Tasty and cheap - Edit
The food is delicious and very well priced. A bit tricky to find as it's down an alley. The staff are amazing. I ate a huge plate of veg every afternoon for lunch.

Tasty, inexpensive vegan food - Edit
I visit KL once or twice a year and always come to eat at Blue Boy several times each visit. As has been explained in several other reviews, this is a hawker centre wherein several stalls selling different types of food are housed in one decently sized shop lot. This place is located opposite the main road from Swiss Garden Hotel, on a side street going up a tiny hill.
Read moreMy favourites are the char koay teow (wok fried noodles with bits of greens, mushroom and fishballs), nasi lemak (coconut rice with mutton rendang, sambal squid, anchovies, cucumber and beans) and chee cheong fun (flat rice noodles with a sesame hoisin sauce and various stuffed tofu/veggie options to go with the noodles). The economy rice can be hit or miss, with some really delicious options (curry vegetables; stir fried medley of cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, tofu puffs, celery and wood ear fungus) and some ordinary dishes.
All meats here are mock meats. Another reviewer mentioned finding chicken in their food which doesn't make sense as no meat is served on the premises. In fact, to my knowledge, all the dishes are vegan by default except for the char koay teow (you simply equest 'no egg' to veganise this dish) and curry laksa (they add coffee creamer to the curry soup). Also, the staff have always been neutral but courteous in all the years I've been coming here.
Having a hawker centre where vegans can eat without concern of accidentally consuming animal products is a rare and awesome thing. Hopefully people will be more careful in their reviews to avoid tarnishing the reputation of a respectable business.
Pros: Many options, Delicious and inexpensive, Clean and courteous
Cons: Hard to find, Not open for dinner

Great vegan food - Edit
Chinese style vegetarian (mostly vegan) food. I love this place and have eaten here 10+ times. I usually go for the buffet that normally has 15+ different choices. In the weekend they skip the buffet and has set meals instead.

No healthy food - Edit
I didn't like the food. The 2 dishes we took (out of 8 on the wall menu) were very oily, tasteless and without vegetables (only a few pieces). It is cheap but you get what you paid for! There is good food elsewhere!

Horrible - Edit
I hate writing negative reviews, but I really did not liked this place! First of all the staff was super rude and totally overcharged me (because I'M white..) The menu was unclear, so they just gave me whatever and the food was cold... I do not recommend .

I have been going to Blue Boy for 10 years now. The staff have always been very friendly to me, and I have never been overcharged. If you didnt understand the menu, how can you say you were overcharged? and if you were, how do you know its because you're white? I am white by the way.

Asam Laksa - Edit
Tried their curry laksa and asam laksa, the latter of which was delicious (or would have been without so many noodles). Not bad, but San Sann in nearby Bukit Bintang won my return-patronage scorecard.

I can't recommend enough! - Edit
When we walked into BlueBoy I was sceptical because they didn't have an English menu I was worried what we might order.
Read moreThey have an English speaking waitress who came over and helped us order our first dish with ease. After devouring it we ordered more and more taking her advice and weren't disappointed.
The food is very tasty and high standard and great value for money. I can't believe how little the bill was. I just wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have gone back.

cheap and tasty hawker experience - Edit
if you are not used to hawker style eateries, you might freak out; it's got no ac and is kind of grimey. The noodles were good and cheap though, and eating there feels like an authentic experience.

Cons: closes at 6pm. no menu.

Char koay teaw is amazing! - Edit
I was staying a few doors down from Blue Boy when I was in KL, so I ate here quite a few times. I had the char koay teaw multiple times, which was absolutely incredible. I also tried a laksa, which was too spicy for me so I couldn't really enjoy it. I absolutely loved this place though, it was a real treat to be able to experience the SE Asian hawker style stalls and have it be all veg. It was also super cheap (around £1 for a meal) and the guys working there were really friendly. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting KL.

too much rice/noodle and not enough vegetables - Edit
I ordered a plate of noodles/mushroom/tofu/various vegetable, but I was disappointed because It was actually hard to find what it was supposed to come with noodle.
Read moreI gave them a second chance by ordering a curry. I had 2 types of noodle but vegetables/tofu//mushroom were hard to find too.

Best spicy vegetarian fare around Jalan Alor - Edit
We went twice to the restaurant. First time we took fried rice and char koya teow. Both were excellent. Second time we took buffet meal with rice, curry and plenty of vegetables. Food is tasty and freshly prepared. You will get both spicy and non-spicy foods. We were helped by Mr. Chung in selecting the food. Fried rice etc can be ordered without egg. They also serve fake meat made out of soya, though I did not try it much.
Read moreI had taken my parents who prefer Indian vegeterian, they liked the food very much as the spice level can be almost same as south Indian food. You can ask to vary it as well.
They are many stalls including that sells curry noodles which was suggested to us by the diners there.
To reach the place, go to the end Jalan Alor and turn right. You will see Corona Inn. Its situated on the lane next to Corona Inn.

