Delicious, original, good service! - Edit
Small cute place, kind of tucked away. The people running it are sweet and helpful. They have a variety of Northern Thai, Japanese and Korean dishes. Everything is vegetarian or vegan en most vegetarian things can be made vegan without the egg.

Khun Churn reopens in Nimmanhaemin. Eat in or take away - Edit
Khun Churn is an old favourite for Veg food lovers in Chiang Mai. After a long period of only doing food delivery, they have now reopened a small restaurant in Nimman area. Food can be ordered A la carte via the LINE App. There is no paper menu. You will need a smart phone to view the menu.
Read moreAll the old favourites are available. It is mostly Thai food.
Inside is cool with air-con. There are only 4 tables inside. It is a much smaller place than previous incarnations of this restaurant.
Pros: Good location, Good food, Cool Air-Con inside
Cons: Limited Parking for cars, Limited Tables

Big Buffet - Edit
Big buffet with lots of options! I would go here if you are a veggie and really hungry :) Nice staff and good intentions. The only thing is that quite a few dishes were cold, or could've been fresher. I would still recommend this place, just go right when it opens!!!
Read morePros: Lots of options
Cons: Food was cold , could be fresher

A+ service - Edit
Like the reviews state, its a new location, but the map marking is correct. See the photos from 16-Feb-2017 for the new locations exterior view.
Read moreLarge extensive menu, excellent iced tea with many flavors for just 30baht.
The place is worth a trip.
Watch the spice! I'm a mid level spice guy, and the soup I had was a notch or two above me. I had to just pick out the goods and leave the broth to waste.
Soup(good size) 90baht
Tea 30 baht
Spring Rolls 65 baht
Pros: everything was fresh , service!

Glad it's Re-Opened! - Edit
Really glad to see that it's rep-opened in a nice new spot behind the flower market. The menu still has some nice options with unique Northern Thai dishes and all the usual curries which all taste great and are always a generous serving. We're particularly glad to see that they're open in the evening as well although only until 8.
Read moreThe buffet is also good value and very popular.
However, the old menu used to be huge with almost every Thai dish you could possibly dreamed of in it, so they're not what they used to be. They also used to sell international beers and delicious fruit shakes but the drinks in the new place are just limited to a few juices.
Eggs are sold in a few dishes so not completely vegan.
Glad they're open again but still reminiscing of the old place, which was gold.

Pros: Generous portions, Open until 8

Change of location & hours - Edit
Khun Churn, the fabulous vegetarian restaurant has indeed, moved once again. It's new location is behind JJ market / the Kamtieng Market and behind the Flower market (I'm not sure if Kamtieng Market means the Flower market). It's smaller than it used to be, but marvelous as always. The hours have changed as well. The buffet is open now only on Saturday, Sundays & holidays, between 10:30am-3pm. It costs 179 Baht. On Tuesdays -Fridays its a la carte. It's closed every Monday.
Read morePros: great food, great selection, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Location. Difficult to find, The road getting there is a dirt road, buffet only twice a week

Glad this place is still around! - Edit
We visited this place a few times when it was down at the Old Thai Cultural Center. The new location is certainly smaller and the selection is not quite as good but the food is still great and the price is good (179B Buffet). There is a good offering of salad and fruits as well as brown rice and around six cooked veggie dishes. The noodle bar offers a good selection of toppings as well and herbal drinks, tea and coffee are included. The new location is not far before you reach Tesco Lotus on Atsadathon Rd as you head North-East out of the Old City (opp JJ Market). Double thumbs up!!
Read morePros: Good food quality, Good value, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Location a little hard to find, Smaller selection than their previous incarnation

nice vegetarian Buffet - Edit
My main reason to visit there was to eat the vegetarian Khao Soi.
Read moreWhen I had the soup, it was room temperature (I went there around noon) I havent had any Khao soi at other restaurant before, so I was not sure how khao soi should be like. (I found out that other restaurant I went to seved me HOT vegetarian khao soi)
I think the khao soi at Khun Churn was so so. Other food were good for the price.
Pros: lots of choices, free wifi
Cons: khao soi was not that good

