The tables had a glass top with a Vietnamese village underneath to put you in the mood for your meal. The choice was varied and we chose the sharing starter platter to try different items and then had a main each.
Each of the mains were delightful in their own way and was a wonderful experience and all Vegan
Excellent, flavorful vegan food - vegetarians and meat-eaters in our group were delighted with the food here. Their ambience is nice too, simple with cultural elements in the decor. We dined here for lunch almost a month ago, so don’t remember the exact names of the dishes. But the vegan Pho had incredible flavorful broth, well cooked noodles and tons of fresh veggies. The caramelised banana tofu was 💯💯💯 - highly recommend it. The betel leaf rolls were amazing and I can only hope to find another restaurant that makes them (and hopefully master them myself) - probably one of my favorite dishes ever.
Don’t recollect the name of the dessert, and while at first bite it felt strange, the taste quickly grew on me, and the ginger with tofu was pleasant.

I had a really lovely vegan Vietnamese meal here!
The restaurant is quite small, so naturally it has quite an intimate vibe. You sit quite close to one another. The furnishings were pleasant and homely, and they cleaned all the tables and things right away.
I thought the quality of my food was very nice. It was very refreshing and nicely seasoned and well made. My Vietnamese friend (who took me here) was a bit less impressed. She said that some of the ingredients had been frozen or were dried and rehydrated. But she pointed out that virtually all Vietnamese restaurants have to do this to some extent because getting things like fresh lemongrass in the UK is very hard. But our waitress said that my friend has beautiful hair, so it balances out 😏.
I've dined here on two occasions and both times were amazing. The food is so yummy, my partner and I reminisce about it often. Our most recent visit, a Sunday evening early September, we had the summer rolls, presidential bun cha and the clay pot mock meat with kohlrabi. Dipping sauce for the summer rolls was so flavourful, the bun cha had so many elements to it - sweet, salty, tangy, crunchy, sour - and the clay pot dish was so delicious over steamed sticky rice.
To cap it all off we had the deep fried ice cream - incredible!
That’s how you make proper vegan food and not some celeriac “schnitzel” with mustard “mayo” or cauliflower tacos. The restaurant really reminds me of the eateries in Buddhist temples in my hometown.
Crispy pancake looks like an omelette from the picture, but it is a savory shell that covers lovely stir fried bean sprouts and mushrooms and tofu.
Ha Long fried cake actually tastes like fish and it’s amazing. Makes me so nostalgic.
Had the vegan pho for the first time. The broth is unbelievable— more flavorful than many other allegedly beef bone ones. Lots of warm spices. Light and slightly sweet. And I’ve never seen so many green vegetables in a restaurant dish other than salad or Chinese veggie stir-fries. It’s also the first time for my vegan friend to try pho, and she likes it ^^
The clay pot also tastes nice. The options are all probably soy sauce flavored, so choose your favorite ingredients.
As a meat eater, I recommend this place.
Amazing food! Had the green papaya salad which was so refreshing and tasty as well as the tofu and mushroom sizzling (with rice) which was very flavourful. Friendly service from the staff even though it was really busy. We finished with the coconut yoghurt and violet rice dessert which was a perfect blend of sweet, tangy and coconutty. All the food looked stunning presented on the beautiful sculptures inside the tables. Can’t wait to come again!
I’m not vegan and I was doubtful but this place blew me away! I will be returning. Special pho was generous in portion size and the best I’ve ever eaten. Rice paper rolls were divine!! Staff were so friendly.
My family is visiting from out of town, and my mom is vegan. Everything here is vegan - I think they did a good job with having a depth of flavour for their soups, specifically the Bun Hue and the Bun Rieu. I would say the pho is off as you cannot taste the star anise and flavors that you would in a regular broth. My mom had the presidents vermicelli, brother in law had the fried rice, and my dad had the cha la lot. We also ordered the salad rolls, spring rolls, and the fish cakes.
We enjoyed almost everything. I wouldn't say it's your typical vietnamese food, but the vietnamese flavors are there. I haven't decided whether or not this would be a go to place if I was craving vietnamese food or not. However, I'd suggest trying it out, and for a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, it's quite good.
Very nice vegan Vietnamese restaurant with a range of tasty chay dishes.
I tried the summer rolls and the Bún Huế. Both were very nice. The Bún Huế was a big portion (I couldn’t finish it) and had a nice spicy depth to it.
Also ordered iced Vietnamese coffee which was lovely.
The staff were all very helpful and warm.
I would happily come back here and try more of the food!
Cảm ơn!
