The place was very cute, quiet and comfy! Perfect place for a date or intimate dinner. The food was to DIE FOR! I'm not a vegan, but this is some of the best Thai food I've had in the area (couldn't tell it was vegan food). 10/10 and definitely coming back. The staff was so friendly too :) read more

Haven't been here in years. We decided to check out the spot and see how it's been since we last visited. We luckily got parking in front of the restaurant. Pay at the meter. After we paid, we thought the place was closed...but then realized it wasn't. We tried to go in a different door that was locked. The entrance is so confusing because it's literally on the inner side that you can't see! Can easily be missed! Good thing we found it before leaving. When else entered, it was empty! On a Friday night. It felt like VIP and private we had the restaurant to ourselves but it was so sad at the same time. They were more strong on to-go orders as customers came and went. We ordered their vegetable tempura, pineapple fried rice, and panang curry. Everything came out hot. All was good except the pineapple in their fried rice was spoiled. We brought it to their attention, and they corrected it right away. They explained it was canned so they're not sure how it could've been spoiled. We were unable to eat it. They made us a fresh new hot plate. They also brought us everything we requested like condiments and boxes. The lady was very nice about it. I couldn't hate on the place. It's just sad to see it dead compared to how it was before. The economy is really tough, and too expensive to dine out. The only one-off would be the spoiled food many because the food isn't circulating due to low demand. Anyway, the staff were very nice and polite though. Was not at all mad or rude when we mentioned it. read more

We went here for a family dinner. The cuisine was Thai vegetarian. We ordered a curry, khao soi, pineapple fried rice, drunken noodles and a few appetizers. The food was good but not amazing and I've had better thai vegetarian elsewhere. The price for each dish is in the same range as other thai or vegetarian restaurants. Service was a little below fair. I would have liked them to come more often to refill the waters. We had a party of 7 so we were charged an automatic 20% service charge. We bought a cake with us and our own plastic utensils and plastic plates. We borrowed a knife from the restaurant. The restaurant did not let us know there would be a cake charge but they billed us for 7 dollars. The only service we needed from them for the cake was to borrow their knife and to dispose of 3 small palm sized paper plates. 2 stars - I've had better food and much better service. read more

The food at this restaurant is amazing to say the least. I've eaten at many Thai restaurants in my day, and this is surely in my top five. I've tried the Pad Se Ew with soy duck, Spicy Fried Rice with soy chicken, Pad Woon Sen with soy chicken, and Mango with Sweet Sticky Rice - all of which were phenomenal. The food is consistently flavorful, filling, and cooked perfectly. The soy duck and soy chicken are both very good. My only con is that the food is pretty pricey, but then again so are 99.9% of Thai restaurants in California. I recommend this restaurant to vegans and non-vegans alike. I'm excited for my next visit. Thank you!!! read more

Overall a nice dinner. Service was a bit slow as there was only one person working. Atmos is nice but it's hard benches and chairs for all. The food was truly good. Very enjoyable -every dish. Prices were fair and we felt that not only was it good, it was a bargain. read more

I really enjoy the food here. I've come a few times, I am not a vegan, but there are so many delicious things to enjoy. Inside is cute, the outside is also cute, but there was a crazy guy outside which kinda blew the vibe. Waiters can sometimes be fast, and sometimes be slow, quicker service inside for sure. read more

Revisiting my review here, as I tried a couple of other items. I got the hot basil with tofu and it was pretty good, I would consider ordering again if I wasn't in the mood for drunken noodles. My husband had the larb this time and it was so good! Loved the seasoning and dressing on it. The faux duck bits were really crispy. I would definitely order this one for myself next time. Pass on the spring rolls though, the fillings are just tofu and lettuce basically. read more

I'm not usually the "skip the meat" type, but vegetarian Thai might just make me reconsider my life choices. Well at least at Veganic Thai! The dishes here are full of flavor, texture, and that comforting Thai balance of sweet, savory, and spice. The yellow curry hit all the right notes. It was fragrant, and loaded with crispy veggies that somehow still had that perfect crunch swimming in the sauce. The spring rolls were simple but clean and fresh, kind of that ideal appetizer to warm you up for the flavor storm that's coming. Now onto the Pad Thai! It's tangy, nutty, slightly sweet and everything you want in a classic Pad Thai, minus the meat. This is where tofu came in handy. Definitely coming back here next time I feel like going meatless for dinner. Welp! On to the next! read more

