Thien Tam Asia Vegan & vegetarian restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

Just recently discovered this restaurant and was thrilled to have another vegan option in the city. As soon as I walked in, I loved the place for the plants, waterfall and decor. I have now been several times and it has never been loud or busy. Service has been great, fast and friendly. I have adored trying very new foods to me.

I am a bit confused and upset though, as a week ago I ordered the Thai iced tea and confirmed it was vegan. Ordered the drink yesterday and yet today felt nauseous, looked at both the bill, online menu and phoned them and apparently the drink is a "D2 Thai Milk Tea" which is not what I read on their physical menu as I would never order a milk drink. For anyone with dietary intolerances, restrictions, allergies or who choose to not consume animals or products such as milk from an animal, the onus is always on them to confirm at a restaurant what they are eating/drinking. So it is on me for not confirming my drink was vegan (even though it would have been the second time doing so) but if what it states on the physical menu actually does differ from their online menu/receipt then that is misleading. So if you are vegan and eat here... I highly recommend it, just be incredibly vigilant that every item you are ordering is truly vegan (and beware of the iced tea). This is why fully vegan establishments are gold. Vegetarianism still supports the very cruel industry of factory farming and abuse of animals so is not ideal but I do appreciate the reduction in a the chance of accidentally consuming their flesh in a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. If anyone can prove me wrong that their iced tea exists, is vegan, there are inconsistencies in the menus or the "condensed milk" is actually...

After our artist of the family had his 'closing gathering' we headed to the Junction for food. It was 930-ish. One restaurant closed at 10pm didnt want to take us five guests. So we saw Thien Tam and asked them if they would take us at this late time. They were very welcoming, assured us they would be happy to serve us, knowing they would stay late for us. Hieu, a Thai man born in Vietnam was our server. He could not have been nicer. We all asked him for recommendations and he was patient and helped us choose just the right thing. I had the Green Curry, with a kick for sure. It was delicious and came with a side of Jasmine rice. Everyone loved their food. We had the Spring rolls, Mango salad. One of us had the Golden curry, another tried the Vietnamese pancake for the first time. What a huge and bountiful dish. He ate all of it. Another had the Cashew Nut tofu and another had the Pad Thai. The plates were served on pretty dishes. Loads of fresh vegetables, flavored really well. So good. We had lots of leftovers which Hieu insisted on packing up for us, keeping the rice etc separate. The place is gorgeous with brass statues and beautiful decor. Lots of room with tables and booths. The nicest people with delicious food, at an affordable price, served with elegance and down home hospitality. Thank you Thein Tam, and and...

I don't understand why anybody would say the servings are enormous! It's actually the OPPOSITE!!!!!! We ordered, their vermicelli with spring roll, vitamese crepe and Bun Bo Hue. The vermicelli was borderline acceptable serving but the fish sauce is so salty. I don't know what they use to make it vegetarian....I'm guessing MSG cause I left super thirsty for the next few hours. My mouth felt pastie and I needed to constantly drink water. The vitnamese crepes should be eaten as a wrap but they only provided us with 2 small pieces of lettuce. The worst was the Bun Bo Hue. Although the flavour was good, explain to me how anybody, not even a 2yrs old can get full off of 20 strands of noodle! If you're charging 16.95 for this dish, you should give a decent amount of noodle Will definitely not be coming back. Customer service was not great. Never came by to check up on us and when we did call them over, they took forever to come. Not to mention the whole place was empty except for 1 other...
