Tam An Lac - Hoan Kiem

A moderately sized vegan Vietnamese restaurant run by Buddhist monks, featuring a self-serve buffet available only on select days alongside an extensive à la carte menu including hotpots. The venue is tucked away upstairs above a grocery store with a quiet, peaceful atmosphere and simple decor focusing on traditional herbal flavors and unique local dishes like monkey head mushroom. Pricing is very affordable, with pay-what-you-can options and portions generous, attracting a largely local clientele.
