Kati Vegan Thai

This is an excellent Thai place. The Kra Pao is exceptional with deep, complex flavors, slightly herbal and earthy. I loved the Tom Kha and Larb eggplant salad as well. Both were delicious with sharp, distinctive flavors. The Pad See Ew noodles was the only dish that did not impress. The noodles had no charring and were a bit dry. They also were far less oily compared to most other places, which maybe is more healthy, but compromised the taste.

Shockingly expensive for mediocre Thai food. Add in auto-gratuity on a slow lunch day and it makes it feel extreme, considering the little effort that is required by the staff. Entrées do not come with rice. It is five dollars. that is absurd. The food itself was like mediocre Thai food. However, most mediocre Thai places would give you larger portions with a larger variety of vegetables for about half the cost. The pad puk for example had four pieces of tofu, three or four pieces of broccoli, two pieces of cauliflower, some carrot slices and a pile of cabbage. That’s it. It was $20 with no rice. The only standout is the Thai coffee because they use quality coconut milk. It is actually very reasonably priced. But they do try to skimp on the coconut milk, so make sure you ask for more. M

One of the most exceptional vegan restaurants I have ever visited. The Coastal Curry, generously garnished with artichokes and topped with fried garlic jackfruit, was an outstanding combination, complemented by a side of purple rice. The mushroom-based starters are particularly noteworthy, with the Devil Wings being a standout. This establishment is a haven for vegan food enthusiasts, and I highly recommend it.

I ordered the Kra-pao with rice and was really impressed. Upon the first bite, I could clearly taste the heat from the wok, which is the first thing I look for in Thai stir-fried dishes. Another good sign was that the basil topping was fresh and crispy from a quick deep fry. In terms of flavor, it was remarkably deep and not overly simple, which is especially impressive since the restaurant is vegan and cannot use fish sauce. The dish avoided the common pitfall of only tasting like soy sauce. The garlic was aromatic, and the string beans had the perfect, slightly crunchy texture, which nicely juxtaposed with the softer vegan meat and onions. The generous portion of bamboo shoots was also crucial. After being so impressed by the Kra-pao, I decided to order the Pad Kee Mao to taste and tak

This was my first time trying vegan Thai food, and I was genuinely excited. The appetizers were great, and the Massaman curry was delicious. But the entire experience was completely ruined by the waitress’s rude and dismissive attitude. She refused to give me a larger container for my takeaway while giving my dining companions theirs, saying my meal was “too small for one.” I couldn’t believe how unnecessarily rude she was. It’s honestly shocking that someone working in hospitality could treat guests like that. Save 30 cents, lose a customer. What a terrible way to run a business. I will never return.
