    Not a vegan restaurant, but a vegetarian restaurant. I do not recommend going for the following reasons. Firstly, I ordered mushroom soup, which was pictured as mushrooms in clear broth, and had no mention of dairy on the menu. Came out full of cream. When we politely complained about this, they would not take it back. As not all in our group was vegan, we said ok - but make sure everything else comes out vegan. Next thing, the 'vegetable bread' comes out covered in melted cheese. We complain again, but have to argue heavily about it because they do not want to take it back and wanted to make us pay for it (we were certainly not going to do so). Other dishes that came out were ok. 'Japanese tofu with tomato based sauce' had no tomato based sauce and was just a few tiny squares of flavorless tofu. Most of what I ate was the two serves of fried rice, which could have been prepared much much cheaper at home. Very disappointed with this place, very bad service and bland, small servings of food, despite being quite expensive. Also, we sat on a platform among a goldfish pond, which sounds nice but there were several old electrical cables from the kitchen hanging in the water. Hugely unsafe. Unbelievably negligent that they would have such a huge and obvious hazard.

    This is a premium restaurant which is totally vegan and vegetarian. Plenty of options with a fish pond entrance. Looks really good at night and has a positive vibe. There are 3 floors and is mostly packed at dinner time. You can enjoy dinner on special occasions like birthdays or a anniversaries as they have special arrangements for that.

    A good choice for vegetarians in Hanoi with variety choices. The foods are very good, good service nice atmosphere. May be too much with the table buffet meals, lets ask for few dishes to take before requesting more food to come

    We were looking forward to eating here, but we turned out to be quite disappointed. The ambiance was nice and with the entrance we were quite excited. However, the food turned out to be different than we expected it to be and also it was not very tasty. Also it was very overpriced. We paid almost 700k for tea, 6 pieced of tofu, 6 “dumplings” and a small bowl of rice. Lastly, the music was the same tune all the time and quite loud. Perhaps the place is more popular amongst the Vietnamese, but we would not recommend going here.

    The restaurant is located in city center of the Hanoi near to Cuba embassy. At the entrance you will be welcome by violinist and way to the dinning area is a paradise with ponds fill with fishes, foggy and idols of lord Buddha. They are three dining areas: outdoor, indoor and first floor with eye catching decorations. The hospitality was good and presentation of the cuisine was excellent. The taste of the food was good but it comes with little high price tags. The restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan food. The restaurant has clean and well managed dinning area and has rest room.

    Would not recommend this place. Overpriced and the meals we got were totally bland and not nice. Pretty sure they got our order wrong as the food looked extremely different to the pictures but we don’t have any Vietnamese so we weren’t able to clarify (our fault).

    Amazing restaurant! The food is great and the menu is extensive, there are a lot of options and everything we ordered was tasty. The restaurant has a really cool atmosphere and aesthetic! Definitely worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Stanley Chia Ding L. 7 months ago on Google • 111 reviews
    Awesome vegetarian food, serves a spread which I've rarely seen anywhere else. The ambience was also amazing and eye opening. It's one of the top 3 vegetarian and vegan place to visit! The taste was great, the presentation better! Must come if you're a vegetarian or vegan!

    Some dishes are tasty, such as the one with sweet corns, mushrooms and cheese. “Truong tho” soup is yuck. I shouldn’t be a must-try in the restaurant. If you book a table in a private room, it’s better compared to the tables on the second floor because it’s quiet enough to enjoy vegetarians. It’s not a good vibe while some kids are laughing and making noise and someone is playing the violin. I would prefer to have an outdoor space.

    The vegetarian buffet is 250k per pax. The food presentation is also pretty neat. Overall, it is a pleasant experience. However, it gets a tad noisy during my visit, which was lunch hour. So I guess it can’t be helped. A violinist was also performing at the entrance of the restaurant. Shall visit again.

  • 5/5 Ngọc R. 1 year ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Great dishes and nice atmosphere. Beautiful smoke like a paradise with violin welcoming. 250k/ buffet/pax served in table. So much food for a person. Couldn't finish 😅 But very nice decorations and delicious food. Must try!

    A place where you can eat a variety of fusion vegetables. The atmosphere is romantic(1FL)

  • 4/5 Hien N. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    1. Taste: 7,75/10 2. Decoration: 9,5/10 3. Price: 250k/person (I dont think it includes 10% VAT). Drinks are extra paymemt. The food is ok, not too special, so it’s suotable for sb who enjoys the original vegan food. The dessert is tasty though. The atmosphere is chill and nice. I went there with my friend, we called two buffet, one mineral water and one tea or st, the total for both of us is 630.000 VND. The atmosphere is nice so I think I’ll be back.

    Beautiful vegetarian restaurant with excellent menu made of vietnamese vegetarian delicacies. Must visit place. Beautiful ambience and natural set up.

  • 1/5 Ramya M. 1 year ago on Google
    Only show. Bad food. No flavours. Very basic flavour. You get better spring rolls outside on the street. They filled the veg rolls with tofu and the skin is not even rice. Didn't feel authentic. Morel pasta was just cream and pasta and topped with mushroom. Couldn't taste wine or anything else. It was just bland cream taste. Mushroom stew also very basic. Didn't taste green pepper or anything. Wouldn't recommend at all.

    The atmosphere was amazing but the food was very disappointing. We got several different dishes that were intended to be savoury and all tasted similarly of artificial sugar or cake batter, was very bland except for a strange sweet cake taste. Would not recommend for food, although many people seemed to be enjoying the hot pots so this might be a different story. We ate it out of politeness but I would have preferred to have not eaten it and the strange cake batter flavour really hung around after eating. Was quite expensive also.

    Nice vegetarian restaurant. Very nice decor. Buffer option, highly recommended. Reasonable pricing.

  • 2/5 Jules T. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience and decor is cool. But the food is very bland, lack of salt and other spices and the staff are not very attentive. There are so many other restaurants with better vegetarian options right around the corner

  • 4/5 Syed Sarfaraj Amed (. 1 year ago on Google
    In Hanoi, where it's nearly impossible to find multiple vegetarian options per menu, this vegan spot is a pleasant surprise. The menu changes slightly each day. I have stayed here several times and the staff are always smiling and very helpful. For a vegan restaurant, the food is delicious and the price is cheap.

  • 5/5 Priya C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning place with great ambience and different floors. I reserved a place in advance for the morning as the evening was too busy. Great vegan options and delicious food! As they just opened when I arrived, service was slightly slower but that was expected. The che was absolutely yummy!

  • 4/5 Somu P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place for vegetarians. Wide variety of dishes and the place is done up nicely. Nestled in the quiet bylanes of Hanoi in an old building very tatefully modified. Water body seating is particularly interesting. I recommend anyone visiting Hanoi looking for local food catering to foreigners to try this place, particularly vegetarians.

  • 5/5 Loi B. 3 years ago on Google
    The best vegetarian restaurant in hanoi. Try the bamboo shoot roll and the hotpot. Those were my fav dish.

  • 3/5 Dương �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The space of the restaurant is quite normal, the second floor is for guests who have not booked a table, a little noisy, the restaurant is dark and has mosquitoes, the food is nothing special. The plus point is that the staff are quite professional. (Original) Không gian quán khá bình thường, tầng 2 dành cho khách chưa đặt bàn hơi ồn ào, quán tối và có muỗi, đồ ăn không có gì đặc biệt. Điểm cộng là nhân viên khá chuyên nghiệp.

    The restaurant is quite quiet and spacious, polite staff, vegetarian dishes with main ingredients from vegetables and fruits are processed with flavors such as cheese and butter, so it's easy to eat, generally okay!
