Food OK, ethos confusing - Edit
The food here is good, and I appreciate the effort to incorporate health-conscious and ethical considerations into the menu. However, there are inconsistencies in how these values are presented. For example, the menu provides "guidance" (read outdated science) on the health impacts of certain foods, cautioning vegans against soy milk due to potential hormone effects while not addressing similar concerns with dairy. Additionally, while the restaurant promotes values of integrity and sustainability, it still serves dairy, a significant greenhouse gas generating industry.
Read moreAs someone who chose this restaurant for its vegan options, I was hoping for a more inclusive and well-rounded approach to plant-based dining. It would be great to see a more consistent alignment between the restaurant's stated values and its menu choices, as well as a broader range of non-dairy alternatives for those looking to avoid animal products.
Pros: Pancakes
Cons: Preachy, Some unsubstantiated health claims

The best place I ate in Bangkok - Edit
So many options, all clearly labelled, including for desserts and drinks/shakes. I came for dinner and had the massaman, it was described as quite spicy but I would say it was mild, which suited me. The portions were generous. If I had more days I would definitely come back! The vibes were lovely

Ethos of Hunger - Edit
We journey’d to Ethos through the alley. The food on the menu said “spicy” on several Thai dishes, but the spice levels were “low/medium” by our standards. We’ve learned that “spicy” at tourist spots means “there are spices in the food”, not actual spice levels. The Tom Kha was flavorful but I needed to put Thai chillies in it to make it a medium. The green curry had excellent flavors, spice levels were low-medium but the depth of flavor made it up for it.
Read morePros: Friendly service, Large beers at a health cafe, Excellent flavors
Cons: Advertised “spicy” dishes were not spicy

Alright food - Edit
The atmosphere was great.. cozy place and nice seating if you like sitting on the floor or at a table. Even homemade kombucha! (Which was very tasty)
Read moreI really wanted to love this place.. however, every step of our order was messed up. Forgotten food, messed up orders and didn’t take my allergies seriously. I really wanted to try the home made tempeh but that order got messed up too.
So many components of a really amazing place but I can’t give it the praise I want when even the fried rice was intensely sweet.

Need to try dinner menu soon - Edit
I went there for breakfast right after it opened in the morning 7:30am so this is not including the rest of the menu they said they were only serving breakfast
Read moreThe coffee was good and they had soy milk
Im american so I eat alot of pancakes and these seemed really dry for the vegan pancakes they use gluten free flour so maybe that contributes and theres no maple syrup they only put the topping sauce on very lightly and give a small cup of coconut cream definitely not enough for the massive pancake
I barely completed half of the pancake because every bite was so dry it was hard to eat and I needed to chug drinks
I would love to go back and try the rest of the menu for lunch/dinner

Cosy place with amazing food! - Edit
The portions are generous here and the food is so good! We ordered a massaman curry with rice each plus a papaya salad. We were both too full for the desert, they have a vegan apple crumble!!! There is half ground seating and half normal table seating. It's a bohemian vibey place :)

Good location - Edit
This is a good cafe with a big menu. It’s really close to Khao San Road which is great. We went for breakfast and got the pancakes. They were nice, not great. Really cheap meal and from our scan of the menu, everything is priced really cheaply. We have no desire to go back. I think there are better places to eat in Bangkok so wouldn’t recommend this place.

Side street jewel - Edit
We were strolling around the area, mango and the other one were full. By chance we walked by this beautiful place! Such nice staff, a very heterogeneous menu, yet so good!

Authentic feel Thai veggie/vegan restaurant - Edit
We enjoyed our freshly cooked Thai food with tofu.
Read moreIt was a bit warm inside with an open restaurant front to the street/alley, rather than air con.
A mix of tables and chairs, and low tables with floor cushions.
We enjoyed our visit and we would go again. Towards the end of our evening the staff were a little inattentive (on their phones, but maybe it was their break?)
(Like several nearby restaurants, they offer a free piece dessert for customers who add a review ... there is no pressure or suggestion that your review should be anything other than honest)

Fresh and indulging, with pseudoscience twist - Edit
Loved the atmosphere, the floor seating and the food. I had the tempeh salad with peanut sauce, and it was delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake with coconut cream, which made me so full I was barely able to walk out of there! I also enjoyed a lemon grass iced tea. Be aware that the amount of sugar they add to the tea is very generous (and for me, too much). Everything was delicious. However, as a scientist, I did not appreciate the generous helping of pseudoscientific advice about soy consumption. This is simply not true, and has been discredited years ago. Other advice about "healthy" this and that should probably be taken with a grain of salt.
Read moreThe service was also really slow. I asked to see the menu after my salad, and had to wait 15 min (u til I approached them at the counter) to place my order.
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Floor seating!
Cons: Pseudoscience, Slow, inattentive service

Disliked the green curry - Edit
I feel so bad for this review because the restaurant is gorgeous and vegan and vegetarian! But the green curry just wasn’t to my taste whatsoever. I really hate tofu that hasn’t been fried, just boiled in a curry.
Read moreI’m used to green curries at home in Thai restaurants which don’t seem to be spicy at all, only a ‘little bit spicy’ was very hot for me and every mouthful I was sipping water 😅 I found the curry to be really heavy on one ingredient (either Thai basil or kaffir lime leaves) which gave it a very potent taste, it just wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

Boss coconut shake, but mid pad kaprow - Edit
I got a cinnamon chocolate coconut shake, a pad kaprow with rice. Servers were very nice and advised against ordering two dishes as they are big.
Read moreThe shake was awesome: 5 stars there. Sadly the kaprow was a bit of a let down as it's normally my favourite dish. It was ok, but lacked the intensity I like in thai cuisine. Just more bland than normal, not enough garlic and only had like 2 chillies.
The menu is massive though, so perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing.

Decent food - Edit
Not bad but think there are better options in the area. The pineapple fried rice was stodgy and bland and the tempe tasted a bit cardboardy. Not a bad experience but pretty average in my opinion. The lighting is also weird and the lampshades hang to close to the tables and get blown about by the fans so it's kinda distracting when you're trying to eat. Also half the restaurant is on the floor seating (cushions) and there was a queue of people at one point waiting for a proper table.
