    My beautiful wife and I really liked this place. It is nice having a place like this within walking distance of our house. When we went, I ordered the Thais Basil Chicken with rice. The food came out quick and it was delicious. Definitely well worth the visit. The place was nice on the inside and the service was friendly. Please check this place out.

    So, this place certainly looks like a hole in the wall. The inside ambience is not remarkable either. However, the food is authentic. The chefs and servers know their food and we loved every item. Portions are not super great but decent. Spice levels can be adjusted as we wish.

    Been wanting to come here for a long time and was fully expecting a 5-star review which makes it a bit disappointing I need to give it only 4. Perhaps the numerous, glowing reviews of the Crying Tiger entree raised my expectations... or maybe it was just a bad night. But I didn't find it to be anything special and actually quite chewy / tough. The Tom Yum soup was delicious and the steamed seafood was decent with somewhat rubbery squid. Service was fine. Ambiance was as expected. Overall a good place that I'm willing to try again.

    Amazing food and service! Don't miss out on this hidden gem. We started with the chicken satay. It was fresh and hot and delicious. My dining partner ordered the Tom Yum noodles, I ordered Latb with chicken. Both worse amazing and we are going to come back for sure! It's not a fancy place, but it's clean and the food is delicious and fresh.

    This restaurant is a well oiled machine! The ladies at the counter were filling so many to go…read moreorders, it was mind blowing. They were busy, yet very friendly and efficient. You place your order on a electronic tablet. We ordered the Sizzling Lau Sausage, Crispy Zaap Wings, Pad Kee Mao and the Mango Sticky Rice. We ordered all of our items to go. When I took our items out of our bags when we got back, I was amazed at the portion size of the Pad Kee Mao because the weight of the container was SUBSTANTIALLLLLL!!!!! All of our items were out of this world fantastic but I have to give a big ole shout out for that MANGO STICKY RICE! This was first time to have it and my husband and I both enjoyed. I appreciated the variety of Thai and Lao items on their menu and would like to come back and try some other things. They had a lot of customers coming in and out with to go orders. You can tell this is very popular for lunch for folks who work in the area. I can understand why. All of the food is so fresh and piping hot. Oh and the chalkboard art is MAGNIFICENT!!!! I love it so much that i took more pictures of that than our food! I did, however, get a pic of the mango sticky rice because I had to try it immediately when we got back. WOWOWOWOWOWWWW! That's all.

    It's Thai fast food. Since most Thai restaurants are usually reasonably priced, I didn't find this…read moreplace, while most of their items are inexpensive, to be that great of a deal. The papaya salad came with big chunks of cabbage and marinated green papaya. The Lao sausage was good and the garlic riblets were okay. Overall it was fine but I'm not entirely impressed with the food. Wall decorated with chalk drawings was very nice, for a fast food type of place!

    Having ordered from My Thai and Vegan numerous time and they have consistently knocked it out of…read morethe park. From speed and accuracy to taste and freshness of orders, My Thai and Vegan has never disappointed. The My Thai and Vegan website makes ordering a breeze, the menu is expansive, and check-out process simple (especially if you've ordered from them before). I enjoy playing with their menu and have tried a number of offerings. My favs include their tofu basil fried rice, fresh veggie spring rolls, pad see eew, and vegan sesame "chikn" among others. I will say I tried their vegan rangoons and wasn't a fan, but it was just a matter of personal taste and not at all was My Thai and Vegan to blame. I appreciate and enjoy their custom spice levels as well as the number of add-ons/offerings/options their website offers to really make your meal your own. I have never had to wait for my to-go order to be ready and waiting for me when I arrive and pick-up has always been super speedy and simple. Service, although my interactions have been brief, has always been friendly and pleasant. Whenever work has me in the area you can bet I'll be grabbing lunch at some point from My Thai and Vegan. Looking forward to my next visit and meal.

    Best Thai vegan place I visited; very pleasant ambiance and amazing service…read more I absolutely loved the green curry and the Thai iced coffee. I only wish they added more vegan desserts
