Com Chay Nang Tam serves tofu and faux meat type dishes, lightly steamed vegetables. Popular among locals who come for the veggie lunch. In the city center but slightly difficult to find as it's in the 2nd backyard. Reported still open, Nov 2014. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-1:30pm, 5:00pm-9:30pm.

Good food

We enjoyed our visit to Com Chay Nang Tam. They had a very eclectic menu, with plenty of choices. The "cinnamon pate", which I wouldn't order again, was definitely different. It was effectively tofu in a cinnamon glaze, and interesting to eat. A few boring dishes (mushrooms with no flavour), were balanced by a really nice mock whitefish dish and a superb mango salad. Overall, a solid dinner, and good for Hanoi, but not anything to challenge the best restos.

Delicious plate

Veggie lunch as part of tour, so I don`t know about pricing, but good variety of mock elements and veggies, plus soup, very nice temple location, nice staff and atmosphere,...live music

Pros: temple grounds

Don't arrive too late

We arrived at 08.30 and were almost the last customers as they shut at 9.30 or earlier if the last customer has left. Very good food and reason for faux meat is, as I understand it, is because the Buddists do not want to offend the meat eaters so they have faux meats. Good very good and plentiful

Pros: Very good food, Easy to find

Cons: Best to arrive before 8 pm

Tasty Food!

I was delighted with the well seasoned main dishes and I thought they had tasty mock meats. They had a small clean dining area with a homey feel.

Pros: Tasty

Excellent

I had dinner here mid July '08. Food was excellent - I loved it all. Very happy to have found this place which is about a 15-20 minute walk from where I'm staying near Hoan Kiem lake.
Their opening hours are 11-2 and the 5-9.30, so don't go between 2 & 5 as they are closed.

I had spring rolls, sauteed mustard greens & ten flavour fried rice. All were superb & the servings were quite generous. I was eating by myself & next time I will order a bit less. Just managed to pack it all away.
Along with some water & green tea the total was about 73,000 dong = about $5.00

Pros: friendly, fresh, flavour

Our Favourite in Hanoi

We must have bought about 10-12 dishes here when we were in Hanoi in Dec 07 and every one was a winner. Lots of mock meat on the menu, but there are plenty of plain veg options too. The salads are a high point - perfectly flavoured - but the rice and mock meat dishes are also excellent. Heaps of local diners, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely looking forward to going back next time we're in Vietnam. As others have said, it's tucked down a little alley, but just look out for a the little (yellow?) sign on P. Tran Hung Dao.

Pros: Great food, Nice atmosphere
