Nhà Hàng Chay Bụt Việt - Nha Trang — Restaurant in Nha Trang City

I was very keen to try this vegetarian restaurant in Nha Trang. I arrived at 11am, which is one hour after opening time and before the lunchtime rush.

I ordered three dishes:

Goi Cuon Ngu Sac - Fresh rice rolls Portion size adequate, 4 medium sized rolls. Fresh ingredients with a tasty peanut sauce. (4 stars)

Mi Tron Tu Xuyen - Sichuan Mixed Noodle Portion size adequate, ingredients - tofu, mushroom, Bok choy, noodles. Taste, tofu and mushrooms had a Sichuan sauce which was tasty, however the remainder of the dish was disappointing. There was a sauce provided to pour over the Bok choy and noodles, but it was very bland. (3 stars)

Goi Su Hao Nam Bao Ngu - Oyster mushrooms and kohlrabi salad. The Kohlrabi Salad was sensational, a plentiful serving of crunchy fresh ingredients with just enough spice without being hot. Unfortunately, the oyster mushrooms were deep fried in a thick batter which was devoid of any flavour and didn't add to the dish. I would recommend that you ask to have the mushrooms sautéed and not deep fried. (3.5 stars although it would have been 5 stars if the mushrooms weren't served in batter.)

Service, unfortunately I did not encounter one person smiling whilst I was there, I interacted with three different staff members during my lunch. (3 stars)

Atmosphere, nothing remarkable but was clean (3 stars)

Pricing was reasonable.

Overall, I would give 3.5 stars (4 stars given in review as half stars not permitted)

I will give this restaurant one more try, however there are better vegetarian / vegan dining options available...

Nestled in the heart of the city, this restaurant offers a delightful escape with its cozy design and authentic vegetarian taste. The interior is warm and inviting, featuring soft lighting, plush seating, and tasteful decor that creates an intimate atmosphere perfect for a vegetarian dining or a casual gathering with friends for some healthy options.

The menu showcases a variety of dishes that are both flavorful and comforting. I started with a refreshing salad and a delicious spinach soup, which was satisfying and set a high standard for the rest of the meal. The main course was a perfectly grilled vegan sausage, coming up with a hotpot of fresh vegetables, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. The dessert was a decadent grass jelly, providing a sweet and refreshing finish.

In addition to the excellent vegetarian food, the restaurant provides attentive service that enhances the overall dining experience. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to assist, ensuring that each guest feels valued and cared for.

Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem, offering a reasonable price for a meal that is both delicious and memorable. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty dinner or a light lunch, this cozy spot is sure to satisfy your...

Our first time at this restaurant was amazing, so we decided to come back, but this time we were very disappointed.

We ordered the most expensive set menu, as we were excited about trying out the sea grapes salad. The menu seemed vegan except for the yogurt, so we asked for it to be replaced with sliced fruit and made it very clear we wanted everything VEGAN. The staff appeared to understand.

Then the food arrived. The Summer Rolls were fine, but the Sea Grapes salad came covered in mayonnaise, and the Pad Thai had egg, with mayonnaise sauce. We reminded them that we requested vegan, and they replaced the dishes. Well... At least they made an effort to fix it, and the Pad Thai tasted great, which is why I didn’t give this place 1 star.

But the "Hotpot of Happiness" ruined it. We're not sure if the noodles and crackers (tasted and looked like fried egg) were vegan or not, so we didn’t eat them. And, once again, the hotpot came with mayonnaise sauce!

That being said, if you're vegan or have allergies to eggs or dairy, be very careful here. Double-check everything. To the restaurant: please be clear about ingredients on the menu and train your staff to understand dietary requests. Other reviews mention similar confusion, so this seems like an...
