Nutritious, healthy but lacking flavour - Edit
This place looked pretty in the pictures online but when we got here, although the space was bright and attractive, the menu was a bit boring and samey. I am bearing in mind that the business has a focus on nutrition and therapeutic food, but in the late morning, when I wanted something light, very little on the menu appealed. We started with drinks, which actually did look refreshing: instead of the more reliable butterfly pea flower soda I tried a red fruity one. While it was a beautiful red colour, it literally had no taste, and was indistinguishable from water. We ordered a tempeh dish - not exactly what I wanted but perhaps better than other menu items - and an avocado wrap, made with a tortilla and cut into segments like sushi. Neither of these were very exciting. After we made our way through these I was still hungry so ordered the spaghetti bolognese, which was marginally tastier and more appetising. Finally, I has the fruit and yoghurt cup, which I’d had my eye on from the start. It was the best thing we had, but still not quite as creamy and nutty as I might have hoped. I understand nutrition is the focus here - the cafe is located in a hospital - and I want to support its mission to improve people’s health with food, but in terms of appeal, I was left a bit cold by the menu here.

Tonklar Facai - Edit
We do recognise that we are from Australia and the vegan food there is great, but the food here was not good at all to our taste. Maybe it's a Thai thing I'm not sure. The tempeh was not flavoured so tasted grose, Vegies were boiled, bland, and the broth was sweet like everything in Thailand TOO MUCH SUGAR! Purple rice bland no flavour. The spring rolls were uneatable, they had seaweed in them and paired with a creamy passion fruit flavoured sauce. Was just weird and horrible. We were the only customers bar 1. Don't go.
Read morePros: Fast service, Food was hot, Dessert ok
Cons: All of our dishes were not good, Tasted bad, Not recommending

Disappointing - Edit
I only had one dish and it seems unfair to judge a place on just that but my tempe stir-fry wasn't good. Weird flavours. Also a lot of the items on the menu weren't available - they had stickers on them which suggests it's a permanent unavailability. A bit pricey considering small portions.
Read morePros: Yay for vegan eatery in hospital, Good philosophy, Nice staff

Such a GEM! Must try! - Edit
Absolutely love the concept of this restaurant. The menu is so large, yet the food is so fresh and healthy. The presentation of their dishes is beautiful. The dishes are super creative and health-focused. The venue is super pretty, relax and natural looking. The staff is so friendly, even though their English is limited. Prices are very cheap for what you get (think Western style but Thai prices).
Read moreI went there twice and had an amazing experience!
The only downsides are that the restaurant is located at the entrance of a hospital and that they close rather early (7pm, last order at 6:30pm).
Some dishes were very good, and some others were ok but not mindblowing either. Thing is, the menu is so extensive and the prices so cheap that you can afford to try out a lot and have fun with it.
100% recommend!!

Healthy plant based food - Edit
A quick glance at the menu and you can tell these guys are serious about creating healthy vegan and plant based food. Nutritious ingredients throughout, with the dishes sounding vey exciting. We had a quick stop en route to the airport but managed to try three dishes. The chickpea Thai style curry, air fried spring rolls with passion mayo, and a local Thai dessert with pumpkin and coconut milk. Could not fault any of them, packed full of flavour and presented thoughtfully. It’s super close to Ari BTS so convenient even if you’re staying / living elsewhere. Well worth a visit.

Fresh, healthy, variety of foods - Edit
We had the tofu with tamarinde sauce and the recommended Thai rice dish, and 2 different kind of tempeh dishes. They have a very big menu, difficult to choose from😉It was all very fresh and good. Very nice people here. Doing their utmost best to serve you. The food was very good. The tempeh wasn’t really our taste but this is personal.

Nothing wow - Edit
The place looks nice (aesthetically), but unfortunately the taste is nothing out of this world.
Read moreI had a salad, which was lacking dressing as it’s not enough what they give you.
They also don’t speak English so it’s hard to explain them whether you want a spicy dish, so I ended up asking for chilli on the side.
Also the baked spring rolls were just not it. I was with 3 other people and no one could actually like them. That Wakame inside is just not tasty

Worth the little extra - Edit
Very nice small restaurant with green atmosphere. The menu has many many many choices and is a mix of traditional and modern. Even extra information about the advantages of some ingredients like tempeh, tofu, avocado and more. Menu also shows many whish criteria like low calorie, low sat fat, low sodium, high protein and more. Food quality is high and nothing is really fatty.
