This cute street in University heights has an interesting mix of Asian-leaning foods. We chose this place to eat more plant-based for lunch. The decor and layout give a shady cool jungle-y feel and the many open windows make the indoor seating breezy. The spicy 🌶️ profiles are true (medium is medium and not mild). We enjoyed the eggplant spicy Thai basil dish the most.

I would rate 6/5 stars if possible, this place is incredible! The food is incredibly flavorful, everyone was so kind, and the atmosphere is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!I’d recommend the fresh spring rolls, Ka Pow noodles with crispy duck, and the spicy noodles.

A FOODIE’S VEGETARIAN DELIGHT🤩🙃😎.It’s authentic Thai flavors with vegetarian/vegan take, although the menu has certain options for chicken or duck, both of which are Thai staples.The restaurant itself is very pleasant. The service is excellent.👍👍Feast with your eyes for a minute, the with your palate. A discovery is the Flower Cups 🤩, lovely presentation and very delicious, complex textured savory bites. 👏👏. Then the Spicy Basil with Tempura Vegan Duck: absolutely heavenly at heat level 5🙃🙃🙃Of course there’s the usual Fresh Spring Rolls starter that comes with 2 dipping sauces: the peanut sauce a delicateness to it and the pineapple sauce has a gentle tang.The menu is short, a very sign of mastery by the chef. And I was not disappointed.

The portions were plentiful and the plating of the food was enticing. Servers were responsive and offered good suggestions.If you are a vegan or vegetarian the lack of flavoring is evident underneath all of the sauce.I get the hype of this eatery and they have a good, trending thing going. And if you are brave theres outside dining and no heaters.I only tried three dishes. Ratings out of 5.Rama w/fried tofu rate 2.5Tangerine with chicken 2.5Fried rice with beef 2.75Flower cups 4To be honest, Ill return because there are a few dishes I would like to try before deciding if this is an overall 3.0 restaurant.Its tight spaces for dining. Im sure no wheelchair or a scooter can fit in this restaurant you will likely be eating outside and if its during the cold months shiver me timbers. The spacing is so tight you will hear others conversations and you cannot do peripheral eye gazes without getting caught.High fivesEvery dish is $13.95Starters are $7.95 or lessServicePrickly Pear MartiniMehFoodThumbs DownParkingTable space between diners

The Thai basil vegetable dish is the best dish I have ever had. Every time I am in Encinitas I have to stop by.

I was in San Diego for work and was brought to Plumeria by a friend who is vegan. I was really surprised by how fresh and tasty all the dishes were. The staff quickly seated us and or so diligent in checking at just the right amount of time with us on what we wanted next and got us the check as soon as possible. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was extremely fresh and the portions were much bigger than I expected. We had to take several containers home.

Y’all Plumeria really has the best fried tofu I’ve ever had. No joke. We came for lunch and split this fried tofu and pad Thai dish. (Ok we also split the chicken satay and spring rolls, we were hungry.) It was SO MUCH food, we took home a ton and heated it up the next day for lunch (it was still delicious then too.)I loved that the entire restaurant is either vegan or vegetarian. It made ordering a breeze! We’ll definitely be back for more.

Had the best vegetarian dishes I’ve ever tried! Vegetarian duck is like no other! Atmosphere is great and staff are super friendly and attentive. Had the fried rice with duck and plum wine which paired very well with the rest of our food. Also had taro shake with coconut milk which wrapped up an overall amazing experience

I am not vegetarian or vegan but this place is so damn good. The duck I had with the cashew nut entree was so good, and I got it 8/20 spicy and it was actually pretty hot which was nice. Also got the cream cheese wontons which were amazing, and tried my ladys noodle dish, also great. Highly recommend.

Ive been to Plumeria many times, love the food, and even more that its vegetarian. My spouse and I were eating red curry, when halfway through she alerted me to a bug in her bowl.At first I thought its a piece of eggplant but looking closer and flipping it I saw that its a cockroach. That was unsettling since it was simmered in the food we already ate. The poor waitress was apologetic and said she talked with the owner and I wont be charged.I had emailed the owner privately which got no response, and checking other reviews, it looks they never bother to respond.Accidents happen but Im not sure the owners will do whats necessary to improve the hygiene.If you decide to eat there, just watch out for any free, non vegan, protein in your dish

Located in University heights. This cute little vegetarian Thai restaurant has a local hipster vibe about it but not in a pretentious way. Im glad we found this place as I was initially having some struggles finding places in San Diego that had good vegetarian options (more than just salad) to eat at.This was our first eatery stop during our visit to San Diego and it didnt disappoint. Prices were reasonable and I like the fact that meals could be rated on a spicy scale. Note to others: a 5 was still pretty spicy and I am a fan of spice .We shared a appetizer sampler and then I got the pad thai and my partner ordered some sort of rice and meat dish. Both were really good. Drinks were also really delightful, as was the staff.

