Glad to hear Vegan Spot isn't Thai vegan. I am so over that cuisine. Vegan Spot is around the corner from me and I can't wait to try it. I am not vegan nor vegetarian but love Flore's fake reuben sandwich... I read on another blog somewhere that this place has great fake roast beef and cheddar. Has anyone here tried the place yet?

The Vegan Spot isn't thai vegan, just vegan. it's a counter service restaurant from the people that run Flore. Thai vegan is more like fast food to me. it's not necessarily all that healthy, but delicious when you're in the mood! also, their menus are almost all identical. since it's so casual and not so boutiquey, i don't foresee it becoming "the next big thing". they are already around everywhere.

Everyone thinks the Bay Area is some sacred place for vegetarian/vegan food and nothing could beat it. Don't get me wrong, they have tons of great options, but in Los Angeles, the options are more diverse and more plentiful (to be fair, we are bigger).

Yeah, I'm not certain. There's something about "chicken" that just doesn't do it for me. A real dead bird roasting on a spit though? Mmmmm... MEAT!!! :D

All of that makes me drool... Looks so tasty - great photos. I love vegetarian Thai food, but never have had vegan Thai food. Just add this to the list to "restaurants that the Bay Area should have"!!
