Delicious, spicy and great portions!

Love the variety of food and the taste. The fried rice portions are substantial - we had three people and had trouble finishing one (along with two other dishes). The food is actually nicely spicy as well, although you do have to ask for it to be hot, and they have a great selection of fresh smoothies as well. Highly recommend the long eggplant and Thai miso stir fry as well, it's great and super savory!

Pros: Long eggplant and Thai miso stir fry, Thai basil fried rice , Massamam curry

Cons: No air conditioning (though ample fans) , Up a staircase (no elevator)

Best red curry!

Fantastic menu! Everything is vegetarian and the vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. We tried the pumpkin red curry and tofu cashew sweet and sour stir fry - both were delicious. We would love to come back and try everything else. The restaurant isn't massive inside (maybe 10 tables) but service is fast so if they're busy and you can't get a spot, I'd recommend waiting around for one to open - the food is worth it!

Pros: Great vego/vegan menu, Good prices, Delicious food

Rude waitress

When I ordered the Thai basil fried rice, the waitress asked if egg was ok, I said “no, add extra tofu in place of eggs”. She then added egg and accused me of the error.
Terrible attitude.
In addition. No toilet paper in the poorly maintained bathroom.

I’d suggest to write your dietary restrictions in a translator to avoid disappointment.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Rude, Terrible attitude when confronted, Poorly maintained

Slightly disappointing

Food was lacking taste and the drinks were oversweet.
You can get better food in Chiang Mai for this money.
Slow service.

Highly rate

Very tasty vegan dishes, food is very fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend sweet and sour tofu/ vegetables with cashew dish and the massaman curry. Only con is no white rice, but can get white rice noodles as a side for cheap instead. Excellent chef and delicious food!

Pros: Flavourful, tasty, healthy food

Delicious and many options

It was hard to choose because there are so many options. Includes vegetable dishes, tofu dishes, tempeh dishes and soups. Green curry was delicious!

Yum!

Though a little on the expensive side, you get what you pay for as Anchan uses fresh quality ingredients to make their mouth-watering Thai dishes. Their tempeh is made in house and is a must-try! I hosted a vegan meetup here a couple months back and the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly--answering our questions, accomodating special requests, and even sharing some trade secrets. I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

Excellent Thai food

Pure vegetarian restaurant just off the main road. Great serving sizes and excellent prices. Note that it is on the first floor. English menus with English speaking staff.

Open as at August 2022.

Best vegan food in Chiang Mai!!

Where do I start? The atmosphere is awesome and great for a nice night out. Everything is very reasonably priced and the food is AMAZING! Try the butterfly pea pad Thai it’s a nice twist on traditional pad Thai and is nothing short of boring.

Delicious vegan / vegetarian Thai food

Very friendly owners. I arrived at 7:50 P.M., so just before the closing time of 8:00 P.M. but, the owner was super welcoming. Customized food for without egg. Had the Red Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, Tom Yum (really nice), Fried Veggies and Mixed Berries drink. Everything was very tasty

Pros: Biggg portion sizes, Parking easy to find around the place, Friendly owners

Entre os 5 melhores de Chiang Mai

Lugar muito agradável! Fomos jantar no Anchan em uma noite muito agradável, então foi possível ficar na sacada.
A comida é deliciosa e muito fresca. Mesmo com muito movimento, o nosso pedido chegou rápido e quentinho!
Como nós adoramos a comida Thai, pedimos um prato muito interessante, que foi o Butterfly Pea Pad Thai (o noodles é violeta) e um delicioso e aromático Fried Rice.
Se você estiver pela região do Nimman, não deixe de ir comer no Anchan.

My favourite vegan restaurant in CM!

Located down a quiet soi off Nimman road. Delicious food, no matter what you order.. honestly everything on the menu is good here, and so so tasty.. a lot id vegan restaurants can be a bit bland but they use the right level of spice and seasoning here.

Has great smoothies too, and a changing dessert menu made daily.

Pros: Too many good dishes, try what you want!

Cons: Slightly expensive, smallish restaurant!

good place to visit

this is one of the place where you can go once and you will not regret if you will not vist it again. generally it is ok, good quality, good taste but it is nothing „woow” like on other vegan places (that is my personal opinion);
on the end everyobe should vist it to make own decision;

Pros: lot of vegan and vegetarian options, clear menu with marked veg options, probably one of the best place in his area

Cons: meals are good but thats it

Best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Chiang Mai

Over the 5 years I've been visiting Chiang Mai, Anchan remains the best value, tastiest Asian food I've found. Actually it's just got better over the years, now with a great range of dishes on offer: curries, stir fries, salads, juices etc. Some of my favs are Miso aubergines, Green curry and Indian curry. I've never had a bad meal.

The produce is of high quality, clean kitchen, everything cooked freshly to order. Great prices. Lovely, lovely staff.

Pros: Great range of delicious Thai food, Wide choice, Cosy feel with indoor and outdoor space

Cons: Can get busy, Food cooked to order so you can wait at busy times, No air con, but lots of fans

Went with family and friends. Cosy restaurant with 1 cook and 1 service staff , so expect to wait 15-20mins. Food is good though.

Serves brown rice only. No white rice.

Pros: Delicious food. , Big serving portion, Generous with vegetables

Cons: Slow service
