Ưu Đàm Chay

One of the best restaurants in Hanoi!😍 The dishes were tasty and beautifully displayed. Service was kind, attentive and professional. Also the atmosphere was very harmonious. I’m wondering how they don’t have a Michelin star yet, as this was, in my honest opinion, even better than Tầm vị. Only thing I was missing during dinner was good wine, but their fresh passion mojito compensated very well. 😊

Absolute must try! The staff is amazing and kind and tends to every need. The gingseng soup and the curry with potatoes was marvellously presented and the taste was out of this world. Surely one of the fanciest restaurants, but with ca. 18 € for two beverages and dishes very affordable. If ever you are in Hanoi, visit this absolute gem!

The service was amazing, we were sick from previous food we ate and while we were eating in the restaurant we felt so bad we had to leave. the waitress was very kind and packed all of our food to go very fast. Everything we tasted was amazing. The food was innovated well balanced cooked to perfection and beautiful. Our favorite dishes were the rice with truffle and the curry lotus. We will definitely come back and taste other dishes.

We went with my husband to have dinner for my birthday, and unfortunately we had mixed feelings about the experience. We ordered two starters and two mains, but the dishes arrived in a very unusual order: first one main, then a starter, then another starter, and finally the remaining main. This felt strange, as we expected the courses to be served in a proper sequence to enjoy the tasting experience. The food itself was good, but the overall atmosphere felt a bit uncomfortable. The person attending us behaved in a rather odd way, which made us feel uneasy during the dinner. As it was my birthday, my husband kindly asked the staff if they had a birthday candle. They literally brought us just a candle and a lighter, without any dessert or small gesture. We would have been more than happy to pay for a small cake or cookie, as is common in many restaurants, but nothing was offered. Considering this restaurant is Michelin recommended, the overall experience felt underwhelming. The food was good but not outstanding, and the service was quite strange. There are other places with better service and a more enjoyable dining experience.

The food and drinks were beautiful! The vibe and service were great. I would definitely like to come back next time and probably introduce my friends to this place for healthier options. However, most of the dishes I ordered today contained coconut cream or coconut milk. It would be nice to have some options that taste lighter and more delicate. Overall, 9.5/10

This place has a nice ambience: cozy, welcoming, and beautifully decorated with a lot of attention to detail. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a good meal. The staff speak good English, which made everything smooth and pleasant. As for the food, everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. You can really taste the effort that goes into each dish. Personally, I think the pineapple fried rice is a must-try. It’s not my first time having pineapple fried rice, but this one stood out - the rice had those slightly crispy bits, it added such a nice texture, so good.👍 Overall, it was a lovely dining experience. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place with great vibes and delicious vegan/vegetarian food!

Food is mind-blowing, as a non vegetarian I was amazed how delicious it was. Amazingly beautiful place, interior is just stunning. One think for improvement is a level of the English language of the waiters.

Not Worth the Price The entrance wasn’t like a typical restaurant – it felt more like stepping into an old palace. The food presentation was beautiful, but unfortunately, the taste didn’t match the look. We ordered cheese rice sushi, pineapple rice, pine soup, banana hot pot soup with laksa, rice crackers with corn, lychee longan tea, and mango passion fruit juice. Honestly, it was just okay and not particularly impressive. The prices were quite high for the small portion sizes. We even requested for the dishes to be made spicy since we enjoy spicy food, but everything turned out bland. Given that it’s a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant, we came with high expectations — especially since our hotel manager recommended it — but it turned out to be underwhelming.
