Red Curry Vegan Kitchen — Restaurant in Flagstaff

Hmm... I really don't get all the 5 star reviews. We are on vacation here in Flagstaff and wanted to love this place since we are vegan and read the reviews here. However, the place was grungy, several of the tables were literally taped together with silver duct tape, and the food was awful. There was a terrible sewer smell coming from somewhere, and when I asked about it, they blew it off like it was no big deal. I was actually frightened of the food. There were no other customers the entire time we were there during lunch hour on Saturday.

I have never written a bad review for a vegan place, since I support the cause, but this place needs to get their stuff together.

Maybe we are spoiled since we live in San Diego and have great vegan fusion food choices, but the "lemongrass" soup smelled horrible and I got up the nerve to taste it and I had to send it back. When I asked about it, the server said I should add more hot sauce to "bring out the flavor". The pad thai noodles were brown and lifeless. They also tasted weird.

So, if they could maybe clean the place up, throw some coverings over the tables to make it look decent, get rid of the sewer smell, and have food that doesn't smell and taste bad, this place would be great. PS: The server was very nice, helpful, and we felt...

The owner needs to wake up. This concept of vegan Thai was been done quite successfully in many cities, yet this location lacks flavor and is all around underwhelming which can be felt in the food. Being quite disappointed in the entire experience, I needed to look at the reviews. As I’m reading another review about how bland the food is, the server comes up and asks if everything is ok. In the kindest way possible, I let her know that either the cook, management, or the owner is incredibly delusional. I told her I’m reading bad reviews and feel sorry for them because this is an amazing location and they’re producing subpar food. She said she had heard bad things about the appetizer I ordered but was surprised about the new item I ordered. (There’s nothing special about this curry). I could feel the server was taking my comments personally and let her know to tell the owner to get educated about their own cuisine. I just feel so bad for them, and hope they can find someone to help better understand the...

The food we got was absolutely delicious, I'll give it that for sure! It came out pretty quickly once we ordered and the server was very nice. While I am not vegan, I like to eat a lot of plant based meals and really appreciated finding a conveniently located place with good options! It is hard to find usually!

However, I was disappointed that they were sold out of pretty much every single appetizer when we were there. It was pretty early on a Monday night and we couldn't get veggie rolls, samosa wontons, or tokyo rolls. I believe two menu items were also out but can't remember which, just remember that my friend struggled to pick something because literally everything she was interested in was out. Dunno if that was just a fluke after a busy weekend/unable to get needed supplies/etc or if it is a common problem though, but I travel a lot and literally studied food systems, so I go to a lot of restaurants and have never seen a whole white board list dedicated to telling customers what they are out...
