Spot on!

Super affordable J canteen as well as a menu which serves all your classic dishes! 55b for 4 portions rice is a silly price to pay for so much food!

100% will be back and highly recommend!

Delicious 100% vegan, and insane value for money

The tasty buffet selection changes every day. Ridiculously cheap. Free water and pleasant seating area. A must in Pai.

Pros: Delicious, Value for money, Central location

Cons: The toilets aren't always sparkling clean.

Must Visit for a Thai Experience

Cannot be more Thai if they try! Everything is vegan. Option to choose from buffet or the menu. Lots of dishes to choose from. Carnivore partner loved it too!

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
