Lots of options - Edit
Their buffet is huge an you pay by plate. I had a bug plate of food and one spring roll. I just went for tofu and veggies and avoided the mock meat things. The egg was a surprise with carrot filling and tofu wrap. The roll was ok. They put a kind of herb that smells fishy so I didn't like it. I paid 50k in total. A bit higher than other places but don't know if I was overcharged or not.

Cheap, but nothing special - Edit
At this restaurant there is a very local atmosphere. Sometimes it's very loud and busy. So if you're are looking for a chilled place to chat with friends while eating, I can't recommend this place.
Read moreThere's no menu. You just ask for a plate of rice when you enter the restaurant and then you can pick some mok meat and salad from the buffet. As you already can the on the pictures, there variation is not really wide. The taste is nothing special. I got a small cup of soup beside my plate of rice.
I paid 40k (no drink). It seems that sometimes the charge you more depending on time, your look or whatever.
After all, the food wasn't the best, but it was cheap and okay. At least I didn't get any stomach problems, so I can recommend it against a small hunger. But don't expect to much.

Don't go there, total rip off - Edit
We went there and had a noudle soup and a plate of rice with a few different things and they charged us 100'000. I am happy to pay more than locals, however it is a very basic local place and it cost more than some fancy beach restaurants. And the food wasn't even great, pretty greasy and unhealthy fake meats.
Read morePros: Can't recommend that place at all.
Cons: Rip off for tourists, Greasy fake meat options, Noodle soup was very sweet

Great idea - Edit
Very small but always busy with locals (which is a great sign). Set price for buffet with either rice or noodles. Personally didn't like some of the mock meat but other people loved it. Nice to have variety.

Good Variety of Mock Meats - Edit
The food was filling and cheap. For 40k we each left unable to eat another bite, and were given soup alongside our plates of food. There was a wide variety of mock meats to choose from; fake chicken, fake beef, fake bacon, something wrapped in nori which tasted fishy (and more!). The food was cold but that's what we've come to expect when visiting buffets. Everything seemed clean. For me, the food was a little bit too greasy and heavy, but my boyfriend loved it so I think that's just down to taste.

Tons of mock meat! - Edit
Buffet style restaurant with a ton of mock meat options. The options change each time and you are charged by the amount of food you get. Been there twice and each time was a different price. Would recommend for mock meat lovers and those looking for a filling meal. Flavor is ok, not the best, but at this price it’s hard to complain.

Tasty but salty - Edit
Headed there immediately after hotel check-in - about 3PM, when the other two vege eateries nearby were closed, so I felt thankful to get a meal. Had not read reviews beforehand (too hungry to read!), so I had no preconceptions on arrival.
Read moreIt was not busy at that time, and I didn't see anyone running the shop. Finally a guy working on a laptop, who I thought was a customer, came over. I did not interpret any rudeness in the service - merely lackadaisical. Just seemed like the laid-back style of a beach town. After I pointed to the buffet, he handed me a plate of rice. After I filled my plate (skipped the mock meats), I asked the price and he replied 50K and I paid. Self-serve buffets without fixed price, where the calculation of the price is known only to the cashier, are not uncommon. In Taiwan, prices are commonly calculated by weight, but the price per weight is usually not apparent (unless close attention is paid to the scales). In addition places that don't weigh, but just visually inspect, are not uncommon. Not surprisingly, such places often lack consistency. Personally, I only expect price to be reasonable - and less than US$2.50 for a full plate plus summer roll, during off-hours, easily met that criteria.
Everything was tasty but, other than the summer roll and plain rice, everything was much too salty for me. Fortunately, the other two eateries nearby don't have that problem.

Double price for tourist - Edit
We went here because of the score, but its true at least double price for tourist. The food was cold and super salty. The place is dirty. There is no normal bathroom. When we entered the staff said 60K per plate, later they wanted to charge us 70K per plate. I have seen that when local guy paid 30K .... Do not go there!!

Nice little eatery - Edit
Really tasty buffet although with all the mock meats probably not the healthiest! Had no issues with price like others that have reviewed. Guess it’[censored] and miss. Maybe worth asking at the outset?

