Thien Nam - Phu Quoc

During our honeymoon trip to Phu Quoc, my partner and I dined at this restaurant multiple times. The food consisted of traditional Vietnamese vegan dishes with mock meat, which had a good taste. The prices were very affordable, and I highly recommend trying their hot pot. We also purchased some instant noodles and vegetable snacks, which were delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed relaxing in the hammock after our meals.

They not only heat up the food so it's not cold, but even the complimentary soup is delicious. Only 20k for a vegetarian dish! This is definitely the best place. Update: I may have gotten sick from eating here, but my partner did not.

I dined at this restaurant every day, sometimes twice. The prices are very affordable and the food is delicious. They even heat up the food for you, which is a unique touch for a buffet style restaurant in Vietnam. The soup is amazing! The staff may have limited English skills, but they are incredibly kind and you can tell they put love into their dishes. Highly recommended!

Rice dish (15k) was tasty. You were able to choose what all you wanted with it. Lots of mock meat options. Banh Mi (10k) was okay for the price. You were able to choose what you wanted with it. Same options than the rice dish had. The bread wasn’t crunchy, but I can’t complain since it was 10k! No herbs. Only minus is that the place is quite unhygienic. Flys everywhere. The lady uses sometimes her hands to take some food. The food stands all day long on the trays. Not heated atm. I will update this post if I get food poisoning, fingers crossed. Fyi I have already travelled 4 months and gone thru two food poisoning so my stomach might be a bit more used to these germs out here than folks who starts their travels.

I liked being able to have some local food at a simple place like this. They didn’t speak English, but I didn’t have to worry about the food not being vegan. I had a Banh Xeo, Banh Mi and a spring roll. I would have liked some more vegetables but they had a good selection of mock meats. The people running it spoke no English but were very nice and helpful.
