Quaint and unusual - Edit
At one end of Beach street, Up the stairs on the second floor.
Read moreFairly down to earth, which really worked for me. Everything on the menu is vegan.
I had a tasty and filling meal for $25 before tax and tip.
I am on holiday in Boston and
I would definitely recommend.
Pros: Wholesome food., Large portions.
Cons: Little tricky to find.

Quick vegan Thai - Edit
We had a great meal here. Don’t let the entrance and stairs, which are very shabby and grubby, put you off ! Go up the stairs and into a very plain dining area. It’s a no-frills place. Everything is vegan, quite a lot of mock-meat but plenty of other dishes as well. Huge portions. Service very quick and to the point. Iced water brought immediately and topped up through the meal. Delicious food. Very good value. Definitely recommend if you want a quick no frills vegan meal. Please note not any good for gluten free options though.

Tasty options - Edit
Surprisingly delicious - they successfully recreated many Thai classics (pad Thai, etc) plant based with no loss of flavor. Chicken fingers were tasty but in retrospect a bit disappointing - only tofu with breading, would love to have seen them try some experiments with mushrooms. Nonetheless very solid spot and large, ambitious menu.

Delicious and massive menu - Edit
So many things to choose from, I wish I could’ve tried more! The pad kee mao was so good, and I’m picky with my drunken noodle. The dumplings were also excellent. Cool interior, too.

Cons: A non-coconut milk for the Thai tea would be greaf

Outrageously tasty food - Edit
Made a point of visiting here while in Boston for the marathon. Everything we tried was really tasty but a special mention needs to be made for the Tamarind duck which was so so good. Highly recommend visiting this place.

Delicious food! - Edit
The food here is incredible and the menu is extensive! The stairwell/building that you have to go through to get there isn't the nicest/cleanest, but the inside of the restaurant itself is nice and the food is so good. I highly recommend it. The service was also great.
Read morePros: Great food, Large menu, Great service
Cons: Hall outside of restaurant itself isn't so clean

Yummy Thai in downtown Boston - Edit
I really like this place and was happy they were open on Christmas! The staircase to get up is a bit sketchy and the service left a bit to be desired but the food is excellent and the menu is expansive.

Amazing all vegan asian cuisine - Edit
Everything was delicious and it's nice knowing everything is vegan. Yellow noodles are like classic chinese lo mein and the spring rolls are to die for! Dumplings are a must try too

Not what I hoped - Edit
Was really hoping this place was good as the menu looked good.
Read moreVery big menu. Ordered 2 apps, leek pancakes and some sort of wonton. both came out warm, but not hot. Taste was decent, but not great. Plates looked like they hadn’t been washed well. Mains were two types of curry. Again, warm but not hot when they came out. Flavorless and lacking in presentation..
My husband got really sick and was throwing up for several hours that night.
The bathroom was an absolute mess…so many stains and half the ceiling was missing?!
Overall we were very disappointed for the amount of money we spent. Would not go again.

Good food and lunch menu is affordable - Edit
We ordered the lunch menu, which comes with a small soup, 2 deep fried dumplings and a main. It should also come with tee, but they forgot to give us our tee. The food is good but a bit cold. I would not recommend the veggie chicken.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan, Lots of options
Cons: Food is cold, Soup was spilled all over

Panoramic view! - Edit
Decent food served quickly, looking good and tasting good. Friendly staff. I most enjoyed the second storey panoramic neighborhood views on this early fall afternoon with the windows open and the restaurant’s many plants swaying.

We had the pineapple rice with shrimp and chikn, the Tom yum soup, spring rolls and the penang burry with beef. We found the pineapple rice a little bland but everything else was delicious!

Not enough spice - Edit
We got some fresh rolls, a Vietnamese coffee and the red curry with mock duck. The curry had 3 chilis next to it, but it wasn’t spicy at all. The fresh rolls were ok, but the sauce was too sweet. The vietnamese coffee came with coconut milk but the coffee cup was so full you couldn’t really add it to the cup. A bit disappointing, but it’s nice to have an option downtown.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
Fully vegan Thai restaurant with an extensive menu. Food was so so good-I got a tofu curry and bubble tea. I went with a couple of friends who were very hesitant about the prospect of no meat (ie: complaining the entire way there because how could a meal possibly taste good without meat?) but by the end of the meal they were raving about how good it was and even came back themselves a couple of days later (that’s how good it was). Staff really friendly, lovely little restaurant.
