Da Nang has plenty of vegetarian restaurants, but this is one you mustn't miss. Of the more than twenty vegetarian/vegan places I've eaten at in Saigon and Da Nang, this wonderful spot stands out to me the most. You won't find "Vietnamese pizza" or any other westernized dishes here. Every dish on the menu is vegan and authentically Vietnamese. You'll encounter flavors here unlike any you've ever experienced. I only had the chance to eat here three times, but what I ate has made me fall in love with Vietnamese cooking—and surpassed anything I ate during an entire month spent in Saigon.
Ideally, come with a Vietnamese friend who'll show you the correct way to eat some of the more exotic dishes. If not, I'd recommend just getting some rice accompanied by the layered tofu, since that's straight-forward yet packs amazing textures and flavors. I'd say it was the best tofu dish I've eaten in years.
If possible, avoid coming here on the day of the full or new moon, since it'll be super crowded with local non-vegetarian Buddhists who observe vegetarian diets twice a month. Other days it's not busy, especially mid-mornings or late afternoons, and if you're lucky you'll get a chance to chat with the owner who speaks good English and is totally devoted to bringing her customers the finest vegan Vietnamese food. A big multi-course meal will set you...

Read moreDefinitely not my fav vegan restaurant in Danang. I’ve visited just a few times, but I’ve never actually liked the food or the service there. It’s a bit overpriced for what you get, in my opinion. There are no souses or spices on the tables like it usually is in other Vietnamese places. They could at least have a soy sauce on the table and some chili to spice up their plane and dry food. Ones I ordered curry, it was plain and watery. Another try was a noodle soup with tomatoes. There was literally just one piece of tomato and a piece of tofu miserably floating on the surface. Last time I ordered stir fry mi xao with mushrooms and veggies. The price for a small potion is 45k, but for this money I didn’t expect it to be THAT small! And also, I think they messed up my order and brought me different type of noodles, which were obviously dry. Also I tried Bibimbap and it was the best ting I’ve had there so far. But again, nothing mind blowing. But interior is nice and they play nice soft...