This place is really great. I highly recommend eating here to friends & family. I had the Tom Yum soup and Yellow Curry with vegan chicken. The flavors are exactly as described, the veggies are perfectly prepared, not soggy or overcooked. I enjoyed the way they cut their veggies. It’s very creative and definitely has an effect on the taste and texture. A couple of reasons I wouldn’t give them 5 stars are 1) the water tastes like tapwater, they need a new filter if they’re serving filtered water, forgot to ask. 2) they provide an accessible restroom, however, there is not a clear path to get to the restroom. A 4 star rating is high for me since I am familiar with eating at Michelin restaurants and I rarely give 5 stars. I will definitely go here again.

Plumeria is one of the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants in San Diego. I love the University Heights location. The staff and the environment is super chill and laid back, and it’s literally next door to some cool bars like Lancers, Park & Rec, and Madison.I really love the spicy basil and the cashew nut here. Both dishes are exceptional. Another notable dish is the pumpkin curry. Sounds a bit odd but it’s great. Their crispy rolls are really good as well. I love how they serve their rice in a heart shape.It’s priced right as well! Can’t really go wrong with Plumeria, no matter your food preferences. Definitely a necessary San Diego eatery to try.

Good place for vegan and vegetarians. They have a great variety of options. The food was really good. We tried the thai cashew, yellow curry and thai samosas. The drinks were alright, I wouldn’t recommend them. Overall the food and the options make the trip worth it. You can also spice it up by letting your server know. We tried a 7/10 and it had a decent spice to it.

I’m a meat eater, and even I really loved this place. Sure fake meat doesn’t taste like meat, but most of the time, I can’t stand it… at Plumeria, it was seasoned and cooked so well that I thoroughly enjoyed it.The only thing that was disappointing was the satay chicken (faux chicken), it looked more like popcorn chicken. But I’m being picky now!

Hands down one of the best Thai curry we’ve ever had… and we’ve had them all over the world! And they are vegan! I had the spicy noodle, it was very good too!

This lovely Thai restaurant has a large variety of beautiful and delicious vegetarian / vegan versions of all the favorite Thai dishes, plus some others we had never heard of. I ate here about 6 years ago and have always had a delicious meal ever since. Its in a slightly less crowded neighborhood so parking is not usually too much of a problem. Highly recommend, even non-vegetarian / vegan friends who have eaten here love it.

I love this place. Its always on my must visit list when Im back home in SD. The mock chicken and duck are my favorite proteins. Had a taro tea this time that was yummy & we split a pineapple fried rice & a tangerine dish with the crispy chicken. Great. Consistent. Healthy food. I am not even a vegetarian fyi. Even getting it take out has been a good experience. Parking does suck though, so depending on time of day, be prepared to walk a few blocks.

Been here lot of times. If you are looking for vegetarian Thai place with good ambiance-this is it. Food taste is not always consistent and drinks are but sugary and not that great. Except that- decent place and try during Night time for better experience

This place is my go to spot for Thai Food. My husband loves it! He can’t eat gluten. Plumeria is gluten free friendly. Also it’s really good. My husband loves the pineapple fried rice. I always get the Panang Curry with potatoes. You won’t regret coming here.

The food is absolutely delicious! This is my first time in San Diego and a friend suggested that I go to Plumeria. I had the broccoli with vegetables in garlic and mushroom sauce. It was delicious. I highly recommend it.

Phenomenal tasting food! Crispy, flavorful, fresh, friendly service and the portion sizes match the price point.This is one of the best Vegetarian Thai places I’ve tried so far! They really have the consistency and flavors perfect. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

We dined here and the food tasted excellent. Service was good too. We went there around 4pm for lunch and hence there was less crowd. We could easily get seats. However the ambience wasnt that great.We loved the ginger chai pot and Thai ice tea very much. We loved green thai curry with rice. The highlight of the lunch was pineapple fried rice and basil fried rice.

