I am not a vegan, but went to this cafe after searching for vegan cafes in Richmond...it was well worth the trip from Albury to eat there.....food was absolutely delicious, would definately dine there again....you can even get vegan wine...staff fussed over us, very pleasant experience
I’m a meat person but I still loved this joint. Food is wicked. Would recommend to anyone.
Recently revisited this place after several years. Previously have always enjoyed whatever I ordered.
I ordered the mushroom hot pot because I noticed a heavy reliance on the microwave when I walked past the kitchen on my way to the bathroom. Wasn't too impressed with that.
Based off what I ordered though and the friendly service shown to us. 5 stars. Broth was perfect; very umami and tasty and the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. Would eat this every week if I can find someone to come with me for hot pot here.
I love this place!
I have the vegetable pho each time - without the mock meat! And it’s so tasty! Probably one of my favourite Vietnamese places!!
The staff are so friendly and great!!

If you're a vego or vegan then this is the place to come. I was recommended this place by someone who loves meat but said this was his 'go to place' lately because everything is so tasty. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone with that Vietnamese flavour. Enjoyed the salt and pepper crispy tofu which was cooked to perfection. My friend had the vermicili noodle salad that was so large we had to share. Really appreciated the presentation of the food as well as the speed. Comes out pretty quickly.
Did like the decor, with lots of funky Asian trinkets and memorabilia that give it a nice vibe. Kids welcome.Takeaway menu available. Dietaries catered for. Wheelchair and disability friendly. Parking isn't too bad, just watch those signs as the inspectors are pretty quick here.
I’ve been here twice and enjoyed the meal we ordered. Both times we had the Grilled Pork Rice Paper Rolls which is like a deconstructed paper roll. You select which filling you want and wrap your own rice paper roll. There was sufficient filling to wrap 10-12 rolls (I was eating, not counting!). Loved the mock-pork. Crunchy and juicy. Will definitely visit again.

This place caters well for true herbivores. It was recommended to us by a carnivore and a foodie, so we knew the faux meat options would be good. We chose from an extensive menu offering popular Vietnamese dishes, which arrived at the blink of an eye.
Tasty Fish Cakes and Salt and Pepper Crispy Tofu preceded the delicious Pancake, which came with a generous serving of mint, my favourite herb. My friends enjoyed their Spicy Noodle Soup and Vermicelli Noodle Salad, which were also generous in size and ingredients. We also loved the Custard Apple Smoothie, thick and creamy, reminiscent of our time in Vietnam. Fresh and wholesome ingredients throughout yielded authentic flavours and colourful presentation. The faux meat was pretty good indeed.
Friendly staff and speedy service meant we could have a quick and satisfying meal before heading off to a gig. Lots of Asian memorabilia decorate the functional space. A good spot to bring friends with dietary requirements and still enjoy a casual meal.
Since my girlfriend had recently become vegetarian and I had a recommendation for Finas 2 in Fitzroy I decided to take her there on her birthday. However with Finas 2 being closed yesterday I decided on here instead. This was my first experience with a vegetarian restaurant with replacements for mast products. I found the calamari rings to be nice. With the Pho I found it to be lacking flavour in the broth however the meat replacement and vegetables were good. The fried rice was spectacular and had a genuine wok haze flavour. Well worth a visit.
I've been to Fina's in Fitzroy. Finally got a chance to try the OG outlet. This spot is gonna be a new local for sure. They've got a selection of pretty affordable noodle soups- this time I tried the crab soup with tofu, vermicelli and some other add-ins. I liked the broth flavour and texture of the spongy tofu, but wish there was a bit more to the soup. Next time I should try mock meat or something with more substance. Either way, it's a great and light option that would be good for summer.
Bonus points that food got to the table super quickly.
On this visit, I also got a Vietnamese iced coffee made with vegan condensed milk (!) So excited to be a able to get a dairy free version so close to home. At nearly $8 it's a bit expensive, but worth the splurge once in a while.
We had VN stewed beef (fake beef made from soya), VN pancake and springrolls. The stewed beef and pancake were beautiful with generous vegi for wrapping. The fried springrolls were just so average, nothing special at all though. Service was fast and friendly. The owner seemed to be very proud of his food.
I came here with my vegan friend, I myself eat meat but thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service was very good, staff were polite and friendly, food came out at a good speed.
Lovely service, with the team being more than happy to explain their company ethos to us. The food was light yet flavourful - I loved my stir fried noodles with vegetables and my friends loved their pho and clay pot dishes! Will definitely come back again next time I'm craving some pure vego food :)
Had the imitation crab noodle soup ($15), had great flavour and different types of tofu. Good portion size. Love the decorations inside and the staff were very friendly and always smiling. Only issue I had was the price, it is noticeably more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants on Victoria St. Glad I came and will come back.
This is the first time I eat vegan Vietnamese style restaurant. The dishes are well executed and tasted really good including the fake meats! Would highly recommend the special dry noodle and the tofu chicken claypot. The food tends to be on the sweeter side but still delicious considering no meat involved.

The best vegan Vietnamese I’ve ever had. I had the rolled beef with rice paper sheets. And the mock beef was the tastiest and meatiest I’ve ever had. Highly recommended. The spring rolls were awesome as well. My partner has the Bun Bo Hue which was delicious and spicy. Will definitely be coming back. I’m sorry I didn’t discover this place sooner.

This is a cute vegan restaurant serving traditional Vietnamese style dishes. The staffs are very friendly. The dishes are tasty and plentiful. This is also a clean place to sit and sip coffees or fresh juices.
So I had the paper spring rolls, tofu stuffed with prawn and a turkish delight mousse creation. All excellent choices, go me. Those desserts in the display cabinet are all vegan.

Vegetarian food is easy to find. Amazing Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine is almost impossible. Until Fina's
Let me be clear, when I say, 'Amazing Vietnamese vegetarian,' I'm not referring to vegetable curry or mixed green wok tossed in garlic sauce with a side of salt pepper tofu. I'm talking about traditional Vietnamese dishes commonly found at home.
A word of caution, vegetarian broth/soup is made from fruit and vegetables, which is where all the sweetness in flavour comes from. It's much lighter and 'cleaner' than meat based stock. If you can get past it you're in for a treat.
We ordered a serving of the Nem Nuong chay (vegetarian pork ball - cold rolls) and a Bun Bo Hue chay (vegetarian spicy beef soup). To say, Fina's is the best vegetarian food I've ever had is a complete understatement. There's no compromise on serving, taste and quality despite being vegetarian friendly.
So next time your buddies want Vietnamese food, don't get stuck eating the same old boring vegetarian fried rice and drag them to Fina's Cafe.
