"Delicious, amazing, well priced place- five star!"   My Rating
1 VeganGirls	Posted on: Wednesday, August 12, 2009
	Review: Ethos is one of the highlights of eating in Bangkok, for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Located in a quite, charming alley near the hub of Khao San Rd, it is a scrumptious escape with delicious food, great variety, good value, a lovely atmosphere and free Wifi. The food is an oral orgasm! We've been there many times on multiple trips, and the highlights definitely are: - The Vegan Lasagna: made with silky tofu and richly-flavoured vegetables, and served with... - Garden Salad: sure, it's just lettuce, cucumbers, tomato and cabbage; but what makes this the best salad in Bangkok is the drool-worthy dressing. Ask for extra dressing!! - The Banana/Coconut Cream Shake: Oh. My. Goodness. This is the most mind-blowing drink on the menu. Simply amazing. - The Arabic Iced Mint Tea: Cool, refreshing, unique and cheap. What more could you ask for? - The Chocolate Cake with Vegan Coconut Cream: moist, rich and mouth-watering. Enough said. - The Apple Crumble served with Coconut Custard: WOW! The crumble is crumbly, the apple is perfect, the coconut custard is creamy and smooth... in a nutshell, this dessert is to die for. In fact, it's worth travelling across Bangkok for, if not the whole of Thailand! Whether or not you usually eat vegetarian/vegan food, go to Ethos. It's worth it. Your taste buds will be doing a happy dance for the rest of the day!! P.S. In response to some of the negative comments from the past: the owner of Ethos has since changed and turned the whole place around. It has an amazing menu, is a great place to relax, and offers free internet to boot without the pressure of having to order. If you find the service is slower than you'd like, simply go up to the waiter, manager or any other staff member and tell them what you want! A big smile and friendly attitude will get you everywhere, as with anywhere in Thailand :-)   Pros: Excellent Food & Great Value * Fantastic Variety * Free Wifi & Lovely Atmosphere Cons: Occassionally slow service * *

"nice calm retreat in bangkok"   My Rating
2 emmers	Posted on: Tuesday, August 04, 2009
	Review: This place has a really nice welcoming chilled out vibe. The food is simple and wholesome (the bun for the veggie tofu burger was freshly baked - the burger was really good). My girlfriend had the aloo gobi and we also tried the sweet n sour tofu - both of these were really good. Nothing stunning, but a really nice little veggie/vegan restaurant all the same, especially if you're missing western food or are struggling to find decent veggie food in Bangkok. I live in Bangkok and will definitely be eating here again!   Pros: Nice atmosphere * Clean * Not expensive Cons: * *

"Great for vegans"   My Rating
12 Lucylu	Posted on: Sunday, July 19, 2009
	Review: Down the little alley that seems to have become a haven for vegan/vegetarians away from the seedy Thanon Khao San. This is a little gem. Really friendly staff and the food is yummy. They understand what a vegan is, so there is no need to worry about hidden extras! The place is a little ramshackle and some of the seats are a little uncomfortable, but that just adds to its charm! I recommend the chocolate cake if you are missing a piece of home, as this is not the traditional quisine by any stretch of the imagination! Give it a go! Oh and also try the fresh juices, you can trust them not to add the local water!!!   Pros: great food * friendly staff * good cake Cons: little scruffy * *

"My new favorite place.."   My Rating
13 sunbaby08	Posted on: Monday, July 13, 2009
	Review: Usually when I make the journey over to Khao San Road, May Kaidee's is my restaurant of choice...until a few weeks ago. Wow, this place is awesome! The veggie burger and panang curry were amazing, and the "famous" apple crumble coconut cream dessert did not disappoint -- it was by far the best dessert i've ever had in my life. If the BTS went to khao san road i would probably be at this place every night. Highly recommend!   Pros: Extensive Menu * Friendly Staff * Nice Ambiance Cons: Limited Seating * *

"Best veggie-burger in the world & free wifi"   My Rating
1 ads223	Posted on: Thursday, December 11, 2008
	Review: Their veggie-burger is seriously the best I have ever tasted, and I am a connoisseur of such things :) Their drinks are also great - their iced tea is made with fresh (mint?) leaves. Also, its totally chill - I was there for hours surfing their free very fast wifi, and they never pressured me to buy anything beyond the burger. They are located right next to Khao Sahn Road, on the burger kind side (make left at burgerkind, take first alley on right and don't be fooled by the other "vegetarian" restaurant you see first.)   Pros: Free wifi * Comfortable seating * Best food ever Cons: * *

"Fantastic Place"   My Rating
2 LilacHippy	Posted on: Saturday, November 29, 2008
	Review: I would highly recommend this place. It has a lovely atmosphere, really great food, and is a really nice escape from the hustle of Khoa Sahn Road as it's totally unique. Good prices and the vege food is delicious and it even has a quick Thai lesson on the menu for ordering vege food! Almost considering a trip down from where I live in Chiang Mai just to visit this place again.   Pros: Good food * Good price * Good atmosphere Cons: None * *

