Serves meat, vegan options available. Re-opened Apr 2013 after renovations. Will make dishes vegan upon request - let them know. Open Mon-Fri 11:30am-2:00pm, Mon-Sat 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Been here several times. Originally was told curry was vegan but later learned had shrimp paste... Not sure if they changed ingridents later but was upset. Make sure to have waiter double check with kitchen staff as there is confusion about what is truly vegan.
Online ordering option gave a discount. Did not say which options could be made vegan easily though, but we just added “vegan” as ordering note. 2/3 dishes were very good but the pad Thai was bland. In a pinch we are happy to eat here but would not seek this place out. Recommend coconut milk based dishes.
was a little wary about restaurants here not completely comprehending 'vegetarian' but I was asked what type of veggie I was (vegan, lacto-ovo, etc)! I felt they really understood and wouldn't try something like sneaking some oyster sauce into my pad thai. overall, I will go back because I felt comfortable. the food was good, don't get me wrong, but the customer service is what shined through.
The pad thai was amazing, the best I've ever had, equal to Baan Wasana's vegan pad thai in Vancouver. The lunch combo was so cheap for such high quality! The spring rolls and soup that come with their regular lunch combos are vegan already, and they will make anything else on the menu vegan. Also, they know what is and is not vegan already, and how to make everything vegan that can be, so there is no discusion required which makes the dining experience less stressful. I would highly recommend taking non-vegan family and friends here when in Nanaimo.

Great lunch - Edit
We came for lunch and the entire lunch combo menu can be made vegan with either extra veggies or tofu. The service was great!
