Aum Vegetarian Restaurant, Restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Aum Vegetarian Restaurant is a meat-free restaurant in the Mung Ra area of Chiang Mai, Thailand, located near Chiang Mai Gate. It serves Thai, Chinese, and Japanese-inspired dishes such as spring rolls, vegetarian sushi, noodle soups, and stir-fries, all prepared without meat.
The restaurant has been operating for several decades and its interior has changed little over time. It is one of the longer-standing plant-based spots in Chiang Mai, a city with a long connection to Buddhism and meat-free eating.
The restaurant sits near Chiang Mai Gate, one of the old city's main entrances, drawing both locals and travelers looking for plant-based food. Upstairs, there is a small reading corner where guests can browse books while eating.
The upper floor is quieter and has standard chairs, while the ground floor has low tables with floor cushions. The place tends to fill up at lunch and early evening, so booking ahead is a good idea if you are coming with a group.
The restaurant serves avocado sushi maki, a dish that is hard to find in most other Thai restaurants. The rice here is a mix of white and purple rice, charged separately, which gives the meal an unusual color on the plate.
