I love this place! - Edit
Every time I come they are always nice and eager to accommodate my vegan requests. If I order something that is not vegan and I thought it was they will let me know that I can alter the order to make it vegan!

really good! - Edit
Pattaya Thai has lots of vegan options that are labeled as vegan. You can get tofu on any dish as well. The pad Thai is really good, but the vegan spring rolls were my absolute favorite

Careful what you ask for - Edit
I went in and had Lemongrass Soup and Tofu Pad Thai here. I usually ask for medium spicy, and I did. My meal was quite spicy, but not inedible. I'll go back, but remember not to amend my order.

"very tasty"
Read moreI visited this fine establishment with my aunt tonight. The decor of the interior is beautiful with elegant faces of siddhartha centered on differing shades of red. The menu was big. There were around three vegan appetizers. The main menu had one section for curries, one for stir-fry and one for special entrees. Each section (excluding the last) had your choice of protein. There was beef, chicken, shrimp, seafood combo or tofu. Since this was a Thai restaurant, what is vegetarian is vegan (since milk would be coconut) but in a restaurant like this one must be leery of fish sauce.
The ambiance was nice: quiet, with the only sounds being the murmuring of the staff and Sarah McLachlan playing softly in the background. The service was prompt and courteous. None of this was surprising since we were dining alone. It being a Wednesday night around dinner time, one would have thought there would be plenty of customers. However, we literally were the only ones in the restaurant.
As an appetizer we had fried spring rolls (vegan) with sweet chili sauce. They we crispy, hot and tasty. Within ten minutes my lime curry with tofu was presented to me along side my aunt's beef stir fry. It was a delicious coconut curry with fresh Thai lime leaf to infuse the green curry paste and coconut milk creating a sweet symphony of flavors. The tofu was not marinated nor braised, but I did not mind the natural soy taste. It also had red and green bell peppers in this wonderful stew to sop over the white rice.
Overall it was a nice experience, and I realized how much I missed Bangkok curry. Not the greatest Thai food restaurant I have been to, but close.
Pros: Tasty, Good servers, Clean
Cons: Plastic dinnerware, Instant-seeming rice

Wall of Pain - Edit
I was excited to eat here. Our food did not disappoint. Our party of three had a stir-fry, Panang curry (green), and I had drunken noodle. I asked the waitress to make it extra-hot, and qualified it that I eat raw habaneras. The waitress confirmed the extra hot order with me. We wrote out a waiver on a small notepad and signed it. The chef did a beautiful job on spicing the dish. The sweet came through first, the chili hit, and then followed up with the habanera. The dish was superbly done to allow the flavor through but keep the heat as well. The staff couldn't believe we ate the dish (my two companions ate some as well). The chef came over, shook hands, and couldn't believe we ate the dish. He stated that when they tasted it in the back, they would not have eaten it. The chef took a picture and decided he was going to make a Wall of Pain. He wants to pair the pictures (after consumption) with the waivers somewhere in the restaurant. The whole experience was a joy. I judge Chili competitions, eat raw habaneras, scotch bonnets, and try to find the hottest hot sauces. This experience rates as one of the best. Oh yeah... The food was excellent. The chef's and the waitress were beautiful people and attentive to our dining experience. The portions were large, and the overall experience was great. The only improvement we could see for this restuarant was that the atmosphere lacked a little for us. We commented to ourselves that some colored sheets draped from the ceiling, or soemthing else to draw our eye in the room would have improved the ambiance. But this was not a big deal at all, just the only con we discussed. Again, an excellent dining experience.

Awesome first experience - Edit
The food was fantastic. Spring rolls were crisp and very fresh-hot. My chicken curry stir fry was good to the very last scrap, and the ginger rice was just sticky enough without being gooey. The other entre was padt thai mau and it was seasoned perfectly. The portion was way larger than my vegan friend could handle, so I'm having it tomorrow for lunch.
