Vegan House

Love this place. Good for downtown phoenix
Like Buddha delight
Very zen
And they stay open into the evening

We have been began for 2 ½ yrs & always looking for new restaurants that have vegan options. This was unbelievably fresh & the most delicious Thai food we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy! Great lunch sized portion & even the salad was tasty! We will be back, just wish it wasn’t so far from where we live. Kudos to Vegan House, impressive!!!

My goodness, I can’t believe I didn’t discover this place sooner. I do think the name «Vegan House» might be deceiving for some as it doesn’t really have any implications that it is soley Thai. Three words: pumpkin peanut curry. I’m salivating just thinking about theirs. It’s so good! Also their spring rolls are a great appetizer to try– huge and bursting with flavor including mock chicken (I’m usually not a fan of mock meats but I was really impressed with how this tastes) on lovely rice paper.
It would be nice if they served alcohol but luckily they are in a location that’s close to bars to hit up after. Adorable little restaurant and extremely friendly staff. If you are vegan or appreciate vegan options and like Thai food, I think you’ll appreciate this place.

Service here is SO slow… What’s odd is that on the day we went, there were at least 4 people in the kitchen. The dining room was not crowded at all, but we still had to wait over half an hour for our food and it was incredibly unclear exactly what everybody’s job was supposed to be (servers stepping in to work the deep fryers, a lot of casual conversation and standing around, etc). When we asked for our order to go because we couldn’t wait any longer, it took another 15 minutes for the order to come out.
When we finally sat down to eat, the meal was disappointing overall. My salad was swimming in dressing, and my fiancé’s sandwich had way too much vegan mayo spread on it and was very bland.
I am normally pretty forgiving about kitchen delays, but I felt like the situation was not handled well at all. The server we had barely spoke to us at all and took a long time to respond to any requests made of the guests. Additionally, I felt like they kept staring at us and they seemed to be acting weirdly.
In short, I would say this restaurant is not worth the wait. We were very disappointed by our experience.

Fresh, healthy vegan dishes. Prompt and attentive staff. In the heart of downtown Phoenix. Walking distance from arena and Chase Field. Restaurant is clean and bright. Prices are good in relation to portions. Thumbs up!

If there was one thing that I appreciated this place for more than any, it was the two words «Thai spicy.» Whereas most places with potentially spicy food stop at «spicy» this one admits there is a whole other level which should be on all menus. I got medium in peace knowing that it was the second tier of a four tier spectrum and it delivered the promised spice for once in my Thai food tasting life!
I also enjoyed the free soup that I was told came with «pretty much» every meal on their lunch menu during their lunch special. While I found it a bit thin, it hit the spot while myself and my new co-​worker (and replacement) who I was in Phoenix to train waited for our main course.
And what a main course it was! Getting the orange fake chicken at a Thai place was a risky choice. But they made it with such care that the orange flavoring was on every single morsel of fake chicken. And it was a delicious sauce that, while it overpowered the protein, did not make me mind on bit. In fact, the very large bowl of rice they give you on the side ended up being an orangey mess of rice goodness.
Even one that I could not finish. Since my hotel had no refrigerator (but it did have a microwave weirdly enough), I could not take it «home» for a snack but I certainly would have had I been spending my own money and not my company’s,. While the prices here are decent, it does lean slightly towards the pricey side. Not for downtown, necessarily, but overall. Still, worth it.

The reason this place is getting 4 stars is because the food was quite good. The service is horrid! I went in at lunch time and the place was really full, luckily i just needed a table for 1 and I sat down without anybody greeting me or giving me a menu. After 5 minutes of no service I walked to the front and asked for a menu and once again waited. After 15 minutes somebody finally took my order and I waited patiently for some water. No joke 35 minutes later (the restaurant was practically empty by then) me food AND water arrived. This place is great but if you don’t have at least an hour to wait for food go elsewhere.

The food was good and filling, but nothing that made say ooh I really loved that and I want to come here again! The taro appetizer was nice, but I’ve had better fried taro at other restaurants. The dipping sauces were a little lacking in flavor for me. From what I can remember, the dipping sauces were sweet and I would have preferred a savory/​salty dipping sauce.
The curry with dumplings was an interesting concept. I ended up not really liking the dumplings that much. They were filled with some kind of mixture that I can only describe as reminiscent of tabouleh (I don’t like tabouleh). But if you are a fan, definitely go for that dish! Again, the curry sauce was a little too sweet for my tastes. It did have a nice spicy kick which I enjoyed. The black/​purple rice is a nice touch that makes this dish stand out from other curries you might have tried before!
I was worried about slow service, because I was heading to the opera afterwards and other reviewers said it took forever to get their food. However, our food came out pretty quickly and we were able to eat appetizer and dinner and pay our check in less than 45 min! I will probably eat here again, because it’s healthy food that’s conveniently located in downtown. However, I’m not running back there for seconds just yet.

