I'd rather forget I ever ate there - Edit
The beginning was promising. We were greeted by super friendly and helpful staff. The menu was huge, and it was hard to pick. But in the end, it didn't matter because the dishes were totally tasteless, and everything we ordered with my friend was pretty bad with low-quality ingredients. I never thought I'd have the worst pad thai of my life in... Thailand 💔 . The prices are quite high. Definitely way too high considering the bad taste and quality.

Great for vegans. Horrible for allergies - Edit
Went to the place for dinner with 2 friends and my partner. We explained that my partner has a peanut allergy and can’t eat them. So we confirmed which dishes have no peanuts.
Read moreThe first two dishes went well and after 1 bite from the third one he went silent.
I called the waiter to the table and asked again. What is in this dish/sauce? Is there any peanuts. And she said maybe. Went to the kitchen and came back. „We don’t put peanut inside, but the red curry have little bit peanut powder“ but only little bit. She took no responsibility for her actions and that this got us a trip to the hospital. We even needed to pay for our food. She was so „kind“ to remove the dish that almost killed my partner from the bill.
The only person seriously concerned & apologised a few times, was that young waitress.
Pros: Good vegan choices
Cons: Not suitable for people with allergy!!!

Mi restaurante favorito en Pattaya - Edit
Si empezamos con la amabilidad no acabo, que es maravillosa.
Read moreEn la carta tienen diferenciados platos vegetarianos de veganos con el símbolo Jay rojo y amarillo pero aun así ya te lo explican muy bien por si no lo conoces, lo primero que te dicen, sin preguntarlo, es que tienen las dos opciones... una maravilla.
La comida está empresionante, la más rica que he probado hasta ahora.
Pros: Comida y amabilidad, Lugar tranquilo, Precios y cantidad de comida

Huge menu - Edit
Absolutely loads to choose from - Thai, Indian and Western. I had the vegan carbonara which was tasty, although that and the shitake mushroom starter weren't full of flavour. Still would recommend

Very Good Food - Edit
UPDATE: Have dined here again twice, over the past 3 years, since my last review 9 years ago. Excellent food and service. Still spendy, but this is a fine dining experience and worth it.
Read moreFrom 2015: Having dined here hundreds of times over the past 8 years, since the change in ownership I've been unimpressed. The food is the same...very good...but the prices have skyrocketed while the portions are noticeably smaller and the customer service severely diminished.
Updated from previous review on 2015-04-03
Pros: Clean, Good food
Cons: Small portions, Expensive

This is strictly business, not personal. However, I must make one thing perfectly clear,as you keep wrongly stating that we did not pay that day. Although our food was offered gratis, we did NOT accept this offer. As we departed, we left nearly 600 baht on the table...more than covering our bill AND a tip of approximately 10%. The farang owner followed us outside and tried to return the money. We politely refused and said that if he didn't want the money, then he should give it to the staff. With that, we left and he kept the money.
Read moreThis is EXACTLY what transpired and anyone who says differently is being dishonest.

Hi Sevin,
Read moreThank you for your review. Sorry for the harsh first response which I'm revising now.
We are so glad to see that you still enjoy our food! We find it very encouraging that you and and our other reviewers and customers seem to all agree on our excellent food quality. Being that you ate at the restaurant when it was under different ownership hundreds of times and think our food quality is still as good means a lot to us.
In order to keep our food ingredients and quality at our high standards, we have had no choice but to raise our prices slightly due to international food price increases. We feel our prices are still very reasonable for the top quality food that we offer.
We also put great pride into keeping our restaurant very clean as you mention.
We are always working to improve our customer service. If there is a specific issue that you have with our servers or staff, please feel free to let us know directly, and we will do anything we can to accommodate your needs. We only accept money from fully satisfied customers, and we decided not to charge you for your meal because you had some issue with the value that we offer. We will continue to strive to do our very best with all of our customers by providing high quality food at reasonable prices with unparalleled service."
To make the case clear for you. We do not have a farang owner, it´s me who owns and runs this restaurant and the money you left behind was given to the temple, as we really don´t accept money from dissatisfied guests.

Sådär - Edit
Liten restaurang med halvtrevlig personal. Ena tjejen var supertrevlig och behjälplig, när hon gick på rast blev vi servade av en livlös tjej som verkade trött på livet.
Read moreDet finns överdrivet med rätter att välja mellan, vilket sällan är bra. Säkert över 100 rätter. Konstigt för en så liten restaurang. Det mesta på menyn såg inte aptitligt ut men jag beställde en röd gryta/soppa med sojabitar, paprika och chili i. Den var smakrik och god.
Pros: Relativt billigt

Top quality vegan food - Edit
I really liked this place.
Read moreThe menu is huge and the majority of items in it are vegan. Vegan-friendly items are clearly marked.
The food I had here was always top-quality, the only downside being that the service could be a little slow. It was always worth the wait though.

Good - Edit
Had the Massaman curry and laarb ped. Both was good, although the soy protein was quite crunchy and thus hard to eat conveniently. Finished it nonetheless because of the taste :-)
Read moreThey don't use MSG or similar ingredients and most dishes are naturally vegan. Some cheese is served.
In my opinion one of the better options in Pattaya, a town with overall rather mediocre vegan options.
All staff including the owner were very friendly.
If you are in Pattaya I would recommend to visit.
Pros: Friendly staff, tasty food, huge menu
Cons: huge menu

Large menu - Edit
Comprehensive menu, so it is hard to choose what to try. We had the vegan khao soy which was very mildly spiced compared to other vegan places but the egg-free noodle substitute just didn’t make the cut. We did try some other dishes, particularly the tempeh, which were enjoyed. I will visit again though and try other dishes, as I’m sure we were just unlucky in our choices..

