Little kitchen cooking Thai vegan dishes like pan-fried noodles, pad thai, fried rice, soups, and curries. Food is served in to-go ware, and most dishes are offered with vegetables, tofu, and optional soy meat add-on. Quick service style where you order at the window-counter, take a number, and wait to be called when your food is ready. Shop formerly operated as Thai Teak then added this eatery in 2011. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-10:00pm.

Fresh - Edit
Very fresh and great tasting food. Generous portion sizes. I wish the veggie rolls had little less lettuce and more of other veggies though.

Best Vegan Thai Curry! - Edit
It’s in a vegan food court with the vegan sushi place, curries about the same price as a fancy sushi roll so I had a green curry with a side of white rice. Fast service and full of variety - not only the usual carrots, broccoli, tofu, zucchini, and Thai basil, but also chunks of acorn squash and Japanese eggplant. Menu is very clear about what is gluten free and I felt as great as it tasted.
Read morePros: Vegan, Gluten free, Variety of veggies

delicious, affordable, cute - Edit
We enjoyed eating at Thai Vegan, it's such a cute little place and the lady was so friendly. I had the tofu fried rice and my friend ate the thai curry with rice. Big and filling portions, also the Thai iced tea with soy milk was so yummy! My rice was just a bit dry and I couldn't put sauce because it was too hot for me. Also I think the food was reasonable priced! It bothered me that they use takeaway stuff even if you're eating there, that's not very eco friendly.

Not much flavor - Edit
We only tried the pad say ew, veggie soup, and tofu satay. The pad say ew was huge but mostly just greasy noodles- little tofu and veg added and not much flavor. The veggie soup had lots of veggies and was okay, not great flavor- just mildly salty. The tofu satay had amazing texture, but the peanut sauce tasted rather perfumy/floral.
Read moreThey have outdoor seating, but it is not clean, no ambiance (parking lot), and low tables, so not a great place to dine outside
Pros: Excellent tofu texture
Cons: Not great flavor , Outdoor dining not nice

Agradável jantar em restaurante tailandes em Santa Monica - Edit
O Thai Vegan fica em uma área muito agradável de Santa Monica e bem próximo à praia.
Read moreSão variadas as opções no menu e os preços são convidativos considerando a região.
Meu jantar foi o "prato do dia", Spicy Udon.
Realmente spicy, mas gostoso.
O restaurante fica colado em outro vegano, o Narita Suhi. Vale muito à pena conhecer os dois, se você tiver tempo.

Great food, terrible seating, hot af inside. - Edit
Love the food here and the service is lovely. Unfortunately it’s too hot inside to sit there and the seating outside is uncomfortable and at annoying height. You have to fold your body in half to get low enough so you don’t spill half your plastic spoon full on the way to your mouth.

Fresh and yummy and affordable - Edit
This place was perfect after some time spent walking around Santa Monica area - fresh and satisfying. The green curry had this super creamy squash in it and plenty of other veggies which were perfectly cooked. Dumplings had mushroom in them which was a nice touch. Not the most flavor PACKED Thai food but still super yummy and fresh and good portions for the price.

Not that authentic - Edit
If you had really nice Thai food before you won’t be happy with the food they cook. The quality of the produce they use is in my opinion not good, the broccoli in the green curry tasted like frozen broccoli tastes when cooked. The salt in the som tam reminded me of msg. They didn’t add fresh chili, just a paste that wasn’t homemade, also just in my opinion according to my taste buds and I like high quality food.
Read morePros: Vegan Thai , Lots of options
Cons: Too pricey for the quality of food, Broccoli was frozen not fresh

Reasonably-priced vegan Thai food with large portions! - Edit
Hubby and I dined here for lunch and ordered the Spicy Thai Roll for an appetizer and the Vegetable Fried Rice to share. We also ordered an item from the conveniently colocated Narita Vegan Sushi. See that restaurant for review.
Read moreThe Spicy Thai Roll was definitely the winner between these two items. It was freshly prepared, light, and satisfying. It was also deceptively filling. The accompanying peanut sauce was great, although the spicy green sauce was the winner. I'd never had anything like the green sauce before, but It was also quite light and refreshing, while also packing a slow-building heat. It wasn't blast-your-head-off hot, but it had a nice burn that accented the roll perfectly.
The Vegetable Fried Rice was nothing to write home about. It was a HUGE portion, which was probably the best thing about it. It was a standard fried rice with some vegetables and tofu. I probably wouldn't order this again, but it was acceptable for what it was. Again, nothing wrong with it, but not anything memorable, either.
I would definitely visit this location again to try items from both this restaurant and Narita Vegan Sushi. Final note, the only water available is bottled.

Good taste, big portions, cheap price 👌 - Edit
Not really a restaurant, more of a take away place that has sone seats available.
Read moreFood was good, big portions, good flavors, lots of veggies.
The peanut sauce and chickn appetizer was great, the pad thai was slighlty sweet, the mind spicy noodle were good - but more spicy than expected.
Pleasant food, good prices - I would go again, but wouldn't travel far for it.

ok, not spectacular - Edit
i tried the pineapple fried rice and ordered it with extra chick‘n.
Read moreplenty of different fresh veggies and a good amount of chick‘n. would have loved a little more pineapple.
huge portion! good value especially for this busy area!
unfortunately, there was a lack of spice. the dish tasted rather bland, which is very uncommon for thai food. while this was fine at the beginning it got a little boring after a few bites.