When we were 1st seated, it was hard to get a server out but once they did, the food came out almost 5 maybe 10 minutes after we ordered and it was delicious. I ordered the Tom kha soup, which was very good and filling (small size) and the Spicy drunken noodles!!!

This is my favorite restaurant in University Heights. I have tried a number of items on their vegan menu and each one of them has left me craving for more. The chef has the unique ability to get the Asian spices to talk to my pallette. The pumpkin and green curries were tasty accompaniments during my recent outings at Plumeria. The flavourful appetizers add to the allure of the restaurant. Reservations are recommended as this place is busy all evenings, even during weekdays.

Average / Over Priced. One hour wait time. I asked for 10 out of 10 spicy . I would say it was a 6 spicy. This bowl was 14$ plus a tip . For takeout. I’m still hungry. Flavor wise it was decent but not the best I’ve ever had. Same with texture. Overall it is over priced . Would be more interested if it was 9$ plus a tip. At this price point I can get two of the best burritos you have ever had, or cook Thai at home for a fraction of the price. Staff was not super helpful.

The hostess at the door was nice but that’s were the niceness ended. There is one older female server here that is very mean and will avoid and ignore you. We were at our table for 2 minutes before the waitress came over. We weren’t ready which appeared to annoy her. She didn’t come back 15/20 minutes even though we made eye contact times. She was standing around and cleaning tables while we sat with no food. Several large tables left after we came in so it was slower. When she returned she acted like she was confused as to why we didn’t have food. She asked if we’d been helped, we said no. She left again and sent another server to take our order. He took the order but she was still the only waiter in our area. She ignored us. She served the tables around us but would quickly walk off after and try not to make eye contact with us. My husband had to get up to ask for service twice. She came to the table once after we got our food to ask if we wanted water. While she was there my husband spilled water. She said she would bring napkins and a sauce we asked for. She left and never came back. 15 minutes later my husband went up to her to ask for the napkins and sauce. She acted like she had no idea what he was talking about. We asked another server who brought it promptly. I could see all the other servers smiling and checking on their guest. The other server we encountered were kind and helpful. The only time anyone asked how our food was, was when they were clearing the plates. The food wasn’t terrible but it was great either. Underwhelming flavors. And they didn’t have much sauce. Only Tamari and chili oil. Ive had much better Thai. I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time. I’m sad the experience was so poor. I won’t return.

Due to the fact there are hundreds of eateries in San Diego, I am very picky about where I invest an hour of my time and money. Im always on a quest to find fresh, quality food, excellent customer service, and a clean environment. This place meets all those standards. I was very pleased. I ordered Pad Thai. I added chicken. I ordered a level 3 spice and it was perfect. Minimal heat and more for flavor. I may try level 4 to take it up a notch. I also ordered fresh spring rolls and thai tea with coconut. Everything was exceptional. I will definitely return to try other options on the menu. Highly recommend.

I have been going to plumeria for last 10 years . Not sure what happened . If they changed cook or what . Big supporter of panang, the dish lost its flavor. I tried others and not that great . But the Thai food restaurant across the street Bai Thai for sure became popular and food is great . I decided to stop going to plumeria !

I really wanted to like this place, especially since we came for my husband’s birthday- but finding hair in my food is never a good experience. I was even more disappointed when I didn’t receive so much as an apology for this unsanitary mishap. The waiter also didn’t take the pad thai off my bill after I complained. If you’re comfortable double-checking each bite for hair, this is the place for you🤢

Pumpkin curry, green curry, brown rice, summer salad = All awesome. Menus looks awesome, cant wait to try all the different dishes for sure. UPDATE: added the banana caramel egg roll, my goodness.... 10/10

Hands down, the best Thai restaurant in San Diego! Must visit! Plumeria is my most favorite restaurant in San Diego! I have been here more than 5 times already and the taste in the food and quality has always been great! You can never be disappointed here as they always get your order right and on time. To find parking around the restaurant may be a little tough, as we need to find street parking.

Review №36

I suggest arriving earlier as there is always a line if you want to eat in. Menu is large, food arrived quickly, portions are good value for money. Favorite dish is the Spicy Noodles with the vegan duck and the appetizer sampler platter. Would return!

