Why it matters
Why SU Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time
Strict vegetarians in Sa Pa often settle for plain rice and boiled vegetables. SU gives a family a full menu of Vietnamese-style vegetarian dishes in a single place, with clearly marked vegan options.
It is not a Pure Veg kitchen because egg is used, so the tag is vegan-options only. For visitors who eat egg-free, the marked menu and willingness to explain dishes are the useful features, and guides for Indian tourists list it among Sa Pa's vegetarian picks.

How to experience it
SU serves Vietnamese-style vegetarian cooking for lunch and dinner. Spinach recommends homemade tempeh, spicy mushroom soup, braised shiitake and a chickpea dish, and lists banana cake, juices and coffee. Sun Paradise Land's guide for Indian visitors mentions vegetarian hotpot, tofu rice, mushrooms in black pepper sauce and pumpkin soup.
Spinach says the menu clearly marks its 5 to 10 vegan options, and the ingredients are often grown in the owners' garden. Egg coffee appears on the list, so the kitchen uses egg, and you should say so if you avoid it.
If you want a shared meal, order soup, a mushroom dish and rice for the table. Takeout is available, which helps before a long day trip.
