Vị Quê Kitchen

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! Curiosity is a wonderful thing, and the Hue Figs salad is an excellent example of that. Warm, layered with roasted peanuts, fresh herbs and crisp sesame rice paper contrasted the fresh figs, which carried a faintly tannic, astringent note that proved divisive. Novel and unique, yes, and worth the experience even if it wasn't a hit. More familiar pleasures came with the tartare, featuring shiitake stems being transformed into a cream sauce that was lighter and subtler than Western cream traditions - faintly sweet and earthy, more whisper than a shout. I appreciated the gentler taste, pairing nicely with the crisp-skinned, tender baby potatoes and crunchy asparagus. Underneath, a minced legume "tartare" offered heartiness, along with a nuttiness that veered towards veggie burger territory. The standout was the braised tofu, cloaked in a nori sheet that brought a briny, aromatic hit before being glazed in a lemongrass-ginger slurry. The thin cornstarch batter softened on its exterior, soaking up enough sauce to render each bite mouth-wateringly savory, salty, and fragrant.

Having travelled to 35 countries as a vegan, this is easily my favourite restaurant, and was the main reason I stayed in Ho Chi Minh for two nights en route to Da Nang. I came here straight after arriving and had the most delicious bánh mì, as well as fried tofu with coriander sauce and an iced chocolate (the best I've ever tasted). The following day I returned and had a spring roll noodle dish, which was also delicious, as well as another iced chocolate (and one to go to have the next morning before leaving HCM). The ambience of the restaurant is perfect; the staff incredibly lovely (including their adorable security guard at the front door), and the flavours of the food with an abundance of fresh herbs are a foodie's delight. I first visited this restaurant in 2022 and have been dreaming of coming back ever since. It lived up to my memory of it and was definitely worth stopping in HCM to eat here again. Thank you for your amazing food. ❤️🙏🌱

Overall, our experience at Vị Quê Kitchen is mostly positive. We tried Bún Huế and Bún Vị Quê. The latter one had a strong fish sauce taste so if you happen to dislike it, like me, do not go for it. Bún Huế, on the other hand, had a less intense broth and I preferred it. Never in my life I ate such a substantial amount of various type of mushrooms in a single meal - so this was quite a new experience for me. They were of good quality and we finished whole bowls. My only dissatisfaction is that it had very little protein. I wish it included more, such as additional tofu. Despite the high-quality ingredients, the dishes didn't impress us and were pretty average to us. The staff was polite and the atmosphere was flawless - very quiet and easy to talk. The dishes were served quickly, within 10 minutes. The decor in the restaurant is extremely beautiful and pleasant to look at. This restaurant would mostly suit vegan customers. Bear in mind the prices are quite high (relative to the dishes' contents) and there's a 10% service charge added to the bill. Our bill amounted to about 220k VND

Located in a quiet street right in downtown, small but good ambiance, nice decor, clean and quick service. Just the square spring rolls were tough even they're still warm, i think they use wrong type of rice paper for that dish, also spring rolls were full stuffed with good quality of mushrooms but they don't match so they all spilled out when you bite. Otherwise everything is good, friendly and helpful staffs.... Decent price.

Vị Quê Kitchen is an absolutely amazing restaurant that I truly enjoyed! ❤️ The atmosphere is classy yet cozy, beautifully designed with a strong sense of branding, and the soft jazz music in the background creates the perfect relaxing vibe. A big compliment goes to the wonderfully crafted menu! Every dish comes with a picture, so you know exactly what you’re ordering, along with thoughtful descriptions of the flavors and ingredients. The service is just as impressive. The staff are highly professional, polite, attentive, and elegant in every move. And the food… wow! Every bite was an experience. I’ve never had such unique and creative dishes anywhere else in Vietnam. Everything was fresh, delicious, and absolutely memorable 👏🏻 I loved it here and would 100% recommend Vị Quê Kitchen to anyone looking for a dining experience that combines beauty, flavor, and professionalism. 🥰🍴

I booked the table a week in advance but when I was there it took some time for them to check like the booking didn't exist. I was there for dinner and by the time I was there, most tables were available. There was a large sidewalk area outside to park motorbikes and cars. The restaurant was not noisy and very easy to talk to each other and I liked that. The staff was friendly, helpful and they knew the dishes well to recommend some good dishes of the restaurant. Everything was clean. The decorations of the restaurant were nice. We ordered salad, hotpot and milk tea which were very delicious. The salad was fresh. Milk tea looked beautiful and tasted creamy enough. I liked the hotpot the most. The broth was clear and sweet. Then there was tofu, veggies, mushrooms and noodles.

A Michelin vegetarian restaurant, but I find the taste here just so so. Not very outstanding. The restaurant has a nice decoration and staff is very friendly. Quite pricey!

We recommend for a good light meal. Réservation recommend. Our favorite: A) Braised tofu seaweed roll with turmeric: A perfect choice for a family dining, the tofu's rich flavor, th turmeric sauce's sweet and savory notes. B) vegetables soups C) Fried spring roll