Solid 5/5 stars! Exceptionally friendly, attentive service and delicious, flavorful food - my favorite meal in three weeks in San Diego. I had the chikn satay, pad thai with veggies and the phenomenal Crispy Tofu Tamarind – the perfect amount of sticky, squishy and chewy. Plenty of food for several meals – although I gluttonously polished off an inadvisable amount in the first sitting because it was so freakin’ good. And I never say freakin’!! Loads of clearly-labelled vegan and gluten-free items on the menu. Regrettably I made a tactical error in saving Plumeria for my last day, as I don’t normally get this excited about Thai food, otherwise there would’ve been repeat visits for sure. Indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking only.

This place was a good experience! Good food, clean, accessible, parking was not too difficult. The staff was polite and service was quick. My yellow curry was delicious and the spring rolls were the bomb.

I have never given any restaurant a 5/5 rating but this one deserves it hands down!Firstly, kudos to the concept- as a vegetarian, I have to make do with a paltry menu, tasteless salads, and compromising on taste. Not here! Enjoyed every bite, great ambience, and awesome service. A must-visit for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

Some of the best vegetarian food that I have had! I was very full after my meal but wish I could have ate more. Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan, the meat substitutes are quite good. Would highly recommend!

My new favorite Thai restaurant in town! I ordered an appetizer sampler, and the portion was just right for 2-3 people!! We got to have a taste of everything, and they were all delicious! I have a habit of ordering spicy noodles at every Thai restaurant, and the spicy noodles here does not disappoint me! The tofu was good and the spiciness was just right for me (I ordered 7 but I generally eat pretty spicy). The pad Thai is definitely superior than other ones. We also ordered a dessert Bua Loy and we both liked it a lot!

Pretty cool atmosphere but the food wasnt the best.There are lots of great vegetarian/vegan spots around the city and this doesnt hold up to those. Maybe it was just my experience but we did order quite the array of food.

Had the beautiful, delicate and delicious flower cups for an appetizer. Had the rana with 3 beans for my protein, although I wish I had ordered the mock duck as I tasted it on my friends plate and it was incredible. The portions are generous, the staff is welcoming and the food is so healthy & delicious.

2022-12-19 22:40:18

Some of the best vegan food Ive ever had. The tempura chicken larb was so delicious, and you cant believe its vegan or gluten free. The spicy noodles were also amazing, but they gave me heartburn with just a spice level of 3 so the spice is legit. Mind the spice if youre sensitive.

One of the best vegetarian restaurants in San Diego. Everything I’ve ordered has been very tasty but my go to is the Garlic Pepper Mock Duck and the Tuna Flower Cups. Contrary to most Thai food restaurants, the spice level is moderate.

I am not Vegan but the dishes here are so delicious I am ready to convert! I love the pad Thai, the flat noodles and the chicken with peanut sauce platter. I am addicted to your love, Plumeria and will be back for more. I have yet to try the eggplant dish because that’s one of my favorite all time veggies. Love the service here and I enjoy the atmosphere but most especially the food! If I didn’t live so faraway I’d eat here every week if not everyday of the week!

Best Thai food in all of San Diego!! Yes it’s vegan, yes I’m a meat-eater that loves Thai food and will still choose this place over any other option out there! Every person I’ve shown this place to has absolutely loved it no matter if they are vegetarian, vegan or a meat lover. I haven’t brought a single meat-eater here that doesn’t love it. Expect a wait and expect the wait to be more than worth it! The vegan duck is so good and is the closest to tasting like duck out there, please try with any noodle dish. My personal favorite is the pad see ew. They also have sister restaurants, just check their website if you want actual meat but the same consistency in quality of food. Keep up the great work guys!

This is a great vegan / vegetarian restaurant in University Heights. All the food we had was delicious! I didnt care so much for the soy duck that I ordered with my noodles but I am someone who does eat meat. If you are someone who has never eaten meat then you would enjoy the soy duck and soy chicken the other soy-based products. My four friends and I shared a bottle of sake, three appetizers and four main entrees and when the bill was split equally amongst us it only came out to about $20 a person. I highly recommend this place

Vegan thai food with so many vegan alternatives for regular thai dishes. The pad si ew and drunken noodles were amazing. The vegan satay options were delicious as well. Parking was a pain but the ambiance and food quality more than made up for it. Highly recommended.

Had an absolutely delicious meal here. So much good stuff on the menu, I dont think its possible to be bored with this menu.The most outstanding dish was dessert. A spring roll of Cheesecake and banana. And thats saying something as the appetizers platter and main courses were worth coming back for already.

