Why it matters
Why Dana Vegan House is worth your time
Dana shows that plant-based Vietnamese cooking can be more than tofu and rice. It is a useful stop for Indian vegetarian families who want a proper sit-down dinner in the Old Quarter without worrying about fish sauce or egg.
The Dong Thai street location is also close to Dong Xuan market and the lake, so it fits easily into an evening walk.
The room is calm enough for conversation, which is not a given in the Old Quarter, and the shared dishes suit a family that wants to try several flavours.

How to experience it
The HappyCow listing describes Dana as a vegan Vietnamese restaurant with a modern touch and a calm space, built around traditional Vietnamese rice dishes. Reviewers say everything is vegan.
The menu covers soups, salads, starters, mains and desserts. Dishes mentioned in reviews include tofu with gac miso sauce, mushroom soup, perilla leaf rolls, salt-roasted mushrooms, pumpkin with black garlic sauce, vegan pho and a shared hot pot. One reviewer noted a spend of 200,000 to 400,000 dong per person; treat that as a rough guide and check current prices.
This is a better choice than a stall for a family dinner, since you can sit and share dishes. Book ahead, and ask staff to reduce chilli if you have older diners.
