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 🦟

A special place with a lot to choose from

Such an affordable place with quality selection. I had a wonderful time here and will be going back as soon as possible. I had the vegan duck noodle soup and my partner chose a mix from the selection up front and both were equally as tasty.

Pros: Fully vegan, Unique selection , Location

Really great food and cheap!

Just as in the title, the food here is great and also very cheap. There are pre-made curries that can be added to rice or individual meals can be ordered.

There’s a large variety on offer and also free water

Affordable vegan food.

Really good value for money vegan food that changes everyday. It’s a buffet-style restaurant where you choose as many dishes as you want. Peaceful spot away from the main street with water features and a Buddhist shrine.

Pros: All vegan options, Food changes everyday , Really cheap

Cons: Food is pre-made in the morning

Holy crap this food was so awesome and so cheap! So many flavours and good level of spicy (if you like spice). We are coming back to try the Khao Soi! Only negative thing was the fried “chicken” and spring rolls weren’t fresh and were cold but we were too hungry to care as we skipped breakfast for this feast!

Pros: Entirely vegan, Really flavourful, Super cheap

Cons: “chicken” and spring rolls were cold/not fresh

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!
