Same restaurant, smaller menu - Edit
This Mai Kaidee's has a menu half the size of the other location, and is therefore missing most of the better and more interesting dishes. As with the other location, it's not very comfortable to sit in. Pretty standard Thai stuff.

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Not comfortable to sit in, Has menu half size of the other branch

Vegan Buffet a great deal - Edit
We visited here at our stay in Bangkok. Had Mai Kaydee's in Chiang Mai at her sister's place and loved it and were intrigued by a vegan buffet.
Read moreIt's such a good price too, especially when you can actually eat all of the dishes since there is no fish sauce or eggs in it.
Mai was there dancing and was super friendly. They brought out fresh new batches of each dish every 20-30 minutes I think. One thing not on their menu was mashed potatoes but they served it at the buffet and I don't know why but we loved them and it was really a nice treat.
Everything wasn't too spicy either, so clearly made for the tourists! Will be back next time we come to Bangkok. :)
BTW we got there at 7:45 and most stuff had run low, so go early or be prepared to hang out and wait for fresh food to be refilled.
Pros: all vegan, inexpensive, food refilled regularly
Cons: had to take a long cab ride, locals don't know where it is

A lotus in muddy water. - Edit
I was there 6 weeks ago and had a very enjoyable evening. The food and service were good and the place clean and friendly with a homely feel.
Read moreI like the fact that they don't downplay the chilli too much for the farang. I had a coconut curry with veg and tofu - it had a good kick to it and was very tasty. The option of delicious brown rice.
The tempura was light and crisp and had spinach as well as the usual veg. The peanut dipping sauce was devine and the portion size was good too.
I plan to do Mays cooking course when I pass through Bangkok in a couple of months time. She also has a good Thai vegetarian cookery book.

Worth it if in the area - Edit
This is a useful place if you're in the Thanon Khao San area anyway. The food is pretty tasty and you can get the more healthy options like brown rice which makes a nice change!
Read moreThe staff are friendly and the menu is extensive. The Green Thai curry is tasty especially if you ask to have cashew nuts added to it like I did.
If you ask Mai, you can get some take away curry paste and such things so you can continue to enjoy the food at home or on your onwards journey!
Pros: Friendly staff, extensive menu

Good spot close to Khao San Rd... - Edit
The food was not bad...a bit oily though. I wish the Thai vegetarian community would wake up about having some fresh salads. Lots of tofu and rice. Even a fresh coconut would be a plus. All in all though, I would go back. Their desserts were good too. About $3 for a plate. Two people should expect to pay about $8 with drinks.
Read moreThe location is right off an alleyway, take your two lefts after walking out of the east side of khao san.
Pros: Location, price
Cons: oily, no greens

Good food but slow service! - Edit
The fried rice was great, but I'm note a fan of 'fake meat' which was prevalent in the dishes. They have brown rice, which was a plus. My major qualm was the incredibly SLOW service, but they were friendly. Also, despite it's VEGAN status on this website, they actually serve some dairy products.
