Always delicious

Quite a few things can be made vegan and the staff is mostly knowledgeable.

Great pad Thai, several vegan options

My favorite Thai place in Indy, several vegan options available. If I recall, the menu is unfortunately not labeled with the word vegan explicitly in most places but the staff is very knowledgable about what "vegan" means. My favorite is the Pad Thai (tell them you want vegan, and mention no egg and no fish sauce). Every other thing I've tried is good. We always get the deep fried tofu appetizer.

The outside patio is very nice and we love sitting out there. Be aware that in late summer and early fall there are sometimes a few yellowjackets out there. We left them alone, didn't freak out, and they only minorly bothered us. Staff warned us they were out there and we still opted to sit outside.

Pros: Nice outdoor patio, Delicious pad thai, Knowledgable and friendly staff

Cons: Often very busy, I wish the menu explicitly labeled vegan dishes

Delicious food and vegan-friendly staff!

Service: 5/5, Quality: 4/5, Value: 3/5
Vegan Options: 4/5

Overall: Delicious food and appreciate the staff is able to make a lot of options vegan

Further:
Service-- We've always had positive experiences here with attentive and friendly staff. The staff has always been pretty knowledgeable about their vegan options and we've had a selection of things to choose from. They have never given us any issues when we ask if something is vegan or if something can be made vegan. They are either readily available to answer those questions or they are willing to ask someone who knows.

Quality-- We've had quite a few dishes and each of them have been quite good and flavorful. My favorite has been the pad thai with tofu, though the Lychee Sweet and Sour was a new-to-me dish that I enjoyed as well.

Value-- Prices are average, and portion sizes are average too. I don't leave hungry but I do feel like portion sizes are smaller than other Thai restaurants for what you pay.

Vegan Options-- I believe there is no fish sauce in pad thai but you can specify and/or tell them to make it vegan and they will know. The menu is clearly labeled for vegetarian options and you can ask about how to make things vegetarian or vegan as well. Our most recent trip had a special of the day that was clearly labelled vegan as well which was really neat to see and try!
