Why it matters
Why Tian Ran Vegetarian is worth your time
Most of the city's vegetarian restaurants concentrate near the palace, Russian Market and BKK1. Tian Ran is for families willing to cross the river for a larger menu, mock-meat variety and a table where several people share a pot.
That sharing format matters for grandparents and children who like to eat slowly together. The listed vegan options also help those who avoid dairy. Because it is outside the usual routes, treat it as an evening or half-day outing, and do not expect English menus. A simple plan is to show staff a photo of the dish you want.

How to experience it
Tian Ran Vegetarian is listed on HappyCow as an inexpensive restaurant with an extensive menu of local and fusion dishes, including vegan options such as mock pork and mock duck, and hotpots. It sits in Chbar Ampov, across the Bassac river from the main sightseeing area, so it is a deliberate trip, not a casual stop.
A hotpot suits a group, as everyone can add vegetables, tofu and noodles at their own pace. Ask whether the broth is vegetable-based and egg-free, since we could not verify that from the listing. The mock-meat dishes are made from plant ingredients.
Ask your driver to wait or arrange a return ride in advance, because taxis are harder to find away from the centre. Carry cash and confirm the address on the map.
