Vegan Vietnamese go-to in Hoi An

I was so happy to find this place while in Hoi An. It's down a little alley and super genuine. The sauce for the Cao Lau is really good and their portion sizes are large. They are motivated by community and commitment to the earth, and I will definitely be back when in Hoi An😄

Pros: Vegan versions of central region Viet food , Has tempeh , Vegan cashew cheese

Cons: Some dishes a bit salty

Great healthy food and lovely staff

Good menu with lots of delicious dishes. The staff are lovely . Nice place to go to for a healthy, protein heavy and non oily meal. I had their Cao Lao, the Baos and the vegan chicken and rice, which I loved and tasted super clean.

Pros: Vegan chicken and rice, Baos, Cao Lau

Best vegan restaurant in town

I highly recommend this place. You can have a good, relaxing rest from the overload of this town. Food is really good and they also offer cooking classes (bit expensive compare to others in the area).

Super Wahl!

Das Restaurant war nicht do einfach zu finden ... am Ende einer winzigen Gasse. Das Essen ist sehr schmackhaft. Tolles Familienprojekt - weiter so!

Pros: Sehr freundlicher, englischsprachlicher Service, Schöner und gemütlicher Innenhof, Sehr schön angerichtetes und schmackhaftes Essen

Cons: Etwas schwierig zu finden, ... sonst fällt mir nichts ein ;-), das war's!

Amazing cooking class + food

Ate here twice and did the cooking class with Mai. The restaurant and cooking class are both amazing. The staff is super friendly and the food is healthy, fresh and tasteful. They have a lot of nice vegan options on their menu.
We also had a lot of fun with the cooking class and Mai really took her time with us.🫶 Highly recommend!

Amazing experience at the cooking class.

The vegan cooking class is the coolest thing I have done on my trip! I had so much fun and learned a lot! Mai is amazing and I wish I could just hang out with her all the time. She has a great sense of humor, is knowledgeable and super friendly. Definitely eat here and take the cooking class. You won’t regret it!

Unique experience

Very friendly and fast service. Great choice of vegan dishes. According to my opinion a little bit too much of western style dishes. The vietnamese dishes I ordered were delicious. I enjoyed the cozy ambience. A restaurant with a lot of dedication to veganism.

Heaven for vegan foodie

Everything from welcome to goodbye. Friendly staff, amazing finger licking good food, freshly cooked and fast service.

Open kitchen, so you can see staff preparing your meals.

If I could, I would rate this place 100 out of 10 that’s how good it truly is.

Pros: All the dishes we ordered were excellent , Friendly staff, Food prepared with lots of care and love

Cons: None I can think of

Tasty

Really enjoyed the food here. However took quite some time to get the falafel bowl which my partner ordered so he had to watch me eat :). Would be better if they sync meals

Delicious and fun cooking class

If you are looking for an experience that combines cultural immersion, cooking, fun, and delicious food, then sign up for the cooking class. Great for anyone but a must if you're vegan!

Amazing Vegan Cooking Afternoon

A total must for anyone wanting a fun afternoon with a huge amount of delicious vegan food to munch on at the end. We really loved the market tour and learnt new things about eating vegan in Vietnam that have made us a little braver in future! There was a delicious drink and we had a few tastes along the way.
The whole chickpea team were super friendly and helpful and were there with just the right amount of support in getting the dishes right.
We left completely full with a takeaway bag with a full meal for later! Some feedback for the team: need a little more space for all the delicious dishes on the table and anyone over 5’6” struggled with the low height of the workbenches - however this did not spoil any enjoyment of the day [censored]

Pros: Friendly helpful team, Amazing fresh ingredients , Learning new things

Relaxed vibes and fresh food

When entering chickpea eatery, you're walking into a bit of a different world. The closed garden gives you a nice atmosphere and the whole place breathes positivity.

The food is also awesome. We had a bunch of stuff, the noodles, the chicken rice, the scrambled tofu Bahn Mi and the bao bun.

The chicken rice was my favorite, citrussy and vibrant and really hits the spot.

Kept coming back for more

Modest outdoor setting with delicious fresh food. Good selection of dishes ranging from Vietnamese to western cuisine at pretty reasonable prices. We enjoyed everything we tried which by the time we left Hoi A was a good portion of the menu. The waitress was always very friendly. We would definitely recommend going to chickpea, it was our favourite place to dine in Hoi An.

Heavenly!

Spent a few hours eating and relaxing at this beautiful place. It feels comfortable and homey! From friendly greetings to heartfelt “see you soon”, the staff was friendly from start to finish. The food: delicious and fresh! You can even have a peek inside the open kitchen from your table. Service is fast, food is great and all vegan, the atmosphere is relaxing - What more could you want?

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Everything

My home away from home!

Chickpea Eatery is just amazing. The family of sisters running it are delightful and Than the server is very friendly and sweet. Have a chat with them and you’ll see!

The food is the best vegan food I’ve had in Hoi An and truthfully falls in the top three of the whole country (I’ve been here for 40 days already). They serve a mix of western food and local Vietnamese cuisine. Make sure to try their Cao Lau and the Bao buns as an appetiser! Everything is made with love and with a big dose of humility. Love this place and can’t wait for everyone else to experience it too💗

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Delicious food, The best staff

Great Service, Amazing Food

Good mixture of vegan local cuisine and western food. As it was not busy during our visit, the owner had a long chat with us. Wish we would have went earlier, because she had great recommendations and insights to the vietnamese culture. Cooking classes are possible too.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Not only was the food absolutely delicious but the staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. The handwritten notes on the food were such a lovely touch. Really affordable!!
Note that the restaurant is slightly down a side road.

Pros: Variety of options on menu , Really friendly waitress, Peaceful atmosphere
