Fantastic place for a cheap meal - Edit
I ate lunch here almost every day during my stay in Pai.
It's very cheap (45 baht for brown rice with 3 toppings), they have a good selection, the food is delicious, they don't use msg and the restaurant is nice to sit inside.
Cons: None

Best Decorated, Budget Buffet and Sit-in - Edit
Buffet is better but the dinner not so bad
Pros: clean, Thai styled decor with gorgeous in-house te, has daytime buffet, decent portions
Cons: dinner menu pricier ~60-100b, long wait for dinner

nothing special - Edit
After 2 weeks in Thailand I know that thai cusine is not only a soy sauce. Vegetables and tofu in soy sauce - nothing special. Don't recommend.

Very affordable and well-spiced! - Edit
I am not a fan of all the European food in Pai and am super happy I found this place! This is well-spiced, authentic Thai food and very affordable. It is clean and spacious and when I was there they played some relaxing music.

A gem - Edit
This Taiwanese vegan eatery is special. Go for the buffet or don't go. Cheapest restaurant food I've found in Pai, and good and tasty. Get the green curry if that's in the buffet when you go (o:

Simple vegan Thai food - Edit
The food was good and made with fresh ingredients although there is nothing special with the menu. We ordered à la carte but I think the buffet looks way better (it closes at 5 pm). The only complain I have is that we received our plates one by one (we were 4) so we didn't eat at the same time because the food was getting cold.
P.S: the pumpkin curry was the best.

Cheap, best and clean! - Edit
This was our everyday spot while staying in Pai (went twice one day) and could see this trend continuing if we stayed here longer. For a $1.50 U.S you will definitely leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. The staff is helpful and chill. Beautiful sculptures of Quan yin and Buddha peacefully watch over as you eat. Definitely a must when visiting Pai..I would suggest going first thing in the morning while the buffet is hot and fresh as they run out of items by early afternoon.
Pros: No MSG, Clean, interesting mock meats, quick, supe
Cons: That it's not open 24 hours a day

Get on those meaty mushrooms! - Edit
Came here on my last day in Pai and wish I had tried it out earlier! Has a nice, varied, affordable range of dishes.
I ordered their fried mushrooms alongside some Pad Thai and it was genuinely one of the best meals I had in Thailand. The environment is spacious, warm and clean - would highly recommend it.
Pros: Wide variety of flavourful Thai food, Spacious, warm environment (free water!), Good value
Cons: None

cheap and tasty food! - Edit
We ate here a couple of times, I had the buffet with spring rolls which were sooo tasty. The buffet food isn't warm as it's cooked at the start of the day but that didn't really matter. My girlfriend has the fried 'chicken' as well and really enjoyed it:) owners are lovely too

so flavorful! - Edit
We just ate at this place and freaking loved it! We ordered the friend mushrooms (a must-try!), the green beans w chili and tofu, and the pumpkin curry. The dishes were all so flavorful with fresh veggies cooked so they still had their crunch. We can't wait to come back and try more of their food!! Easily one of our top restaurants in Thailand :)

Only tried the buffet food though. - Edit
So haven't had a chance to try the menu dishes yet, only the pre-made food from the buffet, which was nice and very very cheap - a full plate of rice & 3 different 'foods' added plus a big spring roll & big fried mushroom came to only about 60 bahts.

Very good. Two great places in the same street. - Edit
I came here because Duang's amazing 'Pai Vegetarian' over the road is closed on Sundays. While the owners here aren't Thai, they make very good Asian vegan food. I had the glass noodle salad and pumpkin curry, and big were delicious. Anyway you've got two great choices on the same street. Duang's is the best of the two. Try both!
Pros: Vegan, Tasty , Not expensive
Cons: Service was slow despite my being there early and

like vegan fast food ;) - Edit
So much good food, and all vegan! I had the Khao Soi, which was so good! The fake meat was very real, but made out of mushrooms or something like that... They also have a buffet with lots of vegan fast food stuff...
Pros: cheap
