Good food for a decent price - Edit
Gave this place a try since it was right beside my guesthouse. They have a buffet style and regular menu to order. Food was pretty good and the service was fast. A lot of seating and welcoming atmosphere. Good place for cheap eats and the portion is good

Quite tasteless food - Edit
When I arrived there were only about 3 items left on the buffet so I ordered from the menu which was more expensive than what I was expecting. My noodle soup had quite a few flies in the broth and did not really taste of anything.

Cons: Flies in my soup, Slow service

Decent food for a good price - Edit
When we came only the buffet was an option. Most of the things were quite tasty. It's a bit annoying that there is no description of what the food is. We only could guess.

Great place to have hot food at night - Edit
Food was served in good time, great that it’s open later at night. Ordered wanton mee, but was served without wanton. Only upon checking with them did they inform that wanton was sold out😒could do better by informing in advance as I can choose something else on the menu.
Read moreIn place of wanton, they did give a generous amount of charsiew, which is great had i liked it more.

Local favorite - Edit
It’s a nice local eatery. The owner was super nice and explained us everything. There is also a buffet but its better to order from the menu because then they prepare it fresh. They have amazing selfmade algae chips and also the noodle for some of the dishes are house made.
Read moreIt’s very popular among the locals. A lot of dishes contain mock meat which is not the best quality but that’s the only thing. We had a tofu claypot and on recommendations of the owner we had the Wan Tan noodles which was really super nice, the locals specialty Moghanir (or something like this :)) which was super nice but quite spicy.
An extra plus is that they are very inclusive and the young waiter guy was mentally challenged but super nice and told us how to eat the food (to squeeze the lime on top of the soup) and a local elderly man who was waiting for the noodle dish to take home to his wife chatted with us. Absolutely recommended but don’t expect anything fancy.
Pros: Super nice service, Tasty freshly prepared food (order from menu!), Very cheap
Cons: A lot of cheap mock meat

Not incredible - Edit
Well it isn't incredible but when everything is closed it's a good option. Dishes are very oily and buffet isn't awesome. Nonetheless it's very cheap. Only paid RM23 for 2 dishes and some dumplings. Next day only RM6 the plate (it was the end of the buffet)
Read moreSo ok for once or twice and if you are on a budget.

Vegetarian buffet - Edit
Lots of choice in the buffet including fake meat and vegetable options, all at good prices (large plate for under 10rm). Popular with locals. Slightly out of the centre so fewer tourists.

Nothing special - Edit
I had a few dishes from buffet and ordered dumpling. Buffet's food weren't delicious but dumplings were better. I couldn't find any other place around at that time so it was my only option, otherwise I don't recommend that.

Not so great - Edit
Had a couple of things from the buffet, but did not like it that much, to be honest. I thought I selected broad beans in a spicy sauce, but it was mockmeat that tasted like lard .. The sauce was good though. Veggies were average. Boyfriend had the same opinion.
Read moreQuite popular with the locals though. The place was packed with people when we got there. Maybe we just selected the wrong items?
Pros: Cheap, Fully vegetarian restaurant

Not What We Expected - Edit
We saw pretty good reviews for this place. I had already eaten at many places in Malacca, but this one wasn’t even close to as good as the others. We ordered 3 things, none of which had any flavor (spring rolls, veggie dumplings, and some kind of noodle). We felt pressured to order quickly because the guy was standing and waiting for us to choose. They also served everything with plastic cutlery, which I hate to use when I’m actually sitting down at a restaurant.

