Plumeria Vegetarian Encinitas

Having loved their original San Diego location last trip, we were excited to try their second location in Encinitas. We were not disappointed.My wife & I visited for lunch. Almost all dishes are vegan, and all mains are served with a choice of vegan protein. We split the penang curry with vegetarian duck ($17.50) and the rama with vegetarian (steamed) chicken ($17.50). We asked for the curry to be 5/5 spiciness and the rama to be 4/5, and were given a disclaimer that they actually do Thai spiciness -- awesome. We went for it and were very satisfied. The curry was incredibly richly flavoured, with endless depth and complexity, coming with plenty of bell peppers and carrots, and wonderfully prepared, slightly crispy vegetarian duck. Scintillating.The rama was also very good, served on a bed of steamed mixed veggies and steamed chicken, with plenty of spicy peanut sauce poured on top. Fantastic as well.Each main is served with white or brown rice, so you don't have to order more.Service is exceptionally friendly and quick. The place itself is beautifully designed,Simply some of the best vegan/vegetarian Thai food out there. My highest recommendation.

One of our favorite activities to do in San Diego is to spend an evening at Moonlight beach, catch the sunset and wrap up the evening with a delicious dinner at Plumeria! Plumeria is San Diego's well know vegetarian Thai restaurant! This is such a great place for any dietary preference! I still haven't had an omnivore friend complain that I have taken them to Plumeria! They love the food so much and forget that it is missing meat!Be prepared for a wait on a weekend. The tables are cozy and the ambiance is perfect for great meal!Start with some delicious soft spring rolls. This can be followed by their Tom Kha soup. One bowl is never enough , so get the family serving !We love the salads as well!For mains - try the Pad Thai, spicy noodles and Penang curry! All are favorites with our family! The food comes out quickly and I just perfectly adjusted to your spice levels , which they ask about beforehand! Don't try Thai Hot - do yourself a favor on that one! No need for that level of epic bravery!The service has always been great here and we keep coming back for more! Hope Plumeria expands to even more locations in San Diego! Keep up the amazing delivery of vegetarian food in San Diego!

Plumeria. Pretty name and nice restaurant off South Coast Highway and D street in Encinitas. Definitely busy on a Sunday given the open Moonlight Marketplace that takes place simultaneously. Had to do a couple of circles to find parking but the positive is that it's a beautiful area to walk around even if you park far. Was seated outside during an overcast/humid day. There is shade and enough space for me to fit my stroller in addition to a table for 2. Was seated and greeted immediately. Various food options esp for vegetarians. Friend got the spring rolls and I opted for the Thai tea (with almond milk) and fried tofu pad Thai. Came out quickly and beautifully presented. Was extremely flavorful and they did not shirk on quantity. All the dishes that came out of neighboring tables looked pretty and made my eyes turn into heart emojis. Thai tea was tasty as well. Was told it was freshly made each morning. Will definitely come back and try neighboring restaurants as well.

I've been to the other plumeria location and have always like their food. My friend and I were strolling around the Encinitas area around 4pm and since there is not a whole lot to do aside from eating, we decided to pop in and share a dish or some apps. After looking at the menu, we went for the pad Thai with mock duck but the male server expressed dissatisfaction on his face when we ordered only one dish to share a dish at 4pm. I'm not sure why because the pad thai costs $17.50 which is more than the average price charged by most thai restaurants so we are already paying a premium mid-day when it's not lunch or dinner. The pad thai was good and it's a decent portion to share when you're not hungry and just finding a reason to snack and hang out. The interior was lovely and the place wasn't busy.

We celebrated a Retirement/Bon Voyage intimate gathering here in May 2024. It was perfect! Made reservations for a party of 7 over the phone for brunch on a Monday. We were greeted upon entry and everything was delicious. From start to finish: Each dish ordered had a distinct flavor than the next. No two flavors were the sale. We started with a sampler appetizer. I was not quick enough to capture an image, it was quickly devoured soon after it was placed on the tableThough each of us ordered different and individual entrees, we shared a few bites from each other's plate. Loved the purple /black rice served with each entree (though you can also opt for the white rice). Service was excellent. Our water cups kept full. Serving sizes just plenty to satiate the appetite. Table service excellent.This is a MUST try for those searching for a yummy eats!! I would definitely return!!

Our FAVORITE Thai restaurant in CA, hands down! Not even exaggerating when I say everything tastes sooo good here. Veggies are fresh and crisp, and proteins are tasty. We first came across Plumeria in San Diego and fell in love. And were beyond thrilled to find the same establishment in Encinitas!Got the:1. Rama (peanut based sauce) with extra veggies2. Panang curry w/ the bean mix (what an amazing & unique concept.. wish more Thai places offered this as a protein option)3. Pad See Ew noodles (w/ rice noodles & fried tofu)4. Eggplant dish w/ fried tofu Everything comes with a choice of white or brown rice. The person at the counter was very helpful and suggested the best protein options based on the dish. We requested everything to have mild spice and it was made to perfection! The panang curry had a slight kick to it, but we had been forewarned about that by the wonderful lady. The menu is extensive.I craved food from Plumeria when I was pregnant -- THAT'S how incredible it is. Haven't been to the SD location in a while but glad to have found this gem here.Here's a request for the owner: PLEASE open a branch in LA. Given the quality and taste of your food, the restaurant will thrive!

Delicious if you are vegetarian or vegan. Went with my international dining group. We all enjoyed our food, so got to sample several items. I had mock duck which was crispy and delicious. Husband had spicy rice whose protien came from two kinds of lentils. Not sure what was in the flower cups but they were light and crispy and so cute. I did try a bit of vegan cheesecake. It was just ok, I felt it was gritty and artificial tasting. But the person that ordered it liked it. Great location on the coast highway in Encinitas. We parked a few blocks away but a pleasant walk. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, with good service would go back.

This restaurant is in a popular spot where there's a lot of restaurants and stores. I came here not knowing it was vegetarian. I was highly impressed with the food and flavors even though they don't use fish sauce. One of my favorites was the curry. The customer service was great and everything tasted really good. The mock meat was surprisingly tasty, I would recommend the fried duck for your dishes and chicken.

Love their food, everything is delicious! My fav is their Pumpkin Curry dish. The staff is super nice, the vibe is calming and the restaurant is clean.

absolutely delicious. The food is fantastic. The service is great in person and through delivery. They actually called me to confirm the special instructions on my order. This is the first time anyone has ever done that for me and I really appreciate it. This is by far the best Thai food I've ever had.
