Spacious. Attentive Staff. Filling Meals. - Edit
In the Spring of 2019, I went to the 2nd / newer location of this eatery. I got the sense that this is a family-owned place.
Read moreAt this point, the exact dishes I relished have been lost to memory, but I remember the staff workers being attentive and curious about us: our young waiter came to us with a map, asking me where I was from. I remember a grandfatherly, older person speaking to me kindly, in English, about what brought me to Yangon at the time.
This is a solid vegan restaurant to patron if you'd like to support a local business.

Nice food, unclear prices, fake meat everywhere in the menu - Edit
We ate at this restaurant three times during our stay in Yangon for three reasons: 1) it’s not bad, 2) there are not many vegan restaurants in the city, and 3) it’s relatively clean - in a country where hygiene isn’t exactly a priority. We definitely didn’t like their menu mostly because the fake meats dominate it (I would say around 70% of the menu consists of fake meats - pig heart, chicken wing, lamb stomach, and the list goes on). It means we basically ate the same dishes the three days. The portions are big enough, they serve tea for free and the staff is friendly. You won’t see any prices in the menu, which is something I really didn’t like, only on those on the walls, which makes things a bit confusing. Apparently most dishes cost something between 2000 and 4000 kyats, good for a vegan restaurant but more expensive than the same dishes in non vegetarian restaurants in the city. The price of the steamed rice remains a mystery for me: in the first day we were charged 800 kyats for it, in the second 1600 (we then protested and ended up paying 800 kyats), and in the third day it costed 1600 kyats once again, but since we were in four people we didn’t protest. Weird restaurant. The only reason why I’m not giving it three starts is the lack of other options in the city in the same price range.

I don’t understand how this place has so many good reviews. - Edit
I’m so sorry. I hate to leave a negative review about a vegan restaurant especially as the staff were all lovely... but the food here was bad. Limp, soggy, bland and tasteless food.
Read moreWe also way over-ordered. There are no prices on the menu and we checked with a English speaking man that we weren’t being silly ordering a few dishes to share but he assured us it wasn’t too much.
We were also brought a big bowl of steamed rice which I had about a spoonful of but was charged 1,600kyat for on the bill which came to 12,600kyat in total for two people. By far the most expensive food we’ve had in Myanmar and the worst. Frustrating when you’re on a budget.
I tend to stick to veggie/vegan only places in Asia but in Myanmar it’s not always necessary, super easy just to ask for “Thatalo” (no living things) and I’ve never had a problem.
Would’ve been one star if I could.
Pros: Lovely staff, Loads of options
Cons: Bland, Tasteless, Expensive

So many options! - Edit
Appears to be totally vegan (but can’t confirm this), with a lot of options (including faux ‘abdomen salad’ and such delicacies if you feel adventurous). Friendly staff who are keen to help. Good food at low prices. None of the prices are in English but the menu items themselves are in both Burmese and English so ordering is easy.
Read morePros: Lots of options for veggies and vegans, Friendly staff, Low prices
Cons: No English prices (but you can ask), Not much atmosphere

Cheap local vegan food - Edit
More than 200 vegan dishes to choose from at very low price (most under 2500k=2euro) very big portions. Food is nice and local style. The owner does not speak much English but is also very friendly. The only downside is the setting in a very stuffy odd looking room.

Great vegan spot in Yangoon - Edit
This was an amazing surprise, these guys put so much work into their protein which is too often lacking even in most western vegan restaurant. So many different textures are available and listed as "artificial chicken, duck, mutton" etc...
Read moreThe menu is very extensive (too much? Maybe!) but we took lot of inspiration from it and came back several times to try as many things as possible.
The family who runs it is so lovely and it was a pleasure to dine in their restaurant.
Pros: Lots of veggies, Different protein texture all housemade, Great pricing
Cons: Menu too complicated

Names are just Names - Edit
Like the title, everything in the restaurant is named like the "real" meat food, but instead it is fake meat. And it was delicious! It is not cosy and looks like a typical asian foodcorner. But anyway the service was very nice and the food really good.

Believe this place to be vegan - Edit
We had two visits here. It was great to be somewhere that was purely vegetarian with a huge menu of over 200 dishes and variations. They do a lot of mock meats made of Seitan, tofu, and beans and lentils. They’ve created artificial crab, squid, liver and heart (if you miss that kind of thing!) as well as other imitations of chicken and pork etc. Huge portions - you can definitely share dishes. The man there is so lovely and welcoming as well as his staff. We ate in once and then got food to takeaway. Definitely recommend. I believe this place to be vegan as the manager said there is no egg or milk used. But be sure to double check for egg noodles and use of fish sauce too as we found in Myanmar they class fish/oyster sauces as still being vegetarian. We had no problems here at this place but still best to be sure :)

You will rely on this place in Yangon! - Edit
Small, moderately priced and great service and great food. I ate lunch and dinner here everyday! Ran by a cute old man and his family the menu is absolutely huge and extensive with lots of exciting fake meats - the deep fried 'chicken' leg is a stand out dish! You also always get free tea, mango and chilli sauce and pickled cucumber with every meal.

a very decent option but missing something - Edit
Only a few minutes walk from my hostel (Once in Yangon hostel - highly recommended) run by a lovely gentleman and his willing children. Greeted with a smile and upon sitting down was plied with tasty watermelon while I reviewed the menu. This thing is vast! There is about 8 pages with maybe 25 options per page. It was pretty overwhelming! I selected the fried noodle, Chinese cabbage, crispy pork skin and ruby roast duck. The duck and noodles were quite pleasant but the vegetable dish was lacking flavour and not really what I was expecting. The crispy duck was kind of like prawn crackers on top of some seaweed which was actually more enjoyable to eat. All 4 dishes came to 9500. It was a lot of food (I ate it all lol) so would be fine to share between 2. I would go again but ask the staff more about what I was ordering to help have a more enjoyable experience.

Saving place - Edit
We were really happy to find this place in Yangon. Because it was not burmese or indian cuisine, in the first place. We ordered fried rice, wonton soup and stir fried veggies, and it all cost us 6000 kyat, which i think very reasonable cause the portions were pretty big. The stuff is very friendly, especially the owner, nice chinese grandpa :) on the next day, they mistook our order though, but it was ok.
