Great New Vegan Thai Cafe on Ponsonby St - Edit

This café just opened a week ago. It is nice to have an all vegan plant-based option on Ponsonby Street. This café fits right in with it's neighbors in this upscale dining district of fine dine, street side cafes, upscale bars and shops. This is a must try if you love Thai and you are vegan.

The staff and owner is really friendly. Over the past week they have offered food tastings and they are looking for feedback from their patrons on what should be offered on the menu. Their menu is very limited with 2 entree, 3 mains and some limited drink non-acholic options.

I had the green curry, which was amazing. The veggies were cooked to perfection. I do not like my eggplant mushy and this was cooked to the perfect constancy. The kumara and pumpkin seeds are a nice add to this dish. I ordered it hot and it had the right heat without taking away from the awesome flavor of the green curry sauce. I also had the purple rice with sunflower seeds which was a nice twist on a rice offering and a great combination with the curry. The kombucha on tap was a nice add to my meal . The soupy squash coconut dessert was a great way to end the meal.

The food, service and atmosphere are 5 plus. I would like to see more gluten free options on the menu , but they were very accommodating to make adjustments to some of the menu options to make it gluten-free. It is fine if you have gluten sensitivity, but not if you are celiac.

Pros: Entire menu vegan, Great service, Priced right and portions are decent size

Cons: Limited menu only 2 starts and 3 mains, Limited gluten-free options
