Wow, so many vegan options, I had a hard time choosing just one. So I had the vegan sampler platter. Excellent it came with 3 sauces, and a side salad. Could feed 2 people if you are a small eater like myself.

So many vegan appetizers! - Edit
This was a lovely place for dinner on a weekday. The service was fast and the restaurant is clean and comfortable. I ordered the vegan appetizer sampler plate, the ginger tea, and the mixed vegetables with rice (can’t remember what it was called on the menu). I filled. Up on the appetizers and ended up taking the entree home to eat for lunch the next night. Enough vegan options to visit again.

Easy and good take out - Edit
I had the vegan vegetable delight. Which I ordered for take out. Food was fast and good. They have a vegan section in their take out ordering which made it easy to see what was available.

Vegan option near ball park - Edit
I'm visiting from out of town and wanted to find a vegan option near Petco park before a Padres game. I did not want a veggie dog. I stepped in and I figured it would be pricy based on the decor but it was very reasonable. They have a vegan section in the pack of the menu. The veggie tempura was not bad but was much heavier than I have eaten in a while since it was deep fried. At first I thought the tofu pad Thai was going to be a bust, but after it cooled a bit the flavor really came out and it was delicious.

Fab spot - Edit
So happy we found Sab Kai Thai Kitchen while wandering around the gaslamp quarter. The staff were all great, service was very fast and they constantly refilled our drinks. The menu is a good size, lots of options without being worryingly big. They have a clearly labeled vegan section with starters, mains and desserts. We got the assorted vegan sampler with the spring rolls and satay chicken being our stand out favourites. My boyfriend isn't vegan but was thoroughly impressed. The main course portions were huge and we could have happily shared one!

Delicious vegan options in a separate menu - Edit
This Thai restaurant in the very city center is convenient since it offers a separate vegan menu with many choices. I took the vegan mock-chicken with satay sauce and it was amazing (both the sauce and the mock-chicken). Their vegan pad thai was also very good. Portions were fair. The staff was friendly and helpful and the service was quick. Prices are a bit high but it's quality food, like in Thailand.
Read morePros: various vegan options clearly labelled, very good food, friendly staff

Delicious! - Edit
I thought this place had some of the best Thai food I have had in a very long time. It could have been a little spicier but I did request medium and not hot. Tofu and soy "chicken" options for all dishes. Soy chicken was on it!! Clearly marked vegan foods.

Not good; Smokey - Edit
I had the Pad Se Ew and veggie potstickers, both vegan. While I really appreciated that the menu clearly marked which items were vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free, unfortunately the food was just not good. The potstickers were okay but mushy, and the Pad Se Ew had an off flavor, the broccoli was undercooked, and it was just not appetizing. Plus the whole place smelled strongly like cigarette smoke, as though someone were smoking in the restaurant itself. It made me nauseous.
Read morePros: Clearly marked vegan options, Many vegan options
Cons: Food was not good, Smelled strongly of cigarette smoke

Not Funny - Edit
I was about to go here till I saw a facebook post, by them, implying it would be funny to slip dairy to a vegan. No thank you. I'll eat elsewhere.

Good vegan menu, eh Thai - Edit
The menu was very clearly labeled which is always nice. I got the red curry and it was good but not awesome. Needed more spices. A little boring. Def a good place for vegan food though! Also worth noting, the inside vibes/decorations are really nice. Much nicer than the outside portrays.
