Decent - Edit
Staff are attentive and the atmosphere is great with live music playing. There's a vegan section marked on the menu. We had friend gyoza to start which was delicious. The main dishes were lacking flavour and,despite asking for them to be made medium spicy, they weren't hot at all.

Pros: vegan options clearly labelled
Cons: expensive, flavour

Meh at best - Edit
They told us they don't use any fish or oyster sauce in their food, which is cool. The curries are vegan with tofu. I had the panang curry, which was ok, and my husband had the pad kee mao, which was not very good. And like everything in the area, it's very expensive. I would not go there again.

All dishes modifiable to vegan - Edit
This was a good option for us, as we have struggled to find food on the Island. They allow you to switch to tofu on any menu item and there are some really good dishes. we got the curry, orange tofu, cashew tofu, and all were tasty and filling.

Very good experience - Edit
One word of caution: none of the websites claiming to be them are actually them, so don't order from a "Vegan menu" it isn't them.
Read moreI think in a place like this it helps to have a stellar staff person guide the kitchen and communicate needs and so forth or it could potentially go sideways. Luckily for us, Skye was our server and she is one of the best servers we've had anywhere and is a true asset to the community and this establishment.
We ordered several dishes, all of which hit the spot, and were confidently vegan since our needs and preferences were thoroughly communicated.
Good serving sizes, fabulous mocktail of strawberry, mango, and passionfruit.
Pros: Staff, food

After poking around, we found some better options elsewhere for less money. Still we enjoyed the dinner for what it was.

Casual Thai - Edit
Casual, open air restaurant with live music. While the large menu could use some re-organizing to be easier to read, the staff understands what vegan is and confirmed that there’s no fish sauce in the curries.
Read moreRecommended dishes: drunken noodles (our favorite), Penang curry, and tofu poke bowl. Skip the papaya salad. They can veganize it, but the vegan version was bland because they just left off the fish sauce and there wasn’t any flavoring replacing it.

A few options - Edit
Came here as we’d seen Google reviews that there was lots of vegan sushi options. Couldn’t see any vegan sushi on the menu for the Rock n Roll Sushi part of the restaurant, the Bangkok Happy Bowl seemed to be accommodating stating on the menu they will substitute meat for tofu. I got the poke bowl with tofu which was ok, filling but nothing special. Lovely service from the staff!

A few vegan options - Edit
The thing we really loved was the live island music with hula dancing. We had the green curry with tofu and the Bangkok bowl with tofu. Ordered mild but it was plenty fiery. The tofu was nice and crispy in the bowl and the curry was flavorful. Our server did seem to want to hurry us along even though they weren’t that busy. Overall enjoyable and walking distance from our hotel.

Sus - Edit
I was pretty skeptical of this place based on the reviews. We asked two separate people if they had a separate vegan menu like others mentioned and as of December 2021, they do not.
Read moreWe asked the server if the curry has shrimp in the base, or if there is fish sauce of any kind in either of our plates (yellow curry with tofu and cashew nut sub tofu) and were told no.
The yellow curry came out with chicken in it, the server was kind about it and did bring out one with tofu. He did write down tofu so I believe it was a kitchen mistake.
Overall they were nice, the food was decent, but the prices were excessive. Each of our plates was $20 and it really just didn’t feel worth it.

Good dinner option - Edit
The curry is a good dinner especially when all the other vegan opens are closed, this one is open the longest in the area. Can be pricey and the wait time can be long. Best option I found was ordering ahead and doing to go.

Very Tasty - Edit
This place just reopened after Covid the week we were here. We had been here 3 years ago and were glad it’s still here. There is no dedicated vegetarian menu but almost everything on the menu can be made vegetarian or vegan. The staff was very knowledgeable about which dishes could not be made vegan and why (shrimp paste in the panang curry for example). We got the green curry, cashew tofu and Pad Ki Maw. All were really tasty, even the kids liked them.
Read morePros: Many options, Very tasty, Helpful staff
Cons: Some dishes can’t be veganized (orange chicken), Pricey for the amount you get

average but inclusive - Edit
The staff was very nice and gave everyone complimentary edamame for a starter. There’s a vegan section on the Thai menu, I got the drunken noodles jay. (Jay meaning vegan in thai). A bit oily but flavorful. There was also a small selection of vegan rolls on the sushi menu that looked good. Fun place but just so-so thai food. Really liked that there was a vegan section to the menu!

