Hoa Dang (vegetarian)

Hoa Dang, the vegetarian restaurant at 38 Huynh Khuong Ninh in District 1, is no longer listed at that address. The Loving Hut chain now lists a Hoa Dang branch at 63 Mai Thi Luu, nearby.

Hoa Dang (also called Loving Hut Hoa Dang) was a vegan and vegetarian restaurant that Vietnamese press named among the world’s best vegetarian restaurants in 2014. Our old listing put it at 38 Huynh Khuong Ninh, at about $3-5 a meal, and it also ran a vegetarian buffet.

Where it is now

Loving Hut’s own Vietnam page gives the Hoa Dang branch as 63 Mai Thi Luu, Da Kao ward, District 1, and doesn’t mention the Huynh Khuong Ninh address. Both are in the same Da Kao neighbourhood, a short ride north of the city centre. We couldn’t confirm opening hours or the buffet, so check a live listing before you go.

More vegetarian options

Vegetarian restaurants (com chay) are easy to find in Saigon, and many of them are cheap, particularly around the Buddhist festival days when they get busy. Other vegetarian places with pages here include Sesame and Tib.
