Everything clearly labeled as vegetarian/vegan possible. When you ask for things to be veganized they know what you're talking about. One of the only spots I've had vegan Thai iced tea! LOVE their Massaman curry, it's not on the menu but they've never said no, LOL. For whatever reason their food is better fresh in person than take out. Updated from previous review on 2025-09-06

several menu items clearly marked that can be made vegan. Pineapple curry is very sweet and tasty and came with fried tofu. Khao poon was also super flavorful, came with a non-fried tofu. curry puffs are great as well. staff is knowledgeable and attentive and made sure to ask whether we wanted everything vegan after we ordered our appetizer vegan. great service!

This is a great find! Their food is fresh and flavorful, and portions are sizable. Would recommend the sticky rice salad to start. Also loved the bright, cheerful decor and atmosphere.
