Good but slow

I had a pretty good meal here: wonton soup and pad thai. I thought everything was very flavorful and the vegan chicken and shrimp were a great change from my usual vegan choices at other Asian restaurants. The wontons were a little mushy in texture but the flavor was there. The only downside to this restaurant was the speed. The server took almost 10 minutes to come and take our drink order. It’s not a deal breaker, but after traveling around the city all day we were ready to go on food. The prices were reasonable for the size of portions.

affordable and tasty

They offer a variety of vegan mock meat based meals starting from soups, appetizer and all the way to desserts. Decently priced and certainly good to have a hot meal in cold Boston! A decent meal should be from $15 to $20

Pros: So many vegan options, Affordable.

Best of the Best

My Thai cannot be beat, seriously. They have so much food. It comes out so quickly. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is always friendly. The food is all absolutely delicious and very fairly priced. I have been here more times than I could ever count. The golden triangles are to die for, by the way. Don't leave without trying those.

Pros: So much food, all vegan

Fast and flavorful

I really liked the restaurant. I had a take away but the restaurant itself was still very cute. I loved the food so much. The price was very fair for the quality.

They have a baking section which is also amazing and all vegan, 100% recommend the chocolate cake!

Pros: All vegan, Fair price, Fast service

Cons: Weird stairwell to get to

One of the best

What's up with all the reviews saying their food is bland? This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to, vegan or non. Everything I've tried off their menu has been intensely flavorful and well-made, so don't be scared off by the bad reviews.

They have everything from basic noodle dishes (their pad thai is the best I've had anywhere) to more extravagant dishes like a pumpkin curry served in a whole sliced pumpkin. (This was amazing, btw.) Would be a great place to bring a date if you really want to impress.

The stairwell to get to the restaurant is a little sketchy but once you step into the restaurant it's a really beautiful space, with tons of live plants and huge window views of Chinatown + the Theater district. Window seats are a great place for people-watching pedestrians down below.

Everything I've gotten here has been delicious, but I think my favorites are anything with the half veggie chicken. Their mock meats are excellent and even omnivores I take here enjoy them.

It also needs to be said that the people here are amazing. I left my phone here by accident and drove all the way back to NH without realizing it. They went above and beyond to help me get my phone back, even though I wasn't able to make the drive down to collect it for three days. I'm extremely grateful.

One of the best options in Boston for sure.

Pros: All-vegan menu with authentic Thai dishes!, Beautiful space, Pumpkin curry!

Cons: Parking situation can be tricky

Decent not great

I was really hopeul about this place, but alas Nothing special here. Green curry was somewhat tasteless. Salad bland. Big focus on faux meats is interesting. I went with tofu which was fine. No beer.

Pros: whole place is vegan

Cons: mediocre food

Huge menu, great food!

We walked right by this place the first time we went. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, and the front door is not the most obvious from street level. It's a big place that can accommodate large parties. The menu is huge - with all-vegetable dishes as well as many "fake-meat" options as well (which my partner loves!) We loved everything we ordered and can't wait to go back.

Huge menu, incredible food!

Don't fear the entrance! :P It's on an upper floor and the staircase look a little dodgy but open up to a big, beautiful space! As with all all-vegan restaurants, it's just so nice to not have to worry about any animal products in your food. And when I say their menu is huge, I MEAN IT! The staff was so sweet, too. A recommended stop when in Boston.

Generally Great Food

I have been here multiple times and I really appreciate this place. Most of the food is good, I'm not a big fan of any of the soups I've tried, but it's probably something people with different tastes would enjoy. They use a lot soy as meat substitutes and some people will probably be weirded out by the shrimp shaped tofu, but it's good. If you like Thai food it's definitely worth a try. They also have vegan cake, which is never a bad thing.

Pros: Affordable , Good Food

Cons: Can get busy

This place blew my mind. Offers everything of a typical Thai place but entirely vegan. The fake meats were very different than anything I’ve ever had.

Amazing Vegan Thai

Went with a couple of friends a few days ago and was thoroughly impressed with the selection! I’ve never had vegan thai food before so this was incredible for me. It took a really long time for our waiter to get to us, but once he came and we ordered, our food came out within 15 minutes. Our main course was brought to us before our appetizer which was kind of strange but regardless the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend the cake desserts as well!! Come here if you have a couple of hours to spare and make sure you’re veryyyyy hungry!

Pros: many options, amazing desserts, great bubble tea (and many flavors)

Cons: very long wait to place our order

very good though not amazing

The place, located on the second floor (US), is a very interesting and spacious spot. Staff are really kind and charming. Food selection is awesome, though the quality in the end I would call simply good. For vegans you should probably add another star. I like the options of veggie chicken, veggie beef, veggie seafood or tofu with most mains. Lunch specials are an awesome value. Cleanliness, I'd also rank as less than excellent but still ok. I'll be back there for sure.

Pros: lots of vegan options and you can even customize e, price is super affordable

Cons: ambience is between nice and falling apart.

delicious and inexpensive

I really enjoyed the Thai curries and soup. The staff were very sweet and the price was great. The atmosphere isn’t much but at the same time helps you concentrate on your company more which is a good thing

Pros: delicious, inexpensive

Cons: not the prettiest establishment

Love the food but the restrooms are disgusting, no soap.

This has been a favorite place over the last few years when we have visited Boston. Service can be slow and lacking friendliness but the food is very good.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Cold - you might need to keep your coat on, Blocked ladies toilet and no soap in men's., How do employees wash their hands?
