Classic Thai food - Edit
Super delicious food! There are no vegetarian/vegan dishes on the menu but she makes everything vegetarian or even vegan for you when you say no egg, meat or fish sauce! And it’s super cheap - also really kind and nice lady😄definitely come back. I had the coconut soup with tofu (vegan).

Go to place if you want decent food which is cheap. There is no tofu on the menu but they'll add it to your dish if you ask them.

Great Vegan/Veggie Alternatives - Edit
Really good food and prices! Even if the dish on the menu only shows a meat option, she will make it veggie and ask if you want egg or not!

Deserves 5 stars - Edit
Very basic eatery with fresh and delicious food. We enjoyed pad thai with tofu and had nice smoothies. Staff is really friendly and the price is good. If you want to have a certain dish without egg and meat just tell the staff and they will arrange it for you.

Refreshing fruit shakes and tasty Thai food - Edit
The fruit shakes are very refreshing; cool, fresh and sweet (but not too sweet).
Read moreI asked for a veggie green curry and it was the best curry I've had (and I've been on a streak of eating green curry so that says a lot)!
Pros: Good prices (normal Thai restaurant prices)

£1.50 pad Thai!! - Edit
Pad Thai a bargain for 50 BHT and staff understood no egg. A huge portion of yummy pad Thai filling and cheap. Only disappointed to have not found this place before my last day on the island!

Good for what it is - Edit
As other reviews have said, tofu is available here, and staff clearly know what no egg and no fish sauce means. There’s not tonnes of space inside, but it is just a small roadside place!
Read moreBest thing about it is the cost, cheapest place around the Sairee Beach area by far. The menu isn’t that extensive, and whilst it is pretty tasty, it’s nothing special! I had the green curry, and wasn’t exactly blown away by it.
Decent food for the price though, and as a backpacker I can’t really complain!
Pros: Cheap, Menu items can be easily veganised
Cons: Limited options

Große Portionen - Edit
Schmeckt 10 mal leckerer, als man denkt, wenn man das Restaurant von der Straße aus sieht. Für Thailand unüblich große Portionen. Pad Thai war lecker!
Read morePros: günstig, erst recht für die Portion
Cons: nicht alles vegan

Cheap authentic food, but not always vegan friendly - Edit
The food is simple but delicious. The shakes are amazing and will only cost you 40 THB.
Read moreExplicitly state that you want "no egg" and "no fish sauce". If you simply request vegetarian you might end up getting eggs with your food.

Super leckeres Essen - Edit
Kleiner gemütlicher Laden mit lokalem Essen. Auf der Speisekarte stehen keine vegane Gerichte. Man kann aber jedes Gericht mit Tofu, ohne Ei und Fishsoße bestellen. Das ist gar kein Problem:)
Read moreUnglaublich lecker ist das Grüne Curry und der frittierte Reis!
Pros: Gerichte können in vegan bestellt werden, günstig
Cons: Keine

Mama Piyawan's - Edit
The actual name of the place is Mama Piyawan's. Mama is the lady in the kitchen, cooking all day. Came there shortly before 10 p.m. and was told to order either pad thai or fried rice, because the place was closing soon. I ordered pad thai with tofu, which came without tofu. There was a lot of sauce on it, that tasted like sweet and sour ready-made sauce. Didn't enjoy it that much, but it was okay. Portion size was good. I paid 50-70 bath, can't quite remember it.

tasty, cheap, local food 5 star! (it won't let me choose 5) - Edit
We stayed in Koh Tao for 10 days and ate here sooo often! Everything is cooked fresh so its easy for them to omit fish sauce, egg etc. They also offer tofu even though it is not on the menu and do take aways.

Cons: nothing

Good place for vegan/vegetarian budget travellers - Edit
Went there almost every day during my visit on Koh Tao - the staff understand English well, or definitely understand you when you tell them to make dishes without fish sauce and egg. They also have tofu (ask for it) and vegetarian/vegan curries - all for really good prices, starting at 50 Baht. Also, the shakes are delicious!