"To Die For!"   My Rating
1 wyndance	Posted on: Friday, April 04, 2008
	Review: I have eaten at Ethos, on the street behind Burger King, about 5 times on this trip. The service is quick, the food is excellent! The apple crumble with coconut cream custard is TO DIE FOR! I haven't ordered desseert in a restaurant for about 25 years because I don't like the cheap nutritionless ingredients. I ordered the apple crumble here because it has wholesome ingredients, and it was well worth it. The people are very friendly. The Ethos burger is excellent. Everything I've had here has been great. I can't understand the poor reviews unless it was before the present owner took over.   Pros: Excellent food * Friendly service * Good prices Cons: * *

"Great Place!"   My Rating
2 amonroea	Posted on: Wednesday, March 19, 2008
	Review: Upon arriving in Bangkok I was hungry and exhausted, and relieved to find Ethos easily with direction from other reviews. Ethos has a wide range of Thai and Indian food. I really liked the laid back atmosphere. They have lots of quotes on cruelty-free lifestyles, which was very refreshing. I loved the Aloo Gobi and Dal, but the Pakora wasn't great. They have brown rice, which is a rarity when traveling in Thailand. I also recommend the oatmeal with coconut milk - yum!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"What's Not Great?"   My Rating
1 roryjohnso n	Posted on: Monday, February 18, 2008
	Review: I was after some true western food. It has it - a very big range - as well as Thai food. And cooks it well. It's really cheap too, and not at all hectic.   Pros: cheap * tasty * relaxed Cons: language barrier * *

"Ethos at Khao San Rd"   My Rating
14 Raydoggy	Posted on: Friday, January 25, 2008
	Review: I am astonished that someone could write a negative review about Ethos. I was so happy with the place that I left double my usual tip. The food was great, free internet, very nice chilled atmospher, easy to meet others. The spring rolls are to die for, as is the Tom Kha soup. It was a real oasis for me. I didn't notice a waiting problem, but even if I did, the food would have been worth the wait. Total thumbs up, I just wish I had found Ethos earlier in my BangKok stay. By the way, just around the corner from Khao San Rd, when you go down to the end of the lane, turn left and it's about three shops down on the right. Don't go to the first veg cafe straight ahead, as it also has meat dishes. Just love those Ethos spring rolls. Also, for westerners, the prices are ridiculously cheap for what you get.   Pros: Chilled Ambience * Tasty fresh food * Free internet Cons: Slightly hard to find * *

"Impressive menu but little to show for it"   My Rating
7 marikasaa	Posted on: Saturday, January 19, 2008
	Review: I visited Ethos only once and after spending some time in Bangkok felt like something western for a change. Sadly the restaurant lacked ingredients: I would have wanted some tofu burger and fries, mango lassi and chocolate cake with home-made ice cream but the waiter told me they only had tofu burgers. So I opted for a pineapple shake (mmm, great) and did a little internetting (it's free here) in this cool atmosphere and went someplace else to dine.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"tried it twice"   My Rating
1 teamwinker	Posted on: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
	Review: and was disappointed both times. the first time we went in simply for dessert, cake and a smoothie, should be quick, right? no! they had no coconut to make the smoothie i wanted so i settled on another. there was only one server and it took us 40 minutes to get a slice of chocolate cake. the cake was really good, so we decided to try it again thinking maybe it was just an off day. this time it was busier but we gave it a shot. after waiting about 45 minutes, noone acknowledged us. no menu, no nods, nothing. i went up to the owner and inquired if i had to place my order with him and he made it seem like he would be doing me a favor if i got a slice of cake within another hour because this is a place to relax and chill. i understand this concept, but this should be somewhere on the menu. i appreciate the ambiance and simplicity of the restaurant settings, but management needs to rethink their service and treatment of customers.   Pros: ambiance * varied menu * Cons: bad service * *

"don't bother"   My Rating
2 bowburn	Posted on: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
	Review: we tried both the thai and western food here and they were both pretty bad. A very poor veggie lasagne and some 3rd right tom yum. It had just changed hands though so maybe the new owner will improve things. Avoid it though and go to mai kedees across the road, you won't be disappointed. We had to wonder if the owners of ethos had ever eaten there. they should.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"friendly laid back kind of place"   My Rating
8 Lek	Posted on: Monday, November 26, 2007
	Review: And a very good place to relax, and enjoy your evening. We ate here several times while in Bangkok, and suggested it to friends. Everytime we ate here, we fell into casual chats with those around us, as it has such an open atmosphere. Though the service is slow, and there was only one man we every saw serve, cook and clean, he was super friendly. The Shepherd's pie and chai made for a nice light dinner.   Pros: Comfortable seating * Diverse menu * delicious food Cons: Service is slow * *

"Great food and coffee"   My Rating
10 checkers	Posted on: Monday, April 16, 2007
	Review: I thought the food here was the best in the Khao San Rd area. Vegan and vegetarian. The Thai curries, curried rice, and Indian were really nice and they have organic brown rice which is a nice change. It's so fresh and consistant (not the re-heated oily stuff you get at other places). The homous is not the finest but everything else I would recommend.   Pros: Relaxed atmosphere * Free Wi-fi * Friendly staff Cons: * *
