Metta Vegetarian — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Exceptional veg food, family friendly service and atmosphere 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m not usually a vegetarian but wanted to try out lunch here with a friend. We went for a Tuesday lunch in October. I also have a 20month old with me, a super active toddler who would not sit still.

Upon joining, we were immediately impressed by the calming and picturesque atmosphere of the restaurant. It is very family friendly, and the staff even have the booster seat available for my son to use. There are a lot of spaces inside, not cramped this most viet restaurants, and we could even take our buggy inside and park next to us. My toddler has spaces to run around when he isn’t eating, and the staff was very nice and friendly with him. To top this up, the outside guard was also super helpful and helped to look out for the toddler in case he runs outside.

To top this up, the food were super tasty and among the best I’ve tried for vegetarian food! We had a salad, bun thi la, and bun dau, and a drink each and paid 160k VND each

Thanks again to the whole team at Metta, to my lovely friend for...

The interior of the restaurant is designed in Hoi An style. It's a centrally located restaurant that combines open air charm with air conditioned comfort. If you eat there on a day when the heat isn't too harsh, downstairs will probably be fine. If you need a cooler table, upstairs has some that are right under some AC units.

The food was great. I had some top shelf fried enoki mushrooms, some gelatinous dumplings (that tasted like they had real meat in them) and some tokpoki noodles which were ok. It had broccoli in it which was its saving grace. I'd be way more into that dish if it were mostly broccoli.

I also ordered some fried spring rolls that were way above average! Too often those are just chock full of taro and don't taste like much but these spring rolls were great veggie spring rolls. I drank some beetroot-ginger kombucha that was...

The location just right in the center of D3, near the corner between Tu Xuong and Tran Quoc Thao - easy to access. The walk way to get in a bit narrow, however, the decoration makes everything looks great from the first step. The staff is helpful, friendly, very polite. I went there alone, didn't expect that the portion of every dish was so HUGE, so i ordered 3 dished to try and hardly finish in end 😅. The taste of foods there is perfect, tasty, flavorful and also were displayed very eye - catching. Surprisingly, the price is so reasonable, one of the best choice for high quality food and also nice ambience. One of the highly recommended for those love vegetarian foods and taking selfie. Definitely will back with friends for...
