Vegan In Vietnam

There are countless reasons why you should visit Vietnam—the people are just amazingly friendly, the sights have been impressive throughout history, and there's just so much you could do everywhere you go. When looking for Asian destinations, vegan travelers should begin in Vietnam. 



Before you pack your bags and practice your basic tiếng Việt, get to know how you can pick out the best vegan spots in the country.

Say, Chay

When you see the word Chay in street food stalls or restaurants, it means vegetarian or vegan. When you say "An Chay", it means that you intend to eat like the Vietnamese Buddhists. But saying the word is not a magic spell that you can use to summon vegan dishes. Sometimes you have to speak out about your preferences. 

For vegan travelers, you could simply use the phrase “Toi Khong An” which means "I don't eat" in Vietnamese and then add in words for milk which is "Sua", "bo" which means butter, "Trung" for eggs, "nuoc mam" for fish sauce, or "Pho Mai" for cheese. 

Get The Pho Out Of Here!

Vietnam's most famous dish in the West is, and brace yourself for this, also a hit in Vietnam! Pho is usually an amalgamation of rice noodles and meat-based broths, but if you add the word Chay after Pho, then you'll change your vegan game in Vietnam. 
Pho Chay is the vegan version of the world-famous soup dish. Instead of meat-based broths, they'll pour in veggie stock, some tofu, and the amazing array of other ingredients that make this dish simply Pho-nomenal.



Vietnam can be a very friendly place for vegans. They have been enjoying vegan cuisine before they even heard of the term vegan. There are a lot of food choices, and a lot of vegans have been living in the country for years, so it's a good place for food, friends, and fun. 

And why stop in Vietnam? Travel the stretch of the Mekong River while you enjoy the company of other people in the community in a culinary cruise specially made for vegans. It's a gastronomical exploration worth discovering.
