About
International vegetarian kitchen, j or vegan. Many specialities like for example, original Italian vegetarian seafood pizza or risotto con fungi or saffron. New are Swiss Rosti and pancakes different styles. Indonesian Tempe can be ordered as sate, in some curries as well as in pasta and spaghetti. We banned white sugar and use brown sugar very careful. Beside soy bean oil for cooking we use pure coconut oil for frying and original Italian olive oil for the salads. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium benzoate, artificial colouring, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, trans fats or other chemicals are ***not*** to be found in our kitchen. As all vegetables are from the same day’s market we don't have to cover with extreme spice. We serve moderate spicy and put fresh chilli on the table. If you like more, let us know, we categorized in chillies from zero to five. You will not find: garlic and onions. Pre order and door to door service from 11 am to 11:00 pm, daily. The restaurant exists since over twenty years; the ambience has switched to European style, white and clean.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Huge menu with selections from Thai, American, Mexican, and Indian cuisine. The owner Bruno offered the most hospitable service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. The prices are reasonable for the quality of vegan food offered. Every dish I’ve tried packed flavor and left me feeling comfortably full. I make sure to come here every time I’m in Pattaya! (Pictured food: Tempeh Satay with Peanut Sauce, Khao Soi, Henry’s Vegan Pancake, Four Seasons Pizza)

I have been coming to this vegetarian institution for almost 11 years. The food has always been good and often superb. I am a long time vegetarian and visited today with my Thai girlfriend of 4 years who is very keen on good Thai food, but no longer a vego. We were quickly seated and ordered fairly quickly.
The lady who took our orders did ask a few questions that raised some doubts in our minds. My GF ordered a Thai papaya salad, an absolute standard Thai dish. She was asked "how spicy do you want it? How many chillies?" This is an irrelevant question as a Thai papaya salad can really only be made one way - the correct way. The menu did not state that it was a "spicy papaya salad". She repeated the question with every dish we ordered. She asked how many times I had been to the restaurant - I answered "over 10 times". We were taken aback as her questions were not relevant to the dishes we had already ordered. My GF said she wanted her papaya salad made the normal way, to which the lady serving us said "oh, you mean no chillies?" She seemed obsessed by the presence or otherwise of chillies in the dishes and oblivious to anything else about them.
The papaya salad that came out was OK but not as good as previous papaya salads at 5 Star due to a lack of garnishes and fresh long beans (they were cooked in it). The other dishes were very good, including a nice tasty Sour Tamarind Soup. I also had a clear noodle soup but was offered no condiments or additives - I had to ask for some pepper.
To be fair, 5 Star has a very extensive menu and it is probably difficult to know everything about every dish on it. It was also almost at Chinese New Year and was quite busy.

wWe thank you for your nice comment and like to explain you the question with the chilies. As a normal papaya salad is spicy, we ask our guests for the spice level and categorise in our restaurant as symbol with one to five chilies. That doesn’t mean we put chilies inside. Many of our guests like the papaya salad but complain in other restaurants it’s served too spicy.. Our kitchen swears, they never put cooked long beans in the papaya salad. They always are fresh. It would be nice if you could give us another try, we would like to invite you for an original papaya salad, now we know, we mustn’t fear it’s too hot for you.

I eat at Five Star J Vegetarian Restaurant whenever I go to Thailand. I told some friends and Next month in February, when I go, they want to try the food. I told them how good it is and and they can't wait to try it. Bruce and Ling are both good people with high moral standards. They don't just want your money, they want you to enjoy the food and they don't feel good about receiving your money if you didn't like the food. Not many restaurants can be so honest with their customers. Of course when some people see that you are so honest, they want to take advantage of the situation and try to eat most of the food, then try to complain, in order to get a free meal. This doesn't happen often but there are bad people everywhere. I'm glad I found this place and hope you will give it a try. Hope this helps. THANK YOU!!!

All the food was so good and fresh. So many options we wanted to order everything. My husband isn’t vegetarian and still loved the food. Service was top notch and the owner was there and gave us great tips on how to eat our meals to enhance the flavors.

I Brought my family here tonight, Was greeted by the Welcoming owner for a rundown of the Extensive and varied menu,restaurant and the private parking lot for the next visit. Having worked in restaurants for many years I know how hard it is to prepare healthy and tasty meals, We ordered Italian Indian Thai Including appetizer and desserts, Everything was great and we finished everything. The red rice was cooked perfectly The staff and other patrons were all very friendly. We live in pattaya and will definitely be back...

I was here yesterday with my husband and we had too come back today and we will be back once more before we return home to Denmark. The surroundings are plesent, the food is just amazing and the service is all around 5 star as well. The owner "J" is attentive and sweet. Anyone who find themselves in Pattaya and enjoy vegan/vegetarian food should come here at least once.

Where do I even begin?! The food was AMAZING, the service was AMAZING, and the owner Bruno, showed AMAZING hospitality. You have to try their vegan pizza. They have homemade vegan cashew cheese and they have so many different flavors! I recommend getting the “four seasons” pizza where you can pick 4 different types of pizza and they make it into one- so you get to try four different flavors! Plus they have a huge menu and so many different foods to try! The tempeh and sauce that came with it was lovely and I got the vegan Henry banana pancake for desert! It was perfect! Not too sweet and super moist. Highly recommend!! ***also pictures is vegan khao soy and fried tempeh***

Me and my friend visited Five Star J restaurant on last week. We rarely go vegetarian restaurant but Five Star J has surprised us with excellent food and clean venue. We ordered mushroom spaghetti which fried mushrooms was so good and Larb-Ped(Fried duck) was also impressed we with the taste just like E-Sarn Food. Highly recommended for anyone who want to start vegetarian food.

Still eating!!! We are on our way to Koh Chang and spent the night in Pattaya - only to find the best vegan food in southeast Thailand! Five Star has developed flavors and dishes any vegan would die for. Thank you Five Star Vegetarian. So many choices, do many flavor profiles, such and easy atmosphere. It’s so good, Rinda and I just replanned our return trip to include a night in Pattaya on the way home, to try more of the menu items. Check Rinda Coates page and review for pictures.
Thanks Five Star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

At a time when many of Pattaya restaurants are struggling to attract customers this small city centre restaurant proudly offers a very wide range of natural and nutritious foods. The menu choices are wide and varied, service was prompt and friendly. There were so many original Thai and other Asian dishes that it was difficult to choose. Spice levels of 1-5 offered tastes for every palate

Though I don't frequent vegetarian restaurants, in that I eat like a T-Rex, this place was approached with a critical mindset. The owner, Ning, says this was her dream driven by a desire to help everyone. She has poured herself into the establishment, sparing no detail, it reflects as much her heart as well as skill.
The food is great, the service is gracious, the vibe is addictive. People come here to sit and talk, taking their time to eat and imbibe.
I could say much more, but this is intended to be a review and not a testimony. I can say that we were so determined to come back to eat here, on our second visit, we walked two miles to arrive again. That pretty much sums it up--eat once and you will come again, no matter what it takes.

I am 100% vegan for 10 years. This restaurant has an incredible variety of wonderful dishes and flavors. IMHO the best vegan food that I have ever tasted! I would return to Pattaya just for this food! The owner Ning is dedicated vegan and prides herself on quality ingredients with Austrian partner. Generous, engaging and lovely staff like Saw. So sad that lockdown is effecting social business. But order online fir home delivery and you will not be disappointed! Chose healthy vegan at this restaurant and you will be amazed!
