Had Duck Noodles - SpicyFood and service was fantastic. It's a Thai owned business, so I would recommend staying in the category as they have an expansive menus that includes Sushi and Chinese food.Duck noodles were flavorable with pretty much the same style broth as you would non-vegan duck noodles. I would recommend to ask the vegan duck to be fried crispy. The crunchy textures you get from Chinese broccoli and a little bit from the fried garlic, but if the duck was crispy, it would've make the dish exceptional.

This place is a great go-to casual restaurant if you're into Thai food.The interior is sleek and modern without the feel of it being pretentious. The servers are fantastic. Ours was friendly and attentive, constantly checking up on us and making us feel welcomed. It's pretty clear that they focus on maintaining a good image.We enjoyed the food here. We got the following:Thai iced tea ($4.99) - It tastes like your typical thai tea that you get at restaurants. Can't go wrong with it! However, it's very sweet so I would be wary about ordering this if this isn't your thing.Green curry fried rice ($16.99) - Was really good. It's fried rice where you can taste a hint of green curry spices.Barbeque chicken wings ($12.99) - This seems like the same typical plant-based chicken wings served at most vegan Thai restaurants in LA. You know, the soy protein ones with the silly bamboo stick going through it. However, I appreciated these ones more because they were nicely carmelized on the outside, creating a nice crisp texture. It comes with carrots, celery sticks, and ranch.

This restaurant is in small shopping strip with limited parking. Ambiance is very casual. Service was great from start to end.Food we started with appetizer spicy green curry samosa, there was no squash as specified, tasted like regular samosa with a hint of green curry taste.Tom yum Gyoza miso soup was good. Gyozo did not add value.Kow soi yellow curry was creamy and richSpicy cashew nuts were good too.Dumplings in green curry was subtle and tasted good.We asked all of the dishes to be made spicy, only spice came through in Tom Yum miso soup.Soup was served in wrong order after several dishes were served.

Delicious place felt like a very authentic spot, not the fancy LA social-media vibes. It's located in Thai Town near a lot of other Thai restaurants. Thankfully we sat near some people that are locals and frequent Salaya so they have great recs. Enjoyed the pad see ew, very classic and good. Thai tea really was great - tasted like genuine tea with sweet cream. The Thai jerk chicken wings were soy-sauce forward and garlicky so if that appeals to your taste, give it a try. The panang curry was also a solid dish as well. According to the locals you can't go wrong on the menu! A bit pricey, but we will try much more once we're back, and I definitely would come back and visit again.

A thoroughly impressive vegan menu that prominently features Thai food, as well as some American food like burgers and sandwiches and some Japanese food like ramen and sushi. Most meals come with a protein in the form of plant-based beef or chicken substitute, or tofu, and even vegan shrimp!There's tables and booths in a pretty spacious interior with a high ceiling. Makes for a very bright and welcoming space. Service is quick and I was offered guidance when I asked which eggplant dish is "better" - and that's admittedly some subjective language to impose on waitstaff. They did not lead me astray with steering me to the Eggplant Pad Phrink (battered eggplant in spicy red curry sauce, bell peppers, young pepper corn and basil) over the Spicy Eggplant (stir-fried eggplant in sauce with peppers). The Eggplant Pad Phrink really was perfectly dense and delicious.Everything was so fresh-tasting and hot and good! They even asked what spice level I wanted, and appropriately toned it down for me. My friend and I had empanadas and corn cakes as appetizers. Those are both MUST HAVES, and I can see myself ordering them again. I also sampled the Salaya Pumpkin with a beef protein during this visit and it was on point. I had visited here once before and had the poke bowl with a vegan tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and saffron roe- and that dish was fantastic, too.Parking is around if you search for it, as this is in Thai town in Hollywood... there is a very small parking lot, and you will likely rely on metered street parking. Let's call this 4.5 stars. Strongly considering 5 stars, I'll need to visit a third time to reconsider. I hope Salaya never goes away, ever.

Salaya has a wide range of vegan Thai offerings on its menu, bursting with different veggies, mock meats, and tofu. They are a great choice for both a casual dine-in experience and take-out or delivery. The employees are friendly and will make you feel at home.I eat here frequently and I have enjoyed most of the dishes I've tried, with a couple of rare exceptions. Overall, their ingredients are fresh and flavorful. My parents are picky eaters and even they love eating here so that's how you know it has to be good!

I found this mentioned on a YouTube channel I watch. I'm so glad that I did save it in my Yelp app to try when I was up in LA next. We were hungry and tried a faux shrimp and walnut dish, and here's the best thing about this, my husband has gout so only eats chicken for protein. But he can eat a faux shrimp and he liked it, plus I brought my brother from Canada, we all enjoyed the sweet flavor of the dish, the sauce with the walnut was so good. I loved the faux shrimp too.

This restaurant is a nice, simple, and casual place. It shares a small parking lot with some other businesses but we found a spot easily since we arrived not too long after opening. The service was very sweet and friendly. She was attentive without being too in your face and didn't just leave us alone the whole time.Food:Overall, every dish was suuuuper tasty! My no. 1 recommend is the crispy chicken larb salad. I loved the savory and tangy flavors that were working together in the dish. It was perfect. My only wish was that there were more onions but no complaints whatsoever!Thai Jerk Wings - So surprising! I was interested in the dish upon seeing it in the menu but was worried it wouldn't be that great. The sauce was yum. I loved biting into the "wings" and then getting some of that garlic.Corn Cakes - I tried making these at home before and failed miserably :') These were wonderfully crispy and crunchy! You get a bit of a sweet taste from the corn and it really hits as a nice snack/appetizer dish.Panang Curry - By the time they brought this out, I was already feeling stuffed! I had a few tastes though and it was a delight. Very creamy and savory, had a good balance. The portion is HUGE compared to a majority of other Thai places. They don't skimp on you here.Thai Iced Tea - They have the option of soy, almond, or coconut milk and I chose coconut! I think it worked well to give this iconic drink another layer of flavor. Very refreshing! I'm a simple girl so a Thai Tea can never get messed up for me.I highly recommend this place! Whether you do take out or eat there, please give this place a try. Their prices are standard for Thai restaurants but their portions are worth it. We will be back FOR SURE. After a being treated so rudely by a different vegan Thai place, we've been searching for a new replacement and this one is even better!

I stumbled upon this place while heading back to Orange County and after seeing it was entirely vegan, I ordered a couple dishes for pick up. I loved it! We tried the avocado curry with broccoli and the spicy eggplant with steamed tofu. Both were incredible! I actually preferred eating all of the elements of the avocado curry without the avocado chunks which I know kind of defeats the purpose but all of the other flavors were so good. The eggplant was also tender and well cooked. I can't wait to come back and try more things!

This has become our go-to place for takeout. We've tried the orange chicken, wonton soup, veggie spring rolls, tuna crispy rice and green curry fried rice. Everything slaps, and portions are generous. Do not skip the orange chicken! Delivery was fast and everything came well packaged as well. Cannot recommend this spot enough!
