excellent and healthy

this place is great. I used them for delivery frequently.
their food is top notch, and it also is healthy.
they get their soy products mostly from taiwan and it's not GMO and of course more reliable than China or Thailand.
They also do not use oyster sauce, which is usually sketchy stuff that many Thai restaurants use. They frequently deliver within 1/2 hour which is amazing given the time to cook and traffic in Pattaya. Try them out.

Pros: healthy, tasty, fast

Cons: no tofu burger

all so good

Very happy to have found this wonder thanks to the reviews on Happy Cow. Firstly the staff were awesome. Very welcoming, extremely understanding and helpful. The menu is clear and extensive. A vegan has many options. Mock meats to fresh veggies. Ice creams etc. I had gyoza and a Pad Thai. But I wanted to try everything. I am going back today and every day that I’ll be here in Pattaya. Was also given a business card so that I could order food over the phone and have it delivered by motorcycle. My hotel has little to no vegan food so this is just brilliant.

Pros: extensive menu, quality food, excellent staff

Mock meat heaven

I'm not the kind of vegan who misses meat but I'm also not disgusted by the taste and texture of it (yet) so I still appreciate and enjoy the mock meat style of vegan food and this place is one of the best I've been to in Asia.

The menu is predominantly vegan but for some clearly marked items they include egg or egg noodles.

Pros: extensive menu, pizza and pasta as well as Asian, very good service, friendly staff

My first vist was today.

We tried a few things on the menu. Everything tasted great. After two weeks of eating very unhealthy, I'm so glad I finally went there. I'm used to food from the Loving Hut but this exceeds that experience. Mostly because of their extensive menu, Five Star J is at the top of my list of restaurants. Another 6 weeks in Thailand and I'm pretty sure I will mostly eat there.

Pros: Very diverse menu, Mostly Vegan, They even deliver

Cons: I couldn't think of one.

Lots of vegan options

A huge menu with lots of vegan options to choose from. Have all types of food, from thai to western. They make the dishes with tofu, tempeh or mushroom.
The tempeh satay is delicious. Nice fruit shakes to drink and they also serve wine. Very friendly staff.

Pros: Friendly staff, Lots of vegan options, Excellent food

Cons: A bit small place

Very disappointment

Были в этом кафе три раза. Все было хорошо и вкусно, нас всегда встречала очень приветливая хозяйка. Но когда мы пришли в третий раз, сначала заказали розовое вино, нам его принесли, мы попробовали, но оно было сильно кислым, я позвал официантку и сказал что мы пить не будем и объяснил ей почему мы его не будем пить - очень кислый вкус. Затем мы заказали ризотто с грибами шиитаке и пиццу. Сначала нам принесли ризотто, но попробовав его мы поняли что оно очень соленое, сказали это офицантке, она предложила заменить блюдо, но настроение было уже испорчено и мы отказались, затем принесли пиццу, она была вкусная. Мы попросили счет, но почему то в счете были включены вино и ризотто от которых мы отказались. К нам подошел мужчина европейской внешности (возможно это управляющий) и сказал что мы должны платить за все потому что мы попробовали вино и ризотто, причем сказал это в грубой форме, развернулся и ушел, мы оплатили весь счет полностью и ушли в ужасном настроении. Очень хотелось бы чтобы этот отзыв хозяйка кафе - очень приятная женщина. Хотелось бы услышать ее мнение по этому вопросу.

were in this Cafe three times. all was well and tasty, we always met very friendly mistress. but when we came in the third time, first ordered pink wine, we it brought, we tried, but it was strongly sour, I called waitress and said that we drink will not and told her why we it will not drink - very sour taste. then we ordered risotto with mushrooms шиитаке and pizza. first, we brought risotto, but trying his we understand that it is very Salt, said it офицантке, it is suggested to replace the dish, but the mood was already spoiled and we have refused, then brought pizza, it was delicious. we asked to account, but for some reason the account were included wine and risotto from which we have refused. to US went man European appearance (perhaps this is managing), and said that we have to pay for all because we tried wine and risotto, and said it in the rough form, turned around and left, we paid all the expense of fully and left in the awful mood. very I would like to this review mistress Cafe - very nice woman. I would like to hear the opinions on this issue.