Had the Eggplant Lover Jay & requested to add tofu. Was great! Husband had the Yellow Curry (the only curry that is vegan). We ate here twice ;)

Tasty vegan options, but make sure you get the REAL vegan menu - Edit
Food: 4 stars
Read moreService: 2 for lack of training
Before going for dinner last night, I checked their website and saw there was a ‘vegan menu’. Naturally, I asked for one at the restaurant, and the first server told me they didn’t have one - but proceeded to tell me which dishes could be made vegan including all the curries. When a second server came to take the order, I proceeded to order the green curry and just casually confirming that it was vegan, to which she said ‘no’ and gave me the vegan menu I was expecting earlier (a tiny card smaller than a business card, from her secret folder). It had 4 dishes total, and I ordered the eggplant lovers jay.
The dish itself was good, but the fact that I could have unknowingly eaten animal really bothered me :(

Great Place for a Vegan or Vegetarian! - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu and it has at least 20 items on it! I've had the Vegan Veggie Delight and the Ginger Jay Tofu, both excellent dishes. Perfectly seasoned, lots of flavor but not overwhelmingly so. You can pick your spice level you want from 1 to 4. This allowed my husband more choices as he hates anything spicy.
Read moreThe service also impressed me as I was getting a to go order and they asked me if I wanted water while I waited. Plus the waiter went back to the kitchen to find the answer to a couple of questions I had. They were extremely helpful.
Pros: Excellent vegan selection, Great food., Helpful about any questions

Lied/unknowlageable - Edit
I have to update my review... I raved about the green curry and waitress who told us there was not a vegan menu ( as a previous reviewer had posted only a few months ago), but told us which itemn could be made vegan. I ordered the green curry as she told me it could be made vegan and it was so good we decided to come back for it a few days later for our anniversary. At that time our new waitress handed us the vegan menu... so yes, there was one. Green curry wasnt on it so I asked why and she told me their green curry is made with a shrimp base. We were pissed. The food was good but that experience kinda blew it for us.
Read moreIt was expensive, about $18-25 a dish. I thought it was worth it until they fed me animal product
Cons: $17-25 a Dish

no vegan menu/not accurate vegan menu - Edit
when i went in today (april 2019) there was no vegan section to the menu. i asked about it and was given a giant vegan menu that i posted a picture of. the server was really knowledgeable about what was vegan. he said not everything on the vegan menu is actually vegan, and they don’t have everything listed on there. all the curries have shrimp sauce aside from yellow curry. that’s the only vegan one. i got the pad thai (they ask tofu or veggies and i asked for both) and my mom got vegan fried rice. you pick your spice level from 1-4. we also got an appetizer of gyoza. server said it’s plant based but fried with dead animals so he offered to have them steamed instead. tasted good! i appreciate the knowledgeable staff a lot.

Pretty good vegan options - Edit
This place looks like it’s going to be two restaurants when you check out the menus online, but it’s just one establishment. When I went in April 2019, the menus they gave me did not have a vegan section like other reviewers have mentioned, but the server was knowledgeable of what could be made vegan.
Read moreI liked the pad Thai. It was one of the more flavorful items I had on Kauai, which in general seasons its food less strongly than mainland restaurants. Warm and citrusy!
The veggie poke bowl was not at all what I expected. It was very different than the poke bowls I typically get in LA (tofu, soy sauce, mango or pineapple, rice, ginger, wasabi, sesame seeds). This had rice, a bunch of large pieces of broccoli, seaweed salad, some bell pepper, and no tofu... the sauce tasted vaguely creamy even though the server said it was dairy free.
I suggest going with the (cooked) Thai food if you eat here.

An extra star for having a clear vegan section on the menu, but I would highly recommend eating elsewhere. I ordered spicy vegan pad thai and the only flavour it had was vaguely fishy. Vegetable gyoza are deep fried with animal products.

We stopped by on chance and were glad to see that they had a totally vegan section which did not appear to be the norm for the area. We arrived for their happy hour. The service was great, the atmosphere outside very nice and the food was great. We had the red curry which was one of the better vegan curries we have been able to find.

There are only a few vegan items on the menu, but my ginger tofu and veggies was really enjoyable. I ordered a side of steamed veggies in case there weren't enough inmy main dish but the portion was generous. Also had brown rice if you wanted. Actually I think that I enjoyed my meal more than my omnivore companion.

Great service, decent food - Edit
I have mixed feelings about this place. The staff was awesome. Super friendly and helpful. One staff member taught my 14 yr old son how to use chop sticks. The atmosphere was fun with a two person band playing at the entrance. On the menu there is a section that is clearly marked vegan. I believe there are 5 or 6 dishes. My husband ordered the vegan pad thai. He even pointed to the vegan Pad Thai on the menu, however when it came he discovered it had eggs in it. He hates sending this back so he just ate around it. I got the vegan fried rice and veggies. I forgot the exact name. It was good but lacking in flavor. I asked for the chili sauce and that helped a lot. This place is definitely trying to be vegan friendly and the staff was so nice I still highly recommend it even with the egg mishap.
