Very good

Everything is vegan. Our food was very good, but not as flavorful as some other Thai places. Cost was average. Portion size standard.

Pros: All vegan, Friendly service

All vegan restaurant

We had curry puffs and spring rolls for appetizers. For dinner I had the pineapple fried rice and my husband had Tom kha soup. Everything was delicious and the wait staff was so friendly and apologized for the wait due to a high volume of takeouts even though I didn't think the wait time was bad.

Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff, Reasonable pricing

Cons: Street parking

So good!

Everything was so good. Drunken noodles, massaman curry…listen to the spice levels and err on the side of being a weak American. Delicious!

I loved all of the dishes! We ordered our food to go and tried 3 different dishes: steamed veggie dumplings, Tom Kha soup, and the Pad See Aew with mock duck. The waitstaff was friendly and helped me decide what to order.

Best Vegan Food Anywhere

Stopped here from out of town - hands down the best drunken noodle dish I’ve had anywhere in my life. Prices were great, atmosphere is perfect, and I was lucky enough to be able to talk with the owner for a while about his experience opening the restaurant. He is seriously the nicest man in the world, and I wish him all the best. I will be back any time I am in town, and may even make a special trip just to come here!

Pros: Flavors are unbelievable, Presentation is perfect , Great atmosphere and lovely owner

Awful situation

I drove an hour and 45 mins to go to this place- calling first and being told the time we are coming is perfect. I said I had 3 kids w me. They said great. We get there at the time I said and he says the kitchen is closed “to catch up”. I explained I called and have kids and zero customer service at all. Do not recommend. Will never try it there again.

Cons: Awful service, Zero concern for customers

New favorite

First time in the area since they opened, and stopped in around the time they opened back up for dinner service. The server Gavin was so attentive and friendly, and the food was fast, fresh, and delicious. We split the summer rolls and I had the massaman curry at medium heat, with my partner getting the pad see aew at thai hot. Would recommend sticking to the lower levels of spice if you're not used to thai spice levels!

Pros: Great food , Excellent service , Great prices

Pros: Starters, Fresh and house made, Kid friendly

Cons: Parking

Great Food!

We really enjoyed our meals here. We had the summer rolls and steamed dumplings as appetizers. Both were delicious! My sister had the drunken noodles, my friend had Pad Thai, and I had a stir fry. We all loved our meals.

Wish I lived near this!

I had lunch at the restaurant after visiting Watkins Glen State Park and devoured a lunch special of tofu and vegetables in Thai basil sauce, miso soup, salad, and an appetizer of the curry puffs. All was delicious! Only [minor] complaint was the sauce was a smidge too spicy even though I asked for mild. The food was so good that my partner and I decided to get take out for dinner since we’re staying in Ithaca. We got the curry puffs again because of how amazing they are, tempura vegetables appetizer, and 2 curries (my panang was fantastic while my partner’s massaman was only okay to me though he liked it a lot). Oh, and we got the fried bananas dessert… sooo good!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Ambience was nice.

Pros: All vegan, Delicious , Reasonable prices

Cons: Street parking

Worth the trip!

We drove 30 minutes from Corning to come here for dinner after visiting the Museum of Glass. It was so worth it! I wished we were staying around longer just to come again because there were so many options and it was hard to choose. The choice to add either tofu or seitan to any dish was appreciated. I had the tofu in my pad thai and it was great. The curry puff appetizer was wonderful.
My only criticism would be that everything seems to lean sweet. We got the Thai iced coffee and it was VERY sweet, almost unpleasantly so, overshadowing the flavor. Even my pad thai felt like it was sweet. I was warned about the spice level and asked to customize it while ordering my food but I wish I had been offered a sweetness warning about the drink instead and would have requested much less sugar. I suppose it's a pre mixed coffee though.

Pros: Multiple vegan protein choices, Customizable spice levels, Big portions

Cons: Overly sweet drinks
