Small Thai style veggie place on the road north out of Chaweng. Look for it on the left (west) side of the street when leaving Chaweng area before hitting the main road. Offer pre-made dishes (from 7am), and also made to order dishes like phad thai, rad nah, Chinese style dumplings, mock meat dishes, and steamed buns. Reported closed, Jan 2021.

My favourite cheap kind of Thai places - Edit
Yooo 'a little bit spicy' she told us, haha, beware if you can't do spicy when choosing your dishes. The food is soo good. Buffet style with many options, where you pay 50 Baht for a plate (rice whatever you choose), we were there towards closing time, still enough left. The owner is nice!!

Jay เจ - Edit
Typical Thai vegan restaurant, or as the Thais call it Jay "เจ".
Read moreThere is a buffet with around 10 dishes to choose from and the food served changes every day. There are always some currys, stir-fries, mock meats and a soup.
As you would expect, this place is cheap. You are going to spend an average of 40-50 THB per dish or you can choose multiple items from the buffet and have a feast.
They also sell some products like textured soy proteins, vegan sausages, vegan patties, and more. The food is very traditional which is why I like this place. My favorites are the moo daeng, stirfried meaty mushrooms and the pad tua ngok.

Delicious food. Not fully vegan! - Edit
The food here was excellent. It wasn’t hard to find either on the road.
Read moreBe mindful if you’re vegan- they do have condensed milk and that’s what they used for Thai iced tea and their coffees.
It’s a real Thai experience as they basically put rice on a plate and then you can pick the foods you want that are pre cooked in pots so it’s also super quick. A lot of the food is spicy. They use fake meats and soy products. Overall a wonderful experience!

Authentic Vegan Thai Buffet - Edit
This place was lovely. Easy to find. Lots of different options with tofu, textured veg protein and other meat substitutes/protein sources. The dishes seemed to be very authentic Thai stir fries and curries, with varying flavours and levels of spice. Go in with an open mind, you might not know what everything is but I definitely recommend trying a bit of everything, you can always go back for more of your fave dishes!

My favorite ! - Edit
This small local restaurant is very close to my house so I go to eat there almost everyday for lunch. Always something different to eat, a good choice, tasty food and for a very cheap price (60 bath - 1,55 euros) for a big plate.

Best vegan place on Samui - Edit
100% vegan with a great selection of food out front which you can select to eat with your brown rice. Generous portions and good price. 50 baht for one plate of brown rice with two portions of whatever you choose. They speak some English here. Some food is spicy. I love the shitaki mushrooms.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Good food, Good price
Cons: Only open until 4pm.

A flavour party!! - Edit
We were just driving past & our vegan radar spotted the "vegan food" sign, getting us to stop immediately. And it was well worth it! She only had buffet food available, but we love eating like that, where you get lots of different bites, & it was out of this world. This isn't fancy looking food, but it's packed with flavour!! You can choose spicy or non-spicy dishes, or some of everything, which we did. Most dishes are made with textured soy protein & were a revelation in mock meat for us! Will definitely make our way back! (Happy Cow says it's only open during the day, but we had an early evening dinner there.)

Great vegan food! - Edit
I've been coming here for many years. The owner Pi Lek is a lovely lady, a devout Buddhist. The food is traditional and cooked without onion or garlic, but doesn't lack flavour! It's very affordable and hearty food, some dishes are quite spicy though, so beware if you don't like chilli! Just ask

authentic spicy vegan buffet - Edit
We ate here several times during our one week stay on Samui. Quality of food is very good and one can choose between 8 - 10 different meals from the buffet. 50% non-spicy 50% Thai-hell spicy! I loved it! The lovely lady who runs the place will point out what is what (spicy/non-spicy)
Read more1 plate sets you back 50 - 70 Bt.
Good to have a scooter to reach the place. Take away is possible.
Pros: authentic Thai food, good value for money
Cons: the prices are not transparent to the customer

Farrangh prices - Edit
Pre-cooked food you select on a "cart" / counter towards the street.
Read moreMost of it is quite spicy. She has soy fake meat, fake pork, etc.
The restaurant feels a bit claustrophobic but you get free cucumbers at the table, if you want.
Prices are a bit confusing. Thai people seem to pay 50B, but I was charged 70B. I asked what prices are but did not get an answer - she just looked confused as if she did not speak a word of English (or pretended she did not). (No communication problems when ordering though.) Not that 20B matter that much but it is annoying when people try to rip you off based on your skin color.
I decided to give it a second chance and went again for take-away. I asked to have a meal for fifty (ha-sip) baht. she asked which dishes I wanted so I pointed to two that looked nice. I think she did not recognized that I had been there before (and thus knew the prices). Somehow she made it so that I should pay 150 ... 50 for each dish and one of the dishes she put in 2 bags. So 3 bags and each would cost 50.
I don't understand why take-away would be three times as expensive as eating in the restaurant.
Pros: Soya meat, cheap
Cons: Rips off farranghs (foreigners), Claustrophobic, no or only little English

Price is the same for everyone.. I am eating there every days for lunch and price depends on the amount of food you chose. Also if you take sausages or more mock meat, you pay 20 baths more... A plate can cost between 50 and 80 baths, depending on what you ask for...
Read moreYour title is totally wrong. I hate this kind of reviews because it doesn't reflect the truth ! I have been eating there everyday for 2 months and people pay always the same price (tourists and locals)
Take away is always a bit more expensive than eating in the restaurant.. same if you go to Khunnay !
You get more rice and more food in the plastic bags. If you chose mock meat, you pay more... Just to let you know 150 bath is about 4 euros... and 2 person can eat for 2 euros each... If you think its a total rip off. next time maybe go to the Savana in Africa and maybe you will pay less !

Eat With The Locals - Edit
On the north lake road and now very clearly marked, it would be difficult to miss the yellow and red sign marked 'Vegan'. Although food is pre cooked, this is common in Asian buffets and one should arrive around the lunch hour for just prepared dishes. Nevertheless, there are several choices and natural rice. Sit with the locals and monks while avoiding the tourists.

A basic but vegan eatery - finally! - Edit
Had troubles to find the place, located on the ring road north of lake Chaweng. Maybe use International School of Tourism as landmark.
Read moreFood was nice (brown rice and a choice of cold cooked dishes). Unfortunately no cold drinks available when I visited. Good place to stock up on vegan Ramen style cup noodles - had been looking for this all over the place.
It is the only place in K.S. where I could be sure that no animal flesh was present in the same kitchen.
Updated from previous review on Thursday December 05, 2013
Pros: purely vegan, little shop with cup noodles etc.
Cons: difficult to locate (but sign outside)

Fantastic vegan Thai food - Edit
Not only is the owner a very sweet lady who speaks good English, the typical 'choose yourself from the stall' options are plentiful and taste simply authentic. I have been living in Thailand for over 10 years and have not come across a Thai restaurant serving this quality of vegan food yet!
Read morePros: large choice, friendly staff, great taste
Cons: none

Okay - Edit
If you're looking for a pure veg place in Chaweng area there are few options and this may be one of the safest without driving too far. It's a little far to walk there from the strip, so you'll need a likely need a motorbike unless you're staying at the north end.
Read moreIt's your typical "Jay" (veggie) place with food that's been cooked early in the day and sits out for the rest of the day. They do have some made-to-order items, but you'll need someone who speaks Thai to help you order.
Many of the items are quite spicy, rice is good. They also had some vegan cookies and moon cakes when I was there.
Overall, an okay spot, especially considering the other options.
Pros: All Veg, Inexpensive
Cons: Food sits out
