Disappointing

I got a full plate of different things for 22 Ringit. Unfortunately I did not like any of the stuff there. It didn't taste like anything and was also cold. It's not a nice place to sit and also too hot as they have fans only.

Left 80% of the plate and left to go somewhere else.

The idea of a vegan buffet is great but that was one of the worst meals I had in a long time

Wow. Local. Tasty

Thanks to the power of HappyCow I found this amazing gem. I had a large bottle of water and a massive serve of food piled up onto my plate. I paid AU$6.11. Loads of variety, flavours and options.

Winner spot, if you only have one place to visit go here

The choices, the veggies, the mockmeats, the diversity! For eating in, or take away there is no better place for a vegan to be.

Delicious.

Good budget friendly option

Solid. Good vegetarian food with a wide selection of dishes at budget friendly prices. It's self service, you compose your dish and they tell you the price. Overall good quality and nice flavours. Great prices. Very simple location perfect for a quick meal. Friendly staff who speak English. Absolutely recommended!

George Town Buffet

Visited with friends because of reviews but was very disappointed by the blandness of most of the items that were being served, lots of options but i think there are much better places to visit

Excellent food and great value

Buffet experience, lots of mushrooms dishes and some fake meat. Good spice levels, only thing a bit spicy was one of the curries. Really nice tofu too. Ladies working there were very welcoming and cost 9RM for this plate. Didn’t know what most was but enjoyed it all!

Pros: Lots of mushrooms, Very cheap, Lots of choice

Cons: Toilets were a bit run down but quite common

Definitely recommend

Big fan of this place! The lady working there was so nice and happy to answer any questions and recommend dishes. She said everything was vegan that day which was great. You choose what you want from the buffet and pay at the counter. There's a huge variety of mock meats and vegetable dishes and it's great value.

amazing price to quality ratio

For 10 ringgit you get a plate from the buffet. everything was good though I have no idea what I ate, the owner assured me it was all vegan. I would eat there every day if I lived here.

Pros: the price, the staff, the food

Cons: I'd like the food to be labeled to know what I ate

Healthy, cheap, friendly, delicious: a dream come true!

Huge selection of dishes ranging from tasty deep fried stuff that is extremely flavourful to lightly flavoured greens. It has everything you need and more, and I'll be returning day after day!

Unbelievable value for money

This self service buffet is easy with great food. No idea what i had but it was delicious although we went at 7ish so not everything was hot. Still 5* though for 2 soft drinks and a plate each for 19RM

Pros: Cost, Variety, Tasty

Cons: Not hot at 7pm but worth it for the money

Great self service food

Loved all the food, only thing that could be improved is the labelling of the food as I had no idea what I was eating

Soooo good

Such a nice place, very cheap and delicious. Not sure why this is listed as vegetarian, I think it's completely vegan, but I might be wrong.

Food heaven, best experience so far

You load up your plate with what looks good and pay at the counter (with drinks, I paid 16RM). Loads of mock meats, tofu, wan tans, spring rolls, veggies, currys, noodles. I only asked for directions concerning the spiciness of foods.

Delicious variety of local vegetarian dishes

Lots of variety of vegetable and fake meat dishes - lots! Easy to just load up your plate and take it to the counter along with your drink order. My big plate plus ice coffee was just 17MYR / £2.83! A lovely, no-fuss local place to eat

A down to earth vegan buffet

Is not a “all you can eat” type of place but rather take your pic from 25 food options and pay the cashier. Loads of tofu/soy/tempeh stuff, great taste and very … very cheap, in my opinion. Go in there hungry 😀! #Veganuary

Pros: Variety , Taste, Value

Cons: Place is a bit small, deserves more tables.

Nature at its best

Typical Malaysian Penang lang vegetarian eatery, no need for Michelin crap, no propaganda frivilies, straight forward honest plant base nature's food the Buddha would happily sit with you to share heartily, the price is the cherry on the cake for the total experience ... I frequent this venue whenever I'm home, reminds me of my "chiak chai" days many many moons ago with mum and aunties uncles in Buddhist harmony, thanks Ee Being for being there still for us ...

Pros: Good honest food, Large variety, Honest pricing

Cons: Fear it may go one day, Overshadowed by boutique populous

Tremendously good value buffet

Standard fare among vegetarian buffets in this part of the globe. You'll pay before you eat, the exact amount depending on how much food you put on your plate. Expect to pay 12 MYR if you're feeling hungry; more if you're being greedy and/or wasteful. Not really suitable for large groups due to the limited seating and absence of square tables, so you can usually eat in peace without too much noise from White people. I think I must have gone there most days I was in George Town. An Apartheid-free Palestine, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea! 🇵🇸

Pros: Good value, Self-service, Decent choice

Amazing and local

I've been here every day this week. The variety of mock meats is amazing!!! There aren't any labels but I've got to know the things I like and dislike. Staff told me they don't use any egg and that everything is vegan! Also I've never paid more than 15 MYR for a full plate and drink!
