Good food!

Sooo much variety to choose from. I loved the buffet. The glutinous rice chicken wasn’t very good tho was kinda dry. Also be careful of mosquitos too

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

Wowzers, I just ate here and it was amazing! (See pics)

Friendly staff and an amazing range of dishes. It is also extremely cheap.

It’s a 9 minute taxi from Georgetown and so worth it! My plate of food was £1.30!!!! Rice is free.

Don’t hesitate to come here. It closes at 4pm on a Sundays.

Pros: Delicious , Excellent range of dishes, So so cheap

Good and tasty

The food is good and tasty and there is a huge selection. Since I am vegan I tried to find things without eggs or dairies. Hopefully it worked ;)

Delicious and filling!

Yummy vegan/vegetarian buffet! The people working there are friendly as well! Simply grab a plate, shove on whatever you desire, let them inspect your plate and tell you a price. They also offer dessert, steamed buns and delicious juices and other drinks!

Use discretion if vegan

Not everything is vegan. Some of the meats have egg, drinks have dairy. Use your common sense and you can get a vegan meal.

Not vegan and not vegan friendly

Asked the cashier if products contain milk or eggs, cashier says no. Then I spot milo on the drinks menu and other packed products ingredients of which include eggs.

All the other reviews are unreliable. Scrutinise, y'all!

There's a perfectly good reason why this VEGETARIAN restaurant doesn't claim to be vegan. The cashier has no understanding of vegan-friendliness or scrutiny over non-vegan warning signs. Not everything on the menu is actually vegan-friendly and people should be aware of the risk of mock meats containing egg (sometimes disguised as "albumen") and dairy. Just look at the drinks menu: any local vegan should know that Milo contains dairy. My other half told her that Milo has milk and she responded with confusion that it's just Milo. You can even look at the products on sale in their mini grocery section. The mini sausage packs listed egg-based items in the ingredients list. This makes me wonder if everything in the buffet section is vegan-friendly.

Healthy buffet

AMAZING place!! Most of chinese buffets are cheap and unhealthy. But this one isn't oily. There are so many choices, fake meats, hashbrowns, bun, healthy food, and the staff is very friendly. We paid RM22 for 2 big plates.
Be careful and come early cause the place is quickly full. But we understand why :)

Pros: healthy buffet, so many choices, friendly staff

Cons: overcrowded

Roadside vegan diner

Humble hole in the wall roadside diner serving full vegan self service buffet.

Along with the wide array of green vegetable dishes there are lots of deep fried and battered dishes. Fake meats are plentiful, tempeh too. Choice of white rice or brown wholegrain rice.

Separate section sells filled steamed buns (bao zi).

Pros: Inexpensive, Variety

Cons: Lots of deep fried dishes

Delicious, cheap, healthy food. What more do you want?

I'd eat here every day if it weren't even cheaper and healthier to cook and eat at home.

Absolutely the best vegan food

This was the most delicious food we tried here in Malaysia. We’ve been to much more luxurious restaurants that were way more expensive. But this was absolutely the best one! The prices are awesome, very cheap. And also probably the best fresh juice we had so far.

Awesome vegan food

I absolutely loved this place. There are soooo many vegan options and it's all super delicious. Also pretty cheap. Definitely recommend going here.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for a few days around Chinese New Year, but we were lucky enough to visit before then.

Pros: Awesome food, Lots of vegan options

Great buffet selection

Located near the Gurney Drive malls, this small place serves an crazy variety of Malay and Chinese veg dishes as a buffet, or you can order specials. Very popular with local families. I am always happy to find copious amounts of freshly cooked veggies - okra, bok choy, eggplant . . . . I will make a point of returning again. I wonder if its related to the Evergreen House in Phnom Penh, one of my world-wide faves?

Pros: Variety, Fresh, Low price

Favourite place in Penang

There was such a lot of choice!! There was tons of veggies, lots of mock meats, several different styles of tofu and tempeh, white and whole grain rice, several noodle options. Super reasonable too at RM8 for a decent size portion. Would definitely revisit if I were in Penang again.

Pros: Tons of options , Lots of greens/healthier options , Excellent value

My favourite place to eat in Penang!

The food was incredibly tasty (especially the laksa). I stayed nearby for a week and ate a lot of brunches here. Great for fuelling up for the day's adventures. So cheap, lovely staff and friendly local atmosphere.

Over 60 dishes for you to eat

This restaurant is highly recommended by the locals, Vegetarian Food, is also the restaurant that we go frequently in Penang! Over 60 dishes for you to choose! And it is very, very cheap and delicious! Self-service form, go to the counter after you finished choosing your food, the staff will help you judge how much does it cost, personally, the average is around RM8! You can also have a freshly squeezed juice, such as mango juice (RM3) and order a dessert, such as Aiyu Jelly (RM4.8), which is delicious.

Huge variety and cheap

I can’t say I was even that hungry when I got here- so me eating my huge buffet plate in 4 seconds says a lot. Great flavours with almost too many options! The plate pictured was piled high and only 5MR!!

Pros: Vegan only everything !!
