Super expensive for what it is… the vegan meat substitute is marinated tofu. The sauce was tasteless and tasted like bottle from the supermarket. We tried the Padthai and the Kung Pao vegan chicken. Unfortunately I can not recommend the restaurant this time. There are better Thai Vegan food in other restaurants. No parking available.

The consensus among reviewers is that this Thai vegan restaurant falls short in terms of taste and quality. The Padthai and Kung Pao vegan chicken dishes were particularly disappointing, with reviewers describing the sauce as tasteless and the vegan meat substitute as marinated tofu. The green curry was also criticized for lacking creaminess and traditional Thai basil and vegetables.
Reviewers have noted several issues that may impact your dining experience, including long wait times, no parking available, and a lack of eco-friendly practices such as using paper plates and plastic ware. Additionally, the restaurant's take-out focus may make it feel more like a quick-service location than a sit-down restaurant. Be prepared to pay in advance and be aware that there is no restroom on site.

I probably would not eat here again but it wasn’t bad. The green curry just did not taste very creamy and didn’t have any Thai basil nor the typical vegetables you find in curry. And maybe because of Covid they’re using paper plates and plastic ware but it’s definitely not eco-friendly. There’s a bathroom around back I didn’t go in it. And like three parking spots in the back.

This was such a let down. The service was quick but the food was mediocre. Everything was served with plastic utensils and disposable plates. Food wasn't a stand out. Seems like they are more of a take out location. You have to pay in advance before you get your food. No rest room also on site or service water. Won't be coming back.
