Good Asian option in Budapest

A good choice if like us you needed a bit of Asian food whilst travelling abroad. There is a separate vegetarian section on the menu that list the few offerings they do have as vegan. It isn't extensive but it serves a purpose.

The broth is pretty light on, and lacking in flavour, reviews that say great broth would be pleased by anything. There was no hint of any spices such as star anise or cardamon, it was just a very bland light veggie stock in essence.

We had Mien Ga Vega (vegetable broth, glass noodle, soy-based meat, wood ears mushroom, fried onion) and Cunh Tofu (vegetable broth, rice noodle, fried tofu, shiitake mushroom, bún cay sauce, vegetable). Bun Cay sauce wasn't anything stunning, the birds eye chillis help to zing it up a bit. It was served with pickled garlic which was nice but a tad vinegary, some birds eye chilli bits and some coriander. Cunh Tofu was marked on the menu as a spice level of one chilli but it wasn't spicy at all.

Pros: Good option, funky atmosphere, Plenty of seating

Cons: Soup base could use some effort

Delicious pho soups

They offer 2 or maybe 3 vegan option, the allengens are stated on the menu which is available in English and Hungarian too. The waiting time was very short and the staff was helpful and nice. Visited at least 10 times already, much recommended for pho!

Pros: Taste, quality, Allengens listed, Nice serving

Cons: Bit crowded

Good Soup

A few vegan options, Food was served fast and the Staff was friendly. The price for the portion size is favorable. We will come back again. There were many toppings in the soup, however, the soup itself could have had a more intense flavor.

Great spicy soup

I went to OSHO with omnivores and all of us ate soup, and all of us were very satisfied. My spicy soup with tofu was indeed spicy (hot) and tasty. The small portion is still huge!

Pros: Great vegan options , Generous portions

Not so full of flavor

The Pho soup with pea protein was fair enough with a lot of fillings, but the soup itself didn't have much flavor. I have tasted much better pho soups at other restaurants. But the place and the staff is nice. The price is not bad compared to the location.

Pros: Nice place, Nice staff, Fair prices

Cons: Not flavorful enough

Great soup 🍜

Had the spicy tofu and mushroom soup. Really enjoyed it. Busy place. We walked in, but reservations would help. Three clearly marked vegan options.

Ramen vegano

3 opciones distintas de ramen vegano, con proteína vegetal. Quizás no la más deliciosa que he probado (Heura le da mil vueltas), pero la sopa tenía muy buen sabor y sienta fenomenal con este frío.

Pros: Opciones , Sabor del caldo vegetal

Cons: Proteína vegetal, textura dura y poco sabor.

Good “oriental” soup (for Central Europe)

Pleasant, fast, practical. Tasty. Cool, sit-down environment. One of the less expensive places in a tony upscale (and touristy) area.

Pros: Taste, Price

Cons: Fresh condiments a bit tired looking

Good options

There were 3 vegan noodle soup options and also the dumplings are vegan. The soup could be more flavourful however.
However, Nice restaurant and friendly accomodating staff.

The food was ok, 3 vegan options on the menu. The staff were prompt and very helpful, can’t fault them. The food could do with more flavour.

So so

I had really nice experience in the other branch that I visited twice during my stay.
This restaurant looks bigger and more fancy but was almost empty when I visited, Mien ga vega soup was absolutely tasteless. Maybe pho would be as good as in the other branch but I decided not to come back. Definitely won’t recommend Mien ga vega.

Cons: Bland soup , Not 100% vegan

Fair

The hot soup is great during the winter days. We ordered a large bowl thinking of sharing but e serving is sufficient for one only.
5 options for vegetarian but guess the soup base are all e same.

Pros: 5 options, Fresh vegetables and mushrooms

Cons: Price on e high side.

Only 3 vegan options but it was very tasty. Super fast service but it seems to get quite busy even on a Monday night (upstairs wasn't open for some reason).

Pros: quick service, inexpensive

Cons: quite busy

AMAZING

All allergens are displayed on the last page of the menu- out of the 5 ‘vegetarian’ options, two have fish sauce in unfortunately but the other 3 are vegan. I got the tofu soup and it was incredible. It had me happy dancing at the table. Staff were very knowledgeable and very very friendly 😊

Childhood memories

The vegan options from the menu were not a 100% obvious. They were called vegetarian options and by default some of the dishes were made with traditional nuoc mam which consists of partly fish sauce. They did label their dishes with different allergens.

I had their dish called "Nem Saigon Vega" and the right portions of each ingredient made up a perfect meal. They offered to serve it with sweet chili sauce making the whole dish vegan.
The "Nem" was absolutely superb and did not need any of the meat I used to eat when I was very young and in my dad's kitchen.

The staff was not extraordinarily nice, but were polite. I would rate the restaurant 5 stars for its vegan food, not so much for the service.

Pros: Food and great flavours, Decent prices

Cons: Service was average, Vegan options were confusing

Nice pho

I had the pho mien ga vega which was nice. Didn't hit the expectation of the original but that's normal I guess. Nice staff which speaks English and menu also available in English. Can recommend especially as this branch is better located than the other one.
