Delicious and Helpful - Edit
Love this place! I went twice while visiting Helen, GA. First time Amanda was my waitress and she explained how to veganize the menu and was very helpful explaining they removed fish and oyster sauce from dishes to make it easier for the vegans. I got the fresh basil rolls, fried tofu, and Pad Pak with tofu the first time. The second time Macy was my waitress and she was so sweet! I got the fried tofu again and the Pad Thai with tofu and no eggs. It was amazing!! Everyone was very kind and helpful there, the food was also amazing! I highly recommend grabbing lunch or dinner here.

Very accommodating - Edit
We went there twice and both times happy. Servers are skilled on pointing out all the info for potentially non-vegan ingredients and options alike. First time I had a stir fry with tofu, very nice and the second time I was feeling sushi. Admittedly, only one item there at first glance. So, I asked if they were open to making avocado nigiri (seeing they had the ingredients) and they were very happy to and delivered satisfactory!

Really enjoyed the Spring rolls, Mixed vegetables Pad Pak with tofu and brown rice. The food was flavorful and the veggies were just right (tender yet still with a crispness). Best meal we’ve had so far during our visit to Helen. My belly is happy!!!

Great Thai and Japanese restaurant - Edit
Delicious Thai and Japanese vegan options, to include veggie sushi roll, edamame, pad thai and pad pak. Most entrees have the tofu or vegetable option. Just make sure to ask for no egg or dairy.

Delicious!! - Edit
Some of the absolute best Thai food we’ve had. I ordered the Panang Curry with tofu and it was so good. They were able to veganize all the dishes we wanted from Pad Thai to Fried Rice. Great outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place!

Can you tell me which items do not have the fish or oyster sauce, as I understand those dishes they can not change. Also which appetizers are vegan?

Excellent Thai Food - Edit
We had the green curry and vegetable stir fry. Both dishes were packed full of vegetables. We had them add ginger to the vegetable stir fry sauce. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options on their menu. The two dishes we had were very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be stopping in again when we are in Helen. Looking forward to trying their other curries.

Good, but limited options - Edit
I've had a good experience here, but I can't give it a 4 star review due to almost every item containing fish or oyster sauce (which they still include in some dishes if you say to omit fish sauce). With that being said, they've always been willing to customize dishes whenever possible. I've only gone for work functions, but my meals have been good there. Just beware that the vegetarian section DOES contain fish and/or oyster sauce and you'll have to customize them.
Read morePros: Honest Servers, Willing to accomodate
Cons: Mislabeled vegetarian items, Nothing is vegan by default

Great tasting and good service - Edit
They are not able to omit fish sauce from dishes that include it (I tried to get the pad thai w/o fish sauce and was told they couldn't do that). Our waitress did help us by showing a few menu items that could be vegan so I got the red curry with tofu and my husband got the green curry also with tofu. We got a tofu starter as well although I can't quite remember what it was called. Everything tasted great and I thoroughly enjoyed my curry!
