Great Thai Food - Edit
Lovely owner, who is passionate about her food and knowledge on the vegan diet. She walked me through the whole menu which really got me excited for it. I had the Pad Thai and the crispy tofu salad. Both were delicious. I don’t tolerate spice well and she was able to tell me what would work and what wouldn’t.

Amazing food! - Edit
The food here was so good that we came back the next day for seconds. There are about 12 to 15 items on their menu that they can make vegan and the restaurant owner has these written down on a separate piece of paper that she gives you when you tell her you're vegan.
Read moreThe Pad Thai was the best Pad Thai we've had so far on our trip in Thailand - we both ordered these for our lunch the next day. Very tasty and large portion size as well.
We also had the Hung Lay Curry (a local dish from the Chiang Rai region apparently) and the chickpea crispy tofu and they were also both great. The flavours from the curry were next level and I'd definitely recommend it.
Overall I can wholeheartedly recommend this place. It'd be a 5 star review from me except Happy Cow won't let me (understandably as it serves non-vegan options) but they go above and beyond to cater for vegans compared to the vast majority of non-vegan restaurants. #Veganuary

Disappointing - Edit
After reading all the positive reviews, I had to try this restaurant that served vegan options and was rather disappointed. The food was mediocre, to say the least. I ordered the Hung Lay curry with tofu. My food arrived and there were 2 pieces of tofu in it. This was the dearest meal I had in Chiang Rai. I paid a total of 250 BHT for the curry and a soda. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I would have at least liked to have left the restaurant feeling full. There are much better options in the area.

Really good and well thought out vegan food - Edit
Lots of traditionally vegan foods as well as good choices to substitute meat for mushrooms on non vegan dishes.
Read moreYou probably won't be happy when you see the portion sizes but you'll no doubt be thrilled with the taste.
I highly recommend going for something you've never had because the owner tells you how it is meant to be eaten.
Pros: Taste, Lovely atmosphere , Nice experience

A MUST in Chiang Rai (5*) - Edit
The most delicious food I’ve had in Northern Thailand. The owner is so talented and welcoming. She explained which dishes are vegan at the start. Must try the Hung Lay Curry and the number 12 salad.

Beautiful food - Edit
Very small and cozy little place. The lady who helped us, possibly the owner, pointed out all the things that could be made vegan, and what was popular. She also pointed out that specific dishes are spicy because Chili is a main component. It says (sp) next to all dishes that are unable to be made non-spicy.
Read moreThe food came and it was beautiful, like 5 star dining beautiful.
This place is definitely a must try while in Chiang Rai

Thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor - Edit
The owner thoroughly explained the menu and showed us every item that is vegan. The dish was plated beautifully. A lot of thought goes into these recipes. We got the hung Kay curry and the Burmese crispy tofu salad. Omg. It was so flavorful. The salad is a must try. One of my favorite dishes I’ve tried. We weren’t 100% full after sharing these two entrees because the portion is very small, but I could see it being a reasonable portion if you aren’t too hungry or if you get 3 entrees for 2 people.

Curry- 180 baht (we got the more expensive option with naan)

Some of the best food I’ve had EVER - Edit
I wish I could give this place 10 stars. It’s a small restaurant where the friendly owner who speaks great English comes up to explain the menu and immediately asks about dietary restrictions. She listed off the vegan options what can be made vegan and there are plenty to chose from. I got the Burmese chickpea tofu salad and it was not only the best thing I’ve tried in my month in Thailand but one of the most flavorful and unique things I’ve tried ever!! I ordered a second one to go on the spot and so did my meat-eating partner. I got a traditional curry too which was also delicious, as well as homemade bergamot soda. Everything was delicious and the owner was so kind and attentive!! Absolutely check this place out.

Great food - Edit
Took two tries to get a seat here; the second time we came for an early dinner and didn’t have to wait too long. The owner was able to recommend dishes that were vegan/could be veganised and we ended up choosing more local ones: a curry and chapati dish, and a mushroom dish that you build yourself with lettuce as a wrap which was fun. Service was fairly quick.

Disappointed - Edit
I really don’t understand why when I ask for no spicy options they make it 2 times spicier 🙃
Read moreAll the spice just kills the taste of food and I’m very disappointed that even though the owner speaks perfect English I still get hella spicy dishes. Keep in mind that the place is very small and in the evening there are no free seats #Veganuary

Delicious menu! - Edit
The owner is super friendly and very clear on what vegan means. She’s got a few dishes she specifically recommends vegan travellers try, but there’s quite a lot of choice. The aubergine was honestly one of the best dishes I tried in Thailand.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, The owner clearly understands vegan, Tasty tasty!
Cons: It’s not a purely vegan restaurant…

Order everything!!! - Edit
First all, the owner is super helpful when it comes to the menu and tell you exactly what she can and can't do vegan.
Read moreWe came today and the food was... Amazing!!!
The best thing is, and no other place ever I've across that does it, offers small plates so you can try more dishes!
We ended up having 3 small plates and will be back to have more dishes, and have normal portions.
Coconut milk available.
*opening times may vary, as we walked past later, around 7pm and the place was shut with a sign 'sorry we sold out food, see you tomorrow at 11am'
Pros: Vegan options , Vegan - coconut milk , Small portions of food to try

Best vegan food in Chiang Rai - Edit
Lovely venue and lovely staff who explain the menu in depth and are fully aware of what vegan means. The hung lay curry was quite sweet and full of pineapple. The vegetables with peanut sauce was also fairly sweet. The pad Thai was excellent (no need for extra peanut sauce) and the laphet thoke salad was a standout. Every meal was served with fruit. Love the option of smaller portion sizes so you can try multiple meals.

Northern Thai cuisine veganized - Edit
The menu at the front door seems overwhelming but once inside the owner will explain everything.
Read moreThe owner is very helpful to explain which dishes can be made vegan (V on the menu). All dishes are made from scratch with local products.
Barrab veganizes local Northern Thai dishes.. loving this.
We ordered:
32. Homemade peanut sauce with mixed vegetables
33. Herb and spices sauce with eggplant and Thai holy basil
& Som Tam & Thai tea (with coconut milk).
You can choose between 2 sizes, we took it as main dish.
The portions are good and the price is reasonable. Most important... the quality of the food is top-notch, very delicious.
If you like fine Thai cuisine... this is the place to be!

Hung Lay Curry is incredible - Edit
Northern Thai curry done excellently. The menu is easily tailored to vegan. I had the hung lay curry which had the perfect combination of spices, cooked through potato with pineapple, tofu and cashew nuts. The combination of pineapple and ginger is great with the right amount of spice to add heat without overpowering the dish.

Good but pricey - Edit
Tasty food but pretty pricey for the portions. Had the veg barab which was good but not very filling for 120 baht. Passion fruit juice was 70 baht for mostly ice and honey. The owner understands vegan diet and is eager to help and answer questions.
