Accidentally found this place while searching for vegan food and so glad I did! They have an entire vegan menu! I ordered pad see-ew with tofu to go and it's so good! Nice that they have parking around the back.

Not many places that have an extensive vegan menu, so I'm super happy I found this place.
The owner (I believe) was very kind. Besides saying the difference in soup, he showed me too.

This place is tiny (5 tables...4 2-seaters) so just a heads up.

I’ve ordered from here so many times and they never miss! The owner is so kind and attentive. He is also knowledgeable on veganism and has a pretty big separate vegan menu and instead of just making things vegan by omitting ingredients, the owner has vegan replacements (which is so thoughtful). My favorites include the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tofu Delight and the Pad Woon Sen. The Thai Tea here is also delicious! Updated from previous review on 2024-04-29

This place is awful. The server looked annoyed to have us there and with the worst attitude said, “order now so you can eat.” Then said that the cook left. Why is it open if they don’t even have a cook? We just left and the server still tried to act like we had inconvenienced him.
