Shamballa Bến Thành | Vegetarian Restaurant

“Every visit to Shamballa has been excellent. The food is full of flavor, and it is worth trying whether you are vegetarian or not. I am not vegetarian, but I avoid meat during Lent. I first visited Shamballa during Lent in 2025 and have returned because the food is that good. My favorite dishes so far are the Shamballa Crispy Mushrooms, Grilled Eggplant, Shamballa Rolls, and the Cassava Salad (not pictured). I have honestly enjoyed every dish I have tried. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. They take the time to point out ingredients you might not expect in certain dishes. Today our server was Diep Diep, and she was excellent. She was cheerful, attentive, and very helpful. #EatLikeFrank”

“An incredible surprise, we wanted a break from meat in Vietnam, and this place blew our minds. Every single item on the menu is delicious, the oyster mushrooms are to die for, and the soups and noodles are a party of flavours! Cannot recommend enough, also our server Bac was fantastic and super helpful.”

“Bella was our server and she was amazing! I am vegetarian and I was worried about eating in Ho Chi Minh but this restaurant was perfect!! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful, and all the servers were so kind. Would definitely come back! and highly recommend! I wish I took more photos of the food but we couldn’t stop eating to take a photo!”

“This one has got to be one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I try to eat vegetarian most of the time and Shamballa is a vegetarian's paradise! The menu is expansive, creative, and covers a wide range of Vietnamese foods with an incredible pallete for diverse flavors. I cam e back 2 more times after my first visit in Saigon because I couldn't try everything on the menu the first two times. The restaurant is spacious, considerately decorated, and has a wonderful garden and outdoor space. It is truly an incredible visit, even for meat lovers!! If you are visiting Saigon, this one is a must go. I am surprised it hasn't gotten more popular.”

“This place never disappoint.. great fodd, full of flavour, with elegant presentation, and the best part is we get to enjoy vegetarian Vietnamese food without any doubt.. Thanh Bae took good care of us, making us enjoy our big pot. A must place to eat, hoping to steal their recipe.”
