I had an okay meal here, but I feel like this is a one and done for me. The red beat vermicelli noodles were good but not substantial enough for me. I was happy that they weren’t oily, but wish there was more tofu and other ingredients mixed in. Brussel sprouts were nice but relatively small. Bok choy was okay but unremarkable. Ramen noodle dish with tempeh was maybe my least favorite.

My wife and I are not vegan or vegetarians but good food is good food so we enjoy experiencing it as much as we can. My wife, who is Thai, brought me here after a friend of hers took her and we had a wonderful experience from both the staff and the food. Its a very relaxed environment from the moment you walk in being greeted by the staff to sitting at your table overlooking the ongoings of Lincoln Blvd just outside. I highly recommend this if you are in the mood for some delicious Thai food and even if you are not vegetarian it's a wonderful place to dine with dishes that will delight.

My favorite go to vegan Thai dinner. Gourmet food served in a casual restaurant. A gem in Los Angeles, free parking. Excellent food, highly recommended. Every dish was made with care and the ingredients are of high quality. Highly recommended. Chef is trained in the best culinary school in New York. Her constant passion to make better food is clearly reflected in her cooking. Each time I’ve been here, I can see how her food has stepped up to the next level.

here to say - try the Meang Kham!! I rarely like salads, but loved it - it’s crispy, has well-balanced flavors and the tamarind chutney adds the perfect zing! Loved the coconut sticky rice w/ mango for desert too. Other dishes were decent, but not particularly memorable. The Tom-Kha was a little too coconut-y for my taste, and could use more lemongrass.

EXCELLENT FOOD, LOVELY STAFF AND OWNER. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! New Yorker visiting in May with non vegan friends and they loved it too. I’m vegan with access to some of the best NYC vegan food and this rivals many of them. The menu is varied, delicious, authentic and reasonable. The atmosphere is welcoming, casual, clean and simple. We met the owner and chefs and they were so so lovely. I’d be here regularly if I lived close by.

The first time we came here the flavors were so subtle. I didn't even notice what I was missing but the second time the flavors really started to stand out as being unique and extremely well balanced and exquisite, and I was able to taste the vegetables themselves. We love the snap pea salad, and the Ong Choi, the Tom, Yum soup, as well as the yellow curries and lions mane fried chicken. The catfish is good too and filling.

Delicious and unique Thai food, the vibe is great and the people are welcoming. The endive cups are incredible and the mung bean pad Thai is fantastic.
