Thai food restaurant located opposite Bangkok Centre hotel, north of Rama 4 road, near Hua Lampong railway & MRTA station. Take subway to end at "Hau Lamphong" station, take exit 3, backtrack on Rama 4 (head east) for 70 meters to Soi Trokphrayasinghaseni, turn left, and the restaurant is on the right with a "vegetarian" sign written in English. Mostly vegan however reported serving egg noodles. Open Mon-Sun 10:00am-9:00pm.

If you want to experience an authentic Thai meal - this is the place to come! - Edit
The food here was great and the restaurant itself had a real authentic feel about it; which is what I was looking for coming to Thailand. The majority of customers in the restaurant were locals; which says it all.
Read moreWe ordered Fried Chicken, spicy mushroom salad, spicy stir fried duck and chicken and cashews. The fried chicken was unbelievable, and my partner and I both agreed that it was the best vegan fried chicken alternative we have ever tried. The chicken and cashew was fantastic, and came in a very moreish sauce. The spicy mushroom salad was had a great selection of mushrooms and native herbs which I love.
The food did take a long time to come but it is all cooked fresh (as is most food in Thailand), which is the main thing.

Vegetarian or vegan? - Edit
They’re advertised as a vegetarian restaurant yet everyone seems confident that they’re being served vegan food, despite owners knowing little English (and customers likely knowing little Thai). They have the “jae”symbol aka vegan symbol, but reviews have reported being served egg. I’m not really sure what’s vegan, but what I ate was good and there’s lots of options.

Must go if in the area - Edit
It‘s soo good for such a low price! The staff are hard-working and they offer such a variety of food and mock fish/meat, it was hard to choose what to eat. I came here twice during my stay in Bangkok because I loved the fried duck, it was so crispy and meaty. Seems like this place is popular among foreigners and locals, it was always full.

Its a nice restaurant - Edit
But so many 5 star reviews don‘t set realistic expectations. The staff is really nice, but we had much tastier food for even cheaper prices.

Disappointing Experience at Ruyi Vegetarian: Mixed Review Despite High Expectations - Edit
Food: 2/5
Read moreService: 2/5
Atmosphere: 2/5
Value for Money: 3/5
Location: 2/5
Extras: 1/5
Given the numerous positive reviews, our expectations were elevated due to the abundance of 5-star ratings. However, it seems we may have had an unfortunate experience with our menu choices, or the regular chef might have been absent during our visit. From our perspective, we cannot recommend this restaurant.
The surroundings of the restaurant gave us the impression of being relatively unkempt.
The "Chinese Iced Tea" had a strong chlorine smell and otherwise lacked any discernible taste.
For starters, we ordered seaweed and vegetarian spring rolls. The seaweed was still frozen and emitted a strong fishy smell, while the spring rolls were doughy and tasteless.
As a main course, we opted for Pad Thai. During our travels in Thailand, we had enjoyed better Pad Thai at other locations.
The service staff did not convey a motivated impression, actively avoiding eye contact.
IMPORTANT: Our aim is by no means to harm restaurants through our reviews. Our primary concern is to share honest opinions to enable a realistic assessment and prevent false expectations for potential guests. This transparency promotes an objective evaluation while simultaneously supporting outstanding performance in the hospitality industry.

Local vibe, excellent food! - Edit
Tucked down a street close to Hua Lamphong MRT. Popular with locals when I went, only a few tables and almost full at 6pm.
Read moreI had the Deep Fried Spring Rolls (70 THB) and the Tom Yum Soup (80 THB). Both absolutely incredible! The mock meats are something else. The spring rolls are filled with mock meats too making them even better than your usual veggie ones. So cheap too, I’d go back again and again!
Cash only.

It's everything very tasty, the people here are kind. I came here in the dinner and I couldn't resist and I came back for lunch. You should try the fried duck. Unbelievable. Price is good and there is a homemade tea for free.

Delicious Thai food, best Tom Yum - Edit
Ruyi is our go-to option for Thai food, simple and welcoming restaurant, or for take-away, Ruyi never fails to be delicious. The Tom Yum Hed is aroi maak maak, excellent spice. One of (if not THE) best Tom Yum vegan in Thailand. I also would recommend the fried chicken, morning glory, wontos, and fried rice.

This restaurant is a paradise for any vegetarian. Great thai food with "mock meat" for a good price. Redemption might be possible after all...
