Tiem Chay Dinh Y - Ho Chi Minh city

I’d honestly like to give 0 stars. Despite being called a vegan restaurant many things on the menu say egg eg egg noodle, egg rolls. The order was wrong. I ordered French fries (half of which were inedible) and the waiter said in Vietnamese “fried egg roll”. My Vietnamese friend checked this and said clearly it should be French fries. So they brought both which we were charged for. The sweet and sour vegetables should have been on the menu as “random vegetables in the hottest sauce you’ve ever tasted”. I sweated buckets just eating it. The (unordered) egg rolls went uneaten as I could not trust them to be vegan. Service was shocking too with the waiter totally uninterested. Hardly a surprise it was virtually deserted at prime time on a Saturday night. Updated from previous review on 2023-02-11

The menu states vegan on it, but they have served me side dishes of fish sauce with my meal. They have great noodle soups and vegan spring rolls. I don 't really enjoy their fake meats but the vegetables are fresh and the stocks are tasty. The staff is also friendly and helpful.

Fair range of options in the menu. Savory without being extraordinary. They have different breakfast specials (35k Dong) for each day of the week, but you have to be there before 9am. Staff speaks very little English but they are happy to help, plus the menu is bilingual. Expect to pay 60-100k Dong for two, but you might choose also the cheap dishes and be ok paying around 50-60k D.

Great soups. Went here twice. Veggies are very fresh. Large menu with English translations, but it's not a place made for tourists lots of locals. Buddhist monks can be seen, always a good sign. Very reasonable prices.

Went here for lunch with some non vegetarians who had heard about this place. I am not into fake meats so I was content with getting a vegetable and noodle dish which turned out to be quite delicious! The other two diners got veg with rice, fried spring rolls, and fried rice with some kind of imitation meat and crab it looked like. Decent prices (30-40k for a good serving). Also nice to get slightly off the beaten track and eat at what seemed to be a very popular lunch spot for the locals. I recommend!
