So good

Amazing food, very good vibe, pricey.
The cauliflower pasta was perfect
The tofu banh mi was a bit salty bus still good
The mini hummus was very good
The casadia was amazing - the pesto is very powerful (so maybe dont order the pesto pasta)
Nice banana bread
Will come here again

Delicious!

Local vietnamese and fusion kitchen. We had the „Chicken Rice“ which is very popular in Hoi An - very delicious! Bao Buns very a little bit small… Ambiente and the staff are very nice.

Pros: Ambiente, Friendly staff, Great food choice

Love the Vietnamese part of the menu and looooove the staff

My husband and I had dinner here and it was delicious. We had bao buns, fresh spring rolls and this noodles bowls with fried spring rolls. It was super fresh and incredible. We’re probably back here tomorrow!

Pros: Beautiful backyard , Nice staff/family owned, Amazing vegan traditional Vietnamese cuisine

Cons: Small portions

Best cooking class!

Our dinner here was excellent. The menu is full of delicious treats, combining vegan adaptations of Vietnamese dishes, some more "mainstream" plates (e.g. vegan cheese platter) as well as sweet cakes and nice drinks.
We were so convinced and came back for the vegan cooking class. We can highly recommend this! It was full of love, very funny and a great experience.
Chickpea Eatery is a passionately run family business and you notice this in every little detail! We would have loved to come here more often.

Chickpea Eatery cooking class

Chickpea eatery is a vegan restaurant where you can feel the love. Their food, their mood, their class... everything's amazing.
It's a must go.

Amazing food

I was in Hoi An for over a week and went there 6 times the food was so good! Staff were very lovely and kind. Have a range of Vietnamese and Western food. They also have some desserts - I tried the brownie, cinnamon roll and baked cheesecake. My favourites were the Cao Lau (Hoi An noodle dish), Bahn Bao and the brownie. They have outside seating with fans and chickens roam about. To get to the restaurant you need to walk down an alley but there is a sign on the main road with Chickpea eatery. I will definitely be going back next time I’m in Hoi An.

It was nice

Nice setting.
Lots of options.
I went for the Pesto pasta, personally wasn't my favourite but that might be due to the Thai Basil.

Amazing food and venue

The food was fantastic! I got the 'chicken rice's and my wife got the 'beef' sandwich which were amazing. Had the mini bao buns to start off and wow, they're delish.

And the restaurant is located just off the streets so it's nice and quiet with some atmospheric music to go with the decor and garden. The family's story is also awesome to hear!

Pros: Food was delish, Venue was lovely, Family start up story is great!

Very nice vegan restaurant!

Great Ambiente, hidden in a quiet little alley, very kind staff, delicious vegan food. They also offer cooking classes and partner with a vegan cheese company. This was a delightful experience😄

A must visit!

The food is so good. A lot of options available. The price is fair. We've been in Vietnam for 2,5 weeks. We travelled from Hanoi to Hoi An and it's the best vegan restaurant so far. The staff is very friendly. Also you can do a cooking Vegan Cooking Class. The food is very fresh and so delicious. We'll come back for sure!

Pros: Delicious & fresh, Very friendly staff and nice scenery, A lot of options

AMAZING food!!

I can’t recommend Chickpea Eatery enough, you should definitely visit if you’re in Hoi An!! The staff are so lovely and the food was AMAZING, we ate here everyday - the best vegan food I’ve had so far in Vietnam, and the prices were good! My favourite things were the Bun Cha Gio and Vietnamese pancake 😍 (also the notes they put on the food are so cute)

Great place

A must-visit in Hoi An. It's not just a restaurant, but a beautiful experience that leaves you with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound appreciation for vegan cuisine.

Yummy

Lovely place with chickens and a tiny little puppy trotting around. The food was yummy, especially the quesadillas. I wasn't as big a fan of the desserts -- they were okay but nothing special. Overall, i found it a bit pricier for what we got, but there were lots of options and everything was very well done

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good vibes

Cons: The desserts were ok

Sweet staff, fab food

Lovely restaurant run by ethical vegans. Their chicken rice was one of the best I’ve tried—juicy, peppery and very fragrant. We also loved the bao buns! They were rather nondescript in appearance but surprised us with their delicious flavour combination. I wasn’t so keen on the “Hoi An style smoothie” I got, as it was quite watery and plain. My partner popped back in the day after to get some banana bread and said it was disappointing—dry and stodgy. It seems their savoury food is where it’s at!

We ate dinner here during the evening and sat inside as the outside seating was quite buggy, but we would’ve loved the chance to sit in the pretty garden courtyard in the daylight if we’d had enough time.

Pros: Ethically vegan 💚, Fresh and flavoursome food 🌱

Wonderful place and kind staff!

Fantastic place in Hoi An! I went twice during my 2 day trip because the food was so great! Staff are so lovely and kind! Really extensive menu with both local Vietnamese dishes and western choices too. Food is fresh and flavorful. The vegan chicken rice was great as was the bahn mi! Desserts also shouldn't be missed! Loved sitting outside to eat in the little garden. Wonderful restaurant for everyone regardless if you are vegan or not! Highly recommend!

Pros: Staff, Extensive and varied menu, Flavorful and fresh food

100% vegan spot in Hoi An

We went several times while in Hoi An and it was great. Tried the Cao Lau, the quesadilla, the rice pancakes, the chicken and rice dish, and the bun cha gio. Faultless!

Delicious Food

We went to the Chickpea Eatery for lunch and had the most amazing meals, the flavours were divine. I was so impressed that I booked into the cooking class a few days later so I could recreate some of the meals when I got back home. It was the best cooking class I've done, so much fun and delicious creations. I knew that some of the ingredients wouldn't be available in NZ so the girls were super helpful in directing me to the right places to get them. The story behind the eatery is inspiring and the girls were all so lovely. I wish them all the very best.

GO THERE :):):)

Did the cookingclass there and went to eat.
Loved it!
Received so much information about vegan food, a lot of laughter, refreshing drinks, trip to the market (they know where to go and not to go;)). Everyone had their own little kitchen in the garden so you did everything yourself. So special what they do with mock meat, even use mock chickenskin.
HAVE FUN!

Pros: Lovely looking restaurant , Some of the best vegan/Vietnamese food ever, Wonderfull contact with the family

Cons: Be aware that the cookingclass is just 3 days a wk

Best vegan place in Vietnam!

The food and service here were absolutely outstanding! We chatted to the sisters who run it and they’re very committed to the animals and creating a vegan community and world, which was so inspiring 😊 the food was so good we went twice in one day! Highly recommended 🥰
