Nhà Hàng Chay Hoa Sen in Da Lat

I am not happy with my experience there. The soups, Banh Canh, and Bun Thai were really nice, but the french fries for a stunning amount of 80k VND are not eatable, still raw. After telling them, to do it fry it again, i got it back heated up, still raw. We didnt eat it, but still had to pay 80k for french fries, that cost every where else 30k to max 50k.After that disappointing experience, i will not return.

Came here a lot 7 years ago when living in Da Lat. There was so much care and attention back then. Today I went with my father and mother remembering the experience. Awful does not describe the experience. From wet plates having to ask many times (my wife is Vietnamese so no excuses of English). That was just the service, then came the food, overly sweet dishes had to leave most of it, battered tempura style raw batter inside, the chef did make another lot in fairness saltless tasteless. Saw the staff picking at the food as we left unsatisfied and hungry a million Vietnam dong shorter. How sad I was so looking forward to the old experience. Dont actually want to review bad things just wanna know what happened with the management change, post COVID , poor cooks and untrained staff?

delicious vegan food and a lot to choose from the menu!

Very bad experience, restaurant looks nice at first but the service was awful. We waited 15 minutes until three different persons came from which no one understood english or even tried to understand our finger pointing. They had no beer, no Pepsi and one coke? The lime juice we ordered was served after we got our meal. We could only choose between three different rice dishes instead of 15 which were on the menu. One dish was seasoned way to intense but the other one was okay. I was just happy when I got out of this „restaurant“ safely.

The staff was hardly speaking english and as we tried to order sth to drink, a lot of drinks were finished. No beer, no pepsi and no coke. The same with the food! (It was 8pm on a Friday!)In the end, my fried rice was just tasting like pepper with frozen vegetables from the supermarket. It was way too expensive too! 100k for a horrible fried rice…Don‘t visit this place! Spend your money somewhere else!

Good taste and fair price. Service is also good.

Had lunch here with my family today. The foods was okay, a bit oily and using quite a lot seasoning. The service is so so, could be improve by providing staff more training. Hope you guys could improve next time.

A very extensive menu, but the food here is not the best and is a bit overpriced too. Its a good place to go if youre feeling lazy and dont want to search for somewhere new.

Pretty good veggie food with a huge selection. The kimchi rice was yummy. Staff were friendly and spoke good English. A bit more pricey than other options but it is classed as a restaurant. I enjoyed the food here but I have had better/cheaper options in Vietnam.

Great food, friendly people. Love that they emphasize mostly vegetables and not just tofu and fake meat dishes. All of the things we ordered were very tasty. We were served quickly by a nice lady who didnt speak a lot of English but was pleasant and helpful.

This place checked all the boxes for me. Big chairs and tables that fit my long legs under them. Not crowded. Cheap. Super yummy food.

Service was terrible, they ignored us and took no interest in serving us. It states that this restaurant is completely vegetarian and all the food we ordered was vegetarian. However, THERE WAS MEAT AND FISH IN OUR HOT POT WHICH CLEARLY WAS STATED AS VEGETARIAN. The meat looked barely edible and disgusting, do not go here if you’re looking for a vegetarian or vegan meal! If I could give 0 stars i would. DO NOT GO HERE!

The food was delicious! Well go back again tomorrow as well as they have an extensive menu. We had the chili tofu and the sour soup with steamed rice and 2 orders of the fresh salad rolls - so good!

Excellent vegetarian fare. Reasonable prices. Very poor English so have google translate ready. Fast service. Must order the fresh spring roll.

Such nice vegan food! Me and my partner had mushroom pho and braised pie with lemongrass and chilli. Both were amazing, and the staff were so friendly. Well definitely be coming back!

Super tasty food, not so strong flavor, good for vegetarian. The restaurant was pretty busy when I was there,had to wait for 30 to get a table. But its worth waiting for.

Banh mi is great for 15k. The quality of the dishes are very good. Service is like in many places in Vietnam, if youre eating with more than one person, you dont get your food on the same moment.

Average vegetarian food. We ordered the crispy tofu which wasnt crispy when it arrived, but was quite well seasoned. Also had mixed vegetables with rice which all seemed pretty fresh, and we tried to order spring rolls but they said they didnt have any, then five minutes later brought some out to the table of Vietnamese girls next to us. The food we did have took about 15 minutes to arrive so no problem there. The menu has quite clear English translations, although the staffs English wasnt great. Im not complaining as Im aware Im in Vietnam, but it could make ordering a bit tricky. At least you know everythings vegetarian though!I was quite put off because the place was absolutely filthy. Despite there being quite a lot of staff and not that many customers, there were empty tables piled with leftover meals and the floor was covered in tissues and bits of old food.

