Not my favourite, but very nice - Edit
We tried this place after it came highly recommended on happycow. We ordered Singapore noodles and red curry. Something was lost in translation but we got Singapore noodles and a white curry. This meal was definitely not to our (western) palate. Mrs Pong was very nice and told us all about her 5-yr fermented Noni juice.
Read moreThe Singapore noodles had an almost rancid floral flavour due to some unfamilar native herbal and did not taste like any Singapore noodles that we've had (including in Singapore!). She could tell we didn't like it and kindly brought us out a replacement dish of basil fried rice, which was pretty good.
The curry was nice, and besides tofu and jackfruit, I didn't recognize the other vegetables in there. So quite interesting. However, it just didn't really hit the spot for me, which I think is probably just because it's not what I'm used to and there were so many new vegetables in there.
I wouldn't go back, but you should go if you have an adventurous palate. It was also quite expensive.
Pros: Extremely homemade, Very nice woman running it, Gave us free food when we didn't like one dish
Cons: Didn't like the food, Expensive

Best organic salad on island - Edit
My favorite place on the island. You must try Mix green organic salad with homemade coconut dressing. All the veggie are so fresh and yummy as she uses organic vegetables from her garden. You can taste the difference. Good size portion as well! I could eat her salad everyday for lunch. Hmm

Tasty food without the nasties - Edit
Tasted a lot healthier than other curries we had (less intense/salty), which was nice. It did also advertise no MSG/sugar. Great flavors, good portions and friendly service. Could have done with some more tofu and spice but otherwise perfect and would definitely go again
Read morePros: Felt very healthy compared to some, Friendly staff, Quick service

Good organic food - overpriced - Edit
This restaurant serves delicious Thai food. Authentic and she told me she does every paste herself. I had a spicy red curry which was well prepared and delicious- maybe a bit too watery.
Read moreI asked for spicy and got a medium spicy but good
I like the taste and the used veggies, some of I have never seen or eaten before. Some nice tofu with it as well
The price is too high 250thb for a simple curry without rice. It’s still of side road dining not a fancy restaurant…
She does offer healing sessions if anyone is into that. Apparently for all kind of treatments
Pros: Vegan and organic , House made and fresh
Cons: Very expensive so not again, Simple style

Try Mrs. Pong's exquisite organic food! - Edit
Mrs. Pong is a lovely lady, 55-years young and really knows how to cook quality organic and vegan food.
Read moreShe makes one of the best Papaya Salads I have eaten so far, even though she does not use fish sauce (like in the original recipe) to make it vegan. The taste is unique and healthy and you can taste all the vegetables are grown on the farm she and her brother have.
Also try the Noni juice. Noni is a fruit that is native to Thailand and is said to support detox and to clean your blood. Evven if you don't believe in the healing energies of this plant: research shows that the fruit is extremely high in antioxidants, comparable to the Brazilian Acai and it's worth a try if you fancy healthy food.
Bonus: for me it felt like visiting my mum at home as she tells you loads of funny stories from her life and is very curious about other people. She also gave me some herbal tonic when I was feeling off one day and takes a lot of care of her guests.
Support the locals, support Mrs.Pobg and her delicious food!
Pros: Delicious Papaya Salad (Som Tam), Noni Juice

Heavily overpriced simple Thai vegan food - Edit
I really don't understand the 11 5-star reviews before me. It's just simple vegan Thai food for 2x the price you get somewhere else. It tasted boring, vegetables fresh, but tofu not well prepared.

Large portions, fancy prices - Edit
Mrs. Pong is very friendly and makes her own special take on traditional Thai dishes. Her cooking is almost entirely vegan (one noodle dish can be ordered with eggs, honey is sweetener in smoothies) and quite tasty.
Read moreHer Som Tum is creamy, almost like there is mayonnaise on it, more like a southern US salad than anything I've had in Thailand. Similarly her 'pad Thai' is tasty noodles with tons of veggies including taro...
Prices are in line with the other vegan restaurants on the island, the portions are large and the smoothies are amazing!
Pros: Almost entirely vegan , Very friendly, Creative takes on traditional dishes
Cons: Pricer than regular Thai food

BEST ORGANIC PRODUCE ON KOH PHANGAN!
Read moreThis little restaurant is owned by Mrs. Pong.
Her food is real, vibrant and healthy. She is conscious about her produce and serves only clean and organic vegetables and fruits from her own garden - freshly prepared when ordered. I love love love her green coconut salad. Try it out! Pong is amazing, lovely and beautiful and I've also seen her help people if they have been in scooter accidents, using natural healing herbs and sometimes noni juice. For the quality of the produce, the taste of the food and the warm energy from Pong I recommend this place to everyone, and will be back. Miss you Pong!

This place is the heaven on earth! When you drive trough you probably miss this place, so make shure it is your destination.
Read moreI spent 2 hours here. At first with a really really great lunch and afterwards with a really nice chat with Pong (the owner and cook).
Everything is vegan and organic from her own garden (except from one egg posibility). You order and she goes in the kitchen to cook. It is all natural and god, you taste it!
Her backgroundstory is also really interesting and i bet she will love to talk to you.
Pros: Healthy, organic, Friendly

Wonderful - truly organic-vegan Thai food! - Edit
A very positive surprise and has become my favorite eatery on the island next to Karma Cafe. The vegetables and fruits are actually organic - an absolute rarity here on the island - and the dishes are unpretentious, plentiful and really tasty, at very fair prices. The owner lady is an absolute sweetheart as well. Check out the Singkapo noodles, Numnim pudding, kaikon and papaya salad especially. This place is an absolute gem and I wish for it to thrive!
Read morePros: Pretty much completely vegan, and actually organic, Dishes can be 'customized' and are prepared prompt, Quiet and peaceful road-side location
Cons: Menu offers just seven dishes (with variations)

Best organic quality on Koh Pha-ngan - Edit
My partner and I have eaten here many times (along with most of the other vegan “organic” restaurants on the island) and Mrs. Pong’s is by far the healthiest, best quality option on the island. All her fruit and vegetables come from her backyard garden or her brothers garden from Surat Thani, and you can taste the quality. She doesn’t use oil or sugar or any jarred sauces. It’s a small, basic eatery but worth the visit if you are seeking healthy Thai.
Read morePrices are moderate-expensive but you pay for what you get. All vegan except for egg option.
Pros: Organic, Healthy
Cons: Location
