Goodsouls Kitchen
Tucked along Sinharat Road just outside Chiang Mai's old city walls, Goodsouls Kitchen has established itself as a go-to destination for plant-based dining in the city. The menu is fully vegan and vegetarian, spanning an unusually broad range of cuisines — Thai dishes, Italian-inspired plates, burgers, salads, and smoothie bowls — making it a practical choice for groups with varied tastes as well as solo travellers looking for something beyond the standard options. Visitors return repeatedly for the quality and freshness of the food, with smoothie bowls drawing particular attention. Portions are generous relative to the mid-range prices, and the relaxed atmosphere suits everything from an early breakfast before sightseeing to a sit-down dinner in the evening. The kitchen handles the full span of the day confidently, which is less common than it might seem for a single venue. Good to know: Goodsouls Kitchen is open every day of the week from 8am to 10pm, so there is genuine flexibility around timing. For those following plant-based diets, the fully vegan and vegetarian menu removes the guesswork that can come with eating out in Thailand, where animal-based ingredients are often added to otherwise vegetable-heavy dishes. The menu is available to browse in advance at goodsoulskitchen.com, which is worth doing for larger groups or anyone with specific dietary requirements.

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!

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.
