Really loved everything about my experience here. They have a plethora of food options to choose from, so it takes a while to sift through the menu, but everything looked really delicious. The Buddhist theme really resonates throughout the whole restaurant, the vegetarian meals are inspired, the vibe is cozy, and the staff is attentive and quick. The durian creme brulé style caramel was delectable. I would come back next time I'm in Hanoi!

We went with my husband to have dinner for my birthday, and unfortunately we had mixed feelings about the experience. We ordered two starters and two mains, but the dishes arrived in a very unusual order: first one main, then a starter, then another starter, and finally the remaining main. This felt strange, as we expected the courses to be served in a proper sequence to enjoy the tasting experience. The food itself was good, but the overall atmosphere felt a bit uncomfortable. The person attending us behaved in a rather odd way, which made us feel uneasy during the dinner. As it was my birthday, my husband kindly asked the staff if they had a birthday candle. They literally brought us just a candle and a lighter, without any dessert or small gesture. We would have been more than happy to pay for a small cake or cookie, as is common in many restaurants, but nothing was offered. Considering this restaurant is Michelin recommended, the overall experience felt underwhelming. The food was good but not outstanding, and the service was quite strange. There are other places with better service and a more enjoyable dining experience.

Wonderful dining experience with scrumptious and special vegan food. The fruit salad was a surprising highlight! (All the food is vegetarian, but its a great experience for anyone really!)

The service was amazing, we were sick from previous food we ate and while we were eating in the restaurant we felt so bad we had to leave. the waitress was very kind and packed all of our food to go very fast. Everything we tasted was amazing. The food was innovated well balanced cooked to perfection and beautiful. Our favorite dishes were the rice with truffle and the curry lotus. We will definitely come back and taste other dishes.

The food and service are excellent but the atmosphere is somewhat lacking. Everything is bare stone and the place quickly becomes very noisy. I’d love to see some carpets or sound-absorbing materials throughout the restaurant.
