Reviews Summary
Thai Vegan offers a delightful array of fresh, flavorful vegan Thai dishes with generous portions and great value. While many praise the authentic flavors, unique options like dumplings and customizable dishes, some reviewers found certain items to be under-seasoned. The friendly staff and quick service contribute to a positive dining experience for many.
"My fav Thai place and yes it’s truly vegan! Their food is prepared when you order so it is very fresh. The flavors are perfect and you can always ask for extra spicy if that’s your thing. The dumplings are delectable especially the pan fried ones. My go to fav dishes are the curry (which in my opinion can cure what ails you. Have a cold or the flu or feeling under the weather, order curry, you will feel better quick. My fav is the red curry) … pad Thai is delicious and can be made without peanuts, the pineapple rice is also a lovely dish. I have tried most of the menu and never had anything I didn’t like. The presentation is also beautiful. The people who work here are kind and have a calm energy that makes you feel welcome and at home. This is literally one of my fav places to grab a quick healthy wholesome meal. This place just makes you feel good. One of my happy places. Oh don’t forget the delicious Thai tea !"

"Very good fried rice and the spicy mint noodles were delicious. Pleasant atmosphere. Portions were also large. Almost two meals for me. The price is great as well. Especially for the LA area."

"I’m really sad to be leaving this review I love supporting vegan restaurants and I never want to give them a low review. However, I do feel that I have to be honest about our experience here and also what we thought of the food… I have tried amazing Thai and other Asian foods in Vancouver BC as well as Seattle Washington, and I must say this is hands-down, the most unflavored Thai food we have ever tried and that’s really weird because Thai food is supposed to be very flavorful we got the salad tofu rolls pad Thai dumplings and tofu sauté and each item was terrible. Almost tasted like something you would find in a food court. I would highly encourage the owners to rethink some of their recipes. For example, their pad Thai has a smoky flavor, which should not be in there and everything is very bland. I would love to see some improvements and then would love to give it another shot."
