good, but expensive - Edit
I ordered something through delivery here. The pad thai was tasty, but there are better options out there. It was a bit too expensive for thai food, though.

Vegan Thai food - Edit
Some of the best vegan Thai food I’ve come across. The green curry is rich and full of flavour, and the drunken noodles are absolutely incredible. Both are dishes I keep coming back for.

Tasty Thai food - Edit
Fully vegan Thai restaurants are few and far between in my neck of the woods, so I was really excited to visit this spot. We had two starters and two mains.
Read moreWe shared the satay skewers (satay hed & tao hoo). There were ttwo mushroom and two tofu skewers. The mushroom ones were really juicy and meaty and had that extra flavour hit. The tofu ones were lovely and spongy. The satay was peanutty and flavoursome, with some heat but not too spicy.
The larb gai pop was a bit hard to share! The chicken pieces maintained a nice crunchy coating despite the dressing, and the meat was not too soft or mushy. The onions and shimeji were lovely and the dressing was sharp and delicious with a nice heat.
For my main, I got pad ma khia muang - stir-fried aubergine with minced pork and basil. It had lovely soft, melty aubergine. The Thai basil was fragrant, and the minced pork added good flavour and texture. The flavours were quite simple, but savoury and delicious.
My partner got the crispy pork (sam moo tip kua prik). There were nice bits of pork which lived up to the crispy name of the dish. The accompanying pork mince gave some flavour and a bit of a different texture. The pork belly wasn't great for him, with a bit of a tough texture and not a lot of flavour. Overall, it was nicely seasoned and spiced but a bit dry for his tastes - it could've done with some sauce (I love drier dishes, so it would have been fine for me).
Overall, we really enjoyed it. The dishes were tasty, service was excellent, and the menu was so tempting.

Delicious authentic vegan Thai - Edit
Food was incredible and so much choice I struggled to decide. I eventually went for the Khoa soi with tofu which was so so good (and something I don’t see too often on menus, and always get really excited when I do), a mango iced tea, and mango sticky rice for dessert. All were insanely good. Staff are also amazing, and the restaurant has such a nice vibe, and a great little courtyard. I’ll definitely be back to try everything else!

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
Lovely atmosphere with a small private outdoor courtyard. The Pad Thai was nice, but the crispy bean curd skin and tofu was missing (perhaps because they’re not gluten free? Though this wasn’t clear from the menu). Would love to visit again to try different dishes🤞🏻

Fantastic, new favourite - Edit
We'll definitely be back to try more from Mali's drool-worthy menu. We had the papaya salad and popcorn chicken to start, then northern yellow curry and nam tok noodle soup.

Very very good Thai food - Edit
Still my favourite vegan thai food. Really varied dishes and strong flavours, and a creative range of meat replacements. I would suggest ordering several different dishes as the portions are fairly small.

Nice Pad Thai - Edit
Friendly staff
Read moreWe tried some small dishes and liked the chive cakes and mushroom and tofu skewers, but especially the Naem Nueng.
The Pad Thai was nice, the dish with fake pork (Sam Moo Tip Kua Prik) was a bit dry and boring.
We were really looking forward to go to this restaurant, but were a bit dissapointed.

Great thai food - Edit
Pad thai is my favourite dish, so whenever I get the chance to order it, I'll order it. The Pad Thai here was really top notch in my opinion. Just delicious. The papaya salad was good too. I'd love to come back and try more dishes.

Lovely Thai Food - Edit
Food and people were utterly lovely. We had the chive cakes and green papaya salad to start and then a stir fry and a curry dish with jasmine rice to share. They also serve Chang beer so it almost felt like being in Thailand! Quite a quirky little place, cosy and charming. Bathrooms were very clean. We had a great time and will definitely go there again.

Too many options to choose! - Edit
Came here on the last night of my trip and was not disappointed. Ordered the mushroom skewers and a red curry fake meat stir fry and it was all delicious. Very flavourful and good portion sizes, with tons of menu options that I want to try if I'm ever back in town.

Amazing - must try - Edit
I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this place sooner. The food is exceptional: innovative, tasty, wholesome, big Thai flavours. The service was very fast. The place seemed exceptionally popular. We ordered a number of dishes and they were all very good.
Read moreThey have a number of dishes which are substituting / mimicking meat and fish dishes: they do that very well
The place has the ambience of a high energy, fast turnover place. The decor and atmosphere isn’t fine dining.
I will return here a few more times, without a doubt.
Update Nov 25: I’ve been back to this place a number of times. The atmosphere varies according to when you go: lunch times are a bit quieter. I am always impressed with the food and the speed of the service. They’ve also been good at accommodating changes in spice levels. A fantastic restaurant that continues to excite me.

underwhelming - Edit
The atmosphere and staff were pleasant, but it wasn't a satisfying meal. The Kao Pad Nuea Kem Tip (stir fried rice with vegan salted beef) was good enough, but the portion was small for the price. The Sam Moo Tip Kua Prik (vegan crispy pork) was so dry and overpriced.
Read moreWe have our favorite Thai spots where we live that are always tasty and filling, so this was an unexpected disappointment. Based on our one meal here, I'm baffled by the glowing reviews.
