Absolutely wonderful all-vegan Thai food, with a high authenticity factor.We stopped in for lunch on a Friday around 12:30pm, and the place was empty. They have a large menu of Thai specialty items, plus some non-Thai dishes. You can customize the spiciness level to your liking, as well as adding your protein of choice (tofu, soy chicken, soy beef, soy fish, seitan, or just veggies; or pay extra for soy shrimp, soy pepper steak, or soy chicken nuggets). We ordered:-Papaya Salad (spicy; $12.50 plus tax). Wonderfully done, with a quite sweet sauce, but balanced well with acidity and lots of spiciness. The papaya was very crunchy, and was complemented by cherry tomatoes and crunchy green beans, on a bed of lettuce. Very spicy but wonderful way to start the meal. 5/5-Red Curry with Soy Chicken (extra spicy; $15.50 plus tax). Rich red curry with great depth, cooked with a nice soy chicken, eggplant, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and basil, accompanied by brown rice. Top-notch curry. 5/5-Pad See-ew with Tofu (spicy; $15.50 plus tax). This came with perfectly cooked very wide rice noodles, as it should, with tofu and broccoli. The sauce seemed like a black peppery soy sauce that was very satisfying. Excellent. 5/5Friendly and fast service, no frills environment. Decent value for money. Most highly recommended.

Had some good stuff recently at this all vegan restaurant specializing in Thai and other Asian food. It looks like it may have been some dumpy Chinese restaurant at some other time, for sure it doesn't look like a hipster hangout. Vegan Plate has a pretty big menu for a small place like this. Get drinks such as smoothies and boba tea, all non dairy. The food has noodle and rice based entrees. A good thing is tofu isn't the only meat substitute, so it gives a chance to get something else plant based. It has pretend beef, chicken, and even fish. These are mostly based of soy, but these don't have the softness of tofu. Also there's non dairy drinks. It's about $4 for Milk Tea. This comes with boba for a little extra, and they put a lot of boba in this. It was boba in every sip pretty much. We liked this, but the food was the main thing. It's about $16 for the All Day Combo. This is a good way to get a few things. It comes with brown rice, house salad, and spring rolls. Then you choose the combo and protein to go with this. I got the Cashew Nut with the soy chicken. The soy chicken seemed like extra dried tofu that was then marinated in a sauce. Had a pretty light spiciness to it. There was a good a duet of vegetables including carrots and mushrooms. Good enough we have to try it some time again. It has a lot on the menu for a small place. This is on Fullerton near Ashland located close to a few other vegan places, but if you like Thai, you should try here though.

4.5 stars: One of the few completely vegan Thai spots in Chicago, and it was pretty solid! I came on a weekday for lunch and it was completely empty. It's a medium-sized space cutely decorated with holiday-themed, festive decor. The service was very quick and friendly.I ordered the Spicy Eggplant with Soy Beef which I really enjoyed! The staff noted that soy chicken and beef tend to be the most popular proteins ordered, and especially recommended the soy beef. The soy beef was tender and flavorful. The eggplant and veggies were also cooked very well: the eggplant was soft and tender and the veggies were crisp and fresh. I ordered it medium spicy and it definitely packed a bit of spice in there, but wasn't too spicy overall. It also came with purple rice, which was a little hard but good when mixed in with the flavorful entree sauce. Before the entree came out, they also served a small cup of miso soup, but it was a little cold. The dessert selection on the menu looked really good and creative, but unfortunately they only had one of the 5 options available on that day, so we didn't choose to get it. The prices were also okay-- not that expensive but also not that inexpensive (~$16 per entree).

Vegan Plate offers absolutely exquisite vegan Thai food from here to Pluto and back!! I have ordered from Vegan Plate hundreds of times during the past six years, and I have always been overly pleased. They carefully read my order notes, and they often write beautiful love notes on my to-go bags!! My favourite dishes include red curry, green power salad, brown rice, miso soup, tom kha kai soup, tom yum soup, grilled gyoza, and shumai!! Oh!! And they sent me complimentary ginger tea when I had covid. Such a beautiful business with generous portions and glorious gratitude. ORDER FROM VEGAN PLATE TODAY, AND YOU SHALL EXCLAIM, "HOORAY!!"

I love their food. I usually love to get the fried rice, vegetable tempera, and orange chicken. Each of those dishes are delicious. You can't tell me that orange chicken isn't real meat. It's so good. And who doesn't love fried vegetables. The rice is different because it's purple but it taste Oh so good. Best vegan Chinese restaurant that I've tried so far

This warm ambiance small business deserves all the love, patience, and good reviews! The food is always fresh and tastes so so yummy. I recommend everything because the service is awesome, but Kai is very good at suggesting items when you tell her what type of food you're in the mood for! It's near DePauls Lincoln Park campus and not far from the Webster movie theater. I cannot recommend enough!

I walked in here for lunch as a solo diner during my work break and during the week (a Wednesday) and the place was dead. They had a few take out orders though. I told the girl who greeted me that I wanted to dine in and it seemed like she had to check with the other staff in the kitchen if that would be ok; I found that to be a bit interesting. Either way, sat down, ordered a Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle) plate with vegan beef, and it came out in a timely matter. I believe I got a combo cause it came with a side salad and some vegan rolls. I'd say considering it wasn't real meat, the place was pretty tasty. I didn't absolutely love the way the noodles were cooked. They were slightly tasteless, but not the worst ever. I'd say I would come back to try their other things, but this is absolutely a great option if you're craving Thai food but don't want to consume meat nor rely on tofu or veggie options only.
