cheap, fast, delicious

You can get different dishes on one plate as you choose them from a buffet. So you dont have to decide, but you can try many different foods. Everything i had was really delicious. Also extremely cheap compared to many other fully vegan places.

Mid and shorted me 100 baht change

Realized once I left here that I’d been shortchanged a 100 note. Food was pretty unremarkable: everything was soggy and lukewarm and just blended together. Not bad, just not memorable.

Awesome cheap and tasty!

Ate here multiple times during my stay in Pai. During the day you can pick and choose from the buffet. For dinner there's a menu. For the latter your dish is prepared to order.

Very good food! Nice smoothies also.

Delicious home style cooking

The way the patriarch of this restaurant manages the busy season by directing the influx of tourists like its peak hour traffic, reminds me of my dad. Get the Chinese dumplings with spicy sauce.

All vegan buffet style

Loved this place. Will travel to Thailand to eat here again one day. Has buffet style to select a few dishes and also has some specific dishes such as vegan Khao soi which I really enjoyed. Amazing value at 40-50 baht per meal. Add this place to your Pai itinerary

Some of the best slop around

As of Dec 2023, it's 45 baht (1.30 USD) to get three scoops of curries on your rice. That price is hard to beat, just about anywhere in the world.

Pros: So cheap, Lots of options, Handwashing Sink

Yummy, affordable and quick

I've lost count how many times I ate here.
The papaya salad is delicious. The pumpkin curry on rice - yummy. A good selection to choose from. Reasonably priced and most importantly, it's quick.

Pros: Papaya salad, Rice & good choices of curry, Service

Cons: None

Simply wonderful

Local restaurant located in a small alley off the main roads in Pai. Everything is premade and served over rice. Authentic vegan Northern style dishes. Friendly service and very inexpensive. Highly recommend

Muy recomendable restaurante tipo bufé vegano

Es un restaurante donde puedes pedir algún plato ya de la carta (noodles o curry) o pedir un plato con la comida que quieras comer del bufé. Comida muy buena a buen precio.

Pros: Comida , Precio, Ubicación

Great value jay buffet

Green curry, pumpkin stir-fry, pad gaprao, tofu dishes, and various mock meats is some of the typical jay fare you can expect to find on their buffet. They also offer a small à la carte carte menu from which I have ordered khao soi, vegan chicken rice, and their papaya salad. Most dishes are really tasty but I found that the salad had an unappealing chemical flavour to it—I think the lime juice they used was from concentrate rather than fresh. In my opinion, of the buffet items, the green curry is the best. Some of the dishes, such as the mince in tomato sauce, are extremely overly salty, so it can be a bit hit-and-miss.

Something worth mentioning is that the hand soap they use isn’t vegan as it contains bee-derived ingredients, so be aware of that. Another thing is that there tends to be a lot of mosquitoes inside the restaurant during the evening due to its open front. If you want the buffet, I recommend coming earlier in the day if possible as the food will be fresher and there’ll be more options available.

Pros: All food is เจ 🌱, Cheap 💸

Cons: Non-vegan soap 🐝, Evening mosquitoes 🦟
