Plumeria Vegetarian Encinitas

I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. My go-to is usually the spicy and crispy faux duck larb, and dear husband’s favorite is spicy pumpkin curry with brown rice. They do spicy from 1-10, but a 3 is already spicy enough for me. We share an order of fresh steamed tofu spring rolls as well as an order of sticky rice with mango when in season. Sometimes we order different dishes, but we usually come back to the same because they’re so good. With my women friends we usually share a large pot of chi soup, crispy duck Rama (stir fried vegetables with faux duck) and mango sticky rice. But no matter what we order, it’s always excellent as is the service.

The best Thai restaurant in San Diego county! Everything on the menu is delicious and always served perfectly. That is really nice and here it’s great..

We are vegetarian with NO 5 pungent vegetables (Buddha vegetarian). They can accommodate all this for us and varies selection to choose from. Easy street parking in historical Encinitas village. Very nice environment.

Enter at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went to eat there not realizing it was there lunch break time. However, I noticed one of the cooks at the window was staring and looking highly annoyed. We were told by cashier, we could eat outside and they would bring the “to go order outside” Despite all of this happening, we ordered. Sadly we were disappointed in the food quality, quantity and taste. I usually frequent North Park and I have not been disappointed. Encinitas location on the other hand- A BIG NO for me. The $85 was not worth it.

Now fully vegan. Has wide selection of healthy and delicious Thai dishes. Had the jackfruit and eggplant saute...yummy!

I walked by this gem in downtown encinitas for years and never thought to try it until this summer. It is unassuming on the outside but once you enter, you no longer hear the sound of traffic or people. The interior is beautiful and serene. The food is delicious and priced fairly. We ordered the pad thai and panang curry with thai tea. Everything tasted amazing. The service was friendly and fast.

Always glad to have guaranteed vegan options at a Thai restaurant — and I don’t think I saw anything that wasn’t vegan on the menu! Definitely recommend trying the vegetarian chicken and duck

Delicious

One of my favorite vegan spots in north county. The Pad See Ew is amazing and I definitely recommend getting the appetizer sampler because everything is so good! The food can get really spicy really fast so be careful 😁 Updated from previous review on 2025-07-09

Good food, huge amount of curry, very popular place. Not a place to go if you want quiet conversation, given that it is so very popular.
2025 update. we were there for lunch, were able to sit outside. it was fantastic. The food was even better, and it was very comfortable.

Restaurant that is now all Thai vegan!! So many items to choose from. Fresh Spring Rolls made with brown rice paper are a must. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-26

I recently visited this adorable and chill restaurant, and it totally stole my heart! Our server, Bea, was absolutely amazing—so attentive and funny, she really made the experience special. I kicked things off with some Roasted Coconut tea and then tried the Spicy Ginger Tea, which was just incredible!

For my meal, I went with the Somtom Authentic Clay Mantar, which is my all-time favorite Thai salad—it’s so refreshing! I also had the Spicy Basil Fried Rice; they stir-fry jasmine rice with garlic, bell peppers, carrots, onions, chili, and fresh basil, and I opted for the mock chicken to top it off. It was bursting with flavor and so tasty!

To finish off my lunch on a sweet note, I enjoyed some Fried Banana drizzled with agave syrup and paired it with Thai coffee. Overall, I had a lovely time and left feeling super happy and satisfied! 🍽️🌟
