Everything super delicious

MUST TRY YELLOW CURRY WITH TOFU. Best curry I have ever had. We tried many dishes here and everything was so delicious, the portions are very big.

The restaurant operates in random hours, so expect a hit or miss. Usually around 5PM-7PM is open for sure.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap, Best yellow curry you’ll ever have

Cons: Unreliable opening hours

Nice place

Small and sweet restaurant. Not many options but everything can be ordered as a vegetarian option. They have tofu. Prices are perfectly low.

Versteckter Veggie Traum

Man wartet zwar etwas länger auf sein Essen, aber die Leute dort waren wahnsinnig freundlich. Der Preis super günstig für die Menge und die Qualität die man geboten beommt. Top!!

Pros: viele vegane Optionen, große Portionen, freundlich ohne Ende

So. Dang. Delicious.

10/10 would recommend. After being on this part of the island and eating the worst quality of food everywhere, this place is life saving. I wish I knew about it from day one. Got the yellow curry, papaya salad, pad Thai, and spring rolls and everything was AMAZING. Literally the best curry I’ve ever tasted it was so creamy and delicious. And priced like any other Thai place (each dish was about 60 baht) Don’t waste your time eating anywhere else trust me

Pros: Delicious and good quality , They take their time makin it and you can taste it, NO FISH SAUCE WOOOO

Cons: None. Absolutely amazing. , The website won’t let me give it 5 stars

Very good food

My sister and I are here every day when we stayed in Haad Rin! Very good food, and lots of choice on the menu for vegans! Owners are lovely as well. The prices are very good for the area as well!

Would recommend he alright rolls, massaman curry and green curry. Pad Thai is also very good, but I’m a sucker for green curry! Mango sticky rice is also a must!

One thing to bear in mind is that it’s a small kitchen, so if it is busy and people have ordered before you, prepare to wait. If it isn’t busy then service will be very quick! All freshly made😄

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty food, Cheap

Cons: Serves meat

Fresh, Delicious Thai Food, Well Priced

I had a great meal tonight at Pure Joy. It's a little hard to find but so worth it! Start from the main street in Haad Rin Beach's center, the one that runs parallel to the beach. Look for the corner with swimsuit store Amazonia 1976. Turn up this street and walk a half block or so and you'll see Pure Joy on the left. It's a cute little place with cheerfully painted tables; the owner speaks some English and has a huge smile.

I had the massaman curry and it was delicious, obviously freshly prepared with fresh ingredients served piping hot. Almost everything on the menu is marked as being able to be made vegan so I had lots to choose from. The owner brought me a plate of complimentary fruit for dessert: rambutan, mangosteen and longan, a delightful ending to my meal.

There is not much vegan food on this part of the island and what there is seems to be greasy and fairly flavorless. My dinner at Pure Joy was a welcome change: delicious, flavorful and fresh. In my four days on this part of the island it was the best meal I've had!
