Great Thai - Edit
Despite other reviews, this restaurant will make vegan food. You just have to ask. We order the tofu appetizer, papaya salad (without fish sauce), spicy basil veggies and vegan fried rice. It’s always exceptional.

Delicious and most can be made vegan - Edit
My vegan family (wife and I are 25 year vegans), and 3 vegan lifer kids, along with my gf MIL and omni FIL were starving after kayaking. We almost didn't go here due to previous reviews. I'm glad we did. Everything is made to order. They were able to make us completely vegan dishes: tofu, no fish or oyster sauce.
Read moreI had yellow curry tofu, 13yo had veggie rice wrap rolls, 11yo had pad thai, 8yo shared and had fried tofu (an appetizer), and my wife had red curry tofu. No hint of anything not vegan, and I tried just about everything ;0)
My MIL was easily able to get gluten-free green curry. Everyone was happy.
Pros: Yellow curry, Red curry, Everything! Prices were reasonable, too.
Cons: Clearly marked vegan options would be nice

Only okay - Edit
I was hesitant to try this restaurant after the prior review about them always using oyster or fish sauce, but there are so few options in the area that I decided to go in and inquire. I was told they could make the vegetable garden dish (veggies in garlic sauce) with no such sauce, so I got that with tofu. It was not super flavorful and had like 5 pieces of tofu but did have a nice variety of vegetables. It was also pricey (I paid $15 for it).

Cons: Not clear about vegan options, Pricey

NOT veg - oyster sauce in everything! - Edit
I attempted to eat here tonight because their website says that they can “make most entrees vegetarian” and to notify them of any allergies.
Read moreHowever, when I asked the server more specifics in terms of is there any fish sauce, any oyster sauce in their curries or stir fry…it turns out that they always use oyster sauce. They think that by not using fish sauce it’s vegetarian (but if it still has oyster that obviously is not true). She said she could make soups with veggie stock but I did not trust it at that point.
They were nice though and at least made me a steamed vegetables, tofu and brown rice plate with plain soy sauce. And their mango sticky rice is just coconut milk and vegan. But beware that everything else is non veg!
Pros: Mango sticky rice, Nice service
Cons: They think oyster sauce is “vegetarian” , Cannot modify any sauces, all are non veg

I’m grateful - Edit
I ordered Pad Thai with tofu as my meat option.
Read moreThe servings were huge (which is great!), but it was 97% noodles, 2.5% tofu and 0.5% veggies (which is not great, as I WISH Pad Thai would be 50% noodles and 50% tofu/veggies)
The flavor was pretty good.
Since there was so much noodles, I have leftovers that I’ll cook some veggies to go into tomorrow.
The Pad Thai price was typical slightly high because it’s in the Tahoe area, and considering that I was pretty much all noodles - but not terribly high priced.
I also got spring rolls, and those were pretty yummy. And the rolls’ dipping sauce was unique. It was peanutty, sweet and a little spicey, but more sweet than I’m used to, and by the end of dipping the first roll, the sauce’s sweetness totally reminded me of jelly, and I had the sensation I was eating peanut butter and jelly!
Oh, like most restaurants, their takeout/to-go packaging/containers are TERrible. Styrofoam and plastic wrap. Bummer :-/
The staff were very friendly - which is always nice and appreciated :-)
Pros: BIG portion, Yummy dipping sauce
Cons: Terrible containers/packaging, Mostly noodles in Pad Thai
