Great food and great service

This restaurant is definitely worth 5 stars in my opinion, the owner is so lovely, she can make every dish on the menu vegan and is very knowledgeable with vegan food. The pad thai was by far the best I’ve had in Thailand, the Kow Soi was also so delicious. The prices are also insanely cheap. Literally not a bad thing to say.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lovely staff , Cheap prices

Lovely staff

Really friendly accommodating chatty staff. Menu doesn’t have anything vegan marked but they will make anything vegan! They can also make their Thai iced tea with coconut milk. We found the portions a little small but the food was delicious and to a high standard. Prices were good value for quality

Pros: Can make anything vegan, Cheap, Accommodating staff

Cons: Small portions

Amazing food and service!!

Ok so I created a profile just to write a review for this restaurant.
We received such a warm welcome as soon as we arrived, and the owner asked us right away if we were vegans or vegetarians. She definitely is very familiar with veganism. We chatted a lot, she was just so sweet and caring. We had the green and red curries and they were absolutely delicious. The thai tea was also very good. The portions are quite big for a thai restaurant, so be careful not to order too much. I'm a big eater and I was more than full with just the curry.

I definitely recommend you to give it a try. It is totally worth the visit. 5 stars.

Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Friendly staff

Fantastic!

We came here based on the previous reviews and can completely agree with them. The owner is super friendly and though the menu is filled with meaty dishes, she has a solid understanding of vegan food so we were not worried about any animal ingredients being used. The portions were decent so we accidentally ordered too much. The owner is happy to make anything on the menu vegan. I had a Thai green curry and it was great. Very flavourful and generous with the tofu.
Dishes are well priced for the quality and portion size, around 160 baht per dish.
Restaurant is next to a relatively busy junction but it didn't bother us.

Pros: Very friendly owner, Good quality food, Trusted the food was vegan

Cons: Close to busy road, Standard menu is very meaty

Vegan Thai Heaven

Genuinely friendly owner who is well aware of what is vegan. She can make almost everything on the menu vegan. We ordered from the Thai menu on 3 separate occasions, and it was amazing every time. Some of the best food I’ve ever had, and I felt 100% confident about the quality! Can’t recommend enough

Simply the very best

I stumbled upon Sweet Monkey while wandering around and looking for some food. I couldn’t believe my luck. Sweet Monkey is, quite sincerely, the best restaurant I have ever been to. I went back to eat there every day for weeks, until I left Thailand. Lucky, the owner and chef of the restaurant, makes incredible homemade Thai and Italian food that is beyond delicious, and you can tell with every bite that it is made with love. If you are vegetarian or vegan, simply let them know and they will be very accommodating. Lucky also makes the greatest homemade chocolate brownie and coconut ice cream I’ve ever tasted. Not only is the food so good, but Lucky and Jimda are truly some of the friendliest, coolest, and sincerest people I have ever met. The restaurant ambiance is beautiful and peaceful with many plants and intriguing decorations from around the world. I am certain that as soon as I am back in Thailand, I will be eating at Sweet Monkey again. It’s that awesomely good. Yes, there is free wifi. 5/5 stars; Happy Cow for some reason only allows 4/5. Bonus: Ask Lucky for the “Lucky Sweet Monkey Time Check.”

Pros: Friendly Staff, Incredible Homemade Food, Beautiful Environment

Great for vegans

The owner here was so sweet and accommodating. It was a bit confusing since nothing on the menu was vegan but she made sure it could be made vegan. Make sure you talk to the owner, the older lady, because the other girl was super sweet but didn’t really know what we were talking about.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Delicious

The owner is a really nice lady who can do almost any meal on the menu vegan and can customise your meal according to your needs and taste. Quick service. I had a salad that had pork in the original recipe, she switched it for tofu and lowered the price from 140 to 100. The food was good and fresh. Would go back again.

Pros: Can veganise almost every meal, Lower price for veganised meals

Top Vegan/Vegetarian option in Ao Nang

You may not be able to tell at first by looking at the menu, but Sweet Monkey has the ability to make each dish (besides the desserts) Vegan or Vegetarian. The owner is knowledgeable about Veganism and knows exactly how to adjust the dishes to accommodate. In my opinion it makes them one of the best Vegan/Vegetarian options in all of Ao Nang. The Pad Thai was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the curry was also amazing and perfectly seasoned. They’re also wonderful people, so nice!! A must if you are in the Krabi area. Would adjust to 5 stars barring site rules.

Pros: Authentic Thai food , Cheap!, Nicest owners

Cons: Not quite clear that it can be Vegan at first

Delicious vegan curry and pad thai

Wonderful and flavorful vegan options served by the sweetest lady, Lucky. She speaks English and was able to make any dish on her menu vegan. The green curry was flavorful with perfectly cooked veggies and tofu and the pad Thai was lovely and super flavorful as well. Truly Some of the best food we've had in Thailand so far! Every dish is made fresh to order.

Pros: Lovely outdoor atmosphere, accommodating staff, Good value, Vegan options if requested

Cons: Not fully vegan
