Goodsouls Kitchen
Tucked along Sinharat Road near Chiang Mai's old city, Goodsouls Kitchen has built a strong following as a dedicated vegan and vegetarian restaurant that draws both locals and travellers back repeatedly. The menu spans an impressive range of cuisines and meal types, including Thai dishes, Italian-inspired options, burgers, salads, and smoothie bowls, making it a reliable choice regardless of the hour or appetite. Visitors consistently highlight the freshness and quality of the food, with smoothie bowls earning particular praise. Portions are considered generous relative to the mid-range prices, and the breadth of the menu means the kitchen caters well to different tastes within a single group. The atmosphere suits casual dining throughout the day, whether the visit is a leisurely breakfast before sightseeing or a sit-down dinner in the evening. Good to know: Goodsouls Kitchen is open every day from 8am to 10pm, which makes it a practical option for early starts as well as late dinners. For those following plant-based diets, the fully vegan and vegetarian menu removes the usual guesswork of eating out in Thailand. Checking the website at goodsoulskitchen.com ahead of time is worthwhile for anyone planning a larger group visit or wanting to browse the menu in advance.

Visitor Reviews
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.
Goodsouls Kitchen served up one of the best meals of my entire trip. The Mango smoothie bowl was the absolute standout for me because it was incredibly fresh and easily the best one I have ever had. Everything else we ordered was just as impressive. The falafel pita was perfectly crispy and came with a great variety of sauces, and the tempeh stir-fry with brown rice was a satisfying, savory choice. We also had a Thai iced tea that was creamy and refreshing. The food is high quality and leaves you feeling great, plus the presentation is beautiful. If you are in the area, this place is a must visit for a plant based meal that actually delivers on flavor.
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!

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.
