Vegan Glory

LA's myriad of vegan Thai restaurants could be a sub-culture all its own, and for our money, this is the best of them. Tucked inside a Mid-City mini-mall, this no-frills eatery offers all the Thai staples like pad thai and tom yum, as well as lentil burgers and a few Mexican standbys like burritos and quesadillas. The extensive menu offers something for everyone, but you’re better off ordering standout dishes like creamy green chili, full of eggplant and bamboo in a coconut milk base, and the spicy papaya salad that packs a fresh lime kick. The Thai iced tea here is also exemplary, with an intense tea flavor that balances out the sweetness.
