10/10 this place is awesome. I've been here a few times and yesterday I got the gluten free fried chicken sandwich which also had on it Japanese egg salad and spicy mustard. I have celiac disease and it's so incredible to find amazing gluten free celiac friendly food that's this good and full size (we're not talking tiny gf bread, this stuff is legit). The portions are big and the food is reasonably priced. Also have a big selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Can't wait to come back soon

So glad I finally came by today for a late lunch (2PM) - cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors (adapted for non-Thais). Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!

Great sandwiches including a HUGE vegan menu. They have gluten free/vegan bread as an option also for those that prefer it. Order ahead since it might take a bit of time to get the sandwiches made.

Lots of good stuff here! Mostly vegan if not all vegan, though a lot of it is the "fake meat" stuff that I try to avoid since it's highly processed and sometimes is made out of/with gluten. One of the downsides to eating here is that it isn't at all obvious what foods have gluten in them, so I had to have our server go check which dishes are gluten-free. The curry eggplant hot pot just might be my favorite thing to get here ... I'm drooling thinking about it!

Amazing food at a reasonable price with generous portions. The interior has an industrial aesthetic, but it's comfortable and the staff are very friendly here. They have a great selection of Gluten Free options and they have the best shawarma fries in the area!
