Great Thai Food with Friendly Staff and Vegan Options - Edit

We really enjoyed visiting this restaurant. The staff was very kind and genuine. The price was reasonable. And the food delicious.

The staff advised there was likely fish sauce in the Pad Thai but the curry or stir fry would be vegan. They cannot substitute the cream in the Thai tea.

This was some of the best Thai curry we've ever had! It tasted like homemade Thai curry.

We ordered two curries while we were there and ordered 2 to go. The cook came out and greeted us. She was probably the kindest, most genuine person we've had the pleasure to meet.

Each was served with either sticky rice (our preference) or steamed rice

Green Curry (stir fry style): Really great and creamy green curry.

Red Curry (stir fry style) : Creamy and delicious red curry. Slightly less hot than the green curry.

Sweet tea: Delicious sweet tea. It was very sweet. It tasted similar to Chicken Express' sweet tea.

Panang Curry (stir fry style) : A bit less spicy with more complex flavors than either the green or red curry. Reminiscent of red curry.

Masaman Curry (stir fry style) : This tasted to us as a bit of a hybrid between Thai and Indian curry. It was not spicy but had great flavor. We've never had this curry before and were pleasantly surprised.

All of the curries were full of flavor. The staff advised the Masaman and Panang curry are the favorites. They were our favorites as well.

Pros: Friendly and genuine staff , Delicious vegan options in a smaller city, $8 / plate (lunch on a weekday)

Cons: Not 100% vegan , No subsitute dairy for the Thai tea

little gem - Edit

This place was not impressive from the outside, but food and service was awesome! They were extremely accommodating when we told them we are a vegan family. Gave us great ideas and suggestions. The red curry with tofu was one of the best dishes we have had in a long time. Everything we tried was great. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Almost all the dishes could be made no meat or wit
