Best curry we've ever had

I’m so bummed I didn't get a chance to include this in my channel's video this week, but that just means I’ll have to come back! I went here on a date night in SMA and after one bite I wished I had come here first so I could have eaten my way through all their vegan options.

We started with the vietnamese fresh rolls, which were so light and perfect! Then we had the Laab Gai and the Carrot Coconut Curry and lost our minds. The Laab Gai was great but the curry was the absolute star - it was so creamy and tasty and I seriously wanted like 5 more bowls.

We also got the jamaica margs, which were beautiful to look at and even better to drink 😊

The presentation is great and the rooftop seating is perfect for a cozy last night in SMA (they have three floors - so you can choose to sit inside if you'd like as well!). They have a totally different breakfast/brunch menu I didn't get to try, so I’ll be back for that!

Pros: Incredibly friendly service, The best curry we've ever had, Rooftop views!

When we went there was only one curry they said was vegetarian (the rest presumably had fish sauce) and it was truly terrible. The “burnt broccoli” was tasty, but the veg dumplings were not. Such a letdown!

Would Go Again

Our personal experience was good here. Service was great, and atmosphere was lovely. Ask to be seated all the way on the roof top. Curries were especially good. Some in our group were not as pleased (beef brisket for the meat eaters was not a hit) but we were happy with our food.

Okayish Asian-"inspired" dishes

This review is based on evening menu, which contained noodle and curry dishes - none of which stood out as particularly great (despite glowing reviews here). We went with group of 8, so numerous dishes were tried. Don't bother with the vegan dumplings, which were small and unsatisfactory. The noodle dishes were small, and were lacking in terms of taste, texture, and filling. Curry was better.

Pros: Several options to chose from, Atmosphere of restaurant, especially on roof

Cons: Food was a letdown, unfortunately.

Only let me do 4 stars

Inside cafe is a 5/5. BEST vegan dumplings I’ve ever had. Not a fully vegan restaurant but the best dinner we’ve had all month in SMA. Try the green curry or mushroom ramen, you won’t be let down

Cocktail bar and asian food

If you are tired of Mexican food, this is the perfect terrace for you to enjoy the amazing view and indulge in vegan Curry and noodles.

Friendly service, easy vegan modifications

Great ambiance on the 2nd and story patio. Menu clearly lists all the items that can be made vegan. And staff were knowledgeable about vegan requirements and options. Great lunch spot!

Smashing

We ate here 4 times in 5 days. 😅 Hands down our favorite restaurant while visiting SMA. “The Smash” is delicious. At dinner, the menu is Asian, and you’ll have good options then too. The ramen and the green curry are both tasty.

Vegans: Get Your Butts Here Quick!

Holy smokes. I came here twice in one day and I was absolutely floored both times. In the morning I had El Smash and it was so delicious and filling (get it with the potatoes). The dinner menu was asian-themed and it offered rice dishes, ramens, and curries. I had the shitake ramen and it was legit one of the tastiest vegan ramens I've ever had (I'm pretty sure it was GF too).

Plenty of vegan options

I had a few things here but the smash bagel is the best. I was in San Miguel for 2 weeks and ate here everyday. They also have a menu that changes after 4pm and there are vegan options that are Asian style. (Dumplings, spring rolls, roasted carrots etc)

Pros: Plenty of vegan options

Strange vegan food

I ordered there 3 times and the vegan dishes do not come with vegan cheese/cream, they just remove them. The food composition is a bit weird.

Amazing

I went for breakfast on a Sunday, which for my surprise is a Chilaquiles day so they don't have the regular menu dishes, they offer unlimited coffee, fruit and juice and your choice of chilaquiles for $185 pesos. In the menu they had vegan chilaquiles which were amazing, Chilaquiles is tortilla with tomato sauce. and it also included some veggies, lots of avocado and beans. It was delicious and the coffee is great,

Pros: Vegan options, Great coffee with vegetable milks, Big plates, lots of food.
