Delicious and Helpful

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

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!
All in all a really great place where I felt comfortable as a vegan and went home with a satisfied belly😄

Pros: Very accommodating , Knowledgeable about ingredients , Comfortable place

Excellent food and customer service

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 change from heavy German style food inHelen, Ga

Very good fresh food. We wanted something lighter than the typical German fair in Helen, GA. The Basil Spring Roll, Pad Cashew, and I got Vegetable Pad Pak with tofu. Everything was just delicious.

Pros: Man rolls were vegan, Many dishes were vegan and could be customized., Good service and prices.

Cons: None

Great Thai and Japanese restaurant

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!!

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

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.

Pros: Very flavorful dishes, Excellent green curry , Lots of veggies in their curry and stir fry

Love, love, love Spice 55

Without a doubt the best Thai food in this area. We have eaten here for years and the Vegan options are amazing! A lot of dishes and soups with tofu to choose from as well as Vegan sushi options.

Good, but limited options

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.

Pros: Honest Servers, Willing to accomodate

Cons: Mislabeled vegetarian items, Nothing is vegan by default

Great tasting and good service

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!