I went recently with friends to celebrate my birthday and we had a very nice time.
I really appreciate the very clean, modern and creative décor — offers an upscale café feel.
For apps we ordered the summer rolls to share — OUTSTANDING! Honestly the best I have ever had — the texture of the nonmeat protein was so awesome, great fresh flavors and the two sauces they serve it with or over-​the-​top good!
For entrées my non-​vegan friend ordered the jungle noodles and loved them. My other friend and I both ordered the pumpkin peanut butter bowl — she loved hers — me not so much :(. I found the dish to be way too saucy and thick for me and my vegetables were overcooked. I hate to send anything back but when I explained to our server she was very nice and apologized that she thought the chef had gotten a bit in the weeds in the kitchen — she quickly ordered up a lighter dish, spicy ginger stirfry I think — The vegetables were cooked crunchy it was light and super delicious — a perfect second try! The purple rice is one of the best offerings, and it’s the standard rice they serve — love it… The portions are big, right on point for what you pay… Nice to have the owner stop by with her baby to see how we were doing and chat with us at our table for several minutes.
I will absolutely be back for some more summer rolls and to try some other dishes — even my carnivore friend said she might give it another try… Thank you Vegan House!

Loved the environment and the food. Definitely love that Arizona is opening more vegan friendly restaurants. This is a hidden gem in downtown Phoenix! Only complaint is that there was only one waiter and it took forever for us to get our food.

There is a house in Phoenix
They call the Vegan House
And it’s been the place of many vegetarians
And boy I know I’m one
I like to first start off by saying I’m not a vegetarian. I came with a friend to try it out since he’s in transition with his diet.
It was chilly Friday evening has we fought for parking in downtown Phoenix. Vegan House is definitely Thai inspired but they also offer up some spaghetti and salad dishes. I was debating whether to order the Clay Pot Chef’s special or the Pumpkin Peanut Butter Curry. In the end the waitress convinced me to go with the curry. Needless to say, I love peanut butter and pondered how the pumpkin part would fit in. However, it worked in it’s own weird way. Peanut Butter fans here’s your kind of meal; creamy and sweet with a hint of pumpkin aroma and taste. I could totally eat just the curry without the potatoes, onions, and tofu that was mixed in.
In the end, Vegan House deliveries good vegetarian food for the downtown crowd. I’m not a fan of Veganism simply because I feel limited sometimes when it comes to selection of meals. However, if it’s your thing then Vegan House will definitely fancy you! — Enjoy!

I was observing Fast of Nineveh. First time here and I called in my order for pick up, no issues. Food was delicious, best vegan food I’ve had yet. Clean restaurant and friendly staff.
Will be coming back and I recommend everyone to try it.

I couldn’t love this place more!!! I just stumbled upon it. Healthy, DELICIOUS, and fast food. Outstanding service and a very relaxing atmosphere. I even loved the music they were playing, it felt like a spa deep within the jungle.
My water came with lemon exactly how I like it.
I went during lunch and ordered the yellow curry lunch special with fake chicken and I added broccoli. YUM!!! Truly outstanding!!!

The food here is amazing! Spring rolls, salsa, noodles! My mom and I loved it! Our server was excellent. The atmosphere is clean, contemporary and friendly. We are getting food to go for another meal. Lots of options! We are so lucky to have this place here in Phoenix!!!

Thank you vegan house for being awesome.
The lady who helped me was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious.
If you are in town I recommend you stop and try this spot out.
I had a hot green tea, the seaweed tofu soup and the Orange tofu with the brown rice. It was so good I couldn’t stop eating it even though I was way past my limit. I didn’t even feel guilty afterwards.
Yum.

Loved this place. Many people think of vegan food as bland and boring. This place delivers tasty food without the meat. Loved the jungle noodles and yellow curry. The spring rolls are also very good. We overwhelmed them on a convention day, and the one lady working there did an awesome job of keeping up. Super nice too. We ate her twice while in town. Def a must go for all vegans looking for some Thai food.

Love love love their food. Very peaceful atmosphere, great server, and great décor.
–parking gotta be paid. Just take the light rail and be adventurous.

I think you can tell by the pictures they did not disappoint. They even used what looked and tasted like black rice. Good flavor and portions by my standards. As I walked out I ask some folks about being regulars and they mention it was their second time. My reply was that it must have been good the first time to bring them back for seconds. They concurred.
I’m thinking there may be days when I drive 20 min and pay for parking downtown to enjoy more of what’s served up at The Vegan House.

A fantastic Asian-​style Vegan restaurant!
This is a reasonably sized place that seats roughly 50 with about 5 booths and 10 – 15 tables. The décor is great. Parking outside is city parking at $ 1.50 an hour. I went on a Sunday night and was seated immediately.
I started with unsweetened iced chrysanthemum tea which was very refreshing. For dinner I had the Buddha’s Delight with soy chicken. It’s a mix of veggies, soy chicken, and their house sauce. It was satisfying and not too overfilling. House sauce flavor was fantastic.
Overall service was very fast and the waitress was very pleasant.

Been dying to try this place & boy am I very pleased! The atmosphere in here is so relaxing. Very clean & modern space.
The service was very good & they accommodated both wheelchairs.
I had the fried rice with salad & soup. The soup was amazingly delicious. Full of flavor! The rice was a little spicy but was very tasty.
I will definitely be back soon.
