Plumeria Vegetarian

Despite not being a vegetarian myself, I really like the food and I leave happy. The spices are on point, and mesh quite well with one another. The presentation of the dishes is very nice, which I assume are to be expected for the area. I like how much care and attention the business puts into the food.It does tend to be rather busy and a bit on the loud side because of the size and cramped nature of the buildings. They do have outdoor seating, but expect to bring something to abate the ever- present nature of the summer mosquitoes. Parking is fairly difficult to come by, as it's all street with no lots to support the number of businesses and restaurants along this strip. I've regularly had to park in the residential area or even near the park, and walk a block or two just to get to the restaurant.

Solid 4.5. Amazing food, went when visiting from NY. Love that it's all vegetarian, and they are very accommodating to those with dietary restrictions. Food 9/10: delicious!! wish portions were a little bigger though!! Ambiance: slightly dim lighting, calm and relaxing, and seating is spread out well and enough room at the tables. Service 9/10 waitress was very friendly, attentive and respectful when helping us. May have to wait a little for a table though so be prepared. Would 100% recommend, great place!!

Plumeria was very delicious. We were sat outside when we arrived. There were a handful of tables out on the front sidewalk. We had very friendly and quick service. My friend and I ordered the samosas, the yellow curry, and eggplant with tofu. The food came out super quickly.The samosas were good and small and bite size. They were filled with potato and peas. The sauce that came of them was the best part because it was a little sweet and added some extra flavor. The eggplant was good as well. It felt pretty standard for some sautéed veggies. The highlight for me was the curry. Thought I felt the potatoes were a little undercooked, the flavor of the curry made up for it. It was creamy and eating it felt like a warm hug. Would definitely come back!

As a huge fan of Thai food, I was curious to see how a vegetarian-take on this cuisine would fare. It was my first time at an all-vegetarian restaurant, and I have to say, I didn't miss the meat at all!We tried several dishes: the Tangerine Chicken, Crispy Duck Larb, Tofu Pad Thai, and Tofu Yellow Curry. The standout for me was definitely the Duck Larb. It was incredibly flavorful and bright, with a great texture that didn't feel off-putting at all. The mock meat was surprisingly good and added a nice touch to the dishes.The restaurant was very busy on the Friday evening we visited, but despite the crowd, our food came out quickly. It felt a little packed inside the space, but the waitstaff were attentive, stopping by several times to refill our waters and check if we needed anything.One small hiccup was that we ordered the Flower Cups, but they forgot to bring them to us. However, we weren't charged for them, so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, my experience at Plumeria was positive. The food was delicious and satisfying, even without any meat. I can't wait to take some of my other foodie-friends there to try more of their dishes.

Friendly service, lots of variety to the menu. Food is expertly prepared. Loved the crispy tofu larb. Fresh ingredients. Nice to see local ingredients being used in dishes. Enjoy the dark and wood accents in the dining room. Seems like it'd lend to a semi quaint/romantic-like setting if you dined here for dinner. Dining room is much bigger than the encinitas location, so no worries about waiting for a table.

Cannot sing the praises of this place enough! I have been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and can actually get pretty spicy! The noodles and curries are delicious, and the tangerine mock duck is a must. Service is still really speedy for how busy the place can get, and the quality never suffers. You can tell it's a business run with a lot of care and love!

I've been wanting to get Thai food as well as take a friend out for a casual dinner. My friend is vegetarian so I chose Plumeria to accommodate. Little did I know this was a very popular destination for your go to vegetarian authentic Thai food needs.We split the Flower Cups, Tom Yum soup, and Cashew Nut with mock chicken (vegan) as the protein. I've had some mock meats before and their chicken was not too far off the real thing in terms of texture. The Flower Cups were great appetizers and have a filling of tofu, peas and carrots served with a cucumber salad/ vinaigrette. The salad was really sweet so I didn't use much of it. The Tom Yum soup was a bit bland, but included a generous portion of beech mushroom, carrots, and tofu. My friend in addition to being vegetarian, could also not eat garlic or onion and they were able to accommodate even further with us to provide everything to us!To end we got their Cheesecake Eggrolls which I was a little surprised to see such a combination, but it was a good combination. We added coconut ice cream to it and it did help with the sweetness. It was a busy Saturday night as our wait was 30-40 minutes, but I enjoyed my meal even though vegetarian is not my standard diet.

Came by for a late brunch with my friend. There were a few people dining. Street parking is available. They have outside and inside dining. We opted for inside dining, we looked at the menu prior to this visit. Our waitress Pink took our food and drink orders. The food came out fairly quickly and it was super fresh! We had family style dining. We ordered the tangerine "chicken", satay "chicken", spicy noodles level 10 with fried tofu & "beef" and a second order of spicy noodles spice level Zero with fried tofu. The drinks we had were Sapporo and watermelon smash martini (sake base). I wish they had liquor as an option; they only serve wine, beers and sake. The satay chicken and tangerine chicken were super crispy, great flavor and came out piping hot! The satay chicken was marinated vegan chicken; it came with peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Tangerine chicken was topped off with their sweet and tangy sauce; served with steamed broccoli and white/brown rice. Our main entree were the spicy noodles with fried tofu and beef. I ordered a level 10 spicy but it was not spicy enough for me. Spicy noodle was made with wide noodles sautéed with onions, bell peppers, basil and carrots in a chili garlic sauce. My friend can't handle spice; so he ordered the spicy noodle level zero with fried tofu. The noodles, vegan beef and tofu were cooked perfectly with great amount of flavor. For dessert we split the mango over sticky rice, it was pretty darn good! The mango, the sticky rice with sweet coconut milk on topped was delicious. We both enjoyed each appetizers and entree. The staff were friendly. The restaurant was open and airy. They also have bathrooms for customers.

Me and two friends came here a few weeks ago for dinner around 6:30 on a Saturday. There was a little line so we ended up having to wait about 20 minutes to get seated. The restaurant isn't too big but they have plenty of seats. Once seated we were immediately greeted by our friendly server who quickly took our order. I got the basil chicken and Tom yum soup. The soup was honestly lacking in flavor (I think some of the key elements must be non-vegan) but it was still good. I really liked the basil chicken it was so delicious and bursting with flavor. I would definitely come back here again - esp if I have a vegetarian/vegan friend with me!

Nestled in the heart of the city, Plumeria Vegetarian is a true gem for those seeking a burst of flavor in every bite. My recent visit left me enamored with their dedication to fresh, vibrant ingredients and a menu teeming with creativity. The star of the show? Their Spicy Noodles. Imagine a dish where tender vegan chicken dances around with crunchy onions, bell peppers, and carrots, all intermingled with fresh basil. The famous chili garlic sauce they toss it in isn't just spicy--it's a masterful stroke of culinary artistry, adding a heat that's as exhilarating as it is divine. Moving on to the Broccoli Delight, which is a love letter to broccoli enthusiasts. The vegan beef is so skillfully seasoned and cooked that it could easily fool the staunchest meat lovers. The broccoli itself was the highlight for me, cooked to a tender yet crisp perfection that paired beautifully with the rich, savory sauce enveloping it. No meal at Plumeria Vegetarian would be complete without a sip of their Sake Nigori. This creamy, dreamy drink was the perfect counterbalance to the spices of the meal--a cool, smooth finish to a dining experience that was as delightful as it was satisfying. In summary, Plumeria Vegetarian doesn't just serve food; they master the art of vegetarian cuisine with a flair that's both modern and wonderfully indulgent. Whether you're a vegetarian or just a lover of all things deliciously prepared, this place is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
