Yes, for a quiet vegan lunch on the Nguyen Hue walking street. Spinach says the whole menu is vegan, but the room is small, upstairs, and closed on Sundays, and some dishes run out after lunch.

Why it matters
Why Mang's Mania Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time
Nguyen Hue is the city's pedestrian showpiece, close to the City Hall and the Opera House. Finding a vegan kitchen with a quiet room just above it means you can break up a day of walking in the heat.
The daily-changing menu and housemade tofu show a small, cook-led approach rather than a standard tourist menu. Onion and garlic are not excluded, so Jain guests should ask, and Spinach adds that dish availability varies.

How to experience it
Mang's Mania is at 86 Nguyen Hue, upstairs behind the May Cha tea shop. You walk in through the tea shop and climb to a small dining room, with a quiet balcony some reviewers like. The food is vegan Vietnamese and changes daily on a chalkboard.
Dishes diners name include rice-noodle soups, fresh rolls, brown rice sets, fried tempeh with ginger and lemongrass, a green mustard roll, seaweed balls, silken tofu and a vermicelli bowl. A combo of a roll, a main and a drink or dessert is listed at 100,000 dong, which makes ordering easy.
Because the menu depends on the day, some items are gone by the afternoon, so go for lunch. The walking street outside is pedestrian, pleasant for a stroll afterwards, and the restaurant is closed on Sundays.
