Found two flies in the pho, Husband ate the pho and said it was delicious but I couldn't get past the flies and didn't eat it.

Pros: Cheap

Simple food in the heart of the Old Quarter

This was one of the main places I went to if I was in Old Quarter, Hanoi. There is a very obvious green sign at the front that leads into a long alleyway that leads to Hem Vegan. The food here is simple and won't win any awards for presentation, but it was nice to have a place in Old Quarter where I could find vegan food. Be sure to have cash.

Good Spot

I found this calming place randomly in a busy area. Banh mi and Nem were so good.

Pros: A place to calm down with good music

Amazing Hotpot

We only got to go there once and try the hotpot, though the menu had a lot to offer I would have liked to try as well. The Thai Hotpot for two had a broth which was delicious in itself - with a lot of lemongrass and ginger - , served with different kinds of mock meat, tofu, mushrooms, beans, corn and leafy greens as well as some noodles. I particularly liked the fried tofu "skin" which would become soft when boiled in the pot as well as thr tofu which was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. By the end we were stuffed and happy. Sometimes if you are lucky there is also a cat in the restaurant.

Loved the Thai spicy hotpot

Hem Vegan is a vegan restaurant located in the Old quarter district, quite close to Hoan Kiem lake.

It's located in a small alley. Once you see the sign in front, keep walking straight until you find the restaurant.

The restaurant was busy and charging 1.5X prices on Lunar New Year eve, but food was good.

Delicious rice paper rolls. Yummy and spicy Thai hotpot, something I especially enjoyed on a chilly winter day.

Worth a visit.

Ok

When we visited most of the food wasn't available but there was an extra 30% charge because of the holidays which is fine but the food that we did get just wasn't filling and was quite bland.
FYI they don't take card payments and they don't know where any ATMs are in the city 🤦🏼‍♀️

Amazing food, good prices

We went back multiple times for their „sandwich“ to take it on trips with us because it even tastes delicious after a couple of hours.

Great food and cute cat

A little hidden away in an alley. The orange was super nice and a cute cat was running around :)
I tried the vegan pho and really liked it. Big portion

Vegan Hot Pot

We had the vegan Hot pot for two.
The food was very good. We also tried the chinese Bun which the owner said the newly tried to create. Very yummy!
Price was very good.

The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is a bit hidden between two buildings.
Would definitely recommend and go there again.

It’s okay

When you enter it, it looks like you’re about to enter a trap 😆 you go through a very narrow, long, dark corredor before you enter the place itself. Once you’re there it’s quite nice.
My husband’s food was good, but mine (miso soup) was very VERY bland (ironically I wonder if they forgot the miso). Also there’s one drink that is not vegan, but it clearly indicates it contains honey so it’s not hidden or trying to trick you.
It is quite cheap though, it just isn’t the restaurant you should bring your non-vegan friends 😅

Pros: Very affordable, Very friendly

Cons: My dish was very bland, One drink is not vegan

The definition of a hidden gem

This food was so good that I created a account just to rate this restaurant with 5 stars. Definitely worth to visit.

It's a really nice hidden away place.

Food was fresh and tasted great. Watch out for one waiter that likes to help you add chilli

Good food, would like a few more options

I ate here and got the banh mi stew - this was delicious and I feel would be an incredible dish to have if your ill! It was comforting food.

They serve Vietnamese local food here which is great! Unfortunately they have less than 10 options for food choices and I do think there should be around 10-20 overall. This would be my only request.

This place is priced great! As a vegan restaurant in the city they can up their prices higher than what you’d usually pay for the same meal in a meat restaurant so I really appreciate that this place didn’t do that! My meal was 70k overall including a bottle of water.

Also this place is down a long alley btw!

Pros: Banh mi stew, Comfort food

Cons: Amount of food and drink choices
