cheap Thai veggie food - Edit
This place is located in the food court of the MBK mall (6th floor). As of this writing the price was 50 baht for ride and two veggie dishes. Great price!
Read moreFood was fairly decent although they put way too much ginger slices in some of their dishes. The ginger slices is a Thai thing but these guys go way overboard. If you are like me and don't like ginger (or at least that much of it in one dish) then ask them which ones don't have ginger.l
In any case, overall this is truly an amazing deal for veggie food in Bangkok. Plus you can do some shopping right there at MBK!
Pros: amazingly cheap

Recommended. - Edit
Nice Chinese fast food, pretty cheap (even if you can find a bit cheaper in Bangkok). There's a variety of choice.
Read moreThe rice is not 100% white - that is a good thing to me.
I noticed people complaining about the noise (the space is large, there are a lot of people talking, other shopping and other cooking) but I never felt disturbed, it is as noisy as any usual mall in far east Asia.
Pros: Tasty food, Cheap, Nice portions

my favourite - Edit
There are cheaper vegan food stalls in town, but I kept coming back to this one. MBK has its own exit from the National Stadium Skytrain station, then keep taking the escalators up to the top floor (which also has shops that are cheaper than the department store-like ones further down -- but bargain hard). The MBK Food Island no longer uses coupons, but stored-value plastic cards (exactly the same system as the Pier 21 food court at Terminal 21, at the Asok Skytrain station on Sukhumvit, although you cannot use the same card at both). Buy a card at a Cash Card Counter, then it will be swiped at each stall you visit and you will get your card back with a receipt showing your previous balance, the amount deducted for this purchase, and how much credit you have left. The vegan stall (C8) is slightly dearer than some others in town(rice and three choices 55 baht, against 40 baht at Pier 21 and several hole-in-the-wall vegan shops I visited on Thanon Pan and Suan Plu Soi 8) but I really liked the food here. Some other stalls in the MBK food court were also more expensive than elsewhere (mangoes and sticky rice 100 baht and 120 baht compared with a bargain 35 baht and 70 baht at Pier 21) and the fruit juices were also better value at Pier 21, but you can get a 600ml bottle of drinking water for 10 baht at MBK. And MBK is vegan, while you can never tell about egg at Pier 21. On my one evening visit to MBK there seemed less choice at the vegan stall than during lunchtimes. It doesn't matter if you load more money onto the card than you end up spending, as you get an immediate hassle-free cash refund of the unspent balance at the refund counters (separate from the counters where you buy the cards).

Tastiest place so far - Edit
Easy to find, it's on the top floor of the MBK shopping centre, if you're going on the sky train then get off at the National stadium or the central station. Once there you just need to swop some baht for some equivalent value vouchers, then go get some! It's an international food court so there's loads of other types of food available, and there's an Indian place 2 shops down from the vege place, I'm sure some vegey food could be found there too.
Read moreThe place itself is totally vegetarian, I'm pretty sure it's vegan too but there is no 'Jai' '17' flag so I'm not 100%. There is loads of great tasting options there, I've been there 4 times and it always tastes excellent, it is the best food I have had in Thailand, better than the regular 'Jai' places I've been. If you totally fill your plate with about 5 or 6 different types then it'll set you back about 60-70baht, which is just over 2 dollars.
It's a 5 star rating based purely on the food, neglecting the food court bit.
Pros: Awesome taste, Cheap
Cons: Food court scenario

good for the price - Edit
It is what it is; mall food. On the other hand, it's verrry cheap and tasty and worth the 30 or 50 baht for a couple things with rice that you pay. Eat here once a week at least,

Vegan food stall - Edit
If you're stranded in MBK this is the place to eat. Good vegan food, but the surroundings is noisy. You can choose between different dishes in the stall, just point. Two different dishes with rice is around 50 baht (buy the coupons at the coupon desk). There is loads of spices to secure a hot meal! The downside is the location and the noise, but all in all a nice place to grab a quick lunch!

Excellent Food and Easy to Find - Edit
The food here was excellent and good value. Unexpected for a food court. Loved everything I tried and went back on more than one occasion. Note that before you can get your food you need to buy coupons from one of the stands. You can exchange any unused tokens for cash after you are done.
Read morePros: Fast, Excellent Quality

Cheap, tasty, and noisy - Edit
Stall C8 on the 6th floor of MBK is still doing reliably tasty (and often spicy) buffet-style vegetarian food.
Read moreIt's great value. Choose from about half a dozen pre-made dishes. Brown rice.
Get there early for both better selection and hotter (temperature) food.
If 45-baht meal there doesn't fill, try the dumpling stand just near the escalator to top up.
There's another stall (across the sea of tables) that does fresh juices, and one next to it that does fruit desserts.
Pros: Tasty vegan food, Great value
Cons: Mall food court is noisy and chaotic, Some dishes quite spicy, Food not always hot

Mmmm, amazing mall food! - Edit
I actually got sidetracked coming here the first time and ended up in the veg stall on the floor below. I prefer this one, got there at the right time and there was some fantastic selection, really delicious authentic Thai veg foods in a similar style to Aroi. Like others have said, timing is important - if you get here late then pickings will be slim.
Read morePros: great Thai veg, spicy, convenient
Cons: in a noisy mall

Get there early - Edit
I've been to Thailand a fair few times now and the wife and I love this place. It's a bit of an instituation for us.
Read moreIt's a food court place but the food is nice. They do fresh noodles and soup there as well.
The trick is to get there early. If you're there around closing time, well it's like any other food court outlet.
Important thing is that it's nice and convenient. If you're vegetarian or Vegan and it's your first trip in Bangkok, head over to MBK first. Get your strength up and then go exploring.
BTW, the food court operates on coupons.
Pros: Food, Price, Location
Cons: Noise, Hours, Coupons

One of my regular eating places - - Edit
A little Buddhist veggie gem in a huge "Food Court".
Read moreShared seating - simple dishes - low prices.
I have eaten there literally dozens of times over the years - often with my children when they were young & I was based in Bangkok.
The place is quite clean enough / quite tidy enough for me.
The owners are a group of young Buddhists.
I have always has good / wholesome / nourishing / tasty food.
The customer base is local residents / local workers.
They serve food to hundreds of people every day.
You pay for the rice / hot dishes / soups - the salad items & pickles are free.
Tip - always take a few extra lemon / lime slices whenever you eat out in Asia & Squeeze them on salad / raw items - most places give them to you for free.

Easy to find - Edit
Didn't much rate the food here. It's a bit 'take-away'. The place is noisy and crowded but is handy if you're shopping in the MBK centre (which is recommended as they sell everything you could possible need, clothes, watches, bags, without being at tourist prices).
Read morePros: easy to find, in the MBK Centre, cheap
Cons: not great quality, canteen atmosphere
