The short answer
Bon's Vegan Bistro: what visitors should know first
Yes, for a calm, air-conditioned vegan lunch near the centre. Spinach says the whole menu is vegan, but the alley entrance is hard to find and one diner waited 30 minutes for an order, so go with time to spare.

Why it matters
Why Bon's Vegan Bistro is worth your time
The Ham Nghi area is the financial centre of the city, close to Ben Thanh market and the riverfront, so this bistro is handy between sights. For travellers who want a vegan meal that is not a basic street stall, it offers a calm room and a familiar bistro format.
The all-vegan menu means egg and dairy are not on offer, which suits both vegan and strict vegetarian guests. Jain travellers should ask about onion and garlic as they are not excluded.

How to experience it
Bon's Vegan Bistro is at 89/8 Ham Nghi, tucked into an alley, which is why visitors say it is hard to find. Inside it is quiet and air-conditioned, a relief on a hot day. The menu is an all-vegan Vietnamese one.
The dishes listed include mushroom, tofu and barbecue banh mi, fried spring rolls with brown rice noodles, broken rice, Hanoi-style bun cha, braised jackfruit and salads. To drink, there is coconut coffee, a mojito and house-brewed kombucha. A banh mi with a bowl or salad makes a good light lunch.
Spinach and HappyCow reviewers rate it highly, but one reviewer reported waiting about half an hour without receiving an order. Treat it as a relaxed lunch rather than a quick stop, and ask staff for a time estimate when you order.
