Vegetarian & Vegan Thai Food in Downtown Kirkland
Our owner is vegan, so plant-based Thai food is close to our hearts. Almost every curry, noodle, fried rice and stir-fry on our menu can be made with tofu or vegetables, and our rolls, satay and desserts are plant-based.
At Hanuman Thai Cafe, we understand the importance of providing delicious, plant-based options. Our commitment to vegan cuisine is deeply personal: our owner is vegan and believes in the positive impact a plant-based diet can have on our health, on animals and on the environment.
Whether you're a long-time vegan or just discovering plant-based eating, we want to give you a great dining experience that doesn't compromise on taste, quality or compassion.
