Taste of Thaiyai
Taste of Thaiyai is a casual, family-run Thai spot with a broad menu including many dishes that can be customized vegan upon request. The restaurant is known for its mock meat substitutes like mock chicken and duck, but recent reviews report inconsistent vegan preparation and misleading vegetarian labeling. Despite good staff knowledge claimed earlier, some guests experienced major issues with cross-contamination and animal ingredients in vegan-marked dishes.
