Loved it! - Edit
Cute atmosphere. Cozy floor seating with cushions. The food was really tasty! We went 2 nights in a row for the vegan dumplings. They were amazing! Service can be a little slow, but the food is worth it.
Pros: Atmosphere , Food quality , Lots of vegan options
Cons: Slow service

Enjoyed it - Edit
Had a beet root juice – which was so purple it was almost black. Pretty sure I'm stocked on nitrates for 2017. Shared a steamed ginger tofu, which was mild but good. Then had the steamed veggies salad which comes with a black sesame dressing. This was awesome. Try it if you're tired of spice. Lots of flavour without the chilli. We sat upstairs on the pillows. Wifi signal is strong.
Pros: Delicious, Tasty, Wifi

Rustic but nice Thai asian fusion - Edit
The food is good with traditional Thai, and other asian cuisine. My favorite is some crispy deep fried leaves, sounds weird but tastes lovely. They do a nice cashew nut sushi, fried gyoza style dumplings, tofu laab and fresh spring rolls with nice shakes.
There is a nice upstairs bit you can sit on the floor thai style.
Pros: amazing crispy leaves, centrally situated, it's good sample of food of the region
Cons: slow service

Sad we didn't come earlier! - Edit
We had been in Chiang Mai for two weeks and finally on our last night decided to give this restaurant a try. To be honest, the place smells and looks bit dirty or maybe it's just old. Anyway, it was nicer to sit upstairs and the service was quick and friendly. And the food: amazing. We took papaya salad, fresh spring rolls and stir fried pumpkin with no oil, and they all tasted so good. Definitely should have tried Aum earlier.
Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff, Cooked with oil if you ask
Cons: Old place

Delicious Dinner - Edit
We had our last meal in Thailand at Aum. The menu is clear but the staff did not speak any English so we were a bit confused, there is apparently an upstairs and the food, cutlery, etc, came out in a rather random order. The selection was wide, food delicious and service quick.
Pros: Wide selection, Quality, Cost
Cons: Random serving order

shocking - Edit
Omg. Before the food came we are sitting at a table UPSTAIRS and an 8 inch long RAT runs by our table and down the stairs. This sucker was upstairs! Didnt come in off the street. Left his room to go to kitchen. On the bright side the food was pretty good.
Pros: food is good
Cons: bad company. RATS

Tasty food, great atmosphere - Edit
Really enjoyed our meal here, so much to choose from. Everything we had was tasty and was finished very quickly! Traditional Thai seating on the floor upstairs. Good atmosphere. Located near to the East Gate.

gooood clean food - Edit
I just ate the steamed veggie salad, steamed sweet potatoes, and avocado maki, and after months of oily food in Asia, my tummy and my skin are so happy. They have greasy stuff too though so don't worry if that's what you're into :) really friendly staff too.
Pros: oil free options , friendly staff , lots of vegan

nice vego restaurant opposite Thapae Gate - Edit
family operated vego restaurant with heaps of vegan options ... staff speak basic English, are friendly and will assist with food choices ... there is an upstairs area (must take off shoes) ... I have been going to Aum over a 3 year period and found the food to be good in both quantity and quality and the pricing moderate
Pros: lots of vegan options, nice staff
Cons: near a busy road so very few parking options

Good food, but dirty - Edit
We ordered some nice vegan food and it tasted well. Still not very exciting, but OK. The people seem not very happy with their work.. and the toilet is very dirty.

Great thai salads - Edit
I had a great salad made of mushrooms and my spouse had salad with eg. green eggplant (they weren not those small thai eggplants, more like European dark eggplant). Both salads tasted great. They were thai-style and well seasoned.
Since the review above I´m been to Aum so many times and I haven´t been disappointed. Their prices are good, food is good (especially I like salads) and the location is great just next to Thapae Gate. It´s just so hot inside sometimes, but sure air-con would mean more expensive prices.
Remember to order Khao soi vegan, without egg noodles. Khao soi there is a bit too sugary to my taste (khao soi needs to be sweet curry).

best vegan food chiang mai - Edit
Hands down the best vegan restaurant I went to in Chiang Mai. Everything is so fresh and healthy that I could order tons of different dishes and still be hungry (which is a good thing so i could try more things.) Love the fresh rolls, papaya salad, pumpkin and seaweed salad makis, mango sticky rice and the blue rice. This is a must for vegans in Chiang Mai.

disappointing - Edit
Heard a lot of good things about this place but was sadly disappointed by both the service and food here. One member of staff in particular was very rude and unhelpful. Food wasn't great either and was left with food poisoning afterwards.. If from AUM I don't know..
