Aka Kwadin Restaurant. Offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet of vegan Laotian food (no a la carte): rice, noodles, soup, steam buns, a variety of vegetables and faux meat dishes (10 or so). Could get individual items to take away from the buffet. For a larger variety, it's best to arrive after 10am. Directions: look for the basket shop, and head down the adjacent alley that leads into Khua Din Market, walk for 50m, and restaurant is on the left opposite food stalls and a car park. Has a yellow 'Chay' sign. If still not sure where it is, ask for "kin jay" (eat vegetarian). Open Mon-Sun 9:00am-3:00pm.

Awesome Buffet - Edit
The buffet for all you can eat costs 50K and a plate with rice and 3 options 25K.
Read moreThe buffet is very delicious and quite varied, I wish I didn't put so much rice at first to try more! The food might be warm or cold, which didn't bother me a lot. Plenty of things were delicious.
The coconut pumpkin dessert is extremely delicious and free water is also available.
Pros: Lots of options, All vegan, Great price for value
Cons: Sometimes cold food

Could Be Awesome. - Edit
Second time here, arrived earlier in the day and mostly cold dishes. No spicy basil like I mentioned days ago, noodles were bagged/impossible to serve and found tea with honey in the fridge (even though reported 100%). It's easy and fairly cheap, but didn't feel great after the meal. If they had heat lamps or warmers and were more welcoming, it could be awesome. There is a young girl that speaks English that was very inviting. Other than that it's a crap shoot.

So delicious - wish I had more stomach space! - Edit
The all you can eat buffet for 40k is amazing with so many textures and flavours. They even had a savoury soup and a coconut sago dessert soup with corn, sweet pumpkin and taro. Everyone is so lovely and friendly there, plus there’s free water and they sell a lot of vegan products at the front of the restaurant too.

Great value vegan buffet - Edit
Yes the food is cold but there’s a great variety (over a dozen dishes), hot soup (with herbs & noodles you can add), warm rice and a dessert station. All you can eat was 40,000 Kip and less if you just want a plate of food.

simply great food and a nice welcome...gets busy with locals so you can be sure it is good. The buffet has many choices and there are takeaway options. There is a small stock of veggie dried goods and faux meat products. Recommended.

Simple, good food for a fair price - Edit
Good restaurant. There were around twelve options in the buffet, with things such as rice, noodles, vegetables (cooked and fried), soups, tofu etc. They don’t use onion and garlic, but some dishes were a bit too spicy for our taste. The owner, a middle age lady, could speak a bit of English and affirmed everything is 100% vegan. The place is also clean. The price is very good, 30000 kip per person for the buffet. I wouldn’t mind to come back if I had to.

Nice range of all vegan food - Edit
Great to try out some local Laotian vegan food but careful if you don’t like spicy food!! The banana leaf wrap has a hot pepper in it and my boyfriend almost died eating it. The soup is great, it tastes like a Tom yum soup almost!

Good choice if you are hungry - Edit
This place had a good 12 options when we went there at 11am plus soup and rice aswell as a sweet dish.
Read moreThe Laab, curry and sweet and sour tofu were all delicious. There was also a few dishes which I was a bit scared to try but the locals were enjoying them so they must have been nice aswell.
Come when you are hungry as it's all you can eat and there's loads to chose from
Google maps may take you behind the shop in to a car park, but it's actually on the side of those buildings where there are open front shops selling clothes and other goods
Pros: Cheap cheap cheap, Loads of choice , Clean inside

Local vegan food, simple but good - Edit
As you arrive you find a small restaurant which offers the food as a buffet for a fixed price which is shown at the door.
Read moreRice, noodles, soup, vegetables and dishes with meat replacing stuff like soy. And really nice coconut curry gravy.
Even if you might feel a bit uncomfortable in the first seconds, try it, it is worth the food and the experience.

Dopest place - Edit
Banging food, banging price. I ate until I was going to be sick. Not a huge selection but the pumpkin curry and the peanutty salad thing were to die for. Would definitely go every day if I lived here. Beats Vegie Hut hands down.... Times a zillion

Huge selection, awesome mock meat - Edit
I came just before 11:30 and there was still a massive range of food. Unfortunately it was luke warm, the mock meat was delicious but the meals were very dense, with a heap of sauce and unidentifiable vegetables, I wasn't quite a fan of, but I know would be up a lot of others alleys. I found the vegan buffet restaurant on the other side of town a lot better, with more accommodating staff, tastier warmer food and also the vegan coffee shop next store was so yum, so I'd definitely recommend that over this buffet.

good if in the area - Edit
I found this lunch buffet was slightly smaller than other in town. The food was tasty, but it is a small restaurant in the market and so not easy to get to or get a seat. Friendly staff. I probably wouldn’t travel to get here - unlike some others.

Very good value for money in Vientiane - Edit
Directions on Happy Cow are quite good although note that the bus station is currently under reconstruction so may not be obvious on Thanon Nongbone as the main arrival/departure part of it is currently on Thanon Khouvieng. The basket shop is right on the corner of the alley and Thanon Nongbone. Go about 100m down the alley, past one turnoff on the left (which leads to one parking area), until one passes all the clothes, textile and dry goods stalls on the right and reaches a row of food stalls adjacent to a car parking area (also on the right). Kuadin vegetarian restaurant is directly opposite and has a yellow ‘Chay’ sign outside (see photo).
Read moreFood was good, diverse, cheap (25,000kip/person for as much as you want) and plenty of it including a delicious desert of sago, cassava and coconut milk. Restaurant is simple and clean (tiled floor and walls).
