Amazing, highly recommend! - Edit
This was easily some of the best food we’ve had since arriving in Thailand. We asked for spicy and it was hot but not too hot, we like spice! We had Green Curry, Massaman Curry & Anchan Fried Rice. Seriously good flavours, definitely worth the visit!

Delicious, spicy and great portions! - Edit
Love the variety of food and the taste. The fried rice portions are substantial - we had three people and had trouble finishing one (along with two other dishes). The food is actually nicely spicy as well, although you do have to ask for it to be hot, and they have a great selection of fresh smoothies as well. Highly recommend the long eggplant and Thai miso stir fry as well, it's great and super savory!
Read morePros: Long eggplant and Thai miso stir fry, Thai basil fried rice , Massamam curry
Cons: No air conditioning (though ample fans) , Up a staircase (no elevator)

Best red curry! - Edit
Fantastic menu! Everything is vegetarian and the vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. We tried the pumpkin red curry and tofu cashew sweet and sour stir fry - both were delicious. We would love to come back and try everything else. The restaurant isn't massive inside (maybe 10 tables) but service is fast so if they're busy and you can't get a spot, I'd recommend waiting around for one to open - the food is worth it!

Rude waitress - Edit
When I ordered the Thai basil fried rice, the waitress asked if egg was ok, I said “no, add extra tofu in place of eggs”. She then added egg and accused me of the error.
Read moreTerrible attitude.
In addition. No toilet paper in the poorly maintained bathroom.
I’d suggest to write your dietary restrictions in a translator to avoid disappointment.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Rude, Terrible attitude when confronted, Poorly maintained

Highly rate - Edit
Very tasty vegan dishes, food is very fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend sweet and sour tofu/ vegetables with cashew dish and the massaman curry. Only con is no white rice, but can get white rice noodles as a side for cheap instead. Excellent chef and delicious food!

Yum! - Edit
Though a little on the expensive side, you get what you pay for as Anchan uses fresh quality ingredients to make their mouth-watering Thai dishes. Their tempeh is made in house and is a must-try! I hosted a vegan meetup here a couple months back and the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly--answering our questions, accomodating special requests, and even sharing some trade secrets. I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

Best vegan food in Chiang Mai!! - Edit
Where do I start? The atmosphere is awesome and great for a nice night out. Everything is very reasonably priced and the food is AMAZING! Try the butterfly pea pad Thai it’s a nice twist on traditional pad Thai and is nothing short of boring.

Entre os 5 melhores de Chiang Mai - Edit
Lugar muito agradável! Fomos jantar no Anchan em uma noite muito agradável, então foi possível ficar na sacada.
Read moreA comida é deliciosa e muito fresca. Mesmo com muito movimento, o nosso pedido chegou rápido e quentinho!
Como nós adoramos a comida Thai, pedimos um prato muito interessante, que foi o Butterfly Pea Pad Thai (o noodles é violeta) e um delicioso e aromático Fried Rice.
Se você estiver pela região do Nimman, não deixe de ir comer no Anchan.

good place to visit - Edit
this is one of the place where you can go once and you will not regret if you will not vist it again. generally it is ok, good quality, good taste but it is nothing „woow” like on other vegan places (that is my personal opinion);
Read moreon the end everyobe should vist it to make own decision;
Pros: lot of vegan and vegetarian options, clear menu with marked veg options, probably one of the best place in his area
Cons: meals are good but thats it

Best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Chiang Mai - Edit
Over the 5 years I've been visiting Chiang Mai, Anchan remains the best value, tastiest Asian food I've found. Actually it's just got better over the years, now with a great range of dishes on offer: curries, stir fries, salads, juices etc. Some of my favs are Miso aubergines, Green curry and Indian curry. I've never had a bad meal.
Read moreThe produce is of high quality, clean kitchen, everything cooked freshly to order. Great prices. Lovely, lovely staff.
Pros: Great range of delicious Thai food, Wide choice, Cosy feel with indoor and outdoor space
Cons: Can get busy, Food cooked to order so you can wait at busy times, No air con, but lots of fans
