Tasty, good value & quick - Edit
The food was good, with plenty of the day's choices being vegan (no menu, but staff can point out what is vegan). It is buffet-style so you are served immediately, so great for a quick lunch.
Read moreUpdate: back again 2 years later. The food was just as good and the indoor seating area is now air conditioned!

Delicious, cheap, vegan lunch - Edit
The people working at this cafe were very friendly and helpful in showing us what to avoid as vegans. You buy a plate with up to four different vegetable/noodle dishes and there's free clear thin but delicious soup. Bring your tray through the swinging doors into a thankfully cool eating room. It was interesting to see various people who seemed to live or work in the neighborhood bringing their own boxes/tins in and having them filled up to bring home. Recommended!

Really tasty Vegan food - Edit
There are lots of vegan options here. The staff are really accommodating and friendly. If you tell them you are vegan, they will tell you which dishes you can and can’t have as some of their dishes have egg. Really reasonable priced too! We loved it so much we have eaten there nearly every day we have been in Kuching!

Best vegan food in Kuching - Edit
We are so excited about this restaurant. As you enter, you will be greeted by a sign saying "no meat allowed". 😍 At the buffet someone comes and explains the dishes and which of them are vegan or vegetarian. And then the whole thing tastes really delicious and is not expensive at all. Everything great!
Read morePros: Many vegan options and not expensive

“No meat allowed” - Edit
I entered in a monsoon storm and was greeted by the lovely ladies, who asked if I was vegan then checked all the dishes for egg. Turns out everything was vegan that day, so I tried a bit of everything and went back for seconds!! A delicious mix of fresh tasting vegetables and various tofu/tvp products full of flavor and kick. It was exactly what I needed. Comfortable temperature too.
Read morePros: Lots of options , Delicious food, Friendly staff
Cons: Pay by weight, but it’s still cheap, Drinks in disposable plastic cups with straw

excellent selection - Edit
Amazing veggie cafe, really friendly staff, good selection of buffet food for lunch time and a small set menu for when buffets finished. i used to call in on my way to work a lot around 3ish and you could fill a tub up for rm5 but sometimes nothing left so a gamble.

So thankful for this place!! - Edit
With very friendly and helpful owners, this place is amazing for vegans and veggies.
Read moreThe owner carefully pointed out which dishes we could not have (about 4) and we wolfed the rest. They weigh your plate and you pay before you eat. An absolute god send in Kuching where there is very little veggie food by the river.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly owners, Cheap food

Lovely place - Edit
I really like this place. It's a great local, low price range cafe, always busy with locals and tourists.
Read moreThey have a buffet until 1.30pm, and after that you can order from the menu. The buffet seems to be around 60% vegan - the owner is really friendly and is happy to confidently point out exactly which dishes contain egg (she knows exactly what vegan means, which is great in Kuching!) On the menu i would recommend the crispy goose/duck with rice, only rm5 and delicious.
They also sell fresh soy bean milk and some cold teas.
Pros: Friendly knowledgable staff, Cheap, Lots of vegan options
Cons: Only open until 4pm

friendly service - Edit
we went late (around 2pm) and the buffet was essentially empty. The staff spoke decent English however and we're happy to make us something fresh. we asked them to make it spicy and wound up with a fiery fried rice dish and a noodle soup which had some tofu balls, mock meat and what looked like udon noodles for rm 11 total. The food was tasty, filling and cheap. Make sure to specify no egg if you're vegan.
