Pumpkin hummus amazing! - Edit
I got the pumpkin hummus and rice for I think 100 Baht and it was amazing. I've never had anything exactly like the pumpkin hummus before but it's well worth trying, especially if you've already hit the most popular Thai dishes. I also got a mixed fruit smoothie and it was really good.

Authentically Thai & amazingly tasty - Edit
Went twice there and had a great experience both times.
Read moreThe food is so tasty and authentic. The owner is super nice and friendly too, I chatted with her for a good 10 minutes my first time there.
Did I mention it's also incredibly cheap, and does not use MSG!
My favorite dishes were the pumpkin hummus, tom kha & massaman curry.
Pros: Excellent food (no MSG), Very cheap, Friendly staff

Cheap & delicious - Edit
My now husband and I went to May Kaidee’s cooking school up near Chiang Mai years ago where we were dating, and we were delighted to visit her Bangkok location to eat on our honeymoon. May’s vegan conversion of traditional Thai dishes loses nothing of when it vibes to authenticity of flavour. Everything is incredibly affordable and worth every baht. Would revisit again and again.

Spirit's gone - Edit
As much as I love May, since she has left to New York, the spirit in her Bangkok restaurant has left. Over the recent years the quality of dishes and service have dramatically declined😡Still good recipes, but so sad though.

Beautiful curry - Edit
Decided to try a curry out here and wasn’t disappointed, not expensive but you have to pay for rice separately, the curry wasn’t massive but still very filling. I asked for a little bit spicy but it was a bit too spicy for me still…
Read moreThe service was nice, the location great and i highly recommend the massaman!

Really disappointing - Edit
The food here is extremely uninspired. Ingredients are fresh, like everywhere in Thailand, but the flavors are bland and the dishes are lackluster. It’s OK at best.

Good Curries - Edit
We went here twice with some years in between, I think it was better the first time, it felt less authentic the last time we went. Food was more sweet and less spicy the last time but not that surprising given its proximity to Khao San road.

:( - Edit
I was very excited to go to May Kaidee's because I love their restaurant in Chiang Mai. But the food here was avarage and the staff was SUPER UNFRIENDLY. They didn't say a word and didn't even look at us. We didn't feel welcome at all and won't come back for sure.. Maybe it's because of the Covid-19 outbreak that staff is rude to foreigners, I don't know..

Apologies for taking so long to comment on your post, and many apologies about your experience at our restaurant. The staff didn't mean to be rude but we're very upset during the time you visited. Due to the public health crisis we had already accepted the fact we would have to close long term. Not only our Bangkok Tanao Rd. location, but all locations in Thailand. As you can imagine this was very traumatic for the team. Hopefully someday in the future years from now we will be able to open new locations. Be safe and take care.

GREAT! - Edit
I was here 3 times in two days in January. My favorite being the fried seaweed! Green curry had slightly too big chunks of veggies.
Read moreI agree that some of the staff felt a little disengaged, but it made me try harder to be a little nice, because at least I was on vacation.
I took a day cooking course here and it was GREAT! I learned so many new things and it was a lot of fun.

Delicious flavours mix - Edit
On more than one occasion I had a chance to enjoy the amazing food here. From fresh spring rolls in peaunt sauce my favourite to all traditional Thai dishes but with a new twist. This restaurant is a must. Delicious food, and not at all that pricy

Still going strong in 2020 - Edit
Wow, how many years has this place been going? May Kaidee is most likely in New York city but, her restaurant in Bangkok is as tasty as ever. Strong points for being a early purveyor of vegan food in Thailand as well as the world. As for the food. Still really good.

Really good - Edit
I highly recommend trying the spring rolls and fried rice with vegetarian sausage! I understand people saying the service is poor, but the taste is wow! For two people with two beverages, a spring rolls starter and our meals, it cost us 410 B. Its the equivalent of 17,50 cad.

Vegano autentico e saporito - Edit
Ottima esperienza, locale easygoing, tavolini e ventilatori, pareti in legno, menù contenuto con belle proposte: smoothie e piatti di riso, noodles e curry. Ho preso due cose tipiche della casa e mi sono trovato bene. Economico, saporito, staff cortese e assente. Si sta bene, fa anche ottime colazioni.
Read morePros: Vegano, Saporito , Rilassante