This vegan restaurant has the best Thai food I've ever had in my life. I had the "beef and chicken" basil rice and some spring rolls. My daughter had a pineapple rice dish and my wife a different vegetable dish. The portions were very generous and the food was so fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and timely. The prices were very very reasonable. I will be eating here often. I highly recommend it. read more

Absolutely delicious!! I got the pad Thai with fried tofu and it was some of the best pad Thai I've had!! I also tried the garlic pepper with soy beef and it was phenomenal!!! It looked so good that when it arrived, I forgot to take a photo and dove right in!! I will definitely be back :) I highly recommend trying this place out! Delicious vegan food, fast service, and great vibes!!! Very good pricing as a cherry on top! read more

I've been here multiple times, and every visit hits different...Veganic Thai stays living up to the name. To all my vegan fam: this one's for us. The entire menu is vegan, no substitutions, no modifications, no "can you remove the egg and fish sauce" gymnastics. Just order with confidence and let your taste buds run wild. Unless you've got a nut allergy... then maybe scroll with caution instead of enthusiasm. Otherwise, give your fingers a workout and scroll that menu like a carnivore locked in at a steakhouse. The ambiance? Chill and inviting. The location? Prime. Walk score? So high your car might catch feelings. Now let's talk food: the drunken noodles? Absolutely lit. Drunk with flavor and buzzing your taste buds like they just left a wine tasting. Whether you're a plant-based boss or rolling with your meat-loving crew, this is a San Diego spot worth pulling up to. Stamped. Recommended. Appetite approved. read more

We discovered this place today and we're so grateful we found it! The food is organic, fresh, and so yummy! We're sad ordered summer rolls, Thai spring rolls, potstickers, yellow curry, Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, veggie delight. The portions were huge and everything tasted so fresh. The staff was kind and friendly, service was quick, and our waters never went empty. We are grateful to have found a new vegan Thai restaurant after too many negative experiences with another one. We can't wait to come back! read more

The atmosphere is quaint in a sweet breezy side of town. During early dinner, kind and informative wait staff. The food , cooked to order and Delicious!!

Dinner consisted of it spicy basil fried rice with vegetables and topped it off with Mango sweet sticky rice! read more

Veganic is always a solid choice. The service is consistently good, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I'm not vegan, but I go with my vegetarian friend pretty often, and it's been a great place to try things I normally wouldn't order. Their beef alternatives are surprisingly good -- easily some of the better ones I've tried. After checking out a few other vegan spots around San Diego, Veganic has ended up being one of my personal favorites. It's an easy place to enjoy a meal whether you're plant‑based or just exploring something new. read more

Really good dishes. Fast service and cute outdoor seating area, perfect for people watching. read more

After a tough week at work, I was looking for something satisfying on Friday night and decided to try Veganic Thai for takeout. The online ordering was quick and simple, and by the time I arrived, my food was ready to go. I loved that I could track my order and see when it was prepared. We went for the Pad See Ew with mock duck, and it did not disappoint! The mock duck was amazing--tender and full of flavor. We also tried the Thai Twin dish with mock shrimp and chicken in a sweet and sour sauce, served with veggies, pineapple, and cucumber. The mock chicken had a fantastic smoky flavor that really stood out, and the sweet and sour sauce was spot on, with the perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness, especially with the stewed fresh tomatoes. It felt so authentic. read more

Super tasty I couldn't even really tell it was vegetarian. I really thought I was eating chicken with my order of red curry so much flavor. I will definitely come back again. read more

The place is small but so cozy and comfortable. The food is amazing. I got the pumpkin curry with tofu and vegetables. I'm a wimp, so I went for a 1 on spice. It was creamy, flavorful and delicious. Our server was attentive and sweet. The prices are reasonable too. 10 out 10 and I'll be back. read more

One of the best vegan restaurants I have been to in awhile. I am a big fan of Thai food. I am a longtime vegan of 25 years so thrilled to dine at an all vegan thai spot. I opted for the massaman curry. Plentiful portion size and reasonably priced. Flavorful. My server said the curry has a range beginning at three up to 10 for spiciness. I opted for a five aka medium spicy and found this to be a good amount of heat yet not overboard. I opted to get some hot sauces on the side. Simple yet sufficient ambiance. Recommended! read more

Really yummy curry! Love that everything is vegan! They even had vegan duck on the menu! The massaman curry was just right! The yellow curry was a little on the spicy side for me but very delicious. The servers were attentive and the food came out very fast. We were the only ones dining in on a Monday night. It seems they do a lot of takeout/ uber eats orders. read more

