Restaurant & Cooking School near Thapae Gate - Edit
I was very happy to see a reopening after Covit-19 of a well known Chiang Mai Veg restaurant.
Read moreThe reopening is actually a partnership of Mai Kaidee & Morning Glory, which were 2 very similar places in years gone by. The food is pretty much the same, but there is more choice. There is a wide range of Thai food from appetizers to mains, desserts, fruit shakes and a couple of healthy herbal drinks.
I used to be a huge fan of their Spinach Soup which was so well blended, it was smooth and a bit creamy. I must try it again next time. They seem to be open to preparing the food the way you like it, so special requests aren't a problem, if they are not too busy.
The location is the same, just a short walk from Thapae Gate. Prices are very reasonable, almost everything was 70 baht, although rice is not included and is a small add on.
Pros: Great location in old city, Can even something not on the menu, Reasonable price and serving size
Cons: No Tempeh

Awesome food - Edit
Update July 2022: May Kaidee and Morning Glory have combined to form one restaurant, which I though would be great but the food wasn't as good as I remembered. The eggplant salad was more like a stir fry and was drenched in a sweet sauce. The Penang curry tasted great, but it was full of vegetarian sausage and didn't come with rice. I'm missing some of the items they used to have on their old menu. Prices are still great.

One of the best vegan restaurants in Chiang Mai. Almost every dish I have tried has been amazing. Banana flower coconut salad, sausage spread, mushroom spread, red curry, seaweed rolls, vegetarian sausage with peanut sauce - the list is endless. Highly recommend this place.

Slightly disappointing - Edit
My partner had a khao soi without chilli which was a nice change as it meant that I could try some as chilli makes me very sick.
Read moreI had a glass noodle with shiitake mushrooms stir fry, it was a big disappointment. It was very oily and very tasteless. It was like a worse version of the type of glass noodle and veg stir fry that you will often find in a Buddhist Jay restaurant. We have eaten in the mai kaidee in Bkk a number of times and always loved it, I perhaps picked the wrong dish at the wrong time, but still doesn't stop the disappointment of eating a tasteless pile of oily noodles and veg (I ate it all anyway because I hate waste). Would definitely return based on past visits but never order that dish again!
Pros: Nice khao soi without chilli
Cons: Bad glass noodle and shiitake stir fry, Was oily, And tasteless

We're very sorry about your experience. Actually, we closed earlier in the year due to the public health crisis and we think someone went into our old location and tried to operate using our name when you visited last month. We'll look into this further but note that all Thailand May Kaidee locations have been closed long term and we haven't yet determined a reopening date.

Delicious and cheap - Edit
Fortunately located near our guest house, this quickly became a regular haunt. The value for money and punchy flavours brought us back time and time again.
Read morePapaya salad - 70B - one of the stars, super fresh and a good dose of spice.
Fresh spring rolls - 70B - filling and peanutty deliciousness
Fried spring rolls - 70B - filling and much better than your average spring roll, great fillings and yummy sweet chilli dipping sauce.
Glass noodle salad - 70B - was expecting something cold and fresh, but it was more of a hot noodle dish, still yum.
Pad thai -70B - a tad underwhelming given our expectation but a tasty treat nonetheless
Mixed fruit juice - 50B - refreshing
All in all a delightful and cheap eat, though serving sizes are on the slightly smaller size (I ate 2 mains).

Pros: Big flavours and good pricing

This is my favorite May’s restaurant, food was good (unlike in NYC, and sadly the BKK venue is also changing for the worse). love pretty much everything in the menu, but especially the curries and the banana flower salad!

Nice place - Edit
Serves some pretty nice food. The veggie spring rolls and the steamed veggies were very nice, and the sauces that come with them were amazing.
Read moreThe mango sticky rice was below par - the mango tasted like it has gone off, or was cut on the same board as durian.
All-in-all very decent food for an affordable price. However if you are trying to avoid too much oil in the diet, you might be limited on the options.
Pros: Veggie rolls, sauces, affordable
Cons: Too much fried stuff

Great Curries and Cooking Class - Edit
We split the seafood curry and the Khao Sow curries. Both were great. Signed up for the cooking class in a couple days and can’t wait to be able to make their dishes ourselves when we get home.
Read moreUpdate: the cooking class was the best we’ve done in Asia so far. Did the half day class that had 14 recipes in a nice little booklet you can make notes in and keep. You can easily make everything at home that you learn.
Pros: Great cooking class, Flavorful vegan options

Amazing cooking class - Edit
Did a cooking class here for 1300 TBH and it was amazing, deffo worth the money. Nim was so helpful, friendly and patient and the dishes are all so delicious so it’s good to know how to make them! You get to take the recipe book home with you and also the leftovers from the class that you don’t eat. Deffo worth the money.

Vegan backpacker - Edit
Out this world, truly amazed at how much we loved these dishes. Had the spring rolls with peanut sauce, the "stream noodles" w/green curry and peanut sauce, a rice soup and the veg"seafood" curry. Blown away by the amount of veggies in these dishes alone much less the flavor. The homemade peanut sauce for the flat noodles was amazing! The flavor of the miso curry was so good. This place is a diamond in the rough of Chiang Mai hands down. The price point for the portions is better than anywhere else. Again, we were simply so excited to see broccoli and cauliflower in all of these dishes period, just made it over the top. Do yourself a favor and come here early in your stay I'm sure it won't be your last visit.
Read morePros: Amount of veggies in meal for the price. Flavor.
Cons: None.

Had really good fried rice and a good pineapple juice. The place looked like it was closed or just about to open when I got there. The staff was really good and took care of getting me something to eat. The restaurant is located a bit away from the main road but worth going to.

Excellent food, amazing cooking class! - Edit
We've eaten at the Bangkok and Chiang Mai locations, and the food is exceptional! Amazing flavors, deep rich curry, perfect sticky rice, it's just a great experience every time. We went to the half-day cooking class, and got to make and eat 10 different vegan dishes! I was so full, but it was all so good I couldn't stop eating. A must visit in Chiang Mai, and if you have the time, get in the kitchen!

One of my favourite restaurants ever - Edit
Have tried most things on the menu, and never been disappointed. I think the food here is fantastic and the portions are good also. It’s small and quiet, and I would disagree with any comment that labels this as a negative. I find it hard to not visit at least once a day, and would recommend it to anyone who told me they were going to Chiang Mai. I also done the cooking class here and our teacher was really kind and pleasant.

Great food & cooking classes - Edit
We really enjoyed the food. So much that we did a cooking class, we cooked about 8 different dishes plus one dessert and we got all the recipes in a book. So if you like Thai food (of course vegan/vegetarian) and want to continue to cook it at home - I recommend the cooking class.
