Wholesome food - Edit
Modest restaurant run by extremely friendly couple, as such, food service can be slow when it is busy but nonetheless, very tasty. The prices were reasonable and we came back multiple times during our stay. Almost everything could be made vegan which they were more than happy to do for us. Would recommend for a comfortable and cosy meal.

My favourite in Princesa - Edit
This place is such a gem. The little restaurant with lots of green gave me a cam experience. The food was brilliant. As I said I was a vegan, the lady replied that they had vegan cheese for my rice bean burrito. The portion looked small but I was full. They also had a guest book for customers to write their reviews and opinions which I find beautiful. I came back the next day for dinner..

Okay and affordable. Be careful with the dairy. - Edit
The restaurant is centrally located, near the main intersection, and right beside a main road. Not sure if that’s a good thing.
Read moreBe careful as I learned (too late) that it’s “vegetarian” and not strictly vegan. So a good percentage of the menu has dairy. Lots of it. Especially cheese.
Service was okay and quality was okay as well. Just not authentic. Far from it. Especially the “Mexican” ones. But otherwise, a decent place.
No AC, so it might get uncomfortable at noontime. We went in the evening.
Pros: Affordable, Okay service, Accessible
Cons: Lots of dairy, No AC, Parking may be an issue

I'm sorry, this simply isn't true at all.
Read moreI've been going to Imas since 2008 (I live nearby) and as far as I know they are 100% vegan now. They used to be 95% vegan, with every vegetarian item having a vegan alternative. Vegans will have absolutely no problem... talk to the owners, Ima and Sam, in the kitchen at the back to confirm!

Good and cheap - Edit
Very simple place but nice food. As we read the dishes are small we shared a few - spring rolls, fried tofu and two other dishes. I don’t remember the price but it was crazy cheap. We didn’t have to wait that long for the food as other did in the reviews, maybe we were lucky😄

Ok - Edit
Ima’s is a small family-owned restaurant near the downtown area that specializes in more European (Italian) food and this is very dairy based. There are some vegan options. Whatever I had I forgot about so it wasn’t memorable in a good or bad way.

Nice, simple, home cooked food. - Edit
Small restaurant offering a wide selection of vegetarian food. Portions on the small side but everything is pretty cheap. All the dishes we had were basic but tasty. The only downside was we had to wait almost an hour for our food but we had time to spare so didn't mind too much. BYOB.

Nice place - Edit
Nice garden seating area - feels a bit like an oasis. Good size vegetarian menu but the woman on the counter didn't seem to know what was vegan.. the food was small serving but tasty. Good price. I only ate there once. As I was being served my food a man arrived and explained to me what was vegan on the menu - he said that they make their own vegan cream and cheese using tofu and savoury yeast flakes - would have been handy to have him there when I was ordering!

Lovely local - Edit
Lots of options in small local restaurant. Had the teriyaki tofu for lunch which was delicious - although not huge. My boyfriend has the bean burrito which he really enjoyed and was a big portion.

Decent - Edit
Really lovely people working there and decent food, but I wasn’t blown away by what I had. I visited a couple of times and tried the burrito, teriyaki tofu and the rojak salad. The teriyaki tofu was my favourite of the three but was quite dry and too salty. I think they forgot ingredients in my salad as normally this type of salad should have tofu and/or other ingredients, but this was just a basic green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. The burrito was fine but a bit bland. Also, the service was so incredibly slow it was a bit comedic after awhile. For one of my dishes I eventually asked to have it to go as it was taking so long. She said, it’s already on the plate and will arrive right away. But I still had to wait another 10 minutes…;p

Not so tasty - Edit
Everything is the menu is very promising but then not really executed right. I really liked the small portion of guacamole and the Thai salad but they made Teriyaki taste bad and that's kind of impossible! And the tempeh was boring too.

Healthy vegetarian and vegan food - Edit
Always nice place to visit. Nowadays their menu is separated for vegetarian and vegan sections so it's really easy to pick up what's suitable for your diet. Wide variety of dishes for both diets and super fresh shakes too. Portions are small-ish so I recommend to order an appetizer too.

A wonderful vegetarian restaurant with loads of vegan options - Edit
Extremely happy to find this little place that is able to convert their various vegetarian dishes to vegan. Loved the tempeh steak, "sausage" fajitas, spicy bean burger, buko shake with soy milk. The Halo halo with soy milk was also a treat. The eggplant and mushroom sandwich and the stir fry vegetables were mildly disappointing but I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to all vegetarians and vegans in Puerto Princesa.

Considering there are only two vegeterian restaurants in Puerto Princesa, Imas served satisfactory food! Some dishes better than others. Imas suprise smoothie is delicous! The guacamole also! The waiters were very nice and we're happy to make anything from the menu vegan.

Veganize it! - Edit
Most dishes can be veganized, which unfortunately doesn't include the pasta at the time of writing (they contain eggs) and I'm hoping they change that soon. The tempeh or tofu burger sandwich are my all time favourites so far.. Bean burrito is basically great, too, but I agree that they could improve the sauce to make it tastier (and maybe learn how to fold a burrito rather than just rolling).. But overall highly recommended for vegans and I'm grateful for their effort in spreading awareness in a country that is lacking plant based options! Be back for sure..
