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. March 2025: hours fluctuate so call ahead and let HappyCow know. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-9:00pm.

Exceeded my expectations! - Edit
I knew it was going to be good but it definitely exceeded my expectations. You order at the counter and eat it outside on the patio. The food was delicious! We shared the dumplings, pineapple fried rice and rice paper rolls

Good Thai! - Edit
Been a few years since I visited this place when I was last in California, but felt compelled to leave a review, having just joined HappyCow. They serve delicious food, the staff are absolutely lovely, and the setting is great - what's not to love? Also scores bonus points as my mother was impressed, which is quite a feat as she rarely departs from a (vegan) beige buffet. We both hope to return here, next time we visit CA. Thank you, Thai Vegan!

One of my all-time faves, it’s been here forever and offers a wide range of delicious Thai dishes. The Thai Tea is a must-try.

Tasty and good portions! - Edit
Found this place on Happy Cow after flying from NY to LA, it was close to the airport and we were starving so that's all that mattered haha
Read moreBut the outdoor seating area was super nice (looks like it used to be a parking lot but switched over to a courtyard for the shopping center thanks to covid lol) food was fast and tasty. I got the veggie tofu fried rice with added soy chicken. Boyfriend got the pad thai with added soy chicken. They originally forgot to give me the added chicken and since I was eating right outside and paid an extra 2 bucks for it I went in and asked them and they added a ton! Plus we enjoyed the leftovers in our hotel room later so they gave us a lot to begin with!

Pad Thai! - Edit
The Pad Thai was amazing here! The curry was good, too, but the Pad Thai was so good we wished we'd both ordered it!

Best Thai we've had in a while! - Edit
Place is small and authentic to the level of no kind of design or experience whatsoever. But the food is worth every bite! We tried the masaman curry, pad thai and the green papaya salad. OMG it was delicious.

If you are starving, try hard to find another option as this place is clearly not a place I would recommend.
Read moreCons: Probably the worst service you could ask for , Food is not fancy nor tasty. Nothing exciting!

Best yellow curry I’ve ever had. Pad Thai was pretty good too. The little dumpling things were really good as well, all at an affordable (relatively) price!

Lovely casual place! - Edit
I go here all the time! The pad thai and soy sauce noodles are big and taste great. Also, try the red bean mochi if they have them.

Overpriced low quality food - Edit
Food is ok if you are desperate. There are much better vegan Thai restaurants in LA. Overpriced considering there is no wait service and they serve the food with paper plates and plastic utensils.

Good & cheap - Edit
Good and cheap Thai vegan food. Portions are huge so do not overestimate your hunger! Could be more tasteful / spicy for me, would probably not bother most people.

Cheap and delicious fast Thai! - Edit
Grab and go fast food restaurant with Thai food. The portions are huge and the price is very cheap. It may not be a very comfy to sit (since it is more of an grab and go place) but I can recommend grab the food and take a walk down to the beach. The staff and service was also very good!

I love Thai Vegan. They’re open late and always delicious. It’s one of my favorite spots, but the last two times I’ve been there they’ve sold REAL salmon seasoning.
