Honestly the best - Edit
Such a good range of options and everything is honestly so delicious. I even think your non vegan friends would love it too! Although was a little confused when I figured out rice wasn’t included! Also- we ordered through Uber eats and paid for the delivery only to discover that they actually offer free delivery themselves! So if your reading this ready to order on Uber eats- try calling them first!
Read morePros: Free delivery, Delicious, Great range
Cons: No rice

Totally worth it - Edit
Was delicious! Went here twice after stumbling upon the sign while walking along high street. The pan fried dumplings were great as was the red curry and the tom Yom goong soup with faux prawn. Open on a Monday unlike many restaurants in Auckland.

Must try in Auckland - Edit
I’ve been here many times over the years and recently returned since the new owners took over and the menu was revised (which is kind of good as there were way too many options previously). The food is still great, though a couple of things we tried weren’t to my taste (the kumara curry rolls - though to be fair I’m not a big fan of kumara - and the papaya salad was very hot). The salt and pepper tofu and crispy tofu with satay were both delicious, as was the pad pak. I can’t wait to go back and try more.
Read morePros: All vegan , Tasty options , Good opening hours and location

Yummy Thai food - Edit
Delicious food and decent prices for what you get. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the sago pudding that was on the specials board once, but that was just personal preference. Awesome that this whole place is vegan.

Pretty good Thai - Edit
Good place to share dishes with friends as the dishes are quite large. You have to ask for chilli if you like it spicier and more authentic or the food will be quite plain, but a good choice when in the city.

Terrible food and expensive. - Edit
Ordered the mapo tofu and massaman curry. The tofu dish came out swimming in a brown watery sauce that tasted like the frozen vegetables (peas, carrot, corn) that it had just been cooked in. Yuck. Massaman curry was ok, pretty expensive for the amount of food we got.

Mmmmm Thai food~ - Edit
First time having Thai food, so good that we've gone back here several times. The pan fried dumplings are amazing, the texture and the flavour tastes like something I've been missing out since becoming vegan, so I really appreciate this.
Read moreTheir red and green curries are yummy, although could be spicier.
Stir fried noodles with vegetables, pad Thai and "chicken" and "pork" with rice were all amazing.
The samosas were okay but I've had better ones.
Finally caved in to the "money bags", sadly they weren't that good but they look cute.
I'd say, you can't go wrong with their dumplings, rice dishes (so good), noodles.....ok, just try everything, it's great!
Pros: Vegan and delicious!
Cons: Could be a lot more spicier!

Inexpensive & Tasty in Central Auckland - Edit
Big menu with no animal ingredients. Mainly mock meats & tofu dishes (we had a vegan meal without eating a vegetable!) Try the pancake starters, very flakey & crispy. Its more like an asia cafe than restaurant, prices are affordable so often full of student.
Read morePros: Lots of choice , Cheap , Open later at night
Cons: The pink bathroon needs a revamp

Cheap & cheerful meal on the go.... - Edit
We ate here because it was a close walk from our hotel & the menu was totally plant based. Over 70 items to choose from. It was busy & the service was friendly and fast.
Read moreThe food was fine...not great and probably a little basic but the portions were good and it hit the spot. The Pad Thai fried noodles with peanut had good flavours but the Rice with Vege & Tofu was just too bland. The curry puffs & money bags were both fine.
Basic decor but clean and tidy enough.
Pros: Cheap, friendly, plenty of options.

Great spot - Edit
So glad we chose this excellent 100% vegan place tucked away in a sweet little mall. The menu was large and after looking at what our fellow diners were having everything seemed a good choice. I recommend the dumplings which were fresh, hot and delicious. It was frequented by locals which is always a good sign.
Read moreThe portions were amble sized and very filling.
So sad we not staying longer in Auckland for a return visit!
Pros: Tasty, Good portions , Fair price
Cons: None

Disappointing - Edit
I love Thai food, but this was not as tasty or well-prepared as I was hoping for. The soup (I think it was the tofu and vegetables soup) was very bland and tasteless. It seemed to just be plain water with some unseasoned vegetables and tofu in it. The waitress explained that the lack of taste was because we asked that they not add sugar and to use just a little bit of salt. I was expecting it to be spiced in a way that did not need sugar to make it taste good. The curry dish was ok, but not great. I was glad they had multi-grained rice instead of just white rice. Maybe some of the other, more pricy dishes are better, but I would not recommend eating here.
