Just ok

I love Thai food, and I get lots of great vegan Thai food in Los Angeles, with fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. Compared to that, this was quite disappointing. Maybe I was there on abad day.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Used a machine to order, like McDonalds, Food seemed ‘heavy’, not light, fresh, Restaurant could be cleaner

The Thai restaurant in the town

If you’re into Thai food, you should definitely consider this place! Might be crowded and many times full in the peak hours so on those times a reservation is recommended.

Amazing Thai food

Everything was delicious and flavourful (though the fried chickpea tofu could have a bit more, but the sauce balanced it). Absolute favourite was vegan pork belly, the flavour and texture was amazing

Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Large portions

Cons: Ordering is a bit clunky

The real deal ❤️

Amazing menu with a variety of thai food and a little burmese and vietnamese sprinkled in. Having spent 6 months in bangkok I can assure the food here is authentic yet has an interesting modern twist. Great service and big portion size so be careful not to order too much :-)

Interesting flavors and cozy atmosphere

Very tasty food, but not the greatest service perhaps.

The food was average, service was arrogant and slow.

I was so disapointed after waited so long to get here. The waitress showed us our table and after that we waited for 15 minutes for her to clean it (finally we had to ask her to do it). Then we waited to get our order done - the waitress just ignored us. The food was average. My mum really liked her noodles, but my portion (rice, veggies, meat substitution) was tasteless. The place is shabby, menu books are dirty. There’s nothing why I would go back.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Shabby place

The loveliest eatery in Helsinki

I love their both comforting (Thai classics) and experimental menu (new items often, daily specials). Their new vegan porkbelly is to die for. The dishes remind me of home. I love being able to eat the South-East/East Asian dishes from my childhood that I've craved since becoming vegan. The owner and staff are also superfriendly!

Food got me sick :(

An unpopular opinion when I read all the reviews, but I really wouldn’t recommend this place. The food is mostly based around meatsubtitutes and not very authentic. It is really greasy and unhealthy and I got major stomach issues (as did my friend). Not a succes.

Pros: Prices

Cons: The food

Nice place and good vegan food

I liked the food, their values and the interior of the restaurant. I was just little bit disappointed that there wasn't any service but instead you ordered the food from a machine.

Pros: Good food, Reasonable pricing, Their values are good

Cons: No serving

Best Thai place I've been

Had heard a lot of good things about this place so wanted to test it out and I have to say that it was the best Thai food I've had. Also the service was quick and the portion size price ratio was excellent.

Full of taste

Sometimes they say that, when making broths vegan, they are not so full of taste anymore.
This place proves them wrong, everything is full of deliciousness, there are many different tastes in one portion.
It is run by local Thai people, the staff is very friendly, food comes fast, portions are big. You can get some free beverages there, for example coffee. I did not understand if this is specific to this particular café or to Finland in general.
I have never been to Thailand so I could not tell how authentic is the food, but it was very tasty nevertheless.

Pros: friendly staff, coffee for free, menus also in english

Cons: place is a bit small

Ok Dinner (a bit disappointed)

We liked the Menu and tried some dishes. The food was ok, but they could use more spices und the food should be hot while serving.

Hugely disappointing

Went there with a lot of expectations for some good Thai food only to be let down. The food was tasteless and barely had any flavor. Ordered the Pad Thai and this was the most bland Pad Thai I've ever eaten. Extremely disappointed and will not recommend this place.

Casual dining. Great Tasting Food.

We wouldn't have paid any notice to this place if we had just been passing as it doesn't look particularly inviting from the pavement but that is certainly no reflection of the food, which is very tasty indeed.

The inside is like a cafe/ sitting room so if fine dining is what you're after than this isn't the place for you but if, like us, you're happy to eat great food in a casual setting then this is a great place to head to.

The staff were super friendly too 🙂

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Great food, Casual ambiance

A huge disappointment

Literally all of my Helsinki friends were recommending me Thai Vegan as the best vegan place in town. Well, if that’s the best, then I’m happy I didn’t go to any other places..
The bar is very busy, and there’s not enough service. That’s why it’s better to place an order on the screen near the front and then just wait for the table. Waiting time is extremely long, so it’s even ok to have a walk around Kamppi while waiting for the food. Alternatively one can have some free water or coffee.
I had the aubergine, which was just tasteless and soaked in a watery brine. It had ok texture and the serving was big enough, but it lacked flavor. I had to put an enormous splash of hoisin sauce to make it edible. Maybe it’s just the Thai food prepared in a way that palatable for Finns, but it’s far from the authentic Thai cuisine.

Vegan heaven

Awesome menu, all vegan. Reasonable prices, generous serves. Place is small but cozy, gets busy. Owner is regularly around, serving, cooking & making sure everything is ticking over nicely. Food is fresh & flavoursome. Default spice level is quite mild, though you can of course ask for extra chili, and there is a great selection of condiments. Personal favourites are the green curry (comes with rice as a side) and pad Thai.

Best staff & best atmosphere in the town

The food alone ranges between 3 and 5 ⭐ s, but the atmosphere and the staff are both 6/5, so it rounds out to 5 stars! This is the restaurant i visit most frequently in helsinki.