Great restaurant overall! I like that they are vegan n vegetarian. Every time I feel healthy ) I go here . Food never disappoints. Love the Thai iced tea, eggplant dishes, duck salad, and many more . Service can be slow at times but it’s worth the wait . Will be back soon .

Incredible food and service! If youre a vegetarian or even not one you must try this place because everything ordered was made to perfection! Thai samosas and red curry were delicious! And the fried banana egg roll desert was the perfect way to end the meal!

Since we have a curry lover in our family, we were excited to see a vegetarian Thai restaurant on the area. We tried Panang Curry which was one of the best curries we have had. They claim to make it from scratch which seem to be true as it doesnt taste like the Panang Curry Paste you can easily buy. Rama with Chicken was little too sweet for my taste (thats how Thai peanut sauce is, not their fault) but the vegetarian chicken was spot on. It was also glutenfree. Basil fish got the fish taste right, altough the texture is little harder than white meat. Thai tea with coconut milk wasnt bad, it was not as intense as I am used to. Decor is contemporary, service is good, parking is on the street. I would come back and try some other dishes.

I got the pumpkin curry. It was delicious! I love eggplant. I feel like I do well with spicy food but I ordered a six and should have went with a three. We also got the appetizer sampler with the cream cheese wontons. Everything was delicious! The samosas were really good too!

Honestly, I prefer this Thai restaurant to non vegetarian Thai restaurants. You know when you go to a Thai restaurant and you get pad Thai with pork or chicken … and it comes out SUPER dry.. well not here. The food was super flavor and you couldn’t even tell it was vegetarian!! I recommend trying any dish with the mock duck. We ordered pad Thai, padse ew, curry, an eggplant, pa ke map, and the mock duck larb. Really great prices and service as well. Must try!

A hidden gem located near Mission Valley in the heart of the village at university heights offering up some delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes with hearty portions, great prices, and friendly service. Had an absolutely fantastic time here on a Saturday night. The wait around 6pm looked to be less than 15 minutes for parties less than 4 so its a great option if you didnt make reservations. Ordered the Pad Thai with tofu and was blown away by the large portion of noodles. Not a big fan of soy based meat substitutes like tofurky but their plain tofu was fried crispy and a perfect accompaniment to the rich and soft rice noodles. I do wish there was a little more bean sprouts to counteract the richness with some cool, crunchy, fresh pieces sprinkled throughout. Waiter was extremely patient with a party of 4 that wanted to split the payment in an unusual way. Overall, its a great option for vegetarians and even meat lovers who want a break from the traditional proteins of choice. You might be impressed with what this place comes up with.

Loved this place and this dish! The spicy level 10 was incredible. Definitely warmed my cheeks and had me sweating! I was in heaven. I was told maybe I would like spicy level 15 next time.. next time I go I just might! It was a great combination of flavors and the tofu was prepared perfectly. I used the rice to mop up the plate as best I could! Will definitely be returning here :)

Fried rice, spicy noodles, fresh spring rolls, and yellow curry were delicious! Chicken satay was even better! Loved all of it.

Fantastic vegetarian restaurant. The only reason for the 4 stars is that i was not happy with them no longer having eggs for any recipes anymore. I liked fried eggs in the fried rice. Service was decent but i did have to get up and go ask for a little more sauce since couldnt find waitress for a bit. Maybe she just busy in kitchen. Overall great place, i would recommend checking it out and I will be going back again.

Outstanding vegetarian and vegan Thai restaurant! Everything on the sampler appetizer plate was tasty and expertly prepared. We had the spicy Thai basil and spicy noodles - both with vegan duck, which I highly recommend. The vegan duck in the Thai basil dish was more meat like than in the noodles for some reason, and almost indistinguishable from the real deal. The almond joy tart was good, but well likely try something else next time, because it actually tasted like eating the candy bar.

Vegan crispy duck?!? I haven’t had a good crispy duck alternative since I became vegetarian 16 years ago. This was delicious - so was the veggie appetizer sampler!

Absolutely will be returning for this fun and delicious dining experience. I had my first date with my partner here and it was charming and great for a first date. I was not overwhelmed by their menu and their options were easy to select. I love the extra effort they add to make the dishes stand out (such as the different shapes their rice servings have with different dishes). The food had a fresh quality and nothing felt reheated. I love restaurants that put the effort to provide a great dining experience. Anyone can enjoy this vegetarian cuisine and fall in love with the delicious flavors of this Asian inspired restaurant.