Food is delicious, but i want to ask one question, there is a picture at entrance, they said it is sakyamuni (buudhaat age forty one with hair,bread and earring. But in both therava and mahayana"s scripture at that age of buddha,there is no like that so,i would like to know why like that and if it is true, can you show me evidence?

Not the best vegetarian restaurant in Vietnam for sure. The price is quite high and the food is average. Service could be improved. They put an extra dish on the bill for us, hopefully unintentionally.

Go at your own risk.TL;DR: Service and food quality seem very inconsistent. No English. Dont go near closing time (which apparently happens twice a day: 2pm and 9pmor peak hours. Food is tasty because of MSG. Unfortunately, Hoa Sen is a no-go for me. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I wont be coming back, simply because there are other places more worth spending your time and money at in Da Lat.Full review:Service and quality seem very inconsistent judging from others reviews. My own experience was the worst I encountered in Da Lat. No warm welcome and many tables were left dirty from the previous patrons, I suspect because it was near afternoon closing time and the staff were just eager to have a break.So many things were sold out but I dont know if they were really sold out or they just didnt want to cook some of the more complicated dishes so close to the closing time. My friend and I settled on the lotus rice and sauteed mixed veggies and they came out promptly. For vegan dishes, they were suspiciously very tasty, no doubt lots of MSG, so there.But the service - oh, the service - was what ruined the whole thing. Yes, English was rough but Ive dined elsewhere where the staff spoke very little English yet I still had the best time, so to me it wasnt the problem. The staff simply had no respect for us.I understand that English can be intimidating so I always ensure I smile and keep the interaction as simple as possible by gesturing and using keywords (instead of over-enunciate / speak louder. If they dont speak English, it wont help, trust me). But the staff just simply couldnt be bothered. Halfway through the meal I wanted to get a bottled water but again, it was sold out. I find it hard to believe but hey, maybe it really was sold out, who knows?Summary: I wont be coming back for sure.

Some of the best food you can have in Vietnam but unfortunately, if you are a foreigner, you will probably have a terrible experience. They are extremely rude and disrespectful if you are not Vietnamese. I understand that you will run into a language barrier when eating at restaurants in Vietnam if you speak English, but this restaurant just downright discriminates against "outsiders."

TERRIBLE.... The darkness is big in this place. The restaurant is dirty, our table was filthy, the food was average, but the staff... omg the staff... the stupidity are sooo great within this staff, and not just because they altogether speaking 3 english words, but they totally refuse even to try to understand what the guest wants.... the little boy waiter was so bored in total apathy, and he didnt just hate his job, but every guest in the restaurant. After weve finally got the menu to choose a food, they totally ignored us, like if they tried to delay the unavoydable...Never will go there again, and i dont recommend this place to anybody

Offers a wide range of vegetarian versions of classics Vietnamese dishes. The service was a bit slow and aloof, maybe because we went on Tet holiday. The taste was ok.

Good food, bad service. Waiters seemed to be scared of coming near our table. Had to shout to get noticed, and when they finally took out order they ran away before we could order drinks. Brought us someone elses food which sat on our table for a while before they realised and came to take it straight to the right table, not asking if wed touched it, luckily we hadnt. The food we had was great though. Some of the best vegetarian food we had in Dalat and pretty good prices.

I had the tofu and chilli rice which was delicious. I added a plate of boiled vegetables and in total this meal was 80K. Can recommend it as a decent place in Da Lat for vegetarians and vegans.My friend had the fried rice and enjoyed it.

Extensive menu. Ordered the yuangzhou fried rice, "chicken wings" & dumplings & chilli tofu rice. The fried rice was delicious and had mock Chinese sausage. The chicken wings were super tasty and had a great meaty texture. The dumplings were actually sweetened bread dumplings that are deep fried, I expected more traditional pastry with a filling dumpling but they were filling and tasty. The tofu was tipped with a lemongrass chilli mix and deep fried with a side of rice. All dishes were tasty and cheap, 160k for 3 dishes.

Maybe the best in town. Small friendly shop. Fresh vegetables every day. Most of the vegetaruan shops focus on meat lookalikes, but they dont have many vegetables :). This place has real vegetables, in addition to the meat substitutes, which really arent so healthy. I think Au Lac Chay is the best in Dalat!

Longtime vegetarian and Vietnamese food lover. I was not impressed at all with the food. Springrolls were very very bland and dry. They brought a sichuan dish when I asked for something with vegetables. It was bokchoy drowning it what tasted like a pre-made sauce from a jar. Banana flower salad was decent.Dalat doesnt seem to compare with the rest of Vietnam for food taste.Also dont get here to late or they wont have any of the dishes you want.

Delicious food and great value. Ended up coming back cause the food was so good. Definitely would recommend the roast dry gluten and the banana leaf salad, everything we had here was so tasty!

