Delicious!

You can believe most of the hype about the food here - seriously good flavours and textures, soooo many vegan options, and really great value. A mix of Thai and Chinese style food.
Portion sizes weren’t super-generous, so we needed 4 dishes for the two of us, but that wasn’t too much of a worry, as the prices are very reasonable.

Would definitely come back again!

This place is amazing

The menu is huge and all vegetarian, the food was delicious! I’d recommend the curry crab dish!!
The service was lovely and it was tucked down a little alley. Honestly some of the best food I’ve had in Thailand.
Also super reasonably priced
Also it says here it’s closed but it’s very much open for business from 10am-9pm daily😄

Great food

Great food and even better price. Quick service with authentic Thai tasting food. Doesn’t cook with garlic & onion which is a big plus for me.

Pros: No garlic & onion, Quick service, Cheap & great food

My fav place in Bangkok

It is ideal place for food-price ratio. We and our veg and non veg friends fall in love this place! We did't stop the fact that we lived on the other side of town.
Large menu on English with photos, very good prices and also good size portions! Many variations vegan mock meats and not many non vegan dishes in menu - it so good. Very friendly staff (with little english) and amazing food! We offer ate in this place and make take away orders also. So miss about this good place.

Be prepared for the fact that there may be a lot of visitors , especially in the evening!

It’s definitely my favorite place in BKK. Every time in BKK we needed to visit this place our every day of trip. Last time (in end of 2019) we visited this place every day until been in BKK. It was amazing as usually. They opened near cafe the shop with vegan items and frozen mock meat section. It was perfect for us - we brought many vegan products for us and for our home in Russia after dining.

Pros: So tasty food, Many vegan mock meat, Inexpensive

Cons: Small cafe

So Many Choices

Very large menu with photos and both English and Thai titles offers many options from hot pot to rice dishes.
Small restaurant with about 6 tables was full of locals while we dined.
Enjoyed the Tom Yum a lot, the pork dishes were great and the veggies were very fresh.
They have a small vegetarian shop attached if you are looking for some canned instant meals or supplies.

Pros: Big menu. Good food.

Cons: Crossing the road from Hua Lomphong is dangerous

My current favorite in Bangkok

For me, its definitely worth the trip to Ruyi! When I come to Bangkok, I want to eat Thai food with Thai people and the crowds here let you know it hits the mark. The flavors are just what I'm looking for, fresh made to order and served with pride. I had a crispy salad and the tom yam on my most recent visit, it made me so happy! We hit up 9 vegetarian spots in Bangkok last week and for me, this was my favorite. Western fusion is boring for westerners, and thai food served at tourist vegan would most often not pass the test for Thai people. I'm still in shock that some of these other top rated places on here will try to pass off a blob of bland noodles - the kao san vortex is not working for me and overpriced mall vegan is only my thing when I really need a salad. So if you want real thai made to order at normal prices, give this a try!

Sit down menu style vegetarian Thai

Small restaurant with friendly staff. Large meal for two cost 270bht (at the moment around 9usd). Yummy Thai flavors that for me where on point. Large selection of mock meat (I always worry about these products not being vegan so please research which ones work for you). There are plenty of things to choose from.

Pros: Vegan options, Spot on flavors, Friendly

Cons: You may not like fake meat?

Fantastic option near railway station

This small restaurant is just great. Many option and typical fish or meat meals are making from tofu. I have duck and it was the best vegan food I have in Thailand. Vegetarian deep fried chicken was also tasty. Me and my girlfriend honestly recommend it.

Pros: Excellent food, Prize, Nice staff

Good option near the train station.

I've eaten here a few times and can say this place it great if you just got off the train or are waiting to depart. But I'd say it's not worth visiting otherwise. The food is good but it's a little overpriced. You can find better elsewhere (but not near the train station!) The menu is mock meat heavy and difficult to find something simple. Everyone gets hot tea for free, but for some reason if you are farang you automatically get iced tea with a plastic straw. Not sure why. The staff are friendly.

Pros: Good location near the train station., Mostly vegan

Cons: Unclear where the non vegan stuff is, Plastic straws and cold tea, A tad overpriced.

Perfect flavors!

We ordered a Pad thai and a Tom Yum. Pad Thaï was good but not the best we've eaten. Tom yum was really good! Perfect balance of flavors, not too spicy. We took away curry rice which was so perfect!
The place was overcrowded and we were in a hurry cause we had to catch our train. We had to wait 30min before being served so we asked them to take all away. So come if you have some time :)

Cons: Plastic straw

Super legit

Small place with a few tables, seems to be frequented by locals of all ages plus travelers. Shared a table with some friendly folks who seemed to be regulars. Menu is full of fake meat so if you are into that sort of thing, here it is in abundance! Yum.

Delicious - can’t wait to go back

Tom yum soup with rice noodles was banging! And morning glory on the side - I was indeed a happy cow!! It was super busy, so expect to share tables with others and you wait a bit longer for your food than at other places, but it was defo worth the wait! Bon appetite

Mediocre

It is a local spot, there were surprisingly no foreigners inside. Even more surprising, it was really empty. We didn‘t have to wait at all. Had the tom yum soup and some fake duck. Taste was average and didn’t even look like on the photos.

Local restaurant with plenty of dishes

I ate there two days in a row. The restaurant is 100% vegetarian and it is marked on the menu when a dish has egg noodles. They have a wide range of dishes (soup, curries, rice, fried mock meat...). It’s a local and very affordable restaurant so don’t expect high luxury and western burgers :p

Pros: A lot of choices (vegan available), 100% meat and fish free, Cheap & local with English menu

Cons: Seating limited for large groups

Basic food, tried 5 dishes, Meh.

Wouldn't suggest ordering these dishes

Crispy chicken, tasted like cardboard.

Tom Yum Noodle Soup, Meh

Mock meats (duck and pork) are fine but that's basically the selling point

Also long wait for mediocre food

Loved it

This place has excellent food. You might have to wait for a table and/or food as the place is very popular. Better to go when relaxed about time to enjoy it best. A good place to go to to taste some dishes that are traditionally meaty. Seems to be a Chinese Thai mix. Especially the fried wonton was great. We paid 210b for three dishes.

Pros: Tasty food, Inexpensive, Close to train station

Cons: Busy, Not very fast
