It is what it is; mall food. On the other hand, it's verrry cheap and tasty and worth the 30 or 50 baht for a couple things with rice that you pay. Eat here once a week at least,
Pros: cheap, premade, fastIt's brilliant. It's easy to find coz it's in MBK right by the station.
It's cheap. You buy coupons at the central counter and cash them in for food at the serving stalls. You will be staggered how much you get for the money.
We've been back to Bangkok a few times since our first review and always find this stall again for their reliable, cheap good food.
Their grilled tofu platter with pickled ginger is fantastic but actually everything is really tasty. Some dishes are quite spicy and you can help yourself to spicy sauces and chillis to add on top!
OK, it's in a brightly-lit shopping centre food hall and MBK is always busy and noisy, so it can feel a bit like being back in a school canteen but you will eat alongside Thai people as well as visitors and the quality of this place beats any UK Food Court fare!
As another reviewer suggests, we get a fresh juice from the stall opposite the veggie stand. All very cheap.
Updated from previous reviews Dec 2012.
If you're stranded in MBK this is the place to eat. Good vegan food, but the surroundings is noisy. You can choose between different dishes in the stall, just point. Two different dishes with rice is around 50 baht (buy the coupons at the coupon desk). There is loads of spices to secure a hot meal! The downside is the location and the noise, but all in all a nice place to grab a quick lunch!
Pros: FastThe Vegan stall at MBK is a nice canteen style booth with about 8-10 dishes to choose from. They have a good selection normally including green curry, laab, tofu with ginger and Tom Kaa(white coconut curry with galangal)
Brown rice and 3 helpings(one helping is about one ladle of food) is around 60 baht. Ideal for a cheap charlie like me. It's a bit noisy but you can walk over to a slightly quieter(quieter not quiet) area of the food court. There is a nice fruit juice/ fruit shake stall at the food court too.
It's a food court so you need to buy coupons first and exchange the left over coupons afterwards.
Pros: Cheap, ConvenientThe food here was excellent and good value. Unexpected for a food court. Loved everything I tried and went back on more than one occasion. Note that before you can get your food you need to buy coupons from one of the stands. You can exchange any unused tokens for cash after you are done.
Pros: Fast, Excellent QualityStall C8 on the 6th floor of MBK is still doing reliably tasty (and often spicy) buffet-style vegetarian food.
It's great value. Choose from about half a dozen pre-made dishes. Brown rice.
Get there early for both better selection and hotter (temperature) food.
If 45-baht meal there doesn't fill, try the dumpling stand just near the escalator to top up.
There's another stall (across the sea of tables) that does fresh juices, and one next to it that does fruit desserts.
Pros: Tasty vegan food, Great valueI actually got sidetracked coming here the first time and ended up in the veg stall on the floor below. I prefer this one, got there at the right time and there was some fantastic selection, really delicious authentic Thai veg foods in a similar style to Aroi. Like others have said, timing is important - if you get here late then pickings will be slim.
Pros: great Thai veg, spicy, convenientI'm always courious if there's a vegetarian kiosk when I enter a mall's food-court in Thailand. This time, I knew it before, thank's to Happycow, great work by the way. The C8, 6th floor at MBK is still veggi. They offer over 10 dishes ready to eat. I was going for the pumpkin curry and the green thai-beans with tofu-balls. Costs me 45 Bath including rice. Nothing to complain about. Will be back.
Pros: Location, PriceI've been to Thailand a fair few times now and the wife and I love this place. It's a bit of an instituation for us.
It's a food court place but the food is nice. They do fresh noodles and soup there as well.
The trick is to get there early. If you're there around closing time, well it's like any other food court outlet.
Important thing is that it's nice and convenient. If you're vegetarian or Vegan and it's your first trip in Bangkok, head over to MBK first. Get your strength up and then go exploring.
BTW, the food court operates on coupons.
A little Buddhist veggie gem in a huge "Food Court".
Shared seating - simple dishes - low prices.
I have eaten there literally dozens of times over the years - often with my children when they were young & I was based in Bangkok.
The place is quite clean enough / quite tidy enough for me.
The owners are a group of young Buddhists.
I have always has good / wholesome / nourishing / tasty food.
The customer base is local residents / local workers.
They serve food to hundreds of people every day.
You pay for the rice / hot dishes / soups - the salad items & pickles are free.
Tip - always take a few extra lemon / lime slices whenever you eat out in Asia & Squeeze them on salad / raw items - most places give them to you for free.
I ate only once there a tofu ginger plate and I was sick for 48 hours!
Didn't much rate the food here. It's a bit 'take-away'. The place is noisy and crowded but is handy if you're shopping in the MBK centre (which is recommended as they sell everything you could possible need, clothes, watches, bags, without being at tourist prices).
Pros: easy to find, in the MBK Centre, cheap
