This branch opened in downtown Los Angeles in 2015, and offers the same, extensive menu of vegan Thai favorites along with casual American fare: pancakes, burritos, Thai noodles and curries, wraps and burgers. For dessert there are cakes and cookies. Small and casual, park on street in front. Open Mon-Sat 9:00am-5:00pm.

Unsatisfying - Edit
I ordered pad thai and asked for spicy but instead it was sweet. The tofu was overcooked and tasted like cardboard and the noodles were very dry.

lunch - Edit
This place is so delicious!! From the grilled garlic chicken burger to the miso soup and Thai tea, yum!
The garlic fries are better then any I've tasted!! Also had the veggie noodles and for dessert the tiramisu and carrot cake , all of it was finger licking good! The customer service from the employees however was awful, rude and cold , no smile or anything. But the food no complaints
Pros: outside /inside seating, great variety of desserts
Cons: bad service , rude waitress

Amazing! - Edit
Great food, amazing selection, some was even quite original. It's a good thing the restaurant we originally wanted to go to wasn't open (:
The dishes were HUGE. We really couldn't finish and had to pack it to go.
Big pictures on the walls presented some of the dishes, allowing you to understand what some of the options are. Though they don't show how big the dishes are.
Pros: Great food!, Good prices, Pictures of the actual dishes on the wall

Love it - Edit
I love the yum woon sen and fried chicken sandwich. The yum woon sen is so light and fresh. We also ordered the fish sandwich but I think the fried chicken is way better than the fish. We were stuffed with these 3 dishes. Prices are very reasonable. We walked from downtown to get to this spot and thought it was a strange neighborhood.
Pros: Good value

Great lunch to go ^.^ - Edit
I am located in Downtown Los Angeles and was hankering something delicious and fast. I looked up the Vegan joint, their great reviews, and headed on over. The place is in the fashion district, quite small, and quite charming. I ordered the yellow curry and seitan wrap for my roomie and I, to go, and wash super happy with my order. It traveled well and was very delicious. I will visit again and often.
Pros: Yummy, Affordable, Quick

Excellent Food and Service - Edit
I tried the black bean burger, garlic burger, French fries, and the hot drum sticks with a friend. The stick were chewy but still delicious with the ranch yhe comes with it. Best thing was the black bean burger that wasnt to big and had plenty of veggies. The meal was so good my friend decided to go vegan. :)
Pros: creative delicious healthy vegan food for a good p
Cons: wish the nutrition info was available: /

A little gem in downtown - Edit
It's not a place one would expect to see a vegan restaurant, but it's here in downtown tucked amongst clothes shops and warehouses. Stopped in for lunch, and here's my Vegan Joint downtown locations review.
The place appears small from the outside, but once you walk in you'll see plenty of tables for seating. It's pretty basic and casual; however the menu is just as extensive as the other Vegan Joint locations.
We got a black bean burger (comes with side of fries) and an order of fresh rolls. Both yummy. The quality is just as good as its other locations.
Truly a gem to have in downtown.
Pros: food was good, service friendly

Nice Vegan Joint in DTLA - Edit
I was glad to see that a new Vegan restaurant had opened in Downtown. It seems like there aren't very many of them here. I walked about a mile to get to the place. It is a small cozy place with about eight or nine tables. The staff was friendly and helpful.
They recommended the "Chicken" sandwich, the pumpkin curry, and the pineapple curry. I decided to go ahead and try the pumpkin curry.
It came out pretty quickly. They brought out a serving of brown rice and then a bowl of the pumpkin curry. They also brought out a small tray of condiments. One of the condiments was described as a red sauce they make each day, and it contains various things including garlic and tomatoes.
The curry was very tasty. I rather liked it actually. However, when I added some of the red sauce, it became even better. I thought the sauce would be hot, but it wasn't really.
All in all, I definitely think I'll be going back to try some of the other items on the menu.
Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, In downtown
Cons: In downtown

Cozy Little Place- Great Food - Edit
Very clean little cafe, friendly service, they have the same great menu as their other locations. The pumpkin curry is my favorite. I had the omelette this time, and my only complaint is that two slabs of cheese were added after it was cooked,and were not melted at all. I suggest shredding and cooking with the cheese inside to melt it. Excellent deserts- Lemon cake was amazing.
Pros: Great Food , Healthy Choices, Friendly service
Cons: Parking is a challenge
