Always a great choice - Edit
I've been coming here for years for business, but haven't been to Boston in 3 years so I was very glad they were still open, even more so that the food is still great. I look forward to coming back again!

Best vegan Thai tea! - Edit
I’ve been obsessed with Thai tea since childhood and could never get it quite close enough to the original whenever I found a place that sells veganized Thai tea. This is the closest I’ve had to the real thing and is enough reason to check out this place! They have a plethora of options for veganized Thai food and I only docked a point since one of the Tom kha soups I tried was a little over sweetened but will def be returning to try more menu items! #Veganuary

All my faves, vegan! - Edit
My Thai Vegan 🌱 Café was one of the main reasons I really wanted to go to Boston. Thai 🇹🇭 food is one of my fave foods ever, and a spot to where I can eat ALL THE THINGS, I had to 🤩 The friends I were staying with also wanted to try, so we got a decent about of things.
Read moreWe got fried wontons and spring rolls, both filled with veggies and vegan chicken, Tom Yum Gai, Pad Thai 🍜, and and a special avocado 🥑 medley with yellow curry 🍛 Despite that it was taken out and not dine-in, the quality was still there 😊 Wontons and spring rolls were still crispy and the sauces that came with it were great, the soup 🥣 was enjoyable, and for the Pad Thai, the “shrimp” was an odd texture, but the rest of it was amazing! Peanut 🥜 lovers for sure 😋 The yellow curry was also good, had some with a bit of the tofu that came with it.
It was totally worth getting dinner there tonight and the staff was very nice too 💕 I’ll be back on my next Boston trip!
Pros: A full Thai cuisine menu, and more, Many different vegan protein options

Exactly what I wanted! - Edit
I had never eaten at My Thai Vegan Cafe before, but the reviews were good so I ordered delivery from them. The Pad Kee Mao Noodles Plus (Drunken Noodles) were EXACTLY what I was craving, and exactly the flavors and textures I remember about this dish prepared at other restaurants in my pre-vegan days. I also ordered the Thai Mango Salad and was blown away. Generous serving, lots and lots of mango, and for me the basil really pushed the flavor of the salad from “amazing” into “exquisite.” Will I be returning? OH YES YOU BET I WILL!

Everything you could possibly want - Edit
Absolutely loved it here - super authentic vibe. The menu was ridiculous and filled with so many options! I am so happy the business managed to survive COVID - it was quite busy for a Thursday evening. If you’re ever in Boston, check this place out!

Fantastic - Edit
So busy! Went on a Thursday night and it was lit. SO many options you may get decision fatigue. But literally, you can satisfy anyone when you come here. Big portions!
Read moreA few of the mock meats really threw me off, though, cuz they were really…similar lol. Would just do tofu the next time.

So flavorful - Edit
The menu is massive and the place was poppin on a Friday night. You can tell they’re stretched thin right now staff-wise but man was it worth the wait. The soup didn’t look like much but it was so flavorful. My tofu entree was simple and to the point. I could probably eat here for months and never repeat anything on the menu and I imagine everything would be equally delicious.

They need to clean up! - Edit
It's impossible to ignore how dirty this restaurant is.
Read moreDust on the inside window ledges, grime on the outside of the windows, a general atmosphere of dilapidation and neglect.
It's hard to enjoy a meal here without wondering if the kitchen is as run-down as the dining area.
The food was pretty good overall but I cannot go back unless they give the place a wipe.
Pros: tasty food, great choices, good value
Cons: it's grimy and run-down.

Great vegan option - Edit
I didn’t try any faux meats, but they tofu was great. Didn’t seem authentic Thai, but still tasty and great in a pinch.

They will not have your food ready and when you show up they will tell you that their prices have increased.

fantastically overrated - Edit
It’s vegan, which we really appreciate and support. But everything after that was awful—the food, the service and the physical restaurant were all just awful and give vegan restaurants a bad name. Had I taken omnivores there I would have been apologizing the entire time. I don’t like being so negative to someone doing vegan but come on people, at least try.

Disappointing flavors, amazing choices - Edit
We were so excited to eat here but it was a huge disappointment. We ordered a Tom kha soup which was like drinking coconut milk watered down. Especially disappointing because we asked for it extra spicy. There was no flavor. We sent it back and they put a little spicy stuff in it but still no real flavor. The red curry looked neon Orange and also wasn’t deserving of the three Chilies they put on the menu. We also got the steamed dumplings which ironically were the spiciest item. Those were seasoned well. Portions for the red curry was a bit small and not authentic. Wondering if they have tamped down flavors to suit a different audience, but I’m used to authentic Thai flavors and this didn’t cut it for us.

Best Restaurant in Boston!! - Edit
The food was so good!!! The menu is huge and everything looked amazing so it was so hard to decide what to get. I ended up trying the wontons, tofu soup, and the pineapple fried rice. Everything was great but the soup was the real standout. Highly recommend this place.

Vegan, fast, delicious - Edit
This place is on the second floor. The menu is HUGE! So many offerings. I was fooled and thought my chicken was actually chicken because they are SO good at what they do. My SO got the beef again it was amazingly similar! Flavors are all on point!! Would recommend everything is vegan!!!!

Delicious Thai food - Edit
I found this by chance and now been twice. The entrance is very dull looking and doesn't appear to be much, but do not let that put you off! There is an extensive menu to choose from. I had the Thai red tofu curry and was very tasty. Although it said spicey it could have been a little spicier for me! Very reasonable prices too. Will return on my next trip to Boston.
