Nice roadside stop

Owner was very nice and knowledgeable about veganism. Had pad Thai, pad see ew, and spring rolls. All quite good, though I’ve had better. I’d give a true 4 star. Maybe a bit bland because they omit some ingredients rather than specializing on vegan./veg.

Pros: Convenient location w parking , Diverse menu

Cons: Food too oily, Flavours a bit lacking

Loved the food

It’s one lady cooking out of her home I’m pretty sure and she’s the only one cooking so when it’s busy it’s a bit longer of a wait but the food is amazing.

Everything tasted very fresh and everyone we were with enjoyed their meals too. We got a mango shake for the drink and banana shake (ask for the banana shake with soy milk). The banana shake is the only shake with milk.

This place was my favourite massaman curry since being in Thailand and the owner was lovely with certain allergies in our group as well.

Best Curry!!! Don’t miss it 5/5

This place offers traditional Thai dishes for a good price. I love the concept that you write down your order and also choose between spicy levels from 1-4!
I order Thai spicy and got Thai spicy! Finally a place that understands authentic food
Delicious green curry - I highly recommend this place!!!
The price is great 90thb. Opening hours are every day except Sunday (day off) from 12-9. It is not closed anymore
You can choose if you want to have only veg or tofu and veg.
Outdoor seating only. There’s no sign so just look on the map.
Wifi offered for free
Only downside: their dogs! I love dogs, but if you’re afraid that’s probably a restaurant you should not visit. They are running around freely and are big! They bit in my handbag and legs - only to play don’t worry! But if you’re afraid better don’t go

I hope the owner reads this and maybe put them on a leash or train them so it is better to dine here!
Food is outstanding
Best green curry of my life 😃

Nice Food

This is a family-run Thai restaurant with friendly staff and owners. They are helpful and understand vegan and can pretty much make any dish vegan, as stated on the menu.
We ordered spicy and was pleased that they did actually make them spicy unlike so many other places.
Food is cheap and portions are large but I found the taste to be fairly average.
I would definitely go back due to the large portions and cheap prices.

Probably one of the best value for money option in Pha-ngan

OK it's not a vegan and not even a vegetarian restaurant but it's probably the place I enjoy the most.
Thai, delicious and reasonably-priced food. Most of the menu can be made vegan.
They serve big portion and Ying is a nice lady.
My favorite dish is the massaman curry. The best I've tried in Asia so far.
Expect to pay 100 baths for curry rice.

Pros: Excellent value for money

Cons: Not 100% vegetarian

Fantastic range of tasty vegan options, great setting!

We have been going since 2014 and never had a bad meal, pretty much anything can be veganised and if you do at quiet times (3-6pm) special requests might be accommodated. Ying is one of the nicest and most authentic people on the planet.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty, authentic, decently priced, Very much loved 5 dogs and a cat, mostly rescues

Cons: You might end up eating there all the time :), Can be very busy, be prepared to wait.

Authentic and tasty

Lovely place. Very friendly staff. No special veggie menu, but all of the meals can be ordered without meat or oyster sauce. You can choose your preferred spice-level (up to thay-spicy). Clear recommendation, go there and enjoy great food.

Pros: Pad Mama (fried instant noodles with vegetables)

Very delicious food!

Very lovely staff and place. They understand what “vegan” means, which was amazing for us, as we found this place late last night when we arrived to the Island - starving! Very cheap food - about 80-100 baht for a main dish. Can definitely recommend the Massaman curry with tofu - vegan edition and spicy. And also the chili basil dish with tofu was amazing. You choose your own level of spicyness and which “protein source” you want - the vegan options are either tofu or vegetables. Would give it 5 stars if all vegan :)

Pros: Easy to find, They have tofu!, Cheap

Cons: Smoking is allowed (ash trays on tables)