Gave me dairy cheese on vegan food - Edit
When ordering my food, i asked for vegan Parmesan on my pasta. She asked “vegan Parmesan?” And wrote it down when I said yes.
Read moreLater my brother ordered non-vegan mozzarella for his pasta, and they put mozzarella on both of our meals. When I tried telling them I ordered the vegan Parmesan, they refused to admit that I had ordered it and tried to blame me on ordering the wrong thing.
They also told me multiple times that the cheese was vegan, even though it 100% was not, which they admitted after a long time of discussing. I then got a new meal with no cheese but still had to pay for both meals. I ate my pasta and got out of there fast due to the very awkward atmosphere.
My family had a good experience with their food, but the staff was not pleasant so we will not be returning.
Pros: The vegan food that was actually vegan
Cons: Gave me dairy cheese when I asked for vegan, Tried blaming me, Tried convincing me the dairy cheese was vegan

Not amazing - Edit
I would not eat here again. Food was not great. I appreciate that they have lots of options on the menu and that they do not use sugar, palm oil, etc… but it’s not a place I would recommend to my friends.
Read morePros: Great service , Clean , Fresh young coconut is amazing
Cons: Too many options. Do one thing great.
OleEgeli
I'm sorry you experienced it that way. It would have been easier for the restaurant and the guests if there were slightly fewer dishes. Now that it's the selection it is, I hope you'll come back by a later opportunity to taste more of the food and have a better experience💚

nice owner but that’s about it - Edit
Without exaggeration, this was probably the worst food experience (in veg restaurant) in 3 months thailand. It’s quite expensive and doesn’t taste good. Juice is store bought/not fresh. Service fee is not included in the price which is deceiving customers. I’m wondering why the reviews are so good??
Read morePros: big menu (maybe part of the problem)
Cons: expensive , plastic piece in food, bland taste
OleEgeli
I'm sorry you experienced it that way. This is just a small vegan/vegetarian restaurant (Have egg alternatives in some dishes) who are trying to survive in a harsh world. I hope you can come back to give this restaurant another chance.

I wish I didn’t eat there - Edit
Pattaya is really bad for good vegan food. I am sad that I went here and ate here. They have really big menu and advertising no msg no chemicals etc.
Read moreThey should also tell you it’s tasteless and sell you small cup of a store packaged juice for 60baht. Really Expensive for what you get. It’s a nightmare and it’s sad they sell “VEGETARIAN FOOD”.
Only good thing is that they have wifi and the owner is being nice. This is the worst food I had in my vegan life(the worst of the worst was non veg) and I am very disappointed.
If I can go back in time, I will tell myself to AVOID THIS PLACE FOR GOOD.
OleEgeli
I don't know what this restaurant has done to you to make you feel so bad. The owner and all employees do their best to ensure that everyone has a good experience. There are probably better alternatives on the large menu than the juice. Hope you will come back on a later occasion so you can get a taste of this. As a vegan I have tasted a lot, and know that this restaurant has a lot of good things on the menu💚

Excellent variety of dishes, friendly owner & staff - Edit
During our 5 day visit to Pattaya, we visited Five Star J vegetarian twice because WE LOVED IT.
Read moreThe restaurant is vegetarian (and vegan friendly), with excellent variety of 200+ dishes, very friendly owner & staff.
The menu has Thai, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Malaysian, Western and fusion dishes. Really appreciated the level of detail on the menu – including how spicy each dish was and sometimes the waitresses would check with us to make sure we could take that level of spice.
I highly recommend the spinach dumplings, papaya & green mango salad, khao suey, tom yum with veggie seafood, stir fried spicy noodles and passion fruit ice cream. In terms of curries, we really enjoyed the tempeh pumpkin red curry. Others dining at the restaurant mentioned the banana pancakes were delicious too.
Five Star veggie is closed on Wednesdays. Takeaway and delivery available.

Clean food but messed order up few times - Edit
The resturant menu has a wide selection of food. Vegan and vegetarian wide selection.
Read moreThe staff was polite and freindly yet what put me off was the way the owner spoke to the staff and treated them was really very unpleasant. At first it become my favorite place to eat but after a few visits it really upset me how the staff was treated by the owner at one point one of the girls looked like she was going to cry. Felt very uncomfortable. Food is clean but eome dishes especially the westen food is bland and very dry. The mexican and thai food is the best on all i can not knock the food or service yet i would recommend the thai dishes and duck
Pros: Food was clean , Service freindly, Fast service
Cons: Staff treatment, Gave me wrong food , Served me eggs in one dish

Not as expected... - Edit
We've been here because of the good reviews, but over all we were a bit disappointed.
Read moreWe ordered two currys one for 169 baht and the other one 139 baht with rice for 39 baht. It was very pricy in my opinion compared to other restaurants and for what you get.
The food was o.k., but we expected more for our money.
While we were eating, when my partner finished one of his plates the waitress started immediately to take away his plate, while I was still eating.
And if that were not enough, when he finished the other plate, she came again, took away his dishes and asked him if he wanted a desert, while I was still eating. That was pretty disrupting.
The staff was friendly and served us quickly, but we had to pay a 7%-service fee (we never had to pay that in any other restaurant) on top of the price.
We wouldn't recommend this place.
