Really good vegan and vegetarian Thai food. Good for take outs. Dine-in isn't quite great.Loved the coconut rice.

Sketchy looking place and parking is going to be an adventure but the food is mind blowing, especially if you’re looking for a really good Thai food place with plant protein options. I was surprised at how good the food is and so fresh! We ordered 8 things and o can’t complain about a single thing. Special mention has to go put to the pineapple fried rice and the coconut rice - chef’s kiss!

Delicious vegan Thai food! Love the curry, Thai basil and green bean dishes. And they are courteous and fast too.

Ate here with my family who has vegan food preferences. Really tasty thai food!

Great vegan and vegetarian options. The service is fantastic and extremely quick. Food is delicious and the menu is expansive. They offer numerous dishes that beat most other restaurants. The only down side is that they serve meat also so this restaurant is not exclusively vegetarian/vegan :( I was extremely disappointed about that news. I had to make sure that they use special pots and pans that are not cross contaminated with any meat products.

Be careful if you’re gluten-free!! I ordered gluten-free items and the guy said it was all gluten-free, turns out there was wheat in vegan skewers!! ?I’m super-sick right now. ? So sad.

Their soup is absolutely to die for! The best Thai soup I’ve tasted ever. My wife and I ordered Fried Spring Rolls as well, which was cooked perfectly. We came here because it had 4.9 stars, but this placed deserves 10 stars, as it’s out of this world!

Very yummy vegan Thai food. I really loved the spicy veg catfish! The portions were large and the ingredients were great quality.

Mixed experience. I ordered the Thai Duck, which is essentially a variation on the chinese style vegetarian goose (tofu skins stuffed with mushroom etc). Its tasty but expensive for the portion.However the vegan Pad Kee Mao was a bit too spicy and the Volcanic Beef (supposes to.be spicy) my friend ordered had no chilli at all, we suspect that double portion chilli was added to the pad kee mao.

Absolutely delicious and the staff are so friendly! The pineapple fried rice is to die for!
