Goodsouls Kitchen
Plant-based eating in Thailand usually means guesswork about fish sauce and stock. Here the whole menu is vegan, so the guesswork disappears, and that alone makes this place worth knowing about if you're based near the old city. It sits on Sinharat Road Lane 3, just outside the walls.
The menu wanders across Thai, Italian, burgers, salads and smoothie bowls, which sounds scattered but works because it means a group with different appetites can all eat in one place. Regular reviewers point to the khao soi, the quinoa burger, the falafel pita and the avocado salad. The smoothie bowls get the loudest praise, mango especially, and the pancakes have their fans at breakfast. Not everything lands. Some of the western plates draw shrugs, and more than one person has been let down by the carrot cake. Portions are generous for what you pay, which counts for a lot at mid-range prices.

Reviews from Google
We are a regular here. My husband is forced to be vegan. He is becoming allergic to meat product. He still can tolerate Seafood though. I don’t like eating meat products. So we end up eating vegan 80% of the time and visit this restaurant 3-4 days a week. Some of the items are not good. Western dishes are mostly not okay. Well, it is a vegan restaurant. Desserts and the fruit bowls are generally good. I don’t like their chocolate products. I haven’t tried all their fruit bowl but all that I have tried are very good. Mushroom burger is good. I haven’t tried the steak. I will maybe tomorrow. Pad Thai and mushroom krapao are good. Kanomjean (vermicelli with curry or something) is good. Kaosoy is also very good. The serving size is pretty generous. Can even satisfy a big eater like me.
Favorite place for dinner in Chiang Mai. Unreal selection of vegan dishes (thai, italian, smoothie bowls, salads, burgers...) suitable for any meal of the day. The quality of the food is unmatched. All the dishes have been REALLY good and the staff are attentive and smiling. The only thing I can't recommend is the carrot cake which was disappointing. The best things have been Kao Soi, Quinoa Burger and Avocado Salad!
I got Cacao Heaven smoothie bowl. It was nice but I’m wondering what they put in the smoothie part to get it do thick(pudding like). I am concerned of what might be in it that I didn’t know about. My husband got the Berry Blast and it was fantastic. We’ll definitely return!

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
