Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best vegan pad thai in the world?
Cheap Shots in Bangkok. It's not a vegan restaurant, but its vegan pad thai scored highest out of 13 places across 2 cities. Runner-up: Khan Toke in Denver.
Which cities have the best vegan pad thai?
By sheer number of good options: Bangkok (8), Denver (5). But smaller cities can punch above their weight — a city with 5 places might have a higher average quality than one with 50.
Are these all vegan restaurants?
No. Some of the top-ranked places are fully vegan, but many are regular restaurants that happen to make really good vegan pad thai. Each listing shows a Vegan Friendliness grade (A-E) so you know what to expect before you go.
How are these ranked?
Each restaurant is scored on how good their vegan pad thai specifically is — not their overall rating. A 4.2-star restaurant with incredible vegan pad thai will rank above a 4.8-star place where it's an afterthought.
