About

Rai Lay serves Thai street-food dishes alongside sushi and cocktails in an industrial-chic dining room, with tofu substitutions and a vegan menu available upon request. One 2023 reviewer praised the tofu and knowledgeable server, but later reports describe butter used in cooking and a vegan-requested noodle dish containing meat or egg, so confirm ingredients carefully.
