Just OK

I chose the Rama Garden- steamed vegetables and tofu with peanut sauce. Not that great. The scallion pancakes were just okay also. I should have ordered a curry. I asked whether Thai iced tea could be made with coconut milk rather than dairy, and was told that’s not possible. I doubt I’d return to try it again.

Lots of Vegan Options!

With this current pandemic, I can't venture out to my normal all-vegan eateries. My area doesn't have too many vegan options (Chipotle, Taco Bell, and Subway are my options, plus a cheeseless pizza named "Vegan" from a nearby pizzeria). I was suprised when I learned of Rice Passions after browsing various different delivery platforms.

I was SUPER happy to see so many vegan options listed on their menu via their website, denoted by the classic "V" marking that looks like a blades of grass with a leaf. Sadly, their menu on Uber Eats isn't as clearly marked, but it's easy to use their regular website to see what is and isn't vegan.

So far, I've loved everything I've tried, which is a lot! The scallion pancakes with the ginger sauce, koo chai (dumplings) with house-special ginger sauce (warning: SPICY sauce!), vegetable fresh basil rolls (so refreshing) with a house-special sauce, tofu soup, seaweed salad, mango curry (twice with rice, once with steamed noodles), mango with sweet sticky rice, and homemade limeade.

The only thing I was probably slightly disappointed with was the limeade, which taste like they use seltzer water. It's not a bad thing, it just makes it taste a bit odd.

My favourite dish is probably the mango with sweet sticky rice, followed by a tie between the scallion pancakes and the koo chai. The scallion pancakes and koo chai (dumplings) are similar in the sense they contain a type of allium (onion/garlic family), but the scallion pancakes are much flatter and sweeter. You also get more pancakes than the dumplings. If you were to go with one or the other, I say go with the scallion pancakes – you get more bang for your buck.

The food comes in a neatly stapled paper bag, as does the drink. Since my drink isn't pre-bottled, they put tape over the hole for straw to prevent it from spilling out, which works very well! The food itself is put in a mixture of plastic, coated paper boxes, and tin containers, depending on what the food is. Both paper bags are put into a medium-sized plastic bag for delivery.

Overall, I highly recommend this place! I think this is a good place for vegans if you're in similar situation as me (limited vegan options & limited travel at the moment) or if you're getting food with omnivores and you all agree on thai cuisine.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious food, Local

Cons: Uber Eats listing doesn't include all the labeling, UE also doesn't have all the customization options
