Best Khao Soi Ever - Edit
The buffet was okay but the winner was definitely the Khao Soi. I’ve had a lot of Khao Soi but this one was the best I’ve ever had while simultaneously being the cheapest! Can’t go wrong, get your vegan/vego butts down there and grab a bowl of Khao Soi for 50 Baht!!

Look what they have - Edit
Small, nice shop. In the evening there wasn't much choice (you point to the food you want. Rice is served with it). Everything together cost 50 baht. The food tasted OK. Not everything was tasty, but we had a small selection. You definitely get full for little money.

So why the 2 star review then? Sounds ace.

Well, the food I had was edible. But not really tasty. The selection was also very small. The service was not good either, as they didn't explain how the concept worked and what exactly the food was... I should have perhaps made that clearer.

Traditions Jay restaurants - Edit
Very well located at the heart of Chiangmai’s old city. A variety of delicious premade options served over rice, Thai noodle soup and Khaosoi on request and a few other made to order options posted with pictures on the wall. The food is very tasty and clean, and probably the most inexpensive vegan food you can find anywhere in the area. Highly recommend. This is a Jay restaurant, no animal sourced ingredient used.

Excellent Thai food cheap! - Edit
The place is very simple and you just walk up to the buffet counter where a woman will fill your plate with your choices. I didn’t know the names of anything but the items included mushrooms, faux meats, noodles and lots of veggies. I got a large plate full of delicious Thai food (3 items) with rice and free water for 50 baht! The woman serving my dish said all of the food on the buffet is vegan. The food was very tasty but the temperature was just warm, not hot.
Read moreI came back again a few days later and had 2 items with rice for 40 baht. The price includes a side of spring rolls and you can add cilantro, hot pepper paste, fermented veggies as you wish. I think this is the best value for vegan food I have found so far in Thailand. It’s all simply delicious!
July 2024 - Back in Chiang Mai and I keep going back to Ming Kwan. The food is exceptionally good and such a great value!

Okay - Edit
They've got a good selection on the buffet. Our plates were okay, but for me way too salty.

Pretty good! - Edit
I enjoyed the veg spring rolls. The veg fish was not quite to my liking. Everything was very affordable and the space is clean. I didn’t love that an elephant sanctuary where you can touch, feed and bathe elephants was advertised all over the store.

Yummy veg buffet - Edit
Lovely food, some spicey, some not, nice spring rolls & tofu 'fish'. You can get a plate of brown rice with different veg dishes, spring rolls, wonton & more for 50-90 baht depending on what you take (I do always order a lot!). They usually have a choice of 8-10 different dishes, often including a potato-based curry, a green bean dish, a green aubergine dish, some kind of noodle dish & stir-fried greens. The portions are generous & everything seems to be vegan except the noodle dishes which I didn't order as they appeared to be egg noodles but you'd have to check. They also serve Khao Soi hot, in a separate pot away from the buffet, which is usually made with egg noodles. Water is available free of charge.

Cheap Vegan Lunch - Edit
Small mom and pop shop that sells Thai and Chinese vegan entrees from rice to noodle dishes.
Read moreWe tried their Khao Soi Yen Tofu Noodles (both were about 40 baht) which they assembled in front of us. They rely on tofu and mock meats which is a treat every now and then. I enjoyed both of these noodle dishes although they weren't the best I've had in town.
For the price you pay and convenience, it's a haven for vegans and somewhere worthwhile to check out.

Best Curry and super cheap vegan - Edit
All dishes are vegan, super Curry is not spicy, but others meal you should ask. We visited Ming Kwas three times. Good choose was also tofu stir fried Banana leaves. All restaurant is Vegan, but some packed cakes are with eggs. Restaurant is located in wide center of Chiang Mai. A Lot of local also go here for a meal. We also buy dry bananas as snack.

Very cheap food - Edit
A standard Thai eatery with very low prices. Taste is good and all cooked food should be vegan, but beware of the products on shelves, many of them contain animal products. Food gets completely cold in the afternoon. Tofu with mung beans was delicious.

Local - Edit
Came here for lunch. It’s buffet style with rice and you can add sides. We got a glass noodle side and some greens. Decent but Ming Zhen is better. Cost was 40thb for rice with 2 sides. The price for the plate lunch isn’t really posted. You go up after you eat and pay. Has water. Cash only

Amazing vegan Restaurant - Edit
Apparently there is no honey in this food, and the ladies assure me that it is all vegan. This is the best restaurant I can find in Chiang Mai. The food is much cheaper and tastier than anywhere (and believe me, I've looked). This style of vegetarian buffet is qiire common around Thailand, and usually just slightly cheaper. However, considering the hiked tourist prices in Chiang Mai, this is really good value. I couldn't recommend it more. Note: This is buffet style, but the food is dished up at your request, then the price is calculated. I've paid between 45 and 85 baht, depending on the portion size.

fantastically friendly - Edit
I popped in here for a quick bite before visiting Wat Phra Singh. Was greeted so warmly by the staff, they seem genuinely happy to see new customers. Got the Khao Soi, served from a big hot pot for 35 baht (I think). You add your own herbs, pickles, chilli and other condiments from the table near the front counter. It was hearty and comforting with chunks of carrot, potato, and mock chicken. The fried noodles on top could have been a little crisper but the soft noodles in the soup were nice and silky. In the late afternoon there were quite a few tourists eating at big wooden benches and a few nuns came in for takeaway. A popular place for a hearty meal, watching the world go by on the bustling street outside.

There are so many options here and everything is vegetarian! The mushroom-based meat substitutes are particularly good, and the khao soi is the best we had of dozens of places in Northern Thailand. And it's cheap!
