So good! I had curry puffs as an appetizer and they were incredible. The cashew entree was excellent though I think that when I said Id like a spice level 2 they must have thought "too" as in it was a bit too spicy. Worth it though! The mock meat I had on it was shrimp which was basically a lot like imitation crab. I wouldnt really recommend that protein choice again. The "refreshing tea" was kind of a surprise in that its more like a tea slushy than an iced tea and its massive. Really good, though. I honestly cant wait to take my vegan and vegetarian friends here. Great place to go for Thai food if you want to avoid animal meat/products and I feel like my fellow omnivores would like it as much as I did.

The food and service are great but this restaurant is where a physically abusive man visits often. He works with children. He hires young men from grindr, takes them to dinner here before getting them drunk and taking advantage of them. He spreads STDs. He is a regular at Veganic, so watch out. Hes white, in his 30s, 63", 220lbs, wears glasses, thinning black hair, polo or Guess shirts, and khaki pants. He often visits with a short, fat guy in his early 30s with blonde hair. He used to go with his ex before he physically abused him and made him homeless. He likes ordering mushroom salad, or pad thai and he gets them really spicy, sometimes with ginger tea. Message me for more details.

We had Uber Eats deliver since parking can be tricky at peak times, and the food was great. The vegan cream cheese won tons had avocado in them! The Pad Thai was a bit dry, but they sent plenty of peanut sauce to jazz it up. The satay kabob (mock chicken) was great and my dogs were begging for it, thinking it was meat! The delicious mango sticky rice was blue (breaking bad-style?). The tom yum soup was very good too. Several restaurants have come and gone in this spot, so hopefully this one is here to stay!

Came in and had the coconut soup, tofu wraps and wontons. All tasted great. It was very bright in there and the ambiance was kind of cold. The table set up doesnt really fit the price point or menu offerings. Seems a little disconnected with the fine dining set up with a fairly casual menu in my opinion. I will return bc the food execution was on point.

Firstly, my husband ordered the pad thai and the noodles were not cooked all the way through which they kindly fixed but my food looked and tasted super old and pass its prime. Their establishment was also not the cleanest. There were crusty smears on the wall and window and a crusty looking toilet brush in the bathroom. Also flies flying around.

The restaurant is immaculate and the food is delicious! My favorite dishes are the cream cheese wonton and the drunken noodle. The staff is very friendly and the food is very reasonably priced. Best of all the menu is all vegan so no stress for all my vegan peeps of what you can or cant eat. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing Thai food with amazing vegan option. I got the Larb with the vegan duck and man it was delicious! A lot of food and a great meal. I would ask for more lettuce wraps if you do decide to get it though. The food wasnt heavy and they didnt use a lot of oil which was a nice change from other Thai restaurants.

Best Thai food in San Diego - vegan or not. The green papaya salad is amazing. The Tom kha hot pot is our favorite and the mock duck curry is a must try. All the appetizers are worth a go and the drinks are delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Bring your dog and sit outside on a sunny day!

Incredible Thai food! 100% vegan menu. Great service. Appropriately priced. Green curry is my go to, but I trusted the server and tried the "Larb". If youre reading this...you HAVE to get the Larb. Trust me on this one. Also, best sticky rice Ive ever had.

good curries and fried rice. the pad thai was not good. too sweet and no spice.. mock duck was bland they could step that up. my singha beer was overpriced at 7 dollars smh. Yellow curry was very tasty. upgrade yo faux meats tho!!

Ohhhh where do I start. Im not a Veganic or Veganican but, the food here is so good you dont even miss the meat. My favorites are the pad see you and the Tom kah soup is to die for. One of my favorite Thai food spots hands down

I ordered Curry Puff, Pra ram, Jungle Curry and Spicy Fried Rice. Enthusiastic and cheerful service, came by frequently to inquire how everything was. Food was amazing! Jungle curry was spicy but I loved it.

Came in not sure what to expect. Nice atmosphere, and great food! Everything we ordered was flavorful but not overpowering. Superb sauces as well. Get ice cream to finish off the meal. Will come again~

This place is by far the best Thai food Ive ever had. Probably my favorite place in San Diego to have dinner. All of my non vegan friends agree!! Very friendly staff, good prices and large portions.

One of the best Thai restaurants in town, even if you are not a vegan, you will love Veganic. Fresh homemade curries, soy mock meats, and noodles. Try the panang, the pad Thai, and drunken noodles.

I appreciate that this place serves vegan food. I love Thai food, but often its not possible to get it without fish sauce in everything. This place is different!

Average Vegetarian Thai restaurant. Most Thai restaurants in San Diego have vegetarian options and the restaurant does little to distinguish itself.

This place is great of your vegan, but no much otherwise. I was still really hungry after.