It says it closes at 9 but the kitchen actually closes as 8:30. They won't let you order after that. They should change their timings on google. Also, we went there twice and both times we had to wait ten minutes before someone came to seat us. There was barely anyone in there so they didn't have any reason to make us wait. We had to leave because they came at 8:20 and told us the kitchen was closing in ten, which they could've told us earlier. They saw us and ignored us. Never going back!! read more

We loved Veganic! My wife and I started with the combo satay, which included tofu and vegan chicken satay. We eat loads of tofu and I expected to prefer that, but the vegan chicken had an even better texture. The satay sauce and cucumber chutney were so good, we kept the leftover sauce to eat with our rice and noodles even after we finished the combo satay. For main dishes, my wife had the kua noodles with steamed tofu and I had the pineapple fried rice with fried tofu. The kua noodles were well cooked with a very mild smoky flavor. Lots of carrots and big chunks of steamed tofu so we got some in every bite. The pineapple fried rice was full of pineapple and cashews, and the portion was huge. We absolutely loved everything we tried and will definitely be back to try more items in the future! read more

Such wonderful food! We were staying in the Hillcrest area and wanted to enjoy a nice vegan meal. We shared tofu satay, and lovely delicate "golden flower puffs" (both appetizers) then we shared a veggie delight with vegan chicken. Plenty for the two of us and we still took a little home. We looked at meals near us and everything looked delicious. Lovely place with great service. read more

Kinda disappointed, they certainly had meat replacements but didn't seem to be clear if they would just not make the dishes without meat-like substances. Our table ordered Pad See Ewe and Drunken Noodles. The imitation shrimp was compared to jello and my soy chicken was like a slimey, half stiffened, rubber cement. I wish they would've made it with simply no "protein", just noodles and vegetables. I'll stick with my home Thai Kitchen from now on. read more

Used to be a huge fan of this place but will not be coming back anymore! Sorely disappointed with their cleanliness and customer service. When we kindly asked for a new fork and bowls because there was literally rice visibly caked on them, the male waiter looked annoyed and shot back, "It's not going to change if I bring you out another one." The waiter checked in with our table a total of ZERO times. Service was extremely slow because there were only 2 waiters for an entirely full restaurant. read more

I don't eat vegan food too often, but I enjoyed this place a lot. I tried their Thai Spring Rolls for an appetizer, which was really good and had a lot of crispiness in each bite. For lunch, I wasn't too hungry, so I ended up going with the Wonton Soup. Overall, it was a good soup, but it was very bland. I had to add a lot of flavor in order to make it actually enjoyable to eat. I would give this place 3.5 stars, but I'm going to round up to 4 stars. However, I would still come back here to try their other vegan options. read more

We dined here a few days after dining at the White Elephant, around the corner. Veganic Thai is much, much better in every way--the food is delicious and the service far quicker and friendlier. We're not vegan or vegetarian, but it doesn't matter. The food is just very tasty. I ordered steamed (not fried) tofu for my protein. My only reservation was that the noise level rose to an uncomfortable level when all the tables were full (it was a Friday night with a number of children). read more

This place was fantastic and had no idea it had existed. My buddy was in town and he is prefers vegan food with serious spice and I can't hand spice but I can do vegan. :-) This place catered to the both of us and food was so delicious and tasted freshly made. Need to go back with a larger party to their many other delicious offerings. read more

I'm not vegan (I'm actually a total carnivore who loves meat!), but after eating here I could absolutely see myself becoming one. The food at Veganic Thai Café was incredible, so flavorful, fresh, and satisfying that I didn't miss meat at all. Every dish tasted thoughtfully prepared and full of depth, with rich sauces, great textures, and amazing seasoning. You can really tell they put love and care into their cooking. It wasn't just "good for vegan food" , it was genuinely delicious food, period. If you're vegan, vegetarian, or even a curious meat-eater like me, this place is an absolute must-try. I'm already looking forward to going back! Sorry I didn't provide a picture, but the food was so darn good! read more

AMAZING vegan Thai food!! The menu is large and I was spoilt for choice!! We ordered spring rolls, chicken satay, pad Thai, larb, and the massaman curry. Then some mango sticky rice for desert.

Veganic has been my go-to Thai place whenever I'm around North Park/Hillcrest. Their food is always absolutely incredible, and I suspect the mock duck could fool an unsuspecting omnivore into thinking it was the real deal. The "mock meat" proteins at most Thai places I've been to has usually been pretty bad, so finding a place that does it right is a real gem. The vibe is always spot on too. Definitely the right setting for a romantic dinner date. Highly recommended :) read more