Visited July 2015 - Edit
The easiest way to find this place is to find the Corona Inn. Walk last the entrance on your left and take the immediate left after the hotel, signposted Lalian Sehala and street sign says Lorong Pudu 8. The restaurant is at the end of this alley way on the right.
Read moreIt is a large open sided cafeteria type restaurant. Ceiling fans.
The food is all vegetarian, but not vegan. It is self-select for some of the food and you can ask for fried noodles or rice preparing.
For drinks the options seemed to be limited, no alcohol, no fruit juices aside from lime juice.
The manager is helpful, speaks good amounts of English, and is helpful in explaining that any reference to meat or seafood implies imitation.
The food was cheap, approx RM15 for 2 people for sufficient food. The food was tasty, of good variation. We would eat there again and would recommend to others.
Opening hours looked approx 8am to 6pm.
We found the location with the help of a free app called maps.me, which had more accurate mapping than google maps and it allowed us to download the maps and negotiate the area with GPS.
Pros: Fully vegetarian, Good explanations, Cheap
Cons: Hard to find, Poor drink choices

Excellent and very relaxing as a vegan! - Edit
This place is great - cheap, abundant food....everything you ever wanted to try in KL but couldn't because there was never a vegan version....here it is. I mean the local curries and soups like laksa with coconut and spices are fantastic,and you can actually eat them here!! As well as all the other classic rice dishes. The only downside was that there was all a bit too much frying and deep frying going on for my tastes, however there is brown rice and lots of veggie stir fry type options for those of you with similar tastes to me. Overall great!
Read morePros: Lots of options for vegans, Get to try classic local dishes , Very affordable and generous helpings

Loads of vegan choice, tasty, fun - Edit
It's a hawker style place, and with that in mind is good fun for veg*ns as there's no risk to just pointing and ordering or trying a random dish. I ate almost everything - all was tasty. Got takeaway for my bus journey too..

Cheap and tasty - Edit
I think the main reason for divided opinion may be the extent to which people are used to hawker stalls - but what would a visit to Malaysia be without eating at a fair few? It's certainly not in a very attractive setting and it's also a bit hard to find, in an alley behind the Corona Inn Hotel, but the food is tasty and cheap, catering mostly, I would suspect, to the local Chinese who have ' vegetarian days' every week or month. The attached shop has a lot of stuff crammed into a small space, including frozen fake meats imported from Taiwan that you'd normally find only in a large or upscale supermarket.

Great variety but... - Edit
You must be prepped for hawker food. If you're used to a western style eatery with good AC, sorry look elsewhere. If you're after cheap and delicious food, then this is the place. I'm stressing the hawker/street food angle since it's effectively what it is. So if you're not use to seeing it, keep an open mind and give it a try. They do one heck of a chicken rice at the mixed rice stall.
Read moreIt's located just opposed Swiss garden hotel in a little alley way. Just behind the express hotel. It's Asia, so don't let the word "mansion" fool you.
Pros: Taste, Price, Range
Cons: Location, Hygiene if you're not used to it

The best stall/buffet experience in KL - Edit
Blue Boy was the most enjoyable buffet/stall experience I had in KL. The setting is light and airy, and there are different stalls with lots of Malaysian and Chinese dishes to choose from, plus a buffet. It's a pleasant and clean space, with one side opening onto a row of plants and a quiet street (and not in a mall - yay!). I went a few times while I was in KL. I tried the buffet (5 choices and rice cost RM 8) which was all fresh and delicious. I also tried the Nasi Lemak (rice with some different curries, and veggies on the side, for RM 5.50), and some of the stuffed tofu creations, which were all tasty and good.

the original and still the best! - Edit
I love Blue Boy! We've been going here ever since our first trip to Asia. They serve up the vegetarian versions of popular Malaysian street foods. The fried Kueh Teow, a stir fried noodle dish, can be made to order with or without egg, it is super delicious, similar to a pad thai or lard na. Maybe not the healthiest choice, but really fun to eat. You can also choose rice with the toppings of your choice, self serve, and priced by how much you put on your plate. The Nasi Lemak is another of the famous choices here, its definitely worth a try! This place is a very economical choice for vegans and vegetarians in Bukit Bintang. And by the way, the Thai massage place nearby that is run by the Thai Ministry of Tourism is really good and totally legit, so stop by there on the way or make an appointment on your way back if you love a consistently good thai massage in a classy environment.
Read morePros: great prices, delicious food, humble street stall environment

Many choices of Malay/Indian/Thai food - Edit
The restuarant is fairly easy to find. The staff speak pretty good English, which we needed to figure out how to order the food. As far as I can tell, there is no menu. You just walk to the different 'food stalls' (tables, really) and choose big or small portions. They have a buffet style as well where you buy your plate size (S-L)and only fill it once. We did not try that though.
Read moreWe tried tofu stuffed with soya meat, spicy red Thai curry on noodles and Malay fried noodles with tofu. It was all very tasty. The price is unbeatable! All of that food plus a big bottle of water was around USD $3.
The only problem is that on the particular day we visited, they were closing at 6PM, which is a bit early for dinner. But it was Christmas Eve, so maybe that's why the early hours.
Pros: Many choices, Cheap
Cons: Close at 6PM

Several different stalls in a garage like atmoshphere (e.g. mock meat station, noodle station, etc). Overall everything lackluster and the atmosphere is just not nice enough to make it worth it for any reason
