Good options - Edit
We came upon this place by chance, vegetarian with clearly marked vegan options.
Read moreWe had cold rolls (just salad no tofu or tempeh), Nasi Lemak and the Mushroom burger. They were not bad, not outstanding, but solid.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Mushroom burger was good

Some vegan options - Edit
Some vegan options but not too extensive. Most things have egg or dairy. Avocado pasta was really good though. Nice drinks and free wifi.

Huge menu with some great options - Edit
I've come back here several times, particularly for the homemade carrot soup. The owners clearly care about using fresh & healthy ingredients in their dishes, which I really appreciate. My personal favorites: carrot soup, rainbow roll sushi, turmeric caul-ice (cauliflower rice), nasi lemak, mushroom burger, Singaporean pie tee. Many vegan options, which are clearly marked. Nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Look for a sign on the building door as there isn't one on the road.

Solid vegan options - Edit
Certain dishes are yummy and some not so much. Don’t order the Mexican combo. Vegan cheese pasta is good.

Many healthy vegan food options - Edit
It was difficult to find at first, the signs were not in visible place and we passed it a few times before finally finding it.
Read moreSome of the foods were delicious (vegetable sushi) but some I did not like at all (tofu appetizer).
The waitress forgot to bring my tofu dessert but since I felt bad from the tofu meal I was happy and actually wanted to cancel the order.
My friend got the tofu dessert though and it was some weird tofu swimming in sweet liquid, not a cream what we had thought.
It is no surprise that the waitress forgot because she did not write the orders down and the place was full in the evening.
Prices were and I might go back.
Pros: Healthy, Western interior

Vegan Fish Porridge - Edit
This is the first time I had the vegan fish porridge (RM11.9) after my switch, which surprised me a lot because it actually had a "sweet taste" from seafood ? ! Maybe because of the seaweed, anyeay it is really delicious!

Wide Variety of Western & Asian Vegetarian Food - Edit
Last Visit: August 2017
Read moreHad the Pesto Pasta and Teriyaki Mushroom Burger (RM13.90 each). Both were tasty, but burger with sides were not very substantial. The mushroom patty itself was good, well-seasoned and good textures. Still, it would have been nice if there was more toppings in the burger. The food was not overpriced, but quality could be slightly better (with better quality ingredients) for the price. For that, Janxden is average as an overall. I've tried their porridge and soup pastas via delivery before too, and they were quite good.
That said, I would recommend Janxden for vegetarians who want a place that offers a variety of western and asian food options at average café food prices. Comfort food (soups and porridge) are good choices here. Ambience is casual and chill. Service is ok. Parking is convenient, with space for parking in front of Janxden.

Pros: Wide Variety, Reasonably Priced, Free Parking
Cons: Quality could be Improved, More toppings/ingredien

Good food and awesome waiter - Edit
We've been here today for a lunch and really enjoyed the place itself, its food (including their JandXen rice, vegan fish, soya yogurt), and its deaf waiter who is super nice, attentive and enthusiastic. Menu has a lot of useful signs (milk/eggs/vegan/spicy). Products in their small shop are nice and reasonably priced. Since it's next to local Buddhist association, nuns are really coming here to eat. All the best to all these people!

JenxDen Greenlife Cafe, George Town - Edit
Firstly i commend this eatery for their inclusive employment policy. There was a deaf guy working there. Recruiting this guy seems to have a smart move. He was very enthusiastic and smiley
Read moreThis place is obviously popular. it was very busy yesterday lunch time. The food i had was enjoyable. a concern is their dish labelling. They have an icon representing dishes with milk. The milk icon was missing from a butter dish. This to me majorly erodes faith in their attention to detail
Pros: inclusive employment policy
Cons: questionable dish labelling

Love the baked pasta & basil spaghetti - Edit
Convenient location. I love the colour of their food. Cheesecake can be a bit too small. But baked pasta/rice & their Basil spaghetti is very yummy. Carbonara Penne was very yummy too.
Read morePros: Love the western food
Cons: can be hard to find car park

Mostly bento boxes - Edit
We went here for dinner and to be honest, this wasn't a great decision. Upon arriving we found that there were precisely 4 things on the menu (a fried rice, a salad with peanut sauce, some fried tom yum noodles and some udon noodles), the remaining options being bento boxes consisting mainly of rice and deep fried vegetables. Hardly healthy or nutritionally balanced.
Read moreHaving already walked in we felt obliged to order something so went for the the fried tom yum noodles and the salad. Both tasted nice and we were assured they don't use MSG which is a plus. It was really no more than a snack though so we promptly headed for an Indian restaurant to make up for the deficiencies (unfortunately luck wasn't on our side there either, but that's another story altogether..;)
Anyway, this place is probably good if you are really hungry and in the area. Difficult to see it being much more than that though.
Pros: no MSG, tasted good
Cons: very few selections, a lot of fried food, not nutritionally balanced

Wrong timing, I would say. You went there during Nine Emperor Gods Festival and I guess they changed menu to handle the crowd. We went there too last week and left after finding out they didn't serve the original menu.