Six stars all the way.

The only place for truly fine, responsible, delicious, and massively extensive vegan diningin the region. As good as the Hilton in terms of quality at ridiculously low prices. If this place won't at least make you consider vegan food as a part of you nutrition, nothing will. By far the finestexampleof vegan food we've come across thus far in our many years of travel.

Pros: Pages upon pages of amazing vegan dishes.

Cons: None.

awesome

Very glad I found this place, seems to be about the only healthy vegetarian option in Pattaya. Many choices on the menu. My first visit was tasty and the owner gave me samples and he was very knowlegeable about vegan living. Will be coming on a daily basis while in Patts and probably twice or thrice daily.

Been back a few times and every choice is good. The owner takes pride in quality.

Amazing range of Vegan options

We are here twice while in Pattaya and the choice of food was amazing, sometimes meaning it tools us a while to decide what to eat!!! Staff are friendly, speak good English and understand the vegan concept so you don't have to worry about what you are eating.

Pros: Great range of dishes, Veg options can be made vegan, Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Cons: Limited seating so might have to wait at peak time

Just awesome

Seriously one of the best vegan Restaurants I've ever been to. Was there almost 6 months ago and after I've found that nice place I either ordered something or went there everyday . Their temphe is superb and their "duck" dishes as well. Everybody is really friendly. This restaurant made my stay in pattaya.

amazing "chicken" massaman

I always intend to order something other than the above, but it just tastes too good! I would prefer a more low key decor...lone visitors look a bit like plumps here. background music is a bit annoying....but the food is fantastic.... and that's what we go for. best massaman I've ever tasted.

Converted

I've been coming to Thailand for many years, as a long time vegetarian I always struggled with thai food. Inevitably a little chicken stock or fish sauce is nearly always used. I was envious of how everyone else simple simply ordered a range of dishes and ticked in, eating became an ordeal. of course there are Indian vegetarians which I like but which can be rather heavy. I tried five star and now for the first time I have tried real thai food and actually joined into an enjoyable experience of eating thai for the first time. This restaurant really is first class on every front, cleanliness, explanation, taste and price, cannot recommend highly enough.

Pros: No meat whatsoever, I can relax completely and try

Cons: No cons

Very good higher class vegetarian restaurant

This place comes with higher prices, but it's definitely worth visiting! Place is very clean and modern, with pleasant background music, staff is very professional and nice.

Their menu is huge with tons of really delicious stuff, I guarantee you won't be able to decide ;) I had noddles with tempeh, the tempeh was amazing! Portions are very reasonable also.

I highly recommend visiting at least once :)

Pros: clean modern place, huge menu, taste

Cons: higher prices

Highly recommendable, everything very healthy.

For Thailand unusual clean, even the kitchen I was allowed to take a peek.
More than 160 dishes, most of them vegan, all fresh cooked. They have a lot of qualified staff. The service even asks for the wished temperature of the free, well purified water.
No chemicals in the food, they guarantee on the menu.
Very expensive ingredients such as organic coconut oil and meat-fakes made of soy protein. Very delicious all rice dishes, you can choose between organic black and red and high quality white rice. They even understand to prepare tempeh very tasty. I love the tempeh sate, burger, curry and spaghetti.
The portions are well proportioned and the prices very reasonable.
If you have only a small budget: You´ll find a lot of dishes at 88 or 99 THB.
My result: You can find me here every day during my stay.

Pros: Clean and cosy, No chemicals like MSG, etc., Good portions at low prices.

