Gorgeous vegetarian restaurant. We tried coming a few times but it was closed (probably because of the lunar new year). On our final night in Hanoi, it was finally open! The restaurant has several floors and they’re all quite pretty. We ordered the durian spring roll, the pecan soup (which is really more of a taro soup with some pecan garnish), and a uu dam hot pot. We had tried to order fried lotus root and the chestnut soup, but neither was available. The durian spring roll wasn’t very good to us. We know durian is supposed to smell awful but they didn’t have much of a scent. The taste was just a bit off putting to us. We aren’t normal durian eaters though and wanted to try it... we figured a fried form would be a good bet. Maybe it would be tasty to durian lovers? In any case, we wouldn’t recommend as an intro to durian dish. The pecan soup was very tasty. Would definitely recommend. The hot pot was great. The proportion of hot pot ingredients was heavily weighted towards lemongrass, but the other goodies were good and the broth was delicious. I also got a coconut with rice drink and my partner got a rice tea. I really enjoyed my coconut drink. All in, the meal cost us about $32usd. Probably on the pricey end for eating out in Vietnam, but pretty darn cheap considering how much food we got!

Allium-free vegetarians beware. While there are options that are allium-free, most of the dishes are not, or perhaps the staff just didn't want to prepare an allium-free versions of certain items ( like are you seriously telling me you can't NOT include onions for fried rice, I simply don't believe, yet the staff told me all mains have onions). The manager very accomodatingly served up two of our mis-ordered dishes to other tables as I had only remember to check for alliums 10mins after ordering our food. For the food that we ordered, no mock meat were used, all natural ingredients, not oily at all. However the mango stick rice we ordered came with semi hard sticky rice and not enough coconut sauce. The waiter even asked me to order more the dish again instead of just giving us a little more sauce. Just a very disappointing experience. Would recommend going for the private single table area for more ambience as the other multi-table areas are very echoey and noisy.

Well well well.. This is one of the finest Restaurant I have ever been to I'm a vegetarian and was glad to see this vegetarian restaurant for lunch after a long walk and sight seeing. The happiness transformed into pure joy on seeing the menu and tasting their food. The menu is quite elaborate with vegetarian food options that were so unique. Being an Indian I was so pleasantly surprised to see these many veg options outside of India. The food we felt was just the right quantity for two of us. And it was definitely of top notch quality. It might get a bit on the expensive side but it is worth the price. Service was great. Ambience was overall very calming. In our stay of two days at Hanoi we visited this restaurant twice. Looking forward to visiting it again whenever we are in Hanoi next time. Hope to see this restaurant in India sometime. 😊

NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO COME HERE Delicious food but bad service. Waiters must be more well trained. We order: mushroom sour soup, tofu in tomato sauce, fruit salad and rice in lotus leaf The problem is now: they bring tofu-main course first, then salad. While we are eating salad, they bring soup. After asking waiters so many time, they finally bring rice in lotus leaf. I hope it to be a steamed rice, it turned out to be stir fried rice, which is not suitable to be accompanied with soup. But the waitress did not advise us about that. So, we need to order a steamed rice, and that is good. The atmosphere is horrible. Plenty of people talking and talking, just like a market. No one can see the solene music and can enjoy the quietness of this ambience, decorated with buddha statues and so on. TOO LOUDLY No, i am not enjoying my lunch. Not at all

We ate dinner here twice during our weeks stay in Hanoi and on both occasions the food was really tasty. We didn’t make a booking however were asked on both occasions if we had made one which seemed strange as the restaurant wasn’t booked out at either times. There is seating upstairs which we preferred to the downstairs. The food comes out very quickly however the drinks on both occasions came out either halfway or towards the end of the meal. The price is mid range for Hanoi and the size of the dishes are quite small comparing to other restaurants close by. I’d rate this a 3.5 for the small servings and slow drink delivery on both occasions but rounding up to 4 stars because overall would recommend for the flavours and that it’s purely vegan and the menu and food is quite beautifully represented and tasty.

Uu Dam Chay is one of my favorite restaurants in Hanoi, for so many reasons. The decor and atmosphere is gorgeous and serene. The food is delicious and often creative. Hot pot is sufficient for two people, but I recommend sharing as many dishes as you can handle. Soup portions are individual, while 3-5 main regular dishes will feed four people easily. I also bring visitors and clients here regularly for dinner meetings because the vibe is so warm. Our company through a party on the top deck about a year ago, and the staff was very accommodating. Even for non vegetarians, it’s worth trying for its simple yet thoughtfully prepared dishes. If your visiting Hanoi, Uu Dam Chay is a lovely contrast from all the delicious street food you’ll be trying.
