Quán chay Sala — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

I liked the food a lot. I was bewildered when I first tried to enter the restaurant, a crew member stoped me and did not want to let me inside even though I mentioned I was interested in vegan food and no I do not hope to find any meat in menu. After I finally managed to get inside nobody showed be an available table. Instead i was given a menu and who knows may be I'd had to order food right at the entrance standing on my feet if I had not asked for a permission to take a seat first.

It felt like i had to pass the gatekeeper and prove I can get inside and this is not a warmly welcome experience at all.

Nhân viên phục vụ: bình thường Lời khuyên từ Ngọc Maggie khi bạn sắp đến quán chay Sala: Có một xe đẩy trước quán để bán bánh mì, bạn có thể ghé qua mua khi chưa kịp chuẩn bị bữa sáng. Không gian quán hơi chật xíu. Bạn có thể đặt món thông qua các ứng dụng giao đồ ăn hiện nay.

Chúc bạn ăn chay ngon miệng và mọi điều tốt lành!

[English below] A few comments about Sala Vegetarian Restaurant Location and space: 71c Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Right at the intersection between Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and Cach Mang Thang 8 streets.

The space of the shop follows gentle and Zen tones. Suitable for individual meals, accompanied by lovers, family or acquaintances.

Food and drink: I ordered one pho, one Quang noodle, two bottles of ginseng juice and a dish of steamed abalone mushrooms with lemongrass. If you come to this restaurant, you should try Quang noodles, strange and delicious, steamed abalone mushrooms with lemongrass taste very sweet.

Price: Total bill is about 200k

Service staff: normal Advice from Ngoc Maggie when you are going to Sala vegetarian restaurant: There is a trolley in front of the shop to sell bread, you can stop by to buy it if you haven't prepared your breakfast yet. The space is a bit cramped. You can order food through today's food delivery apps.

Wishing you a delicious vegetarian diet and...

Old review below. New review: if you want customer service DO NOT go at lunchtime. The restaurant is FULL of grab/gojek/goviet delivery drivers waiting for online orders. You will be ignored until you shout to at least 3 staff members (the first two look at you and ignore you). Eventually when you get served you still wait half an hour for your meal, which is clearly a rushed job, served with sloppy presentation. Fortunately the flavours are still good.
