Nice food but not fresh - Edit
This place has an extensive menu but about two minutes after ordering you receive your food which is almost too prompt! So I imagine most food is prepared and then just heated up. The food was quite tasty but we asked for a box to take it away as we couldn't eat it all and we were charged for the boxes. '

Delicious food, cute space - Edit
My Thai vegan was so good. my friends and I shared the Pad Thai, spring rolls, and tofu stir fry. it was delicious and so exciting to not have to worry about what might be in the food like fish sauce or oyster sauce etc... the space was super unique and although hard to get to, was really cute once we found it.

Food was ok but atmosphere wasn’t great - Edit
I really wanted to love this place because Thai is my go to, but it was a bit disappointing. The food was ok and service was amazing. Unfortunately the atmosphere (especially the restaurant stairs and entrance) were very unpleasant.

Great vegan Thai - Edit
Good vegan Thai place with very real like substitutes if you like those :). Lovely plants in the restaurant. One thing to note is the bubble tea is different than the average its more like a coconut milkshake but I enjoyed it. Overall good place and very reasonable prices.
Read morePros: So many things to choose from and vegan desserts.
Cons: Bathroom could have been nicer.

Wanted to like it - Edit
I really wanted to like this place because it's vegan and I love Thai food. My husband and I agreed it was the worst Thai food we've ever had. He had curry and I had Pad Thai - both were completely flavorless. The table next to us sent their food back and I saw another table leave after only having a few bites. My husband's bubble tea was more like a slushie. The place is pretty dirty too. Overall terrible experience.
Read morePros: 100% vegan
Cons: Flavorless, Dirty environment

My Favorite - Edit
I've been eating here for over 20 years (used to have another location). So many good options! There are still many I've never tried. I've brought a lot of non vegetarian/vegan friends and they've all been very happy with the food too. I don't eat out a lot, but when I do, this place is always my first choice.
Read morePros: Almost overwhelming amount of options , So yummy!, Friendly staff
Cons: Staircase to get inside looks very sketchy, Very little parking in the area

Lots of options - Edit
They have huge menu! Place looks decent for this part of the city. I am huge fan of Thai food, so my expectations are pretty high. Would just say, food is ok. I guess not so many options at this part of the city, so would go for it again if I happen to be there.

Cosy with cute decor and an absolutely massive vegan menu. This place is a real treat, and the food was excellent! It was so nice to sit around a table sharing food with my friends.

Bad. Zero Star if I could and it automates one additional star I can't be rid of - Edit
Their food is OK but the people who run the place are awful. I ordered the Boba and an eggplant dish. There was so much sauce it was a danger of spilling at all times and the Boba was so OLD that the pieces were stuck in inseparable clumps, many of which were the hardness of a marble!
Read moreI asked them how old the boba was and to avoid giving me a legit answer, they told me "Thats how its supposed to be". They were very rude to us because we are white and just because we are white, they think we know nothing about the things they serve. Boba is supposed to be soft and chewy, not so hard it'll break your teeth if you are not careful enough!
Not to mention their boba teas are actually SLUSHIES they just throw boba into. Gross. And the place is filthy. There is dust EVERYWHERE on the plants that drape over your seat. The tables are always weirdly sticky and upon leaving the last time, the cashier physically ASSAULTED my husband. (The review and images are on his review on google) NEVER AGAIN!
Pros: None
Cons: Racism, Physical Assault, Dangerous and dirty

delicious! - Edit
This place is awesome! They even have vegan literature by the door! The menu is massive and 100% vegan. I particularly enjoy the mango fried rice and pad thai. The “lighter entrées” are a great price and portions are generous. The environment is unique, lots of windows and plants. I can't remember if there's an elevator, but if not then you should know that access requires a decent amount of stairs. An otherwise convenient downtown location, close to orange, red, and green lines.
Read morePros: all-vegan, many options, delicious, generous portions, good price
Cons: accessibility concerns (no elevator?), entrées are expensive

Great Thai food and so many options - Edit
The food here was amazing! I went here for dinner with my sister who isn’t vegan, and she was just as impressed. Portions are best shared.
Read moreI wouldn’t say the service was poor, but getting someone to take our order was quite a task. This could be due to a lack of servers. We were one of around five or six tables seated at the time. We were ignored for approximately ten minutes until I went up to the front cashier to (i guess passive aggressively) place our order, (oops.) Once I did that, the woman who I believe is also the owner came and took our order, and was really sweet, and attentive to the details of everything we ordered. The food didn’t take long to come out, and it was all crazy good. We shared Masaman curry with tofu, green papaya salad, pad kee mao without any protein, and fried wantons/dumplings. All super delicious and pleasantly memorable! I give this place 5 stars for the food alone.
Pros: Delicious food , Sharing portions
Cons: Really slow service (until order placed)

yummy food in a beautiful space! - Edit
The food was tasty and served in generous portions, but what really caught my attention was the space itself. It has huge windows and is filled with plants, making it a really pleasant space to spend time.
Read moreAs another reviewer already said, I would recommend sharing dishes here, because the portions were so large. I couldn't even finish the slice of chocolate cake in one go! And/or maybe bring your own containers to take leftover home (I think they use styrofoam).
Pros: extensive menu, generous portions, beautiful windows & plants
Cons: so much food that you can't possibly try it all, the building the restaurant is in is a bit dirty
