Jao Ngoa - Chao Ngo

Delicious vegan food-- meals range from 35 (for a soup or entree with rice) to 45 (rice with three entrees) baht and are healthy and incredibly tasty (note: limited options for people who don't like spicy food)

Had a lot of trouble finding it at first because happycow has the wrong map location for this restaurant-- used google maps to find the actual location... it's much closer here https://goo.gl/maps/VhzVZA5sGSA2

Came here on my way back from zoo, didn't know the place was just hungry. It seems to be a place for backpackers as well as locals like students from nearby. Prices are low but portions are as well. Food quality from the buffet was quite good so I would probably come back if I was in the area again.

I have been going to Jao Ngoa restaurant for a few years now. The choices are displayed in trays to pick and choose from. Though the number of dishes is not large, I like all of the dishes. They also have some tasty packed dishes including wrapped rice noodles, imitation meat, and various cookies. The price remains the same: a plate of brown rice with two dishes is 30 Baht and the water is free. The place is simple, clean, and pleasant.

Buffet style food. Rice with 1 dish is 30bht and rice with 2 dishes is 35bht. I've liked every dish I've tried. Delicious food but smaller portions than other restaurants like Ming Kwan Vegetarian.

There was no menu, just a buffet of all veg food. It costs 70 baht for rice and 2 side dishes from the buffet. I liked the pumpkin curry I got but the other dish which was beans, pineapple tofu curry i didn't like, i think it was the fact it was a sweet curry though. One side dish is enough with the rice I think. I wouldn't return as there is much nicer vegan food in town.

I used to eat at Jao Ngo very often when it was at it's old location a few meters down the street. There is always a good selection of ready-made curries/vegetable dishes to chose to go with rice. 2 dishes with rice is I think only 20 baht (at least it used to be). Excellent khao soi as well if they happen to have it that day.
