The official menu lists a deep fried vegetable spring roll as a starter and has some dishes that could be vegetarian (e.g. vegetable spring roll, Pad Thai with prawns or chicken). The homepage states 'Vegetarian options available'. However, the menu does not clearly mark which mains are vegetarian, and Thai curries often use fish sauce and shrimp paste. Ask staff to confirm which dishes can be made vegetarian.