God sent! - Edit
This vegetarian restaurant is simply amazing. The young cook is from Myanmar and has great presence. They offer an extensive buffet selection and some a la carte dishes. The only thing I didn't like was the veg sushi, was very expensive for what it was. But the rest is dirt cheap and delicious. Free water, Chinese tea and soup as well. Really busy with locals during lunch time. Take out also possible. So if you happen to be in Melaka and want cheap, quality vegan food, this is the place!
Read morePros: Central location, Excellent value, Delicious, good variety
Cons: Sushi not good

decent to very good - Edit
We were late, so there was no more buffet. I tried two a la cart dishes here: fried noodles (which I requested but wasn't on the menu), and the Thai style fried rice (which the fellow recommended). The noodles were acceptable, but the Thai style fried rice was very very good. Bit sour with pineapple. For each dish, small already meant a full size meal at 6RM. We were also a fan of the waiter.
Read morePros: Thai style fried rice, big portions

Standard Chinese veg - Edit
Went to this place a bunch of times during my stay in Melaka. Buffet in the first shift only, I think. On every occasion but two, a quirky Dobby-like fellow was running the place, taking orders and gauging plate prices. I paid RM5 for a pretty packed place, and my girlfriend under 2 for a normal one.
Read moreHowever, I also went one Saturday when there was a ton of dishes and a much more serious woman, who seemed like the owner, was at the helm. When I presented my slightly-more loaded plate she called it at 10. Shocked, I said I paid half that for a similar plate a few days before, to which she asked if the one who charged me was my main man as he doesn't know how to count the values properly.
According to her, each "scoop" or piece of a buffet item is 1 or 2 ringgit depending on what it is. Of course it's impossible to know unless you ask, but if it's legit a similar system is probably in place at all aces like this. Next day we went back for takeout and a guy who looked like the father of the first guy charged us somewhere between what I was charged by the other two. Arbitrary!
As a last point, I do not recommend the clay pot fried rice with vegetable. It was essentially oily rice with a few miserable greens and mushrooms placed on top.
Pros: sometimes dirt cheap, fairly tasty, a lot of options
Cons: sometimes not as cheap, insanely oily

Cheapest veg in town! - Edit
Definitively the cheapest vegetarian restaurant in Malacca. A lot of dishes on the menu are 5 ringgits including a plate from the buffet and the rest is 8 ringgits. And it includes a soup and free water. They also have a steamboat for only 10 ringgits.

If everything is closed or you love mock meat - Edit
This place closes late and it’s really cheap for a buffet.
Read moreThere’s an interesting variety of mock meats, mostly greasy stuff that would surprise most vegans. Some of the food is tasty but mostly okay.

Excellent buffet with healthy options - Edit
Pleasing buffet selection! Included tempeh, braised eggplant, steamed broccoli & cauliflower w/ Chinese mushroom, pumpkin, tofu, green beans & other various steamed greens, a few noodle dishes & a various mock meat dishes.
Read moreThere were at least a dozen things to choose from & many healthy/simple vegetable choices (if mock meat isn't your preference).
Also a choice of white or brown steamed rice.
Prices are up on the board. We paid 7 ringgit per plate & we had our plates quite full with about 6 choices. I think it might be cheaper if you serve yourself less food. :)
All was delicious & fresh, I can recommend to others.
Pros: tempeh, healthy steamed vegetables , brown rice option

Alive, Well, and Serving Great Food (really cheap) - Edit
I saw in the blurb for this restaurant that it might be closed. I just ate there (Jan 4, 2014). The place is alive and well; and serving a great buffet at really cheap prices. Don't miss it. I also recommend the fresh lime juice for 1.5 ringit... excellent.

Cheap and cheerful - Edit
THis is a ramshackle, friendly neighbourhood place, with locals, mainly Chinese and Indians casually strolling in, filling up their plates and eating in silence.
Read moreThere is a buffet- you fill your plate and then the waitress makes a quick judgement of the price- my plates ranged between 4 and 6 ringit. It would seem easier to me just to say 5 ringit per plate...but maybe this is some ancient Chinese custom of judging the price of a plate according to the eye which I am not familiar with.
Anyway, the food itself is variable, some days great, others just passable. The best item I tasted was what I think is a Nyonya dish of eggplant cooked with a kind of sambal paste. In fact one day I thought to myself...'this is the best plate of food I have ever eaten for $1.50!'.
There are also about a dozen or so alacarte options, mainly mees and claypot type dishes.
Pros: cheap
