An all-vegan restaurant offers a new menu every day. NOTE: Location and signage is difficult to find. You need to find the MAY CHA tea shop, and enter through this storefront. The red MAY CHA sign is easy to find from the street, and once inside you can see the sign for MANG'S MANIA at the stairs in the back. Mang's Mania is up the stairs on the first floor. Open Mon-Fri 11:00am-8:30pm, Sat 11:00am-9:00pm. Closed Sun.

Delicious and I think is was fully vegan - Edit
I had the vegan balls with brown rice and tomato sauce and it was delicious (the photo was taken after I had several bites!). I can’t remember the name of the noodle bowl hubby had (included in photo) but it was also delicious. And the vegan salted caramel ice cream was outstanding. As other reviews have said, the entrance is a bit tricky as it looks like it is part of the shop below. I’ve marked the entrance in yellow in the photo.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
I went to this restaurant 4 days in a row, for my visit to Ho Chi Minh City and every day I was amazed by the delicious food and service, absolutely vegan so you don’t need to care about ingredients, I’m very happy that this options can be found all around the world and still get to know the typical food, just in a cooler way!

So good - Edit
Had the most delicious broth I think of all time here in the noodle dish. Got the vegan balls and tofu in tomato sauce which was amazing (minus the coriander taste)
Read moreThe vegan balls taste a bit like devon /baloney which I liked.
Do not skip dessert - the salted caramel ice cream scoop was so very good

Varied menu - Edit
Restaurant is upstairs, you walk into a drinks shop and towards the back and upstairs to get there.
Read moreThe menu is on a chalkboard, I believe it can vary daily. I had the spring rolls with rice noodles, it was a big portion and pretty tasty.
They also have vegan ice cream!

So delicious - Edit
We had the vegan balls and tofu in tomato sauce, the rice noodles with fried spring rolls which were both delicious. Both the vanilla and salted caramel ice cream were sugar free and also tasty. The best part was the lime, ginger lemongrass juice! All for $13!!
Read morePros: Lime ginger lemongrass tea was divine, Everything is made fresh, Great price

Eat here - Edit
Simply put, the food is delicious. The building is filled with a delectable aroma the minute you set foot through the door,. With a hand written rotating menu don’t expect to eat the same meal as I but have faith that whatever you chose will be tasty and leave you wanting to come back. staff are friendly and the service is both helpful and fast.

Delightful Veg Restaurant! - Edit
Daily menu on the chalkboard has a lot of variety, and mostly vegan dishes. It was hard to choose a dish! Hubs got a dish with vegan balls (uncertain of the ingredients, but medium density with great flavor!) and tofu in a tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was less of a pasta sauce, and more of a light sauce with chunks of tomato, and it had an amazing taste! I had the vegan fennel balls with tofu and rice. We had the choice of white or brown rice, which was a nice change. Both dishes were served with sauteed green onions, and bitter melon (?) on the side, as well as a brothy onion soup and spicy soy sauce. These were easily some of our favorite dishes of our entire trip! Service was very friendly, and very speedy. We also had the ginger lime with lemongrass drink, and it was super refreshing! Overall, a big win of a restaurant. Directions to find were on point in the app (going thru MayCha restaurant to the back stairs).

Lovely staff and authentic dishes - Edit
This is a cute restaurant hidden up a flight of stairs in the center of the city. The menu is written on a board and I get the impression it can change frequently. I went in for pho but doesn't look like they sell it anymore. I got the mi Quang noodles which tasted authentic and were nice, I think if you love pumpkin then this is a great option. I wasn't sold on the pumpkin broth but that's just my personal taste. My partner liked the vegan balls and tofu rice dish. It looks like they don't use any sugar in their drinks so iced teas etc. aren't sweet!

Simple, clean & flavorful - Edit
Flavorful dishes and the right portion size per dish. They even added a complimentary soup. And the cold coconut water was incredible - the coconuts here are smaller than the ones we’ve had in india and Indonesia and are very very sweet. Lovely spot for a clean and flavorful meal.

Hidden Gem in the heart of the city - Edit
Lovely upstairs restaurant run entirely by women. Really enjoyed the food and the variety of options of different noodle and rice dishes. Also served lovely desserts. Have to go through another shop to find it but quite common in Vietnam- definitely worth seeking out.

Good food, decent price - Edit
Ordered the tofu in tomato sauce which comes with rice and vegetables. Really enjoyed it -fresh and healthy tasting, and a decent size portion. We were not however a fan of the spring and green mustard rolls we ordered, not lots of flavour or substance to them. Cosy setting and also has a balcony looking out into busy city. Recommend a visit.

Limited options, food is just okay - Edit
Cozy little place upstairs, menu options are written on the chalk board and items are erased if they are out. The food is fine but nothing to rave about.

Delicious food, great value! - Edit
It’s not easy to find. You need to walk through the right hand side of Maycha on the ground floor and take the stairs to level 1. The changing menu is displayed on the chalk board. The food was delicious, plentiful and great value for money. The restaurant accepts payment by credit card and cash. I would highly recommend a visit if you are near the Opera House part of town.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Indoor or Outside balcony seating available , Cheap
Cons: Difficult to find, Welcome could be warmer
