We love this place!! The food here is amazing! The portions are great, we always leave with leftovers. We’ve tried the pad Thai, spring rolls(w/ chicken), Thai fried rice, red curry(w/ beef), and the lunch special orange chicken. Everything was sooo good and the service is just as great. We will always come here when we are in the area. They used to have this AMAZING chocolate cake too but I haven’t seen it on the menu in a while :(
I'm not vegan, but the friend I ate here with is. The food was actually really really good. I had the pad Thai lunch special and Thai tea with soy milk and the flavor of both was fantastic, and the wonton(?) That came with the pad Thai was really good, I wanted order more of just that food item. I tried the tofu as my protein since I'm more used to that than any of the other vegan proteins. I also tried a bit of the pineapple fried rice with "chicken" and the Mongolian beef with "fish" as a substitute because they were out of beef. The chicken was good and the fish was a soy meat which had a fishy flavor, but for those of us that aren't vegan it's easy to tell that it wasn't real meat (however, if I hadn't been told it was a vegan restaurant I probably wouldn't have been looking to critique the proteins as much) but the flavor of the food overall was amazing. The chefs here really know how to cook. The restaurant is popular, the seating was full (it's a small restaurant) and there were many take out orders. I would come here again, for the quality of the food I totally understand the price. I also wish the Thai tea (which had a really good flavor even with soy milk- I might sub for oat milk next time) had come with Boba, I don't recall seeing this on the menu as an option to add.
Pretty nice place, chow mein was nice, but the second meal was pretty basic. Servings are little too big, so unless you’re super hungry, I suggest sharing a plate to avoid wasting food. Thai iced tea was way too sweet and even though we were dining in, it came in a plastic cup. Wish it was more environmentally friendly and sustainable in that way, since many people who eat vegan also care for the planet and want to live as waste free as possible.
Bright Star has the BEST vegan food in the Inland Empire! Their prices are fair for the quality and quantity you receive, the food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is courteous and professional. This is my go-to place for an amazing meal anytime I'm in the area. I'll definitely be coming back here!
Great food. The food came quicker than expected with all their Togo orders and dine in customers. The wait service could've been more attentive but were quick to respond when requested napkins, water refill etc
Not your typical vegan restaurant. This place was delicious. The chef's make everything at a high quality. The crispy vegan chicken is actually crispy! Keep up the good work. They are very kind too. ?
I'm glad they allow indoor seating again, it's just not the same feeling eating this delicious food at home. Don't get me wrong food is still amazing just the ambient energy makes it feel different. Thanks for surviving the on going pandemic and we will continue to visit regularly!
My family and I use to LOVE this place! They have changed owners or managers (definitely new cooks) and have changed so much that my family and I are always left disappointed no matter how many chances we give this place. No more, we are done with Bright Star Thai Vegan.The Tom kha soup is a joke, it claims to have tomatoes, mushrooms, and cilantro like the old soup but NOW they literally give you ONE thin slice of tomato in the entire soup and a few mushrooms left floating in nothing but broth. We feel ripped off.The last time We ordered their curry it tasted so sweet, not like the old curry and We found huge chucks of unmelted BROWN SUGAR in our curry and papaya salad! Can’t believe they are using brown sugar in most of their dishes. It has this new sweetness the old dishes never had.They are now cutting corners. Dishes are smaller, Ingredients are of lower quality and the service is disappointing.Don’t waste your money here, it’s simply not what it use to be.
SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! Health consciously prepared but NOT lacking flavor or texture!!! The service was great and my family THOROUGHLY enjoyed E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!! We will DEFINITELY be back ( ....and we're about 30 miles away!)Thank you, Bright Star!!! ?
I've been here several times. They have great vegan food!!
