Ordered the massaman curry chicken with rice. Really delicious, spicy, nutty. I just wish the portion was a bit bigger!

Authentic, delicious and cheap - not all vegan

Tldr; food was great and cheap, many options. On our way our we grabbed many snacks, one had butter in it.

Many dishes, very thai based. Many things I’ve never tried, some spicy (like everything in Thailand).

Reasonably priced good food with huge menu

I had the massaman curry and vegan pancakes (which were deep fried vegetable fritters). Both were really good and the waitress was very friendly. Would definitely recommend here!

Great find

Lucky that this place was a 2 min walk from where we stayed! Ate there twice and really enjoyed it. Authentic, cheap, lovely staff and amazing food! We had the glass noodle salad, pancakes (more fritters), duck and chicken stir fry with rice. Excellent!

Pros: Authentic, Friendly staff, Wide choice

Good authentic Thai restaurant

A lot of Thai dishes completely vegan and great experience. We tried fried chicken, fried meatballs, catfish salad and pork with kefir lime leaves. Everything was amazing and nice staff.
Oily, but worth it if you're on a vacation. Or just don't care :)
Highly recommended.

Excellent

- catfish - excellent! but very fried
- pad Thai - excellent!
- glass noodles with roast duck - great
- fried mushroom - great
- fried chicken - excellent! 10/10 not sure how they made it taste so much like chicken.. The most chicken-like chicken I've had in 10 years being vegan
- morning glory - great
- massaman curry - excellent

Fully vegan place! Even have a bunch of unique vegan snacks in the front. They even served filtered water with filtered ice

Vegan younger sibling

We came here for dinner and were welcomed with water and cups filled with ice, perfect for the hot night. The outdoor space is cooled with fans, which seemed to do the job. The ambience, does leave something to be desired - stuff liked all over the place - but this is fairly typical of small jay restaurants. We chose spring rolls, chicken and rice and a tasty noodle soup or noodles in gravy sauce depending on your read. Both the mains were surprisingly good given the modest price (฿55), particularly the noodles, which were rich in favour. The spring rolls, which arrived after the mains, cut into mini-bites. They were fine if nothing remarkable and came with a sweet sauce I couldn’t identify as there was not much flat out other than the sweetness. We planned to come back and try other dishes from the fairly lengthy menu, but for various reasons this didn’t happen. I would recommend the restaurant, particularly if you’re on a budget: #Veganuary

Super authentic, delicious and cheap

We ate there 3 times and every time tried different things. My favourite is pad Thai and chicken with basil, or duck with basil. But the spicy fried rice was delicious and same goes for dumplings and pancakes. The curry was very good as well. I was not a big fan of the streaky pork with ginger, but I guess some might like it. You also get a small soup/broth as starter for free.

WOW

So glad we found this gem. Food was delicious. Extremely cheap. Everything came out of the kitchen so quickly it was amazing. Every dish we ordered was excellent. If you can’t find it on Google or how to get there on Maps - try Nong J

Authentic Thai Vegan

Nong Jay is a cute family-run restaurant that serves not only tourists but also Thais. The place has character, also functioning for day care for the family youth. You fell like you’re in someone’s home.

The menu is moderate in size and it’s all vegetarian. I ordered a “catfish” spicy salad and a mock meat dish with veggies. I enjoyed the latter more. The “catfish” was too crunchy for my taste. The servers are very friendly and do their best to help with their limited English.

Confusing but worth it

We got here and knew it’d be confusing based on other reviews but it was CONFUSING. There wasn’t anyone really there, the one person in the restaurant ignored us. We left, and then decided to give it another go, and were seated by the man in the kitchen.

The food is good - we got the duck which is that sort of mock meat which doesn’t really taste like anything except mock meat, in a good way. It wasn’t the sort of mock meat that replicated actual meat to a concerning degree

The menu had price, but after we were done the guy who was serving us said 200 baht which is extremely worth it in my opinion

I will be back next time I’m in Phuket

Pros: Authentic and honest food, Fun vibes

Cons: Confusing

Faux meat galore

The staff is nice but hardly speaks English. In the end they could assure us that everything is indeed vegan. Even if it says catfish, it just describes the kind of fake meat they are using. Food is absolutely delicious. The setting isn’t the most glamorous, but for the prices it’s appropriate

Pros: Everything is vegan, Great faux meat , Cheap

Cons: Communication is tough, No onion or garlic in any dish , Setting lacks atmosphere

Lecker und preiswert

Die Gerichte sind sehr preiswert und alles probierte war lecker. Leider spricht das Personal kaum Englisch und das Restaurant sieht sehr einfach / runtergekommen aus. Trotzdem super wenn man billiges, veganes, local food sucht

Jummy!

As I read the reviews here this was big on my list. As I live to far away and didn't want to spend 1000 baht just to go to eat there I was happy about the option to order via weserve. The menue is just in Thai,but the friendly staff from the hotel helped me as I knew from the menue here what I want.
And of course I tried the deep fried chicken and what to say.
It's crazy close to real chicken.Deep deep fried and for sure the unhealthies food I had here so far,but worth trying if you have cravigs for mock meat. Never had anything that close to chicken and such a crunchiness. The cucumber salad was awesome,the fried rice ok,wouldn't need "sausage"in there.
Would have loved to try the Massaman curry from the english menue,the guy from the hotel couldn't find it in the app.
I would order other stuff to try again. #Veganuary

Für mich das beste vegane Essen in Phuket Town.

Ein toller Ort um ausgiebig vegan zu schlemmen. Englische Speisekarte und ganz freundliches Personal.

Pros: Sehr günstig und lecker, große Auswahl., Beste Fried Chicken was ich bisher probiert habe., Der Speck ist sensationell!!
