Entirely separate vegan menu with tons of choices & delicious food! - Edit
I’ve ordered from here so many times and they never miss! The owner is so kind and attentive. He is also knowledgeable on veganism and has a pretty big separate vegan menu and instead of just making things vegan by omitting ingredients, the owner has vegan replacements (which is so thoughtful). My favorites include the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tofu Delight and the Pad Woon Sen. The Thai Tea here is also delicious!

whole vegan menu! - Edit
My husband and I came here for date night and our food was amazing! they have an extensive separate vegan menu and also mentioned they could make most things on the regular menu vegan as well. we love thai cuisine and here we were confident the food would be truly vegan. The prices were fair for the taste, portions, and service. we will be back!

Amazing Pad Thai - Edit
Possibly the best Pad Thai I've had in San Diego. My only complaint is I think they forgot to add the spice. I asked for a level 3, but I didn't taste any spice at all. Otherwise, very delicious food. They are very accommodating to vegan diets.

Great options - Edit
This is one of my favorite Thai places! Although this is an omnivore restaurant, they offer to make many of their dishes vegan. We have been to this place many times and they always make our favorite dishes perfectly. Typically it is just the 2 owners behind the counter, but they recently hired some additional help. However, I have not noticed any decline in the quality of the vegan meals that we order.

First time here - Edit
Husband and I grabbed Panang Curry with tofu and veggie Pad Thai. Both were good. Husband wasn’t wild for the Pad Thai but I’m certain it’s because he’s used to the one we normally get by our house in Redlands. Anyway, I enjoyed the curry. We ordered via Yelp, unfortunately I placed a comment to make items spicy but were not spicy. Maybe next time?

Okay - Edit
We had the pad Thai which ehhh and the drunken noodles (I forgot the Thai name) which was good but salty. Specify how you want the tofu cooked, otherwise they bring it soft.

Would’ve given it a five star if this app would’ve allowed it. Troy was kind and the food was great and affordable. I had the yellow curry, sweet rice, and tea.

Separate Vegan Menu - Edit
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Small little hole in the wall with great value and service! I had the veggie paradise and the kelp noodles and both had amazing flavor. I think a single meal is $8 before tax and tip, which is such a deal! I have taken all my friends and family here because it is amazing!

Awesome Authentic Thai - Edit
Troy, the owner and chef, is a Bangkok transplant with a perfect variety of Thai and Asian dishes on a separate vegan menu. Was patient and helpful with some grubhub ordering issues out of his control, and made me miss eating Thai food on the river during my last trip to Mae Hong Son (Thailand).
Read moreWill be back soon (probably today, lol) to try one of the curries and noodle dishes :)
Pros: Veggie Paradise - 10/10, Vegan Fried Rice add tofu - 10/10
Cons: No liquor license yet - no Chang beers :(

This little restaurant is cute and cozy and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Great interior, authentic and with a personal signature. We had a great lunch here, everything was made fresh! We also had very delicious ice teas and a surprising dessert - coconut ice cream with orange and caramelized nut sprinkles...hmm! We can only recommend this place :-)

Great Food, Super Place - Edit
Busy B Thai Cafe has a great vegan menu with a number of items. I was in town on business and I ate here at least 6 or 7 times. The Veggie Paradise is awesome, as was the Yellow Curry and Pad See-Ew. They also have steamed veggies, if you want to add more vegetables to any dish.
Read moreThe people who work here are super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.
Pros: Many vegan choices, Delicious!, You can order a side of steamed veggies.