One of our regular eateries! - Edit
This place was a great late discovery for us on our three week stay in Chiang Mai. The service here is fantastic and the food is even better. They have a huge range of great vego and vegan dishes, fruit, cereals, and a selection of teas. You can't go wrong for 170bht all you can eat! (:

Best place to go for lunch - Edit
This is my type of place. I love well prepared buffets (available only for lunch, the restaurant was beautiful and the staff were friendly. My only complaint is that the older gentleman (perhaps owner) told me that everything was vegan although I noticed many buffet items contained egg. The location has changed so just ask tuktuk driver to take you to Chiang Mai cultural center and you can't miss it.
Read morePros: great food, friendly staff, nice restaurant
Cons: not everything is vegan

LOVE the salad bar! - Edit
Been here twice for lunch. The salad bar is where it is at!! I love the spiralized pumpkin, beets and carrots! They refill the salad items faster than I have ever seen! They seem to be never out! There are a couple vegan dressings but they are pretty high in fat. The vegan peanut dressing is amazing nonetheless.
Read moreThe cooked food is okay. Not much for me compared to the amazing salad bar. They have organic brown rice, curries, steamed veg, noodle dishes and a make your own soup station. It's not a full vegan buffet so make sure to check if there are eggs in any of the dishes.
The staff is extremely nice and attentive.

Great salad bar - Edit
I visited Khun Churn in April 2014 and were delighted for the evening salad buffet. Other vegetarian buffets in Chiang Mai seem to have only cooked foods like curries so it was lovely to get to eat lots of salad.
Read moreThe service was good which means that it was a little bit too formal for my taste (I like only relaxed atmosphere).
For tourists staying in the old city it is a good idea first visit this restaurant and then continue to Saturday night market, because Khun Churn is only a short walk from the southern end of the Saturday market street.
Pros: a big salad buffet, lots of variety
Cons: a bit formal service, more protein dishes would be nice

Food and service are fantastic! - Edit
I love this place. I've been to the old location several times and last week went to their new location twice. I just can't say enough good things about this place. The food is amazing, the price is very inexpensive and the service is outstanding. It's obvious that the staff are very happy to work there. The buffet is very diverse with soups, curries, stir fry, salads, fruits, desserts, a noodle station and a tea/coffee bar. Mostly vegan but some things have egg and milk is available. The new location is indoors in a beautiful artistic wooden building connected to the 'Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center'. The old location was very in a very nice outdoor garden but I actually prefer the new space. I hope this place is open forever!!! Seven thumbs up :)
Read morePros: Amazing veg Thai food, Attentive, friendly service, Extremely reasonably priced

Same Wonderful Food Even Better in New Location - Edit
High quality, vegan food. We particularly like the lunch buffet with many Thai dishes, soups, real fruit drinks, grilled veggies, salad, and more all included in one price of !69 Baht. Or one can order off a menu. The setting is just lovely. Staff are wonderfully helpful. We have eaten at Khun Churn for 6 years, and now have followed this restaurant to its new location though not as convenient as before, but well worth the ride for their offerings.

Awesome Buffet, Unbeatable Price - Edit
No question, this is one of the best veg buffets in the universe. Fresh salad bar with not only leaves and other veg, but also goodies like corn, beans, and sweet potato chips. Fresh fruit, four juices, two fried snacks, five or more entrees, five or more soups, and dessert, all changed daily.
Read moreFresh, beautiful, clean, tasty food - all you can eat for less than the price of a bottle of imported beer!
Suspended bike racks at the entrance for the cyclists out there.
Also worth mentioning that the whole Khun Churn empire (four restaurants so far) is family run. The father, an English teacher, had four kids and nicknamed them A, Bee, Cee, and Dee. D runs the Chiang Mai branch, his siblings run the other ones. Try them all!
Pros: Everything is fantastic, Family-owned chain, Amazing fried banana flowers
Cons: A little bit outside the old city

I think the price is beatable, since you can eat for free at The Vegetarian Society ;) But what is the price actually?

well worth tracking down - Edit
Been here 4 years ago and now today. The lunchtime buffet is extraordinary. A wide variety of interesting healthy and tasty soups, salads. Evening time it is chilled out and the menu is outstanding. Very popular with locals, which is a good indication. Staff are gracious and helpful. Setting is tranquil. It's an effort to get out of town to find the place. Ranks as one of the best, for sure.
