The place is very small, and there was a huge group before me so, I knew there was gonna be a wait. but honestly, after I tasted my food, I would’ve waited twice as long.
So yummy and delicious! Spicy and sweet!
We had the tofu satay to start with a peanut ginger sauce. Tofu was nice and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Beware the spicy factor for the sauce, it sneaks up on you! Main course was the tofu curry, one of the dishes the chef won best of vegan for. Great blend of flavors, not your typical green curry, but again watch out for the heat, this one was SPICY! Looking forward to trying the jackfruit next time we’re down. Oh and do make a reservation, it’s a small restaurant and they fill up.
I would definitely come back! We had the green curry, eggplant, and tofu appetizer — all packed with outstanding flavor. Don’t miss the Thai iced tea, it’s so good! The eggplant was especially unique, fried like a blooming onion — crispy, flavorful, and unlike any other I’ve had. Even if you’re not usually an eggplant fan, this dish will change your mind!
I stumbled upon here after a long travel delay day hoping they might have some vegan options, turned out they had an entire vegan menu and the chef has won vegan chef awards!!! Absolutely delicious and creative menu, bursting with flavor. And shoutout to Jessica who was working there, a great vibe with great people, highly recommend!!
Everything is delicious, I had many things
The food and service here is amazing! They have a separate vegan menu and most of the vegan options are also gluten free.
The options on the vegan menu are creative and so delicious!! They also have really thoughtful mocktails & cocktails with fresh ingredients! Absolutely recommend eating here!
I loved the food here! They had an excellent vegan menu, and my omnivore friend said he thought the vegan dishes looked like the best ones on the whole menu. Easily one of my favorite meals in New Orleans.
Rich and filling. Extremely tiny and always has a wait, worth it.

We stopped by for our last evening in New Orleans. They had a long list of mocktails and n/a beers, which were perfect for our family. The food tasted different from other Thai food we have had - some more like Indian food and some more like Chinese food. We got two appetizers (okra & tofu satay) and two entrees (a tofu noodle soup and a jackfruit curry). We also got a small slice of the chai cheesecake - which I didn't know at the time cost $22! There are awards on the wall that show that the chef won 2 New Orleans vegan cooking contests. Service was very nice and attentive. 20% tip is included and there are signs saying that this is to help them pay a living wage. Two appetizers, 2 entrees, one Thai iced tea, one n/a beer, 3 mocktails, and one small slice of cheesecake came to $175 including the tip. You can decide if that's what you're looking for! I'd say our average meal in New Orleans, buying one of just about every vegan option and sharing it at many different restaurants, cost about $80, so this is much more expensive. Bonus though, they give you pandan water, which we discovered is delicious! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-11
We were blown away by our experience here. First of all it felt very upscale for the price--nice flatware, plating, and decorations! They have a fully vegan menu if you flip to the back which is several pages long. I'm only sad we couldn't try more so I will definitely be back. We decided to get the tofu satay appetizer which was perfectly crispy on the outside and very soft in the middle with a delicious dipping sauce. For mains, I ordered the pumpkin curry with 5-spice tofu. This tofu was much firmer/different texture and seasoned differently than the satay which I really appreciated that they have multiple preparations! It was so tasty and the curry was incredibly flavorful. My partner had the jackfruit curry and it was their first time having jackfruit. They really liked it, and I did, too! Everything was so beautifully prepared and yummy. We also enjoyed the blooming tea which was so pretty to watch open up in front of us at the table. I can't forget to mention that they always have vegan desserts!! They had many options this time including a vegan chai cheesecake (I wanted to try the pistachio one but someone before us took the last slice--darn!) which was heavenly. Even the water is flavored with a little pandan which was such a nice touch. It's not a huge place so I think a reservation is definitely preferred. Besides that I have no notes. Can't wait to return and try the rest of the vegan menu!
I was so impressed by the food that I was speechless beyond "wow", "holy smokes", and "this is incredible". My bf and I were both blown away. I went back for lunch the next day. Highly recommend the fried okra appetizer, and the vegan Khao Soi.
I’ve eaten many curries and this by far was one of the best curries I’ve ever had. I had the pumpkin tofu curry and the tofu satay. Please come eat here. The vegan menu is the last 3 pages of the menu!
Amazing food and great service. Multiple gluten free options on the menu too. Highly recommend.
