Delicious - separate veg menu

I had a Curry Puff which was awesome, followed by the vegan Laksa - which was delicious and had more vegetables than noodles which is unlike almost all others I've ever had. Their medium hotness was a good level of spicyness.

Pros: Very tasty, Separate veg menu

The best vegan "chicken" Satay EVER

I am obsessed with restaurant. We live 2 hours away... it is worth the drive. The curries are amazing, the faux meats are on point, but nothing beats their mock meat chicken satay.
My family is a mixture of eating preferences, from me being vegan, one son vegetarian, my husband doesn't eat red meat and my youngest son is just plain fussy.
There is something here for EVERYONE.
Try it, you will not regret!

Pros: Flavour, Amazing Mock Meats, Variety

Cons: It's 2 hours from my house 😭

Excellent options, no MSG!

I really noticed that this food does not have MSG like most Thai restaurants use. This is a big pro for me! Great to see such a range of vegan options including many mock meats for those that enjoy meaty texture. The wine list was excellent too, highlighting a broad selection of vegan certified wines that are very reasonably priced. We had a bottle of the Full Moon Sagrantino Shiraz and it was excellent.
Vegan spring rolls were perfect.
I had the vegan laksa soup with vegetables and noodles for my main which was flavoured beautifully. It didn’t really had a soup texture though unfortunately but I still enjoyed it.
Very generous portions, great to take home and enjoy the next day!
Looking forward to trying some Thai salads for lunch in the future!

Pros: Reasonably priced , Lovely outdoor seating, Friendly young staff

Interesting vibe and good food

The staff is young girls who were giggling and talking pretty much the whole time😄It didn't bother me at all, but I can see how for older people it might be off-putting. Waitress was happy to help with suggestions on the menu. Service was very fast and I could see that the place is super-popular for takeaways and dining in aswell. Prices were actually not that bad. I took pad see ew, was really good but a bit too greasy, wish I asked to pack half of it to takeaway but couldn't resist eating it all on the spot. Was sitting inside to charge laptop and it was very hot even though some fans was working.

Pros: Fast service, both waitress and food, good location

Cons: A bit loud

Pad Se Ew!! 👌

Saw people review the pad see ew with mock chicken. Ordered it medium spicy and this was one of the best Thai dishes I’ve had in my life 👌
Also had coconut rice which was great.
Panang curry medium was majorly lacking though. Prob worst Panang I’ve ever had. Maybe it was an off day. Next time I go I’d order three pad see ews and call it a day. 🤪

Thai with full vegan menu!

Great little find. Had a relatively late dinner and the restaurant was full, an excellent sign. There’s a full vegan/vegetarian menu which is most exciting, was very happy to see roti with peanut sauce, something I haven’t had since becoming vegan. The food was delicious, had the green curry, Penang curry, roti, mock chicken with satay, and a pad Thai. All excellent. Will happily come back here! Worth 5 stars

Great vegan Thai!

Wow what a find! Super yum authentic Thai food, with full vegan food menu, including mock meats and tofu to add to dishes. This is followed by a dessert menu with several vegan options.
Drinks menu includes a variety of vegan drinks, including wine which is a rare find!
Staff were knowledgable about the menu, and about vegan/veggie options.
Restaurant also uses sustainable reusable metal straws. Huge thumbs up from me!

Would give this place a 5* if app allowed!

Pros: Full vegan food & drinks menu, Delicious authentic Thai flavour, Friendly staff

Tasty Thai

Surprised to find a Thai restaurant catering so well to vegans in Coolum. Enjoyed a very good Panang Curry with steamed rice. For a more substantial meal I would suggest adding optional tofu, mock or peanuts.

The meals are well priced and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Pad See Ew - delicious

Pros: Great food, Vegan/Vegetarian menu , Brilliant service and lovely staff

Must visit for vegans!

Really outstanding food! Clearly listed vegan options with a seperate vegan/vegetarian menu. All curries are vegan and the red curry we had was delicious (we added tofu and cashews). Similarly the pad see ew no egg with added vegan chicken was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend this. The service was friendly and the outdoor seating was pleasant. Overall a great option on the Sunshine Coast for vegans!!

Great variety in the menu. Staff very accommodating, will make any meal vegan, vegetarian also gluten free.

Dining inside or alfresco.
Service was excellent, prompt and helpful.
Brendan was so helpful, I asked him to chose the best meal for me.
I had a Penang curry with tofu and verges.
This was the best vegan meal I have ever had (except for my wife’s cooking).
My wife’s meal was coconut crumbed prawns and salad. She was very pleased.
Brendan is the owner, his wife is the chef. They are committed to providing a large variety of meals for all dietary needs.

Pros: great food , great service

Cons: 90 minute drive from Brisbane.

Best Thai on the Sunshine Coast has Veg/Vegan Menu

Great Thai place has full Veg/Vegan Menu, doesn't use dairy in curries. No MSG! No meat products used in Veg meals. Lots of fresh veggies and herbs used. Relaxed chilled out atmosphere, friendly staff. Licenced and BYO wine. Value for money excellent. Try the Vegetarian Laksa Soup with gluten free rice noodles and Tofu Satay Sticks…….awesome!

Pros: Vegetarian/Vegan Menu, Super fresh , Outdoor relaxed atmosphere
