Great food

Had an amazing lunch in this place.

Fried rice - I ordered black rice, it’s so fragrant with the chewy rice texture. I wanted to get medium spicy level but the restaurant manager advised me he would get the kitchen to prepare one chili level and if I don’t find it spicy, they still can add more chilis later. It turned out the spicy level is great and does match well with black rice.

Green curry - Same thing as the fried rice, I just ordered with one chili level. The curry broth is so yummy, fragrant with coconut milk and I can just drink it. Personally I think it can be more spicy but my dining partner wouldn’t want to have too spicy food.

Spinach rosti - This is the best rosti I have ever tasted and my dining partner loves it very much as well. The topping of spinach and vegan cheese matches well with the rosti!

I’m so delightful that they do serve vegan ice cream. The mango ice cream is yummy!

Overall all the food is very tasty and the service is good! Vegan option is clearly stated. Highly recommend this place!! 🙂

Pros: Lots of vegan , Yummy food, Friendly staff

Hits the sweet spot. Really does.

Food is verily God, and should fulfill all our senses.
It should look, smell and taste good.
It should feel good on the tongue, the teeth and the stomach.
The missus and I searched for this place on the night before our flight back to Singapore. And the hunt was worth it.
We ordered
Spinach Gyoza and Tempeh Satay - Actually this was too good and I gorged on them and didn't leave enough room for the mains...
Vegetable Green Curry - Sublime
Tom Yum Soup - This was probably the best Tom Yum Soup I've ever had. 😍
Massaman Chicken Curry - A tad spicy for my liking, but so good!
The vegan ice cream - Quite good too!
My only regret was that we over ordered, and we couldn't take any to go, especially that Tom Yum soup.

Food is good, but too expensive

The food was good, but the portions are ridiculously small and the price is quite steep compared to local thai restaurant. You can eat a pad thai and fried rice for 50 baht, so paying triple that for the same sucks.

Pros: good food, air con, good service

Cons: small portions, expensive

Great food

I went here probably 4 or 5 times. Was dying to get some healthy food without white rice.
Not only did they have brown rice they had red and black rice!
Everything I tried was good, and there is a huge number of options.
It's clear the owners care about the food they're serving to customer. This is not your average restaurant business.
Too bad it's so hard to find places like this when you're traveling.

Pros: Lots of vegan options. Low-fat.

Cons: The location is nothing special, but it's central.

Good choices, good quality

Really cool place, it has a lot of different options, most of them Thai which is nice, you can get most traditional Thai dishes here in vegan version. They have some European stuff too like pasta and pizza. The mushroom and spinach gyozas are amazing !! They also have some eggs in some dishes but it's very clearly marked. Highly recommended

Great selection of vegan friendly food

This is a quaint little restaurant with an large menu at least half of which is vegan. They even have vegan cheese and vegan ice cream. They also don’t use msg,palm oil and refined sugar. Unlike a previous reviewer we found the price to be very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Great selection , Great staff , Clean restaurant

Cons: A little out of the way

Amazing Range of Vegan Options

I actually picked my hotel with this restaurant in mind as if I ran out of options this place would always be close by. And it didn't disappoint.

Healthy food and a healthy selection of that food with good service in a very clean ambiance, and their food philosophy means of the 4 times I visited the restaurant I never had a bad meal. The ambiance is perfect and cosy with service great.

I had many different dishes including:
Tempeh Burger
Fried glass noodles
Massaman shiitake curry

All without fail were amazing and perfectly priced!

You have missed out one of the best vegan food experiences in Pattaya if on your visit you fail to visit this place.

A hidden gem

This place has an enourmous menu! Here you can get all the vegan and vegetarian versions of traditional thai food, as well as pizza, burgers, and much more. Straff is very friendly. Dont be fooled by the looks, this place is a fun and delicious experience.

Cleanest kitchen in Thailand!

