iVegan is finally back in Thảo Điền! I am genuinely so excited that this plant-based business opened a location here in Saigon again. I used to order from them every single week, and was so sad when they closed their Thảo Điền restaurant. While iVegan has continued serving the city from their District 1 location, having them back in Thảo Điền feels like a homecoming.
Originally founded in the North, iVegan has grown into a beloved plant-based brand with ‘Supershops’ across Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City. Yes, they’re back, baby! This time, right in the middle of Xuân Thủy street.
Do you have to be vegan to eat here?
If that was your first question, then here’s your answer: Oh no honey, not at all! I’m not vegan. My reason for eating here is; their flavors are always on point, and even though there is no meat to be seen, I don’t feel like anything is missing from the meal. I have tried many different dishes from their menu over the years, and so far I have never had complaints.
Why I keep coming back
Whether you’re fully plant-based or simply searching for healthy restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, iVegan makes eating well surprisingly easy.
Whenever I wanted something healthy that didn’t feel boring, iVegan was my go-to. It became one of those places I didn’t even have to think about. I already knew it’d be good.
I am such a creature of habit, so I almost always order the same thing. My go-to order was their Mexican bowl. (I hope they bring that back!) But now I am excited to try all their new items.
What’s so good about it?
As I sat at iVegan, writing this blog post, a woman came in and asked me “is it any good?” – I smiled and said yes. She was in a rush, so just wanted to check out the menu for future reference. She came back out and when I asked what she thought, her first reaction was “I will be back.” It made me laugh because that was pretty much my exact reaction years ago.
I asked her why she was intrigued by the concept. So, we briefly chatted about how they got such great meal options – from salad bowls to smoothie bowls, but also sandwiches and burgers. And no fake meat, just genuinely fresh and filling alternatives like tempeh.
And, you know exactly where the ingredients come from.
Fun fact: iVegan gets all their vegetables from Tra Que Vegetable Village, just a few minutes’ bike ride from Hoi An, in Central Vietnam. This place is famous for – you guessed it babes – organic vegetables. Don’t you love knowing where it’s from, before putting it in your body?
A delicious healthy plant-based menu
Whether you’re craving something fresh after a workout, need a healthy lunch between meetings, or just don’t feel like eating another greasy meal, iVegan somehow always has something plant-based that fits the mood.
What should you order at iVegan?
Start with the bowls!
If you love a smoothie bowl, you’re at the right address. Choose from six pre-made bowls, and choose any add-ons you’d like! The perfect breakfast/brunch in my opinion.
If you want something more filling, their salad bowls are my personal fave. It’s what I usually ordered, and now got to try once again! They have five pre-made bowls, – and again – the option to add more ingredients and dressings. Which is so nice, if you’re anything like me and want to DRENCH your salad in dressing.
If you’re into something heartier
Other than their bowls, they have plenty of other plant-based dishes. I tried their Chickpea Curry, which was such a comforting meal!
They’ve got plenty more where that came from – burgers, toast, sandwiches, soups and more.
Don’t sleep on the desserts!
Yes, iVegan is super healthy, but we’re only human… I would definitely go for a slice of cake at the end of my meal.
What about the drinks?
I ordered a strawberry kombucha (from WayOf, an artisan brand based in Hoi An). But they have plenty of other options on the menu, like smoothies, cold pressed juices, fresh juices, coffee, lattes and tea.
The aesthetic is clean but still cozy
Their new venue looks so lovely. The entrance is very on-brand. They’ve got a lush courtyard – calm without being boring. You could sit here, even if the sun is out, because it is shaded with an aesthetically pleasing wooden cover. And inside, there’s plenty of tables to sit with your people, or even if you come solo, you’ve got a chill window seat.
Why you should visit iVegan
Some restaurants try to convince you that eating healthy means giving something up. Less flavour. Smaller portions. Fewer choices. iVegan proves the opposite.
Their philosophy has always been simple: make plant-based food that people genuinely want to eat—whether they’re vegan or not. By focusing on fresh ingredients, transparency, and meals that leave you feeling energised instead of sluggish, they’ve built something that’s bigger than just another café. It’s a place where good food comes first, and the fact that it’s entirely plant-based almost becomes an afterthought.
As someone who genuinely missed having iVegan in Saigon, I’m so happy to see them back in Thảo Điền. And judging by the crowd already finding their way through the doors, I have a feeling I’m not the only one.
Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, trying to eat a little healthier, or simply looking for a great plant-based breakfast or lunch spot, iVegan deserves a place on your list.
