  • Try the vegan pho or bún Huế; diners praise the noodle soups, and one review notes vegan pho for 59k.

  • Good to know: If avoiding contact with meat, fish, or dairy, note that the vegetarian menu is prepared in a venue that also serves those foods.
  • Consider the lemongrass-and-chili tofu or fried tofu; reviewers specifically recommend the tofu dishes.
  • Expect generous portions and quick service, though one reviewer reported stale, dry spring rolls and a difficult bill correction.

About

Ngọc Thọ has a very large vegetarian menu alongside a separate meat menu, with Vietnamese dishes such as vegan pho, bún Huế and bánh xèo, plus Western and Mexican choices. Portions are generous and prices are low, but recent diners report that the menu’s “vegan” label can include egg or cheese, so confirm ingredients carefully; the dining area also handles meat and fish.
