Best Vegetarian Buffet in George Town

We stayed in George Town for 5 days and we ended up eating here every day. Tried everything from the extensive buffet, bao buns and Chinese moon cakes.
Very affordable prices: 15 RM for a big plate of rice + different types of veggies and tofu (or veg meat). Meat & Veg bao bun costs 4 RM, a smaller red bean Bao is 2 RM.

They also have ready made boxes for take away.

Kind and welcoming staff, during the day it can be very hot dining inside but there are 2 ceiling fans.

So happy I found it

It reminds me of my favourite vegan restaurant on earth. It's more Chinese and cheaper. Put me in such a good mood.

Pros: Flavour, Price, All vegan

Self-service & buffet style veggie/vegan dishes. So many different options including many types of tofu as well as mock meats! Staff were friendly, a big plate averaged around 15RM.

Wonderful

I absolutely love this place. My friend who is not vegan found it and she took me there. It's amazing.
It's a buffet style, you serve yourself and pay before eating. I paid between 10 or 12 ringgit. They have a big variety of vegetables, tofu, pasta, fries,...
It's always a pleasure to eat good quality food for a good price.

Little belter…

Excellent choice of food laid out buffet style (least 15 choices or more) and after asking 10 times was it all definitely vegan I felt safe to proceed to put a mountain on my plate of this and that.. in my defence I wasn’t sure what was what…don’t be discouraged by the lady watching and eyeing you up.. she’s nice when you get to know her and all that food came to 12 RM!! £2.22 plus a gorgeous soursop drink (alright then 2..) 3 RM for one…55p
Clean and just a great, calm place.
Open 7am till 8pm daily.

Good Chinese veg buffet.

At Ee Beng at 8:30am. It's not busy & I'm the only foreigner No idea what I'm eating, but it's all veg, with different tastes and textures.

It's self service. After you finish loading up your plate, a lady eyeballs it and then decides what to charge you. My plate was only 14 Ringgit (AUD$5)!

They also serve a variety of drinks. Look for the the menus posted on the walls.

A 3 Ringgit Soursop juice is calling my name...

Excellent assortment of self serve vegan cuisine

This vegan/vegetarian shophouse in Penang’s historic district is a fantastic place to sample Chinese vegetarian options.
Start with your preferred base: brown or white rice or noodles. Then pile on the various vegetable-based dishes that interest you.
At the end the shop lady will tell you how much it is… super reasonable or should I dare say cheap… and delicious! Yum.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Cheap and cheerful

Friendly staff, just grab a plate and fill it up! I do wish there were signs saying what things were, but everything I tried was great, such a range of mock meats. My plate was 18rm, once I'd paid at table, another lady asked if I needed a drink, so I helped myself from the fridge, then she came over and took 2.50rm payment for that. I realised when paying they also do things like burgers too. Nothing was too spicy!

Amazing selection and friendly staff

Lots of vegan options to choose from. I checked if anything in the buffet had milk or eggs and they said no. Worth checking though if the dishes change. Particularly loved the eggless kaya bao and red bean bao. Pretty affordable too - two of us with drinks, plates filled up and two baps came to RM32.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff

Lots of options and affordable. Buffet style, choose what you want to eat, the price is depends on how much food you have in your dishes. They sell snacks and frozen mocks as well.

The best buffet food

This is my favourite buffet in Malaysia so far! There are so many different options of mock meats, tofu and lots of veggies which isn’t always the case. I liked all the dishes, and as always the price is perfect. They also have lots of flavours of steamed buns and some pre packaged meals in takeaway boxes.

Disappointing

I got a full plate of different things for 22 Ringit. Unfortunately I did not like any of the stuff there. It didn't taste like anything and was also cold. It's not a nice place to sit and also too hot as they have fans only.

Left 80% of the plate and left to go somewhere else.

The idea of a vegan buffet is great but that was one of the worst meals I had in a long time

Wow. Local. Tasty

Thanks to the power of HappyCow I found this amazing gem. I had a large bottle of water and a massive serve of food piled up onto my plate. I paid AU$6.11. Loads of variety, flavours and options.

Winner spot, if you only have one place to visit go here

The choices, the veggies, the mockmeats, the diversity! For eating in, or take away there is no better place for a vegan to be.

Delicious.

Good budget friendly option

Solid. Good vegetarian food with a wide selection of dishes at budget friendly prices. It's self service, you compose your dish and they tell you the price. Overall good quality and nice flavours. Great prices. Very simple location perfect for a quick meal. Friendly staff who speak English. Absolutely recommended!
