Must try!

The ladies working there are lovely and speak English😊

Everything looks tasty and fresh!

Khao soi was amazing!

It is the first time in Asia I saw that the cutlery is kept in hot water to disinfect them😍

If this is what heaven is like, kill me now

The whole vibe of this place is so wholesome. The women behind the counter were so friendly and helped us pick what we wanted. And the Khao Soi was so spectacular! They also have a lot of snacks so we could fill up our bags.

Best food in Thailand so far

I ordered the Koi Soi and it was the best food I have had in Thailand so far, and I have been to many vegans and vegetarians. Also it was only 45 tbh

Cool set up and good food.

The food here was good and the high ceilings and wood furniture made it a little more homely then other Kin Jay places I’ve been to. The mushroom loaf stuff was very good!

Tamachat and a meal

This place was really convenient for lunch when we arrived at the bus station. It’s a superior jay restaurant with dishes made to order as well as a buffet and food store. We ordered a few dishes from the menu and they ranged from OK: the boat noodles and vegetables, with a fairly bland broth and gristly mushroom balls, to delicious: the Khao soi, to amazing: the stewed mushroom with noodles, with us rich tasty broth. Staff were friendly, generous and helpful. Definitely a place for lunch when you’re in Chiang Rai town (as it’s not open for dinner). Super low prices too - ฿45 per meal. #Veganuary

Unusual pleasure

One of the best Vegan meals I had anywhere in Thailand, and I had MANY 🌱. This place is run by a bunch of older ladies, they cook in the early hours of the day, and serve from around 6:30am to early afternoon hours. Different dishes each day, really good noodle soup, Chinese noodles, Khao Soi and basically anything in the pre-made bar. I ate there 3 times in my 3 days visit to Chiang Rai, each meal better than previous. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros: All vegan, Very inexpensive , Generous servings

Favourite place in Chiang Rai

I love this place. I came here every day I stayed on Chiang Rai. They have a good buffet you can choose from and also some dishes you can order. Everything is very cheap, the owner is very friendly and kind. I could always practice my Thai skills with her.

The place is big and clean. They have free water and ice cubes available. All the food is delicious and satisfying.

Pros: Delicious Food, Cheap, Great atmosphere

Cheap and tasty

You can choose from a variety already prepared dishes which are really fresh. I’ve chosen sth that looked appealing to me, not really knowing what it is but all the things appeared to be very tasty. Also the price is cheap. I strongly recommend the place.

Get There Early

Tamachat was closed every time I went by. Also there was no name for the restaurant when closed, other than the big "Vegetarian" on the awning. Finally two days before leaving Chiang Rai and Thailand, made it there by 2 p.m. Sold out of everything except the noodle bowls. I had the specialty khao soi which was delicious. My friend had the mushroom balls and noodles. Before leaving we spoke with the owner who's command of English was very good. She had earlier helped us make our selections. She did not know about Happy Cow so I explained it to her and told her about all the well-deserved reviews. My friend who is staying in Chiang Rai another month has put it on her list of "definitely a repeat."

Pros: The food available was great., Helpful owner, Big and airy.

Cons: Closes too early

Fantastic food

Not your typical Jay restaurant as it’s very big, they have hot food and a specific station for noodles/khao soi. We got some freshly made Koh soi and boat noodles. Both were very good but especially the khao soi. Nice seating. Free water available. Very good value #Veganuary

Kind owners, delicious food

60 baht for 3 choices with rice at the buffet. You have the option to buy dishes, including Khao Soi and Tom Yum, which looked amazing. The plate also included a free soup, there was also water available for free near the cutlery station.

Best value vegan food in Chiang Rai

I came here twice, getting my plate loaded from the buffet with as much as I could eat. Both times it only came to 60 baht, which is the best value I found anywhere in Chiang Rai.

It's a big place, with plenty of seating, and the food was very good. It's a place that you could come to everyday and not get bored with the selection that they have.

You’re literally on an app where you can filter by restaurants that are vegan.

Does jay generally mean vegan in thailand or does jay/vegetarian include milk/eggs etc?

beancurdled

Magsawirat means vegetarian or "no meat" and jay is closer to vegan (or Jainism, apparently) so no eggs, dairy, etc and often also excludes onions, garlic, sometimes pungent herbs and spices too.
