Mild Thai food with mock meat. Light in oil and spice. Green curry, pad see ew best. Skip papaya salad and Thai Idea Duck.

vegans: They have faux chicken which is desirable because it's significantly tastier than just tofu. It has great texture too. Try the spicy pad kee mao

A tidy vegan Thai spot in the heart of the TL. Grab a bite here and cruise over to Emperor Norton's Boozeland or Liquid Gold to keep the night going.

All the food I tried was really good and they made it without fish and oyster sauce! The firecracker balls were poppin' and the pumpkin curry was delicious and so were the glass noodles.

The place really shines with decoy meat items like mock duck confit and panko-breaded Firecracker balls with a plant-based version of Ahi Tuna. Read more

They make everything without onion/garlic! Wing bombs are awesome and so is the red curry!
Alex TingAugust 2, 2012
Pad see we was legit, as was the pumpkin curry. I liked the appetizers, but save your stomach space for entrees!

Everything comes hella spicy, unless you specify. Theory medium spicy is other places VERY spicy! All delicious.

I would call that Veggi Duck brown tofu but maybe vegetarians feel better that way. Nice place anyway.

Vegetarian Thai food close to 1000 Van Ness. Recommended.

Stick with takeout. Trust me and don't look too closely at the walls. Gorgeous though.

Authentic thai vegetarian food! Note: their medium spicy food is equal to very spicy at other places.

Get a bottle of wine from the liquor store next door and they'll cork it for free! This restaurant doesn't have an alcohol license but that ended up saving us money!

Delicious and nice atmosphere. And it's BYO with a liquor store literally next door.

Wow. Best vegan place in the city so far.
Don JJune 2, 2013
The food is delicious but quite salty here. If you are sensitive to salt, I suggest asking upfront to hold the salt.
Jessica BelluominiJanuary 25, 2015
Get the golden cauliflower and Pad See-Ew with veggie chicken.

Not a vegetarian but thought the pad see eew with fake beef and the mango rice dessert were excellent
Tsung HungSeptember 13, 2017
Bangkok duck with brown rice is a sound option. 😀😀

Chicken bomb appetizer is awesome. (vegan)
Patricia RosselloNovember 18, 2013

It is hard to.believe that everything is vegetarian. The veggie shrimps seem real to me.
JohnMarch 8, 2012
Mhmmm pretty delicious and unique! Try the chicken bomb!
Vanessa RamirezMarch 8, 2012
Most of the food here can be made vegan by request, including the Thai iced tea.
Liz McLean KnightAugust 29, 2015
Wing bomb very nice. ...

Don't bother with the "chicken" larb. It was a disappointment. Bland.

Can someone explain to me the justification of raising the price of pad thai from $7.50 to $9.50??
Rodrigo FerrazOctober 21, 2014
Surpreendente. Um típico restaurante tailandês onde tudo é vegetariano ou vegano. Pratos deliciosos é ótimo atendimento.