Cons: none, none, none

Great food. New ownership as of July 2014

I've been going to this restaurant for over 5 years and they have always maintained a great taste and variety in their food.
The place has been renovated and looks a lot cleaner and nicer, including a new toilet which is much better.
The prices have increased a bit, and the portions have somewhat decreased since previous owners... but still very good value and quality food.
Some would say prices are a bit high for Pattaya, but will be difficult to find another place locally with food made this healthy and with so much attention and love.
New owners many have made many changes and have added many new dishes. You must try the Shitake mushroom & spinach pizza. And just recently added some very delicious tempeh options. WOW! I truly love their tempeh.

Another good thing is that they have eliminated most of the sugar, oils and done away with MSG (this is great), which Thai cooking tends to use lots of. Can also order food as you like it, spicy or not spicy. New hours also make it much more convenient to find vegetarian food in the late hours. They are now open from 11am-11pm.
Give it a try... the owners are very friendly and accommodating.

Pros: food very yummy, excellent quality, excellent location which is easy to find, Less sugar and less oil

Cons: None

Sevin you are underwhelmed

I visit this restaurant since more then 20 years. In the past, because it was the only one I could reach easily from my house, since the new owner is there because I love it. The place became so nice and clean, no plastic on the tables but cotton tableware. The cutlery is no longer brought with dirty hands, it's wrapped in tissues.
The quality of the food can't be topped and the prizes were increased very slightly. The portions have not become smaller.
They banned the usual white sugar and use not extra sweets, MSG and other poisons are banned, too. The oils are very light, sunflower and coconut oil ist mostly used. Palm oil the don't have.

I have been in the restaurant when this bad guy showed up. He was complaining already before he has seen the food.
He became very unfriendly and I could hear him shout that he will write a very bad review. At this time I didnt know what that is, now I know that he tries everything to defame the owner and the restaurant.
As I wish very much that this phantastic restaurant exists long time so I can eat there, I post this review. [edit by staff - see tos]

Pros: Good atmosphere, everything clean, Light and very tasty food, Ongoing new dishes, over 100

Cons: None , None, None

I was dining excellent, not getting fed !!!

Entering this place I was impressed. Everything clean, two tablecloths, one cream, one red, cutlery wrapped in tissues and a huge menu (over one hundred). Beside Thai you find excellent international dishes such as pizza, risotto, pasta, Swiss roesti, fried potatos and pancakes and, and. Every menu is in Thai and English, with real photos and well described. As vegan I only had to look for the J in the menu-list.
With the menu came free, very good tasting drinking water and my glass never was empty. The owner, a friendly and competent Thailady came to explain the menu. They banned all white sugar and use the brown one very careful, use different oils like coconut for deep-frying because soy oil cannot be heated enough. She also explained the dishes, told me about crab meat made of konjac roots, grilled shiitake mushrooms that taste a little bit like lamb steaks and a new drinking water machine. They serve food for non-Thais usually moderate spicy because everything is daily-fresh. I could not really believe, it sounded too good.
I ordered the fried rice with pineapple (THB 99), the Mama Thai noodles with duck (THB 149) and the spinach Pizza with shiitake mushrooms (THB 299). The very friendly service lady asked me, how spicy I can eat. They categorize from one to five chillies.
Two minutes later the attractive Thai owner asked me, whether I really can eat all that, but if not, they would pack in for take away. We decided to do like that.
However more than ten guests were in the restaurant, my first dish was served after 12 minutes. Thinking about the rubber soles I first tried the topping –Wow-, what was that. Tasty, a little bit sweet. Ning, the owner explained me, this are miitake mushrooms. What a difference. The pineapple cut very small, the rice tasty and no oil to be seen. And the portion overfilled a fresh, half pineapple. Meanwhile the Mama Thai noodles arrived. Just one word: d e l i c o u s. The fake-duck like a real one. A little spicy, just like I ordered.
And they seem to know their food, the pizza I had to take home. But I tried one piece in the restaurant, crispy base (they asked me before how I want it) and tasty topping. The shiitakes are sensationell.
Consumption: Worth every baht.
If you like to dine, not to be fed for s

Pros: Priceworthy, Top Quality, Friendly and competent staff

Cons: Should have more seats, Close already at 09 PM
