excellent food

This place is really sweet and the owners are lovely. The prices are half of what you pay anywhere else in Kata, clocking in around 50-80 thb per main!
Do yourself a favour and check it out.
(Probably a good idea to call ahead/get your hotel to call ahead to check it is open as the first time we went there for dinner it had closed early.)

Pros: pure vegetarian food, mock meats, cheap prices

Cons: on a busy road so not quiet (not their fault just

Delicious vegetarian food from friendly family run restaurant

The biggest smiles and friendliest service was offered to me when I visited this delight. They have a good selection of mock meat dishes, local Thai dishes and all good value for money. I appreciated the recommendations made by the lady serving me, and later her daughter appeared to speak with me in English.

Pros: Very good variety of dishes on the menu, Tasty home cooked Thai food, Good value for money

Fantastic vegan food

This is a gem of a place for vegan travellers (the restaurant is 100% vegan). The menu (there is an English one, as well as one with photos) is extensive and every meal we tried was delicious. They have traditional Thai meals, as well as pasta dishes and dishes ideal for sharing, like tempura. No meal was more than 70 Baht, and many were as low as 50 Baht. This is truly great value for money. The restaurant is on a busy road so it is quite noisy, but the service is friendly, and there is free drinking water available.

Pros: Excellent food, Great value for money, Friendly service

Cons: On a busy road, so quite noisy

Loved it!

The food here is delicious, options change every day, prices are great, and the staff are all very friendly.

If you choose rice + 2 items from the bar, it should be 50-60 baht, depending on what you get. Options vary, change by the day, and I didn't try anything that I didn't like.

My only negative is that you can tell the food was cooked a while ago and isn't kept hot. The later you go, the cooler the food is. Could be improved.

However, GREAT food.

Closed Saturdays.

Pros: No meat, Friendly

Cons: Food isn't kept hot

Yummy vegan food

Sai Than Boon Vegetarian Restaurant
No sign in English > one banner that says Youta Vegetarian which I think is an ad for vegetarian mock meat products because I have seen the same banner at other veggie places.

(117/1?) 74 Patak Road, Karon, Phuket 83100 / within a kilometer North of Makro / opposite Ma La Tim Sum Restaurant / Beside Narin Food Halah Restaurant

Clean, spacious, open walls, fans.

Friendly and good service the first time we were there. Second time we dealt with waiting about 40 minutes for our food. There was only one other table of 2 in the whole restaurant and about 3 take-aways while we were there. They served dish after dish to the other table. 8 in all. They had mounds of food they had not eaten but the dishes kept coming. Of course they could have given us at least a dish or two in between the other table’s dishes. The other table was paying their bill as our first dish arrived. Welcome to Thai style cooking > focus on only one table at a time while the rest wait.
Great variety of Thai veggie food. Mock meats used. Dozens of dishes to choose from.

White rice only.

Lots of photos with Thai names in main menu so just go for what looks good.

In the small menu English names but not as many main dishes.

Highest priced meal is 100b > most are in the 60b to 80b range

Juice 30b good

Tofu and veggie soup I pointed to. 60b – good size bowl, very fresh veggies, nice light flavor. Very tasty.

Corn fritters 40B Tasty but oily

Fried veggie and yellow noodles 50b Very good flavor.

Veggie Tempura 70b average tasting

Vegetarian Pork with Kale 70b I do not remember what bacon tastes like – 45 years since I have eaten any – but the taste of the mock bacon was very good. I couldn’t get down the kale part of the dish because of the strong spiciness. My companion really enjoyed it.

If they were online with trip advisor and facebook so even more people would know about them, they would probably be full. Great selection and very inexpensive!

See photos for pictures of some of the menu.

6am to 8am
( call ahead as sometimes the restaurant is used for special Buddhist events and not open the general public.)

Pros: Good food, Bargain pricing , Variety

Cons: Need to get service timing worked out, On main road > traffic noise
