    Came before 6:30pm on a Friday and got seated immediately. By 7:00pm there was quite the line! They have both indoor and outdoor seating 👍🏼 And you walk inside to pay. Food is very yummy, and fair priced. Great option for vegetarians and vegans! Tip: ask for more fish sauce to spread over the big portion of rice noodles!! Once things got really busy, the service got a lot slower but all in all, great staff ~ very nice. Definitely would recommend if you haven’t been already 😊

    The food here is basically VEGAN and absolutely delicious! There's some weird thing about fish sauce, but other than that as far as I can tell it was vegan. It's almost like you need to special order the fish sauce (who would do that? 😉). The papaya salad in this picture was fantastic -- quite authentically Vietnamese tasting. The atmosphere was a bit crazy, cozy and chaotic on a Friday night, but definitely worth it. There was some "imitation chicken" in the soup which honestly was too "authentic" tasting for my wife to handle... I also had my doubts for a moment about whether it was actually vegan. But I trusted them and it didn't have the texture of actual chicken. I plan to return!

    We came here as a recommendation from a friend. I have to say the restaurant was full, which on the positive side, it seems (mostly young under 30s) love to come and dine here; on the negative side, it meant we couldn’t have a conversation without having to speaking loudly. I must also add the staff were really nice and portions were generous. We were welcomed with a complimentary cup of house-mixed tea, which was really nice. My partner had the no.13 (BUN CHA GIO CHAY) and I had the no.12 (COM BI CHA – THE LOADED PLATE). This review is therefore mostly about the no. 12. It was generally very very very dry. The kimchi and the seitan skewer were really nice, but everything else was extremely dry. It for sure would be much nicer with more of the Vietnamese green sauce. About the no. 13, I got to try the spring rolls from my partner’s plate (main actor in the dish) and it was also really really dry and a bit bland… shame though, as it is nice to have a vegetarian/vegan place to go to! I am looking forward to trying different dishes that can hopefully change my mind. P.S: the house tea was delicious! 🫖

    Really cute restaurant, with outside seating and very sweet staff. The portions are very big and have unique vegan/vegetarian dishes. I only wished they had more healthy options with less oil.

    Fantastic dishes (although definitively on the salty side), beautiful restaurant... 4 stars instead of 5 solely because they still serve fish sauce, while everything else is ENTIRELY vegan. It weirds me out and leaves a bad taste (literally, bc last time they mixed up our order and we did have the dish smothered in fish sauce). I say this with love: Please ditch it, you would be so much more creative, progressive, environmentally-minded and compassionate. In case you have not seen it, please do watch the acclaimed documentary Seaspiracy, and you will easily see the reason why none of us should (ab)use fish anymore. Thank you guys, much love!

    Second time visiting. Service is swift& friendly. First they offer you always some house tea. I loved all the different Vegetarian option especially the things with mushroom. Portion are Bug. Bun bi cha Chay with fresh Mint is great. Com bi cha is awesome loaded plate if you like fried stuff. The Pho was a bit too sweet and not as steaming hot as liked.

    Only vegan food! We didn’t know it’s a vegan Vietnamese restaurant until coming but were surprised with options and taste of the food. It was very delicious and plates were big. Very nice place, can be busy but we were set inside without problems. Recommend and will come again.

    Unfriendly staff, they don’t inform you that you will have to wait 1 hour before the starter comes. When you ask them “how long do they estimate that it might take the food to prepare?” Their answer is “it will come, when it will come”… It is not worth the visit for the price and quality of service.

    The food was absolutely delicious! Flavorful, healthy, and filling. All sauces have a vegan option as well, so you can go without fish sauce. Very friendly staff. The queue was long, but worth the wait, and we helped ourselves to some drinks in the meantime.

    Yum Yum yum! But popular place so you maaayyy have some waiting time, we were lucky. And soo lucky we were because the food is simply divine. I’m not vegan but I can appreciate a perfectly created vegan dish. Need to come back again.

    Very nice 99% vegan restaurant (the 99% is 100% if you choose the vegan sauce instead of the fish sauce). Nice service and atmosphere. Will come back.

    First things first: vegetarian or vegan dishes only!! Second: the menu is relatively restricted, possibly 15 dishes, more or less. Service was swift and portions generous and yet ... neither of us feel we need to go back, there was just something missing. The dishes were fairly bland and as the restaurant was jumping, the noise level prevented you from having a conversation without shouting. We did say we were probably the oldest patrons there. We ended up across the street for drinks and a chat.

    Really tasty and fresh vietnamese salad (bun cha gio). Vegan version without fish sauce. Nice vibes, friendly staff. Not family friendly: no high-chairs or changing table.

  • 2/5 Egemen E. 1 year ago on Google
    - there were three pieces of a sharp wood-like inedible object in my food. - the wait time to order and to get your food after you order is way too long. - the banh mi is average. - the rice bowl was tasty.

    Amazing & delicious food! Can’t decide which dish is my favorite - they’re all very tasty! Awesome staff and chill ambiance. Will be back for sure! :)

    Some of the best food I've ever tasted. I loved the vegan pho.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    Super delicious Banh Mi sandwiches! All staff was super nice, and all dishes on the menu can be ordered vegan! Will definitely come here again :)

    I dont even like vegan food and it still made it into my top 3 restaurants in Zurich. I never had a better sticky rice in my life and the Team is wholesome. An Chay is the real deal.

    Instantly became one of my favorite spots! The food is absolutely fantastic and the employees are super nice and friendly.
