The restaurant was established by the members of Bong Sen Charity Fund with the slogan "We're happy as long as everyone has good meals." The restaurant was opened on December 14 at 136, Alleyway 88, Tran Quy Cap Street and provided hundreds of meals to people with difficult backgrounds.
This is the first charity restaurant of Bong Set Charity Fund in Hanoi. As of now, they have established 13 Yen Vui restaurants across the country.
Le Van Chinh, representative of Yen Vui Restaurant in Hanoi, said, "We run on donations of kind people. We want to bring good meals to those with difficult backgrounds and help spread kindness. We open from 11 am to 1 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday."
Nguyen Thi Xuan from Dong Da District said, "I just passed by this alleyway and saw the restaurant. The meals are suitable to my taste and everyone is very thoughtful."
Nguyen Thi Thanh, a street vendor in Hanoi, said, "I can feel the warmth and kindness of everyone when I eat there. I feel happier so I hope more restaurants like this will be opened to make life better."
The restaurant provides 200 meals a day, including vegan meals. The cost is only VND2,000 (0.08) per meal, and VND1,000 for a vegan meal. Bong Sen Charity Fund is planning to open another restaurant in Hanoi.
