    Loved this place! Had the Tom Yum soup and the yellow curry with tofu lunch special and the tempura appetizer. All dishes were flavorful and reasonably priced. Only gripe is I would’ve liked more of the yellow curry and the potato to be cooked soft.

    This place was amazing! There was huge variety here with all the classic Thai dishes done as vegan options. The vegan shrimp was particularly good. Very good price also! We had dessert, drinks, and three main courses for our party. Left full and happy. This place deserves all the good reviews it gets.

    I stopped to eat here as it was decently close to the airport. My server was very accommodating to me as I’m probably not the most ideal customer. I might be crying ;) as I’m leaving my dog for a month for the first time, millennial drama, you know- it’s like essentially leaving my child. So my eye liner and mascara is everywhere and I’m absent minded, but my server is a Saint, thank you for dealing with me. I had the Tom Ka Kai- it was good a little salty. I may be used to Tom Ka Kai having a little bit more of a coconut taste- which is my own preference. I still recommend trying it if you love Tom Ka Kai. I ordered pineapple fried rice to go and wow, it looks delicious. For desert I ordered sweet rice with mango- you can never go wrong. If you’re vegan I’d definitely support this place. The inside is super comfortable and unique.

    I could not stop thanking the staff for the food. Everything is amazing. Almost too many choices, but you'll find something. Soy shrimp for those who miss shrimp but don't want to compromise for a night!

    Found the spot from Google. Had to visit as it was rated high with good reviews. It is a hidden gem! Loved it. Ordered tofu satay for appetizer ( loved the sauce), Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, spicy noodles. All were very 😋. We also got lychees and rambutan..good fruit desserts ( could have avoided it). It was just those fruits in sugar syrup Otherwise a great place for vegeterian and vegan! Highly recommend

    We love this place!! Tried it on a whim one time and we've been coming back since. So so so so yummy, such a fun atmosphere, and oddly attentive staff. We've loved everything we've tried so far. My favourite part is that despite being really satisfying, the food doesn't leave you feeling all heavy and greasy and gross. Definitely would recommend!

    My family went here for lunch recently and found the food amazing. I had the spicy noodles with "beef" and really loved it, so flavorful and pleasing to the eyes. My daughter enjoyed her curry, I was surprised she let me try it. The atmosphere was very pleasant which put the icing on the cake as it were. Highly recommend this restaurant

    The Thai food and the service were exceptional. The only complaint we had was sitting close to the door and it was a little chilly when people walked in and out. The atmosphere overall was nice.

    The service is great and friendly. The green curry is so good, spicy level 4 has enough kick for me. Pod Thai is pretty okay, I think it would be good to use less sauce something like a tamarind.

    Excellent food, very good service. Good vegan menu choices and servings are the right portions. Recommended and keep coming back. Had the red curry and spicy eggplant with caramelized tofu.

    SOOOO many options! I ordered a Thai tea and it was perfect! Usually vegan Thai teas are kinda watery, but this one was amazing! I got the yellow curry with tofu and it had the perfect portion of veggies to go along with the tofu. The golden tofu appetizer was a win for everyone at the table, too! Don't skip this place!

    Placed a takeout order for the red curry and the spicy noodles, both with soy chicken. Holy moly that food was absolutely amazing. Both dishes came carefully packaged so the sauces didn't mix with the salad. A lot of times it's hard to find authentic flavors at vegan restaurants but this place did an incredible job. Highly recommend vegans and non vegans check this place out.

    First time at a vegan place. Since it's Lent, I couldn't eat meat and I hate seafood, so decided to try this place. I Had the padthai to compare it to regular ones. It was awesome. The flavors were great and I even enjoyed the soy chicken. The spring roll was a little odd, to me, but not bad. I would definitely come back here again and try other meals.

    What a great experience I had here. Excellent food and service. Don’t let this vegan restaurant fool you with its imitation meats. They’re super realistic and hard to differentiate from the real thing. The crispy chicken was phenomenal and the green curry with purple rice in the shape of a heart was a nice touch. I hope to come back sometime and try more things here 🍛🍛🍛

    A true hidden gem, I'm not vegan and I love this place. The tofu chicken texture is better than real chicken. The fried spring rolls and yellow curry with tofu chicken are my favorite. Very nice/classy inside and usually 15ish min wait for pick up orders.

    Highly recommend the Tom Ka soup, it really hit the spot with a good level of spice and some nice veggies! The pad thai was also delicious.

  • 5/5 Jen & Gary C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food, staff and atmosphere were everything we could have hoped for. We are extremely sensitive to spice and when we asked for no spice… guess what?! No spice! Even our 3 yo enjoyed the delicious food! My only ask is that they bottle and sell their house-made sweet chili sauce. It was amazing!

  • 5/5 Seneca V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and ambience! My favorite is the Pad Thai combo with a close second going to the Yellow Curry with tofu.

  • 3/5 Konrad J. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a cute little place with a lot of charm in a strip mall off Osuna in the NE Heights. We both got the “chicken” larb to go. It was my first experience with larb, and I had looked online at how the dish is usually prepared. Traditionally, and as other Thai restaurants in Albuquerque, larb is usually a ground meat mixture. Thai Vegan’s larb had cuts of soy “meat”, then large chunks of slightly steamed or raw veggies with a bit of lettuce. The description is “S12 - Larb Chicken Salad. $14.95. Selected soy meat tossed in lime juice, chili, red onion, carrot, cilantro, and parched rice on a bed of salad.” I enjoyed the flavors of the lime juice and chili with the fresh vegetables. Our larb did not come with the parched rice, and there were only a very few small pieces of lettuce. The amount of onion was very high. I’m still interested in trying a traditional larb at another Thai restaurant, but wouldn’t get this selection again from Thai Vegan. The restaurant was charming and the service friendly. They also have a consistently high rating, so I’d try Thai Vegan again and select another dish.

    Fresh rolls and yellow curry were excellent. Pad Thai was a little too sweet though. Great service!

    Busy with decorations, almost a fire Hazzard way too much decor. Staffing was nonchalant. Tom yum soup was good.

  • 5/5 Nick W. 3 months ago on Google New
    Thai Vegan is absolutely excellent. You can order almost anything on their menu and it's going to be so good. I'm partial to their pineapple fried rice but their curries and soups are 100. Plus it's so cute inside. Recommended!
