Delicious Thai food with a Family Feel

Great Thai vegan restaurant with warm and welcoming service. It felt like a multi-generational family run place, which added to the charm.
The food was full of flavour. We tried the fried chicken, spring rolls, fried mixed vegetables with sweet basil and rice, and the fried rice with green curry. Everything was delicious, but the standout for me was definitely the fried chicken.
I would happily return.

Pros: All vegan , Family vibes, Delicious food

Simple vegan in special place

Simple vegan in special place

Nong J...5 stars

Near where I stay walk busy streets here. Reminisant of Bharata yet mellower

Arrived

Humble setting. Buddhist and Hindu deities form a mudra. Family photos

It is 10:08am in Phuket as I write this. Tendrel moment. Buddhist Bhajans play. Traffic noise on street.

Ants crawl on table. Ahimsa. Let them be

Server suggestion fried chicken breast. All vegan restaurant.

No thanks

Instead went with large serving of fried mix vegetable and sweet basil with large serving of white rice came with

Sadhana of hatha yoga before. After breakfast will bounce home for mantra. Prayer. Meditation

Lifestyle of the yogi on the road like jack Kerouac

I asked for medium heat came with some red chili that packed heat ..rajs...tomorrow back get something different mild...sans chili peppers to keep it satvic

Amazing vegan food in a family business :)

I ate at Nong J soo many times! They're food is very good with lots of options. Dishes come with a little soup. The kids in there are so friendly and love chatting :)
The massaman curry is very good, so is the kale with 'salty fish' and pad Thai!

Pros: very homely

Amazing authentic food

It's a little strange for a European to eat in a place like this, as its an open area. But it is one of the best places I have been travelling around Thailand.

Food is amazing, it's a good price, and the atmosphere of the family run business is also really good.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Authenticity

Authentic, delicious and cheap - not all vegan

Tldr; food was great and cheap, many options. On our way our we grabbed many snacks, one had butter in it.

Many dishes, very thai based. Many things I’ve never tried, some spicy (like everything in Thailand).

Pros: Delicious, Many options, Authentic thai

Reasonably priced good food with huge menu

I had the massaman curry and vegan pancakes (which were deep fried vegetable fritters). Both were really good and the waitress was very friendly. Would definitely recommend here!

Great find

Lucky that this place was a 2 min walk from where we stayed! Ate there twice and really enjoyed it. Authentic, cheap, lovely staff and amazing food! We had the glass noodle salad, pancakes (more fritters), duck and chicken stir fry with rice. Excellent!

Pros: Authentic, Friendly staff, Wide choice

Good authentic Thai restaurant

A lot of Thai dishes completely vegan and great experience. We tried fried chicken, fried meatballs, catfish salad and pork with kefir lime leaves. Everything was amazing and nice staff.
Oily, but worth it if you're on a vacation. Or just don't care :)
Highly recommended.

Excellent

- catfish - excellent! but very fried
- pad Thai - excellent!
- glass noodles with roast duck - great
- fried mushroom - great
- fried chicken - excellent! 10/10 not sure how they made it taste so much like chicken.. The most chicken-like chicken I've had in 10 years being vegan
- morning glory - great
- massaman curry - excellent

Fully vegan place! Even have a bunch of unique vegan snacks in the front. They even served filtered water with filtered ice

Super authentic, delicious and cheap

We ate there 3 times and every time tried different things. My favourite is pad Thai and chicken with basil, or duck with basil. But the spicy fried rice was delicious and same goes for dumplings and pancakes. The curry was very good as well. I was not a big fan of the streaky pork with ginger, but I guess some might like it. You also get a small soup/broth as starter for free.

WOW

So glad we found this gem. Food was delicious. Extremely cheap. Everything came out of the kitchen so quickly it was amazing. Every dish we ordered was excellent. If you can’t find it on Google or how to get there on Maps - try Nong J

Authentic Thai Vegan

Nong Jay is a cute family-run restaurant that serves not only tourists but also Thais. The place has character, also functioning for day care for the family youth. You fell like you’re in someone’s home.

The menu is moderate in size and it’s all vegetarian. I ordered a “catfish” spicy salad and a mock meat dish with veggies. I enjoyed the latter more. The “catfish” was too crunchy for my taste. The servers are very friendly and do their best to help with their limited English.

Confusing but worth it

We got here and knew it’d be confusing based on other reviews but it was CONFUSING. There wasn’t anyone really there, the one person in the restaurant ignored us. We left, and then decided to give it another go, and were seated by the man in the kitchen.

The food is good - we got the duck which is that sort of mock meat which doesn’t really taste like anything except mock meat, in a good way. It wasn’t the sort of mock meat that replicated actual meat to a concerning degree

The menu had price, but after we were done the guy who was serving us said 200 baht which is extremely worth it in my opinion

I will be back next time I’m in Phuket

Pros: Authentic and honest food, Fun vibes

Cons: Confusing