Such a cool experience! - Edit
Four of us went here for dinner yesterday and it was such a cool experience. The venue is really rough and ready with cramped seating, and is full locals. I hadn’t read many reviews beforehand so it was confusing, eventually the girl who seemed to be in charge explained we get a plate of rice each and we add various foods to this from the buffet. You can also get a bowl of noodle soup instead but we didn’t try this. The staff are very matter of fact and busy, but not rude.
Read moreOn the buffet there were green beans and lots of other cooked veggies, sauces, lemongrass tofu, some kind of mock chicken (delicious), a dried sweet potato thing which was so strange and tasty! I would say it’s probably not the healthiest vegan option with the mock meats etc but you could make it healthier by leaving these off your plate. They probably use some MSG in some of the sauce as it had that kind of taste.
Another upside is the price - they charged us 150k dong total for four people. I am aware this is probably still a tourist price but honestly, we were all stuffed, so why complain? So so cheap.
The place is packed with locals who sit down and eat very quickly and then leave. I saw some people arrive and leave within five minutes! It’s a really interesting atmosphere and such a nice break from eating in places that are only full of other tourists. Just be aware that is definitely not a place to linger if you want to sit down for a while. They kind of want you out as soon as you have finish eating.
Overall I would really recommend going, we kept talking about how amazing the experience was! And so nice to see a vegan place in such a meat-orientated country, they even had info charts up on the wall about veganism (in Vietnamese of course!)
Pros: Everything vegan (at least when I visited) , Tasty food , Cheap
Cons: Small and cramped with plastic chairs , Very noisy, Confusing when you first arrive

Tasty little buffet style place - Edit
At first it was a little jarring cuz it looks like a hole in the wall. But the food was really tasty. Lots of mock meats. We didn’t know how the place worked. We walked up to a guy and he gave us each a plate with rice and then we would choose our sides. I had a full plate and my brother had two full plates. At the end the guy said 100.000 for the both of us.

My most favorite Vegetarian restaurant in Phu Quoc - Edit
They have all kinds that you may expect for! Their lunch buffet (you should arrive around 10:30 - 12:30 when the buffet is full and it's the time Vietnamese having lunch!) is awesome! So many choices and you pay around 30,000vnd!
Read moreThey also have all kinds of noodles soup which I love so much! Ah, vegetarian fresh spring rolls - OMG I can't wait to be back in town and eat there again!
Their pricing accommodates all kinds of budget!
I am not sure about their restroom, which is also important!
Pros: All kinds of vegetarian food, healthy and friendly, Funny chats between members of the owner's family, Price accommodates all kinds of budget
Cons: The place is a bit noisy!, Very few chairs so you may need to rush..., They don't speak so much English

Overpriced - Edit
The food was good but when it came to paying they charged us 70,000 a plate. We later found out this is way over the price the locals pay. Doesn’t seem right so we will not be returning and would not recommend this place.

Favourite banh mi in town - Edit
as with everywhere we tried to visit in Duong Dong the opening times are subject to interpretation, therefore they may not be open despite signs saying they are open! that said, Khanh Ly was worth the wait and was indeed open on our 3rd visit. staff were friendly and a customer even helped us with translation. the buffet was the best we saw in town and the banh mi was very good, we would come back for sure.

Rip-off - Edit
Went there as the reviews (mostly) sounded pretty good.
Read moreDidn‘t even get to eat there as the staff were pretty rude and seemingly made fun of us when we wanted to order. They told aus one plate would be 60dong which is ridiculous for a Buffett style vegan restaurant like this (usually 20-40).
So we left...

lots ok mock meat/fish - Edit
Standard buffet style restaurant except its a serve yourself. You get a price after you've filled your plate, we paid 40,000 for one and 30,000 for the other which is reasonable. There are lots of mock meats available but only a couple of purely vegetable dishes. Lots of mock fish which i personally am not a fan of! The food we had tasted good and the kitchen and restaurant were clean. Staff are friendly!
Read morePros: all vegan!, cheap
Cons: lacks vegetable dishes!

decent food, dishonest owner - Edit
They serve either rice with mock meat or noodle soup. Both taste very well.
Read moreAfter I've had the noodle soup sometimes and being charged honest 20k, I tried the buffet today. What seems to be the owner then charged me 70k- which is absolutely overpriced. When asking why locals just pay 30k they laughed at me.

Tasty and cheap buffet - Edit
Full of locals, which is always a good sign. We got the rice and served ourselves from the buffet, have no idea what the meals were but they were so delicious even my meat eating boyfriend loved it!
Read moreThey do not have a set price, and very obvious they charged tourists more but we were not worried, 80k for two large meals is very cheap!
Dont go here if you dont like tofu or mockmeats.
