Good for a quick lunch

Staff was stressed and a bit unfriendly. Food was good though. Portions are quite small. Prices for Railay affordable.

Some of the best food in Thailand here

Oh wow, what a spot. The dishes were huge though but I was too tempted to try both. I had the deep fried tofu mashed with mango and fat out…it was amazing. I couldn’t help get a fried rice as I love them so much and it surely didn’t fault. I’d travel back just to go here and have again.
Very busy but room for everyone and a great vibe.
Excellent vegan options

Lots of options, popular restaurant

The menu has extensive options for veggie/vegan as you can get standard things like curries with tofu/vegetable option, as well as a separate vegetarian menu section. The first time we came really enjoyed our penang curry and pad Thai. But the second day, the same penang curry didn’t come with tofu this time, just veg, and the staff did not understand us when we asked where the tofu was. My Tom yum noodles came with egg despite me explicitly asking and saying no egg, so they had to remake them. I think the quality of experience will depend on the waiter you get, as the second time they didn’t speak good English and some of our requests were misunderstood.

Easy to be vegan here

Very easy to choose vegan options - there’s a vegetarian section in the menu but as long as you specify no fish sauce, oyster sauce and no egg you will be fine! This was the only good vegan food we found in Railay Beach so we went twice. Reasonable prices for Railay too!

Side note - we did wake up with food poisoning that night, but are around 80% sure it was from one of the juice places near the entrance of Railay West beach.

Delicious

The food was delicious and arrived relatively quickly. We had the steamed tofu with lime sauce (super tasty, a bit spicy) and fried ginger with tofu and vegetables. We can highly recommend it.

Good food, nothing labelled vegan and ridiculously long waiting time

I ordered the deep fried garlic tofu, which was delicious when it came … an hour after I had ordered it. Unfortunately, we were quite pressed for time so I wasn’t able to finish my dish and it only came out because another person I was with was asking about where our dishes were. The flavour was amazing and the pricing was decent, but after waiting and hour and having to ask where our food was in order for it to come out, I don’t think I would come back here any time soon. The coconut peanut shake was amazing. Note: it is boiling hot in the restaurant as well, also there is a free salad bar!

Vegan customized at good value

Mangrove is an open air Thai restaurant with meals at great value. The service is excellent and they’ll be happy to veganize dishes. Loved the red curry and mango salad. They won’t argue with you about the spice level!

Pros: Great service and value, Veganize traditional dishes

Great value vegan options!

Delicious vegan options at a great price! Many items can be made vegan upon request and the staff is familiar with vegan substitutions. We tried many dishes and like these best: fried rice with basil leaf and tofu, drunken noodle with tofu, red curry soup with tofu, cashew nut with tofu. We came here each day we were in Railay because the quick service and cheap price were unmatched

Pros: Many items can be made vegan, Staff is knowledgeable about what's not vegan, Cheap prices

Cons: Live seafood for sale at front, Very hot

Come here if you stay at Railay!

Kai soi with tofu and garlic tofu is amazing. It doesn’t appear on the menu but they were happy to make it once we showed them the pics from HappyCow.
Nice vegetable fried rice without the eggs.

Für mich nicht akzeptabel

Es wird in erster Linie Fisch 🐠 angeboten und damit geworben (Grill am Eingang). Da blutet mir als Veganer das Herz ♥️ Keine Vegetarische oder Vegane Angebote auf der Karte. Tofu nur auf Nachfrage. 2 Sterne weil das Red Curry lecker war.

Pros: Guter Geschmack

Cons: Fisch und Fleisch hauptsächlich

Accommodates Vegans

Not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, but they are willing to make many dishes vegan when asked. We had a yummy Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice with a Mango smoothie. The portions were huge! My husband and I shared and were both full! The main reason we stopped here was because the restaurant was covered from the rain and it had a washroom for customers. But we were not disappointed with the food.

Pros: Friendly English Speaking Staff, Large Portions, Washroom for Customers

Cons: Not Vegan, Limited Options

Mangrove is the best

Mangrove Restaurant is my absolute favorite place to eat in Railay Beach. Na (the proprietor) is so sweet and genuine. She cooked me vegan options of all of her classic Thai recipes. Mangove's red curry with pineapple veggies and tofu is one of the best I ever tasted.

Pros: Almost any dish can be done vegan or vegetarian.
