Tasty food but not a lot of vegan options

They have a lot of really good looking food but most of it isn’t vegan because of fish sauce. They don’t feel compelled to modify it for you.

Pros: Some vegan options , Sticky rice

Cons: Many things that could easily be v aren’t , Ask before you buy

Hit or miss

Some things you'd expect to be vegan on their menu are not, but I'm grateful that this was clearly communicated by them.

My curry was shockingly devoid of flavor and bland. My wife's tofu pad thai was quite good, though a little sweet.

DELICIOUS

I really appreciate their clear labeling on the menu which items are vegan. It takes all the uncomfortable anxiety out of having to ask a million questions just to see if a vegetarian dish is accidentally vegan.

Secondly the food is delicious. Did I mention that already? Well it is. I go here on a regular basis when I don't feel like cooking. I usually order the prik king curry and pad Thai. All vegan curries start at medium heat which isn't too spicy at all.

Third and most important, come well before closing. If you're ordering anywhere near when they close they will remind you many times of when they are closing. Not as big of a deal anymore now that it's take out only, but you have been warned.

P.S. The vegetarian spring rolls are vegan, however they are cooked in the same oil as animal products. However when ordering them for take out, they vent the container so they don't get soggy on their way back to your house.

Pros: Delicious, Clear vegan labels, Knowledgeable staff on veganism

Cons: Pricy

We went two days in a row!

The vegan Pad Thai was awesome. Yellow curry wasn’t creamy enough for my taste but still very good and filling. Portions are huge and this was the perfect spot for us to go after long days of snorkeling and hiking. Our friends live on the island and have been trouble finding Thai or Vietnamese food they like. They’re not vegans but this is for sure their new spot!

Pros: Whole section of vegan curries/ option , Staff is knowledgeable , Big portions/ very casual atmosphere

Cons: Cold in the restaurant except back corner

Tasty thai

Located just off the intersection of hamakua and kailua, this makes a convenient lunch if you happen to be taking The Bus to Kailua or Laikani beaches. The vegetarian section specifically refers to the curries as vegan, which is comforting when the "vegetable" section of your average thai restaurant is probably not vegetarian due to seafood paste. Curries come Medium, Spicy, and Thai Spicy. Medium is not mild, with a little kick. Spicy is a nice moderate level, leaving,an afterglow in my mouth and clearing my sinuses, but without raising a sweat. Red curry was tasty with lots of veggies. Summer roll, sandwiches, vegan pad thai, etc also available. Entrees are $9-$15.
