Which Thai dishes are vegan? At Charm Thai Cafe, you can choose from dedicated vegan noodles, curries, stir-fries, soups and starters. Start with the flavours you enjoy, then request the vegan version so the sauces, pastes, seasonings and egg preparation are right.
Choose a vegan dish by flavour
| What you enjoy | Dish to consider | Our menu version |
|---|---|---|
| Tangy noodles | Vegan Pad Thai | Rice noodles, tamarind sauce, bean sprouts and vegetables; egg omitted |
| Sweet, savoury noodles | Vegan Pad See Eew | Wide flat rice noodles with mixed vegetables and dark soya sauce; egg omitted |
| Chilli and basil | Vegan Pad Kee Mao | Wide rice noodles with fresh chilli, Thai basil, green beans, onion, peppers and bamboo shoots |
| Mild coconut curry | Vegan yellow curry | Coconut milk, potato, cauliflower and onion, with suitable paste and seasoning |
| Crunch and savoury sauce | Vegan cashew nut stir-fry | Roasted cashews, dried chilli, spring onion and peppers in dark soy sauce |
| Pineapple and tangy sauce | Vegan sweet and sour stir-fry | Pineapple, cucumber, peppers, onion and tomato |
Choose tofu or vegetables from the available options. Vegan Pad Kee Mao is marked very hot; tell us the chilli level you enjoy and ask what can be adjusted before cooking starts.
Classic curries and stir-fries include jasmine rice. If you prefer a soup, vegan Tom Yum has hot-and-sour flavours; vegan Tom Kha has coconut broth with tangy lime, lemongrass and galangal. Use the vegan menu guide for the wider choices and the menu for current prices.
What changes in a vegan order?
Ordinary fish sauce and oyster sauce are animal-derived. Standard curry pastes can contain shrimp paste. Suitable sauces, paste, stock and seasoning matter as much as the protein.
Our vegan Pad Thai and Pad See Eew omit egg entirely and use suitable seasonings. Fried rice can also be requested without egg. For oyster sauce stir-fry, request the vegan version made with a suitable alternative to ordinary oyster sauce.
Say the dish name and ask for vegan preparation when ordering. Do not assume a standard dish becomes vegan just because you choose tofu. The Thai food guide explains the wider menu, while the noodle comparison helps you choose between noodle styles.
Starters and meals with friends
Vegetarian spring rolls appear in our vegan selection; confirm the vegan preparation and accompanying sauce. For fillings and other starter choices, read the starter guide.
If some people want vegan food and others do not, give the requests for each dish separately. Decide which dishes everyone intends to share before ordering. Our first-visit guide explains booking and how to plan your meal.
Vegan choices and food allergies
Vegan does not mean free from allergens. Cashew nut stir-fry contains cashews. Massaman paste contains roasted peanuts, although no whole peanuts are added to the dish. Spring roll wrappers contain wheat.
Tell us separately about an allergy or coeliac disease. Our shared kitchen handles meat, seafood, egg, wheat, nuts and other allergens, and we cannot guarantee freedom from cross-contact. Read our gluten-free guidance if you also need that preparation.
