We ate dinner there recently on the basis of this listing. While I am not strictly vegan I am vegetarian with some added food allergies, including to crustaceans. With thai food it can be hard to avoid shrimp paste in particular. For a start, there was no dedicated vegan menu at this restaurant. Our waiter told him I should ask him for what I wanted, and he'd tell me if it was ok. I made it clear I was allergic to shrimp paste. After ordering (I went for the vegetarian pad thai) he came out and asked me, "Exactly how allergic are you?" Which did not inspire a great deal of confidence! Anyhow, in the end the food was yummy and I was fine, but I left feeling pretty unconvinced of their vegan credentials.
