Aka Kwadin Restaurant. Offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet of vegan Laotian food (no a la carte): rice, noodles, soup, steam buns, a variety of vegetables and faux meat dishes (10 or so). Could get individual items to take away from the buffet. For a larger variety, it's best to arrive after 10am. Directions: look for the basket shop, and head down the adjacent alley that leads into Khua Din Market, walk for 50m, and restaurant is on the left opposite food stalls and a car park. Has a yellow 'Chay' sign. If still not sure where it is, ask for "kin jay" (eat vegetarian). Open Mon-Sun 9:00am-3:00pm.

Great Laotian buffet - Edit
A lovely vegan buffet. They have lots of different vegetable dishes as well as mock meats. It was great to experience vegan versions of typical lao dishes - pancakes and laap. One dish had a rather strange taste (for me) - I think it must have been very authentic. I recommend taking small amounts of everything at first and then going back for more of what you like.
Read moreThe restaurant itself is a serene oasis in busy area. The workers are very friendly and all the other customers were locals when I was there. It's great value at 25,000 kip.
Pros: Lao specialities, Locals eat here, Serene atmosphere

Perfect lunchtime snack - Edit
Followed the directions in the reviews and easily found this place. Great filling lunch, and allowed us to recharge between looking at the market. Buffet lunch was 20,000 Kip, and the pleasant and cheerful owner let us fill up our water bottles for free.
Read moreVariety of mock meat dishes, each with distinct flavour. Would go back again.
Pros: Cheap, Good food and flavour, Clean
Cons: No menu, Little English spoken

Good Traditional Food - Edit
The review above is totally correct. This is a rest. not a food stall in the market. There is a red and yellow sign above it saying veg.food in English. The place is clean,the owner speaks some English and the food is good. No MSG. Way better than going to the food stall at the market esp. for the price,quantity,and quality . Worth the effort to locate.
Read morePros: Tasty, traditional, friendly
Cons: none

clarifying info - Edit
there seems to be some confusion about which restaurant/stall we are talking about and how to get there.
Read moreWe found both places on December 2010.
to get to KWADIN restaurant:
Exit Khua Din Bus station onto Rue Nongbone, turn right and walk for about 100 mts. You will go past a basket shop on the second corner, turn right, entering an alley that leads into Khua Din Market. Walk for about 50 mts. The restaurant is on the left side, next to a motorbike parking lot.
Open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Saturday
No a la carte, All you can eat buffet for 20.000 kip
Take away available.
There are at least 15 dishes to chose from, a lot of them containing some kind of fake meat or tofu and vegetables, There are also few salads, noodles and steam rice.
Welcoming staff, No english spoken although it isn't necessary.
Recommended.
Pros: all vegan, friendly staff, many choices
Cons: small place

Re: 18th Feb 2010 =) - Edit
The food there is good, and my favourite is the dessert with corn and coconut milk (although I prefer the corn naked with the coconut milk dressing) =) The place is right within Talat Khua Din, which is 5mins' walk from Talat Sao. The place is quite obscure, though.. It took me quite a while to find it. It is just beside a motorbike repair/sale workshop.
Read morePros: good dessert, hygienic-looking food, economical pricing
Cons: obscure location

Fantastic buffet, but it's not a food stall - Edit
There's some confusion about this... the restaurant that's described in the directions is called Khouadin Vegetarian, and is exactly where it says... on the far side of the market, across the street, down the small street where the other market is. There's a sign right at the entrance saying "Vegetarian Food 100m".
Read moreAbsolutely superb buffet, friendly vegetarian owners, spotlessly clean, air-conditioned. Highly recommended!
The food stall that the reviewer describes is actually IN the morning market and is a different place entirely.
Pros: incredible variety, cheap, friendly
Cons: hard to find
