My Thai Vegan Cafe - Edit
Arrived in Boston quite late and this was one of the only vegan places still open. I’d noted the very mixed reviews but having had nothing to eat all day went with an order from My Thai. I had the Cashew Nut Chick’n - bland, did not like the faux chick’n which was a weird texture and thin sliced, and it also came with loads of bell peppers in despite letting them know to leave these out. I also got the chick’n fingers - can only concur with the other reviews that mention super greasiness, I couldn’t eat more than two without feeling queasy and the oil tasted old. The sauce they came with, no idea what it was as it doesn’t say on the menu, was not great either and appeared almost watered down. The menu is huge but would seem there are issues with food quality that many people have mentioned here and on Google, now having tried it myself I’d agree with them.

Nice food - Edit
Generally we liked it, the food was tasty (but watch out: spicy means SPICYYY).
Read moreBut it wasn't very clean... I don't know about the kitchen, but the tables weren't even wiped. When we got there it was very busy, perhaps that's part of it.

Unsafe handling of food - Edit
They used to be good. Now they do not care at all about customers safety and health

Pros: BEWARE OF THIS PLACE, They do not care about allergies warnings, They give you what you're allergic to, without
Cons: telling you.They are very unsafe in handling food, They are very rude when you complain about it, Look at their bad reviews on Google. They suck

Small Portions - Edit
Everything was amazing. First time I ever had vegan duck before. The only drawback is the portion sizes.

Haven’t been able to find Vegan Pad See Ew, which was one of my favorites before going vegan. Perfect! Super reasonably priced! Super friendly staff.

Typical asian restaurant - Edit
I liked the food and service! Prices are fair and portions are rather big. The restaurant itself is a bit wracked because old and in chinatown but thus authentic😉

Awesome as always - Edit
I came here with some regularity before the pandemic but I'm still avoiding crowded indoor settings so I didn't have a good time to come back until today.
Read moreYes, there is a smoke smell in the SHARED stairwell to go upstairs. However, once you enter the restaurant everything is very clean. They have a ton of options and then a $11.50 lunch special which I had today for the first time! I got the mango curry lunch special.
The food is excellent, huge portions even for the lunch menu, and the staff are always really nice and helpful. They may leave you to your own devices more than other places, but it's not out of rudeness. I have loved everything I've had over the years - several different types of curries, noodle dishes, you name it. Their bubble tea and dessert are great too though I didn't have any today.
Pros: Fully vegan , Great prices for Boston

1 star - Edit
I can’t even give it 2 stars for being vegan… Maybe I’m so pissed because the reviews and pictures are fantastic, and in stark contrast to the bland, meager portions my partner and I were dished. Even the water was crap. The whole place was dirty and the cigarette stanking disgusting stairwell leading up should’ve been a red flag. I returned my tea cup, which had a brown film. The waitstaff was friendly, although they never checked back after serving the food. Appetizers and mains were served simultaneously and within 5 minutes of ordering, certainly not made to order and not hot. Not cheap either.

I wish it wasn’t the case, but just because something’s called “vegan” doesn’t make it good.

Tofu and vegetables is delicious - Edit
There are so many dishes to choose from and out of the tofu dishes, our server recommended the tofu and vegetables. The sauce was delicious (sweet but not too sweet), I would definitely go back for that dish.

Yummy - Edit
What a gem! A very extensive menu. We went on a Thursday night around 6pm and they were BUSY. Unsure if that’s normal but it took a bit for everything (menus/ordering/food/bill). I will def go back to try more yummy vegan dishes.

Fully vegan, authentic Thai place - Edit
This is a very authentic Thai place in Chinatown, the type that you would not expect to be vegan. Good food, very (too big) menu. It’s probably a good idea to order common dishes to make sure you get fresh ingredients and they actually have them.
Read morePros: Very authentic, Many options, Decent food
Cons: Many things on the menu they don’t have

Meh - Edit
Underwhelming. Food and ambiance wasn’t anything exciting. Got the ginger chicken which was listed as “moderately spicy” (2/3 on their spicy scale) and it wasn’t spicy AT ALL (unless you count ginger slices as spicy lol). Beef in the noodles was tasteless. It’s kinda awkwardly quiet without any music playing.

Lovely meal - Edit
I went for 12pm and got the lunch deal - a main meal, 2 dumplings and a spicy soup for $11.50. It was all delicious (I had the mango curry) and I would definitely go back again.

So much food, just massive portion sizes. Milk tea is always so fresh and so good. They’re even on Uber eats! My Thai will put up a great fight. Mmm yummy.

It's up to you! - Edit
DISCLAIMER: Because the menu is so varied, my review may be biased as I only tried 1 starter ("chicken" fingers) and 2 main courses (Pineapple fried rice and "Beef" with broccoli).
Read moreIt is a different restaurant that at first glance can impress you with its particular interior decoration full of plants, it looks like a restaurant in the middle of a garden on the third floor (it says second but you have to climb several stairs). The service is so-so and the atmosphere is not as inviting as other restaurants I've been to. The menu is huge and very well explained, portion sizes are large, however the food is not for all types of people as some dishes are greasy and plain. If I had no other choice for food, I would come back here.
Pros: Well explained menu, Lots of options, Portions size
Cons: Service, Greasy food

Needs improvement - Edit
I pulled up here based off of proximity to my hotel and being highly reviewed. The food was ok. We ordered the spring rolls, the dumplings, and pumpkin curry. The spring rolls were probably the worst I’ve ever had with the peanut sauce being way too soupy for my liking. The dumplings were artery-clogging greasy. You could press your fork to them and watch the grease surface. The pumpkin curry, on the other hand, was delicious! It came in a pumpkin and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed.
Read moreSuper extensive menu but I wouldn’t be hard-pressed to visit this place if in the area.

Amazing Thai food! - Edit
Whenever I have a bad day and want to treat myself I order from this restaurant. Their “tofu cigars” (#6) always hit the spot and my favorite is the Rad Nar Noodles Plus (#69). This place will forever have my heart 🫶🏼

This place is the best!! - Edit
I LOVE this restaurant. Can’t say enough good things about them. Food is always very fresh, and cooked perfectly. They have 100 options to choose from, so you could eat here everyday and not get bored. The lunch specials are super cheap and portions are massive. If the wouldn’t wasn’t so delicious I’d have enough leftovers for another meal every time. 10/10 recommend!

food is ok - Edit
I was really excited to try an all vegan chinese resturant! I am so greatful that this was in boston however the food was a little bland. In addition, it made me upset that they are using terms like “duck” and “veal” I don’t want to eat any mock-ups of these animals and just seeing the words on the menu rubbed me the wrong way😒

I wish it was better - Edit
I’m happy this place exists but I was not impressed. And I’ll let you know that it’s very difficult for me to give less than 4 stars to an all vegan restaurant. They could use to reinvent the menu and flavors. The summer rolls and peanut sauce were flavorless.
