food.
We loved:
-Pho (Hot noodle soup)
-Mixed noodles (cold noodles)
-Crispy pillow dumpling
The owners are super friendly. We recommend the place!

Very cheap, great banh mi

We had two tofu ball bahn mis and the crispy pillow dumplings. Both were delicious and only cost 100VND in total. Felt very authentic sitting on the street too. Would really recommend. There's no drinks on the menu but there's a street vendor within the outdoor seating who you can get drinks from

Pros: Lots of choices , Lots of flavour, Very cheap

Would like to love the food as much as their story!

Loved the place and their story. I ordered spring rolls and a falafel bahn mi, but it just wasn't as good as expected after reading all the reviews. Would still recommend and will probably go back to try some other meals.

Came back for the dumplings and pho. The dumplings are amazing!

So glad we went

The Bahn Mi with tofu balls and peanut sauce was superior to any of the other Bahn Mi's we had here in Hanoi! The mixed Bahn Mi was a bit bland unfortunately. The fried dumpling was amazing though so overall this place is very much worth the visit.

We thought it would be difficult to find, but as soon as we looked lost a street vendor pointed us in the right direction!

Their story and food

Nourish my soul. Follow the signs outside or ask some local vendors. A small place making a big difference, Vegan Banh Mi is delicious and top rated for a reason. A humble and welcoming stop with free drinking water and bottle refills 🥰🙏🏽🌿

hidden place

The restaurant is hidden, away from the street, only a sign shows where it is.

A nice lady is working there, unfortunately she doesn't speak English, but she was super friendly. My banh mi was delicious and the price is fair too!

Lovely introduction to Bánh Mì for me

Excellent, delicious crispy bánh mì from a lovely little café. I also tried one of the soups (don't remember which one) which was deliciously sour and savoury. Lovely lovely place and my non-vegan friend who lives here comes regularly.

Pros: Friendly people, Delicious food, Feels good to support ethical vegans

Fantastic meal, all vegan.
My favourite was the bao bun and the spring rolls. They also have free filtered water refills which was great- we filled out drink bottle.
Look at photos in reviews to find it easily- it helped me!

Pros: Taste, Value, Effort

Best Bánh Mì in town

They lost almost all their customers when turning vegan but kept serving vegan food. Lovely story 🌱💚

We literally ordered their whole menu and all their Bánh Mì tasted amazing.

The restaurant can be a bit tricky to find as you're literally eating in the family's living room(?).

Pros: Authentic , Tasteful , Cheap
