inexpensive and delicious vego food - Edit
Morning Glory is a family run restaurant serving cheap and delicious vego food that is mostly vegan ... for a late lunch today I had fresh spring rolls and massaman curry ... the vegies in the spring rolls were fresh, crunchy and tasty and the peanut sauce was very nice ... the massaman curry was really delicious and rates as one of the best I have tasted ... most dishes are ฿60 each and represent very good value given that you order off the menu and the food is freshly prepared
Pros: lots of vegan options

BEST THAI FOOD! - Edit
Though my entire trip to Thailand through north and south this was the BEST Thai food I had! All of the food was so flavourful and well made. We ate here every day because nothing else even came close. My first impression was it was a little run down and the man wasn't very friendly. I think it's just his personality; not super chatty. The woman was very nice and sweet. I'm assuming they get many travellers as customers and not so many locals because the man gave us a pen and paper and left. Assuming we write down our order we did. Everything came in good time and I was extremely impressed. My mother (a meat eater) didn't miss the egg her Pad Thai or any meat in general. She said it was the best Pad Thai she has ever had. The best green curry full of veggies! I can't say it enough how great the food was. And to make everything even better the prices are so cheap! 60 bht for most meals. I ate more than I ever had because it was all so good and at such a great prices. If I ever come back to Thailand I will stay at the same hotel as it's just right around the corner from Morning Glory!! (Chiangmai Boutique House) The location of the restaurant is on old town Chiang Mai and close to some great temples and about a 25 minute walk from the night bazaar! The restaurant in itself is a bit hard to spot from the street (I walked right past it the first time) There are lots of plans in front and it's to the left of a travel information store. Definitely recommend making the stop into Morning Glory!
Pros: AMAZING FOOD, Cheap prices
Cons: Its kind of hard to spot from the street.

one of the best - Edit
great place to sit and watch Chiang Mai go by and have some of the best vegan food around. All the dishes are well presented, good portions and extremely enjoyable. This place represents great value but not lacking on quality. The menu has some great dishes to choose from. I would say this is must visit if in Chinag Mai. Wine with the dinner would be nice though, but would not prevent me from coming.
Pros: quality of food is excellent , value for money , great location

Great delivery - Edit
Morning Glory does delivery which was always fresh and hot, it quickly became the easiest option for me whenever i didn't feel like going out for dinner. Their spring rolls are amazing.
Pros: Large menu, Hot food
Cons: Fried items can be a little too oily sometimes

Lovely Place with good food. - Edit
All of the meals except 2 are vegan. I liked the food. The owners of this place are very nice, the menucard is very nicely done and gives you also tips for the thai-language. Prices are cheap but not the cheapest around.
Pros: cheap, quality-food, heartwarming staff
Cons: small place, not much variation for breakfast

Delicious - Edit
A very nice little restaurant, friendly family running it, reasonable prices (every dish is 60 baht, extra rice is 20) and generous on the tofu. Their panang curry and tom yum are fabulous! Not sure why people keep going to that terrible veg food stall at the nearby CM gate when you could come here and have a much better meal for nearly the same price.

Yum! - Edit
I had the pad thai vegan from here and the spring rolls. Both were awesome. The spring rolls have a tomatoey sauce drizzled on top instead of as a dip, really nice presentation and tasted just as good.

Best vegan food in Chiang Mai - Edit
Luckily I traveller with a friend who was just as greedy and hungry as me and we tried a big selection of the dishes at Morning Glory. Though the waiting time was long it was well worth the wait! My only regret is we didn't have time to do the vegan Thai cooking course!
Pros: Fresh flavours, Offer cooking classes
Cons: Hard to find

Food Good, Service Slow - Edit
The prices seem reasonable at first glance but the proportions are small, more like tapas. You need to order like 4-5 per person for meal. The service is extremely show. Family run business.
Pros: great food taste, not afraid to use spices, reasonable prices for snacks
Cons: small proportions, very slow to get meal, can't seat too many people, small shop

Tasty food but very bad service - Edit
We ordered the Pad Thai and the Pumpkin Soup, both tasty but the portion size was rather small although the prize is a little bit higher than elsewhere in Chiang Mai (60 Baht). I also found a hair in my Pad Thai..... But rather than wasting a plate of otherwise good food I just threw it away and enjoyed my meal.
The service was absolutely bad. We weren't greeted when we entered the restaurant despite us being the only guests. Even when the waiter who seemed really bored wrote down our order he didn't say anything to us.
What a huge contrast to the service and happy nice people at Happy Green! Their menue is also very outworn. There isn't much love in this place. Can not recommend.
Pros: Food is okay, Almost vegan place
Cons: Hair in food , Bad service, Restaurant is a little outworn

Nice food, poor service - Edit
The food was fresh and tasty - though the main ingredient in my dish - the tofu - was absent, and when I asked about it, I was swiftly presented with 4 pieces of cold tofu on a plate to add myself. No apology or effort. I left pretty quickly as it seemed to be a bother that I was there.
Pros: Fresh tasting
Cons: Staff, Effort

Best Vegan Restaurant in Chiang Mai - Edit
We found this place because it was the only vegan/vegetarian place opened after 6 nearby, food is delicious to say the least, they make it according to every person's taste and need. We ordered the vegetarian "fish" (seitan) with seaweed and coconut milk, deep fried seaweed served with chili-mango sauce, friend bean sprouts with tofu, brown rice, and for dessert the black sticky rice with coconut milk, mango and banana. I got hungry just by writing this, everything was perfect and a great value. The place is run by a very nice and pretty lady who speaks very good English, she even offers Thai cuisine courses if you're interested
