nice calm retreat in bangkok

This place has a really nice welcoming chilled out vibe. The food is simple and wholesome (the bun for the veggie tofu burger was freshly baked - the burger was really good). My girlfriend had the aloo gobi and we also tried the sweet n sour tofu - both of these were really good. Nothing stunning, but a really nice little veggie/vegan restaurant all the same, especially if you're missing western food or are struggling to find decent veggie food in Bangkok. I live in Bangkok and will definitely be eating here again!

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Clean, Not expensive

Great for vegans

Down the little alley that seems to have become a haven for vegan/vegetarians away from the seedy Thanon Khao San. This is a little gem. Really friendly staff and the food is yummy. They understand what a vegan is, so there is no need to worry about hidden extras! The place is a little ramshackle and some of the seats are a little uncomfortable, but that just adds to its charm!

I recommend the chocolate cake if you are missing a piece of home, as this is not the traditional quisine by any stretch of the imagination!

Give it a go! Oh and also try the fresh juices, you can trust them not to add the local water!!!

Pros: great food, friendly staff, good cake

Cons: little scruffy

My new favorite place..

Usually when I make the journey over to Khao San Road, May Kaidee's is my restaurant of choice...until a few weeks ago. Wow, this place is awesome! The veggie burger and panang curry were amazing, and the "famous" apple crumble coconut cream dessert did not disappoint -- it was by far the best dessert i've ever had in my life. If the BTS went to khao san road i would probably be at this place every night. Highly recommend!

Pros: Extensive Menu, Friendly Staff, Nice Ambiance

Cons: Limited Seating

Fantastic Place

I would highly recommend this place. It has a lovely atmosphere, really great food, and is a really nice escape from the hustle of Khoa Sahn Road as it's totally unique.

Good prices and the vege food is delicious and it even has a quick Thai lesson on the menu for ordering vege food! Almost considering a trip down from where I live in Chiang Mai just to visit this place again.

Pros: Good food, Good price, Good atmosphere

Cons: None

Great Place!

Upon arriving in Bangkok I was hungry and exhausted, and relieved to find Ethos easily with direction from other reviews. Ethos has a wide range of Thai and Indian food. I really liked the laid back atmosphere. They have lots of quotes on cruelty-free lifestyles, which was very refreshing. I loved the Aloo Gobi and Dal, but the Pakora wasn't great. They have brown rice, which is a rarity when traveling in Thailand. I also recommend the oatmeal with coconut milk - yum!

What's Not Great?

I was after some true western food. It has it - a very big range - as well as Thai food. And cooks it well. It's really cheap too, and not at all hectic.

Pros: cheap, tasty, relaxed

Cons: language barrier

Ethos at Khao San Rd

I am astonished that someone could write a negative review about Ethos. I was so happy with the place that I left double my usual tip. The food was great, free internet, very nice chilled atmospher, easy to meet others. The spring rolls are to die for, as is the Tom Kha soup. It was a real oasis for me. I didn't notice a waiting problem, but even if I did, the food would have been worth the wait. Total thumbs up, I just wish I had found Ethos earlier in my BangKok stay.

By the way, just around the corner from Khao San Rd, when you go down to the end of the lane, turn left and it's about three shops down on the right. Don't go to the first veg cafe straight ahead, as it also has meat dishes. Just love those Ethos spring rolls.

Also, for westerners, the prices are ridiculously cheap for what you get.

Pros: Chilled Ambience, Tasty fresh food, Free internet

Cons: Slightly hard to find

Impressive menu but little to show for it

I visited Ethos only once and after spending some time in Bangkok felt like something western for a change. Sadly the restaurant lacked ingredients: I would have wanted some tofu burger and fries, mango lassi and chocolate cake with home-made ice cream but the waiter told me they only had tofu burgers. So I opted for a pineapple shake (mmm, great) and did a little internetting (it's free here) in this cool atmosphere and went someplace else to dine.

friendly laid back kind of place

And a very good place to relax, and enjoy your evening. We ate here several times while in Bangkok, and suggested it to friends. Everytime we ate here, we fell into casual chats with those around us, as it has such an open atmosphere. Though the service is slow, and there was only one man we every saw serve, cook and clean, he was super friendly. The Shepherd's pie and chai made for a nice light dinner.

Pros: Comfortable seating, Diverse menu, delicious food

Cons: Service is slow