Decent vegetarian food. Saitan was good, and the tofu in tomato relish was okay. Portion of rice was way too big - had to pay for a portion suitable for four even though it was just two of us

Hue noodle good, mushroom pho good, HORRIBLE SERVICE. The servers here ARE THE WORST. They are rude and dislike serving foreigners - why? I have no clue. Bahn me is okay but the bread isn’t very good and they extremely skimp on the veggie:mock meat serving in the sandwhich. Servers get angry when you ask questions and even tho the menu is in English they have no idea anything you are saying . I still eat here because the food is good

The service staff was awful. They showed no intention to take our order for about 30 minutes. It wasnt even busy to that time, there was probably more staff in the restaurant then there were guests. The (vietnameseguest who arrived after us got their food before we even had the chance to order. The staff looked us in the eyes an just walked by several times. Why do they have an english menu, when they dont want to serve foreign guests?? That was the worst restaurant experience in our hole vietnam trip. After more than half an hour of waiting we left the restaurant. I never had to do that in my life before.

Just as we thought we were enjoying our nice hot pot, the staff says they cannot top up the soup as its 2pm & their kitchen people are off duty. We checked our watch and its still mins before 2pm. So we had to leave with half finished lunch.

Big selection of vegetarian food. Its not marked what is vegan so I just asked each time if what I chose was and it was OK. I got the chili tofu rice and the celery and tomato soup. I had the pho for breakfast too and it was nice. Had mock beef and crispy tofu skin. I got a bahn mi to take away for lunch and it was great. The tea you get on arrival is delicious!

Food was great here! We ate here two days in a row. The first day it took quite a while to get our food, the second day we got our food very fast! The dumplings are amazing!!! I got vegetables in combination(whatever that meansand it was very good! Would recommend this place.

We went there several times as it is located very conveniently and the prices are around 30 000 to 50 000 Đồng for a dish. Portions are big (the phố for 35 000 Đồng was very filling). However you should stick to there "star" dishes as there menu is huuuge and quality varies.

Being a vegetarian for 10 years and when you travel its a bit harder as you have to plan your meals. Luckily this place offer good vegetarian meals. When the monks are the regular then you know its a good restaurant.

Best vegetarian restaurant of Da Lat for any meal from breakfast to dinner.I have tried all the vegetarian restaurants of Da Lat City but this is best one.Reasonable pricing too.

We ordered a variety of dishes which were tasty. The sauted mushrooms very super yummy. Fast service comfortable seating. One of my top vegetarian restaurants in Dalat. Allow 100k dong per person on average.

Good basic vegetarian food at reasonable price. Dont expect premium service nor luxury setup, its not that kind of place. Come early as cooks dont hang around too much. Try the hot pots.

YUMMY YUM YUM! I was only in Da Lat for 24 hours and I managed to eat at this restaurant 3 times. The Banh Mi is amazing, as is the mushroom pho and steamed buns. I also tried the Fried Tofu (in the shape of Chicken Wingswhich was a nice texture but the sauce was really salty/sweet. The menu is quite extensive with many options for all taste buds. All items on the menu are vegetarian and the prices are Vietnamese prices, even for a westerner. Would definitely check this place out if you are considering it. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Da Lat.

Quan Chay Doi Loc is the place to go if you want authentic, reasonably priced vegetarian in Da Lat.This place was terrible. Ordered 5 dishes, the steamed rice and another dish came out 20 minutes after the others. We actually never received one dish. Staff super unfriendly. Most of all overpriced.Save your time and money.

Bloody Terrible service and staffs.Super dirty kitchen (i saw a mouse ran away from the kitchen door).Good food, tasty, many options but i dont think that can make up for the hygiene and experience.

Best vegetarian/vegan (chaybanh mi in Da Lat, and perhaps all of Vietnam.

Excelent restaurant! Big place usually pretty full and a lot of locals. We have tried many dishes and the food was always great. Prices are very friendly. Staff could be more attentive but i can excuse that because the place is usualy busy. They have great take away banh mi and dumplings and they also have corner with helthy/vegetarian stuff.

All dishes are 100% vegetarian and the place ia clean. We tried many soups, Bun Rieu, Mi Quang, but non of them were tasty enough. Fresh spring rolls were food and the peanut sauce was great. Maybe we were not lucky.

Great menu with many vegan options. Its all Vietnamese food, but the English translations are great. For under 5 dollars I had enough food to feed a village (miscommunication on my part led to an extra dish being brought out!). Great selection of teas and juices.

Solid choice for vegetarian food. I stayed a week at a hotel up the street and came here nearly every day. Staff are a bit cool at first, but warmed up after the second and third visit. Limited English spoken, but pointing at the menu works fine.
