Great tofu! - Edit
We were at first very confused over how the whole food court all worked. It is very loud and busy (which is to be expected). I took the fried salty tofy with herbs, which is the best tofu I have eaten during my stay here in Thailand (2 weeks). My sisters had the tom yum soup which was also good.
Read moreMy tofu was 120 baht and the soup was 100 bath. So more expensive than other jay food I have eaten here, but I think it is good pricing.
Pros: Fully vegan
Cons: Loud , A bit confusing

See review of CarrieleBlanc - Edit
The review before me describes perfectly how Jay restaurants are. The only thing I will add is that this place was a bit of a disappointment for us as it was twice as expensive and half as good as the jay restaurants in phuket town. If you are hungry during shopping in the mall, it will be good enough but we won't be coming back for this foodstall.

Cons: Expensive for quality

Vegan (Jay) Food at the mall - Edit
This is a food booth inside a large mall. Visit the third floor and go to the left. There is a long corridor with various food booths and restaurants there. Look for the booth with the yellow flags that look like they are displaying the number "17". Whenever you see this in Thailand, it indicates Jay food. Jay food is related to the Jain religion (which advocates for harming none)...so in addition to being vegan you will not find any onion, garlic or other items that can only be eaten which require the death of a plant.
Read moreIf you haven't yet experienced Jay food in Thailand, the experience is generally this: You visit the booth and make choices from pre-made foods. You can indicate if you want rice or not. Then point to a few things you'd like to try. Generally the stall owner can let you know if something is spicy or not. Remember....spicy in Thailand is TRULY spicy, so don't go for it if you aren't prepared. Once your plate is made you'll be charged some amount for it. It's not clear what it'll be when you are putting it together, but in Phuket it'll probably run you between 50-100 baht.
The plate I made, pictured here, was 100 baht, or a little over $3 at the time of this review.
Jain food is super hit or miss. It is generally mushy from having been cooked a long time. The food on your plate may or may not be hot...or it might be lukewarm. All common.
You need to go into the experience of eating at Jay restaurants understanding what it'll be like, or you may have frustration as I did at my first Jay restaurant. This is what "real vegan Thai food" is. It's not the fancy curries we have back in the U.S. Give it a try. You're in Thailand after all!
As for my plate, some of the items I liked, and some I didn't. I did go across to the next food booth to get myself a 50 baht fruit shake afterward to help wash it down! (BTW: fruit shakes in Thailand are just fruit, ice, and a bit of sugar syrup. They range from 50 to 80 baht in Phuket).
I give the experience four stars...based on a comparison of other Jay restaurants, not vegan restaurants in general. Jay food would never be my first choice of vegan food! If you are thinking of traveling to SE Asia, consider going to Vietnam instead, which is cheaper, and has more and better vegan options.

Good choise for small stall like this - Edit
I don't know why previous reviewers not satisfied but I totally happy with this place. It's small yes, but has quite big choice of fresh food for small price.
Read moreI'm always happy to find vegan place at food court especially like this one. Recommend to visit it.
(Just go to food court at 3rd floor of Central Festival - there you'll see red-yellow signs).
Pros: Fresh, Cheap, Good choice (around 8 dishes)
Cons: No

Have vegetarian food, but like every restauran... - Edit
I mean, all restaurants can sell rice, noodles with veggies... but it is not a Vegan restaurant. My language is Spanish for this is difficult for me to express my self.
Read moreEs un lugar lleno de puestos de diferentes especialidades, puedes pedir tu plato sin langostinos ni carne ni pescado..pero igual que en cualquier otro restaurante, no tienen nada especial de verano o sano. Lo típico de cualquier restaurante Thai.
Se come bien, a mi me encanta, la sopa de noodles con verduras y hierbas esta rica, el Phad thai, etc etc... también algún plato con tofu.
Pros: Can choose from many., Can ear veggie and friends can eat meat., All in one, cheap
Cons: It is not special vegetarian or Vegan., muy informal.

It´s a food court with many different stalls and one of them is selling only vegan food (thai-chinese jay-food), so it is a vegan food stall.
