Five Star J Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurant — Restaurant in Pattaya City

They have the most extensive menu by far that I've ever seen in my life (more than 100+ items). I really wonder how the chef/cook can remember and be familiar with all the different ways to prepare each and every item on their extraordinarily extensive menu. They have a wide variety of cuisine to choose from, namely Thai, Indian, Western, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and more based on my memory.

Their food and beverage is top notch.

First, the mixed berries smoothie is very yummy as it's highly pure (doesn't taste like artificial flavour) and naturual, I can still taste and even eat the actual berries.

I'm impressed by their tempeh satay as grilling it with the tumeric powder gives a surprisingly fragant smell and pleasant taste.

The mushroom/tempeh Phanaeng curry with black rice is an absolute delight to eat as a main as it's so appetizing with its rich and creamy coconut milk base curry broth. The texture of the black rice itself is very satisfying and uniquely fragrant.

The only gripe I have is that the food preparation time can be a bit too long even when there was only 1 other table after I placed my food order.

Kudoes to the owner and her staff for being very friendly and helpful throughout my dining...

Went to the place for dinner with 2 friends and my partner. We explained that my partner has a peanut allergy and can’t eat them. So we confirmed which dishes have no peanuts. The first two dishes went well and after 1 bite from the third one he went silent. I called the waiter to the table and asked again. What is in this dish/sauce? Is there any peanuts. And she said „maybe“. Went to the kitchen and came back. „We don’t put peanut inside, but the red curry have little bit peanut powder- but only little bit.“ Ahh great my partner could only „a little bit die“. She took no responsibility for her actions! She was supposed to check if there is peanuts!!! And this got us a trip to the hospital. Even after making such a fatal mistake, we even needed to pay for our food. She was so „kind“ to remove the dish that almost killed my partner from the bill. Outrageous.

The only person seriously concerned & apologised a few times, was that young waitress…

Don’t go there with allergies....

Ning’s 5 Star Vegetarian – Pattaya

I’ve eaten at plenty of vegetarian places over the years, but Ning’s 5 Star Vegetarian really stands out.

The menu is massive — Thai, Indian, even some Western-style dishes — and everything I’ve tried has been full of flavour. The mock meats are genuinely impressive (the “duck” and “prawns” in particular), and you can tell a lot of care goes into the ingredients. No MSG, no shortcuts, just clean, well-balanced food.

The service is warm and helpful, and you feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk in. It’s a relaxed, clean space that’s perfect whether you’re a full-time vegetarian or just looking for something lighter and healthier.

Standouts for me: the tom yum with veggie seafood, crispy duck with rice, and the mango & papaya salad. Everything was fresh, colourful, and beautifully cooked.

Highly recommended – a real gem in Pattaya if you’re after quality, plant-based...
