Simple, cheap and filling - Edit
Don’t await any luxury, they mostly have mock meats and tofu in various sauces and rice, but for me it was perfect: cheap, tasted good and very filling.

A bit overrated and scruffy - Edit
Went there after reading many reviews and recommendations. I was kind of disappointed actually. All they had was tons of mock meats with various sauces but no vegetable dishes. I ate a small selection of mock meats with some bland white rice, for which I paid 13 ringgit. Expensive, I thought. I also had some takeout poppiah, which was quite tasteless. The old Chinese lady who estimated my plate was a bit quirky and greedy.

Cons: Expensive , No vegetable dishes, Too much mock meat

Overcharged because Im a tourist - Edit
I was terribly overcharged because I'm a tourist! Be aware if you come here and ask the price before buying. I was charged 14rm for a plate of rice with 3 toppings, I never pay more than 7 to 10 rm for the same in similar food stalls.

Tasty and cheap local food! - Edit
Great place to try local food and for cheap! Had the buffet and noodles. Very good with a nice spicy kick. Went back two more times to try other items in the buffet as it’s different each day. Go early-mid day to eat fresher/warmer food.

Tasty, inexpensive vegan food - Edit
I visit KL once or twice a year and always come to eat at Blue Boy several times each visit. As has been explained in several other reviews, this is a hawker centre wherein several stalls selling different types of food are housed in one decently sized shop lot. This place is located opposite the main road from Swiss Garden Hotel, on a side street going up a tiny hill.
Read moreMy favourites are the char koay teow (wok fried noodles with bits of greens, mushroom and fishballs), nasi lemak (coconut rice with mutton rendang, sambal squid, anchovies, cucumber and beans) and chee cheong fun (flat rice noodles with a sesame hoisin sauce and various stuffed tofu/veggie options to go with the noodles). The economy rice can be hit or miss, with some really delicious options (curry vegetables; stir fried medley of cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, tofu puffs, celery and wood ear fungus) and some ordinary dishes.
All meats here are mock meats. Another reviewer mentioned finding chicken in their food which doesn't make sense as no meat is served on the premises. In fact, to my knowledge, all the dishes are vegan by default except for the char koay teow (you simply equest 'no egg' to veganise this dish) and curry laksa (they add coffee creamer to the curry soup). Also, the staff have always been neutral but courteous in all the years I've been coming here.
Having a hawker centre where vegans can eat without concern of accidentally consuming animal products is a rare and awesome thing. Hopefully people will be more careful in their reviews to avoid tarnishing the reputation of a respectable business.
Pros: Many options, Delicious and inexpensive, Clean and courteous
Cons: Hard to find, Not open for dinner

Great vegan food - Edit
Chinese style vegetarian (mostly vegan) food. I love this place and have eaten here 10+ times. I usually go for the buffet that normally has 15+ different choices. In the weekend they skip the buffet and has set meals instead.
Read morePros: Almost 100% vegan, Great taste, Cheap
Cons: Hard to understand buffet pricing

No healthy food - Edit
I didn't like the food. The 2 dishes we took (out of 8 on the wall menu) were very oily, tasteless and without vegetables (only a few pieces). It is cheap but you get what you paid for! There is good food elsewhere!
Read morePros: cheap food
Cons: Not healthy food, Very oily , Tasteless

Horrible - Edit
I hate writing negative reviews, but I really did not liked this place! First of all the staff was super rude and totally overcharged me (because I'M white..) The menu was unclear, so they just gave me whatever and the food was cold... I do not recommend .

I have been going to Blue Boy for 10 years now. The staff have always been very friendly to me, and I have never been overcharged. If you didnt understand the menu, how can you say you were overcharged? and if you were, how do you know its because you're white? I am white by the way.

Asam Laksa - Edit
Tried their curry laksa and asam laksa, the latter of which was delicious (or would have been without so many noodles). Not bad, but San Sann in nearby Bukit Bintang won my return-patronage scorecard.
Read morePros: vegan options , delicious asam laksa broth
Cons: waaaaaaayyyyy too many noodles spoil their soup

I can't recommend enough! - Edit
When we walked into BlueBoy I was sceptical because they didn't have an English menu I was worried what we might order.
Read moreThey have an English speaking waitress who came over and helped us order our first dish with ease. After devouring it we ordered more and more taking her advice and weren't disappointed.
The food is very tasty and high standard and great value for money. I can't believe how little the bill was. I just wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have gone back.

cheap and tasty hawker experience - Edit
if you are not used to hawker style eateries, you might freak out; it's got no ac and is kind of grimey. The noodles were good and cheap though, and eating there feels like an authentic experience.
Read morePros: authentic hawker experience, good price
Cons: closes at 6pm. no menu.

Char koay teaw is amazing! - Edit
I was staying a few doors down from Blue Boy when I was in KL, so I ate here quite a few times. I had the char koay teaw multiple times, which was absolutely incredible. I also tried a laksa, which was too spicy for me so I couldn't really enjoy it. I absolutely loved this place though, it was a real treat to be able to experience the SE Asian hawker style stalls and have it be all veg. It was also super cheap (around £1 for a meal) and the guys working there were really friendly. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting KL.

too much rice/noodle and not enough vegetables - Edit
I ordered a plate of noodles/mushroom/tofu/various vegetable, but I was disappointed because It was actually hard to find what it was supposed to come with noodle.
Read moreI gave them a second chance by ordering a curry. I had 2 types of noodle but vegetables/tofu//mushroom were hard to find too.

Best spicy vegetarian fare around Jalan Alor - Edit
We went twice to the restaurant. First time we took fried rice and char koya teow. Both were excellent. Second time we took buffet meal with rice, curry and plenty of vegetables. Food is tasty and freshly prepared. You will get both spicy and non-spicy foods. We were helped by Mr. Chung in selecting the food. Fried rice etc can be ordered without egg. They also serve fake meat made out of soya, though I did not try it much.
Read moreI had taken my parents who prefer Indian vegeterian, they liked the food very much as the spice level can be almost same as south Indian food. You can ask to vary it as well.
They are many stalls including that sells curry noodles which was suggested to us by the diners there.
To reach the place, go to the end Jalan Alor and turn right. You will see Corona Inn. Its situated on the lane next to Corona Inn.

Visited July 2015 - Edit
The easiest way to find this place is to find the Corona Inn. Walk last the entrance on your left and take the immediate left after the hotel, signposted Lalian Sehala and street sign says Lorong Pudu 8. The restaurant is at the end of this alley way on the right.
Read moreIt is a large open sided cafeteria type restaurant. Ceiling fans.
The food is all vegetarian, but not vegan. It is self-select for some of the food and you can ask for fried noodles or rice preparing.
For drinks the options seemed to be limited, no alcohol, no fruit juices aside from lime juice.
The manager is helpful, speaks good amounts of English, and is helpful in explaining that any reference to meat or seafood implies imitation.
The food was cheap, approx RM15 for 2 people for sufficient food. The food was tasty, of good variation. We would eat there again and would recommend to others.
Opening hours looked approx 8am to 6pm.
We found the location with the help of a free app called maps.me, which had more accurate mapping than google maps and it allowed us to download the maps and negotiate the area with GPS.
Pros: Fully vegetarian, Good explanations, Cheap
Cons: Hard to find, Poor drink choices