Pattaya can be a challenging city energetically for all sorts of reasons and finding a clean place that serves vegan food and uses coconut oil and no msg etc while being super clean was a treat. It sure helps that the owners are both lovely and dedicated to providing good service and quality food. We loved the giozzas and appreciated the extensive menu. Highly recommend it if you end up in Pattaya. ✨

excellent and healthy

this place is great. I used them for delivery frequently.
their food is top notch, and it also is healthy.
they get their soy products mostly from taiwan and it's not GMO and of course more reliable than China or Thailand.
They also do not use oyster sauce, which is usually sketchy stuff that many Thai restaurants use. They frequently deliver within 1/2 hour which is amazing given the time to cook and traffic in Pattaya. Try them out.

Pros: healthy, tasty, fast

Cons: no tofu burger

all so good

Very happy to have found this wonder thanks to the reviews on Happy Cow. Firstly the staff were awesome. Very welcoming, extremely understanding and helpful. The menu is clear and extensive. A vegan has many options. Mock meats to fresh veggies. Ice creams etc. I had gyoza and a Pad Thai. But I wanted to try everything. I am going back today and every day that I’ll be here in Pattaya. Was also given a business card so that I could order food over the phone and have it delivered by motorcycle. My hotel has little to no vegan food so this is just brilliant.

Pros: extensive menu, quality food, excellent staff

Mock meat heaven

I'm not the kind of vegan who misses meat but I'm also not disgusted by the taste and texture of it (yet) so I still appreciate and enjoy the mock meat style of vegan food and this place is one of the best I've been to in Asia.

The menu is predominantly vegan but for some clearly marked items they include egg or egg noodles.

Pros: extensive menu, pizza and pasta as well as Asian, very good service, friendly staff

My first vist was today.

We tried a few things on the menu. Everything tasted great. After two weeks of eating very unhealthy, I'm so glad I finally went there. I'm used to food from the Loving Hut but this exceeds that experience. Mostly because of their extensive menu, Five Star J is at the top of my list of restaurants. Another 6 weeks in Thailand and I'm pretty sure I will mostly eat there.

Pros: Very diverse menu, Mostly Vegan, They even deliver

Cons: I couldn't think of one.

Very disappointment

Были в этом кафе три раза. Все было хорошо и вкусно, нас всегда встречала очень приветливая хозяйка. Но когда мы пришли в третий раз, сначала заказали розовое вино, нам его принесли, мы попробовали, но оно было сильно кислым, я позвал официантку и сказал что мы пить не будем и объяснил ей почему мы его не будем пить - очень кислый вкус. Затем мы заказали ризотто с грибами шиитаке и пиццу. Сначала нам принесли ризотто, но попробовав его мы поняли что оно очень соленое, сказали это офицантке, она предложила заменить блюдо, но настроение было уже испорчено и мы отказались, затем принесли пиццу, она была вкусная. Мы попросили счет, но почему то в счете были включены вино и ризотто от которых мы отказались. К нам подошел мужчина европейской внешности (возможно это управляющий) и сказал что мы должны платить за все потому что мы попробовали вино и ризотто, причем сказал это в грубой форме, развернулся и ушел, мы оплатили весь счет полностью и ушли в ужасном настроении. Очень хотелось бы чтобы этот отзыв хозяйка кафе - очень приятная женщина. Хотелось бы услышать ее мнение по этому вопросу.

were in this Cafe three times. all was well and tasty, we always met very friendly mistress. but when we came in the third time, first ordered pink wine, we it brought, we tried, but it was strongly sour, I called waitress and said that we drink will not and told her why we it will not drink - very sour taste. then we ordered risotto with mushrooms шиитаке and pizza. first, we brought risotto, but trying his we understand that it is very Salt, said it офицантке, it is suggested to replace the dish, but the mood was already spoiled and we have refused, then brought pizza, it was delicious. we asked to account, but for some reason the account were included wine and risotto from which we have refused. to US went man European appearance (perhaps this is managing), and said that we have to pay for all because we tried wine and risotto, and said it in the rough form, turned around and left, we paid all the expense of fully and left in the awful mood. very I would like to this review mistress Cafe - very nice woman. I would like to hear the opinions on this issue.
