Flavour and quality - Edit
Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant. This is a quality establishment with good table service and lovely staff and chef. Food was flavoursome and there were about a half dozen entrees and half dozen mains that were vegan. Moderately priced but good value. We spent about $120 for four people including drinks. Chef is doing a vegan degustation in March 2020 if you are interested!
Read morePros: Plenty of vegan options. Delicious flavours.
Cons: None

Ferdi is amazing the food is Delish - Edit
This is fantastic food if you know flavor and fresh ingredients come here. Ferdi works his [censored] off to make it an experience. I’ve come here for my birthday and have had amazing vegan 3 course meals. This is a family business and you feel like it when you come in. Full range of vegan options. Secret get the spring rolls you won’t regret it.

Yuck! Don't go! Overpriced and terrible service - Edit
After 8 years in the hospitality industry myself i thought nothing could shock me anymore. Well, Mr soy boy did. Shabby place with no flair. The two waitresses were completely ignorant to us and one didn't even speak english and the other had no idea of the menu. Already left with mixed feelings the owner made things worse. After returning a juice which tasted like soap (!!) it was later on our bill. We orderd our food mild, which he said he could do. It was way too spicy. I understand that the cuisine uses spice but if you say one thing and deliver another that's not ok. I don't even need to mention that no one asked if we enjoyed our meal like in any decent restaurant. After letting the owner know about the issues in a calm manner he isulted us as 'tourists who'll never come back anyways'(sure won't no problem mate) and blamed the [censored] quality of his meals on our 'European tastebuds' and that we were just used to european food. (Yeah right mate been living in Australia for 4 years and that's not the first time i eat asian). Oh and lastly he, instead of taking advice like any good restaurant owner, through us out the door. Oh my god. Worst restaurant EVER. Good places to go to instead of here: La pizza in the city, fusion restaurant in the city, any sushi train, but really any other restaurant in cairns or Australia.

A must eat restaurant! - Edit
Best vegan meal I've had in quite a while! And best meal I've had in Cairns. You can really taste the different levels in the food which shows that they do put some thought into cooking. Decent proportion too. Beautifully done! Absolutely recommend it whether you are vegan or not. Next to Earlville shopping centre.

Fantastic Food from a Talented Chef - Edit
Amazing, fresh, and tasty asian food. They have several vegan options listed on the menu and a few dishes not listed that can be made vegan, including every noodle dish. The chef here is really friendly and will tell you all of the things that he can make vegan if you ask.
Read moreMr soy boy serves, by far, the best vegan food I've had in australia. I wish I could give them 5 stars, because they deserve it.
UPDATE 13/02/19: I came back to Cairns for a babymoon and Mr Soy Boy is still the best!
I love the new vegan menu, everything on it is sooooo flavorful! Every vegan in Cairns should try their food. My favorite dish was the sizzling mongolian market vegetables with some flat rice noodles, it was absolutely delicious! My partner's favourite was the pad thai. I wish we lived in Cairns so we could come here more often.

Beware! - Edit
We ordered over $100 worth of vegan food and a curry turned up with beef. We contaminated other dishes before we realised. Ended up with 2/3 food inedible. The owner was super rude and unhelpful and blamed uber eats. Refused to replace food.

Hayley,
Read moreAs previously discussed with you, Uber Eats admitted full responsibility for this order and refunded you for the incorrect item. We understand that you were unhappy that you received a dish containing meat and have apologized for that. We are not responsible for your choice of combining all dishes. To fully enjoy our food we suggest trying each dish individually. It is quite unfair to expect that we would re cook an entire order because of your action and would appreciate you not slandering our business on social media

Delicious Chilli Tofu - Edit
The chilli tofu was delicious. The menu has vegan and vegetarian options marked. The owner came out to speak with me because I'd ordered a vegan dish and said he was trying to attract more vegans and vegetarians to the restaurant so hopefully he will add more dishes as it becomes more popular. Definitely with trying.

Dear emkat,