I should have taken a picture of my food but I attacked it as soon as it was served! The food here is delicious, fresh and flavorful. The green curry had the right level of spiciness. I can also recommend getting the sampler as your appetizer, this way you get a bit of everything! You dont need to be a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this place, you only need to be a fan of good food!

Wow first thing Im going to say is make a reservation. second thing Im going to say is theres nothing on the menu that is bad. we really loved the Kung Pao with duck out of this world. The pad thai was also pretty doggone good we got it with chicken. And yes when I say duck in chicken I obviously mean fake meat. This is a 100% vegetarian Thai restaurant that is a must if you are vegetarian or even if youre not. We tried the tangerine chicken it was awesome. the yellow curry was great as well as the red curry we added pineapple to the yellow curry got them both medium and like them very much. the Tom kha soup is out of this world Ive had it at Thai restaurants everywhere in California and all I can tell you is this is one of the best places Ive ever had it. For appetizers we had the chicken satay with peanut sauce we had the garlic edamame and it was so good. The beef and broccoli is also good. everyone in our table love their drinks the ginger tea so delicious as is the Thai iced tea with coconut milk. now they have mini desserts to choose from and we tried several of them they were just okay you might love them but for us its our second time here and we are choosing to go to coldstone versus have dessert here. for those who are meat lovers dont fret trust me its worth tasting support your vegetarian friends and, to this restaurant.

The food here is sooo good. I Shared two entrees and a large bowl of soup between me and my partner thinking I wouldnt be able to finish it I couldnt stop eating until my plate was completely empty. This place is ran by the same people they own The Gokden Dragon, Asian Bistro in Hillcrest and its one of my favorite spots with the best meat substitutes.

Excellent vegan food! If youre used to eating spicy food, their 10/10 spice is pretty mild/sweet but its a great spot to bring both vegan and non-vegans alike to try awesome vegetarian/vegan dishes!

2021-12-21 08:24:47

I love Thai food and if you do too, this is a must. if you go plumeria you can find vegetarian/vegan dishes with, in my humble opinion, flavor, presentation and service 10/10. If you ask me I will highly recomend my favorite dish that is the spicy noodle with imitation chicken, but I always order a tangerine chiquen with withe rise as entree and my favorite drink, the Thai tea with coconut milk... Ooh and dont forget the desert, fried banana roll with vegan vanilla iced cream and some agave syrup. Yuuummm Im hungry again.

I was skeptical when my friend chose this spot because I am not a vegetarian at all, but turns out everything was fantastic. We had pad thai with chicken, fried Tofu, and fried rice with mock duck. Not sure what its made of but it was good. Id definitely go there again!

First time visiting here this week on my birthday. As a long time vegetarian its a treat for me to go to an all veg restaurant. I LOVE thai food so this place is heaven. Everything we ordered was good! Thom Ka soup, flower cups, spicy basil with tofu and hubby got yellow curry. Will definitely be back!

One of the best vegetarian restaurant in SD city. Great cozy atmosphere, with warm fires outside for ambience. the focus is majorly on the food though, there can be a wait during peak hours, but they do take reservation. we got the app sampler (tiny flower cups, and samosa was delicious), cashew nut entree with mock duck, spicy basil rice with tempura chkn (excellent!), and panang curry (with regular chkn. I also had the Tom Kah soup which was fantastic. all the food was delicious, and portion sizes are great for leftovers. would recommend for dates, first or anykind. also great for families!!

Big portions, reasonable prices, and AMAZING food. And vegan! What more could you ask? We most recently got the crispy coconut salad and the crispy duck noodle soup and they were some of my favorite things I’ve had here!There are some places I’m scared to review because I almost don’t want other people to know about them… this is one of them! Plumeria is the restaurant we come back to over and over again, I’ve never had anything here I didn’t like!

Amazing food. Finally convinced my boyfriend to go and he was impressed. Pad Thai with crispy duck and Broccoli Delight were the highlight of our dinner. I would also recommend the yellow curry with steamed tofu. And pretty much anything from appetizer menu. Although my faves are the Flower Cups. Unfortunately, I got caught up with our food that I forgot to take a picture of our entrées.

Probably one of the best spots for vegans/vegetarians. Highly recommend the fried rice. All of their meat choices are mock style which isnt really meat but instead vegatables. Im a meat eater, but god damn I can easily convert at this place. It is that good!

This might be my favorite vegan/vegetarian food place in SD. My non-vegan friends go here even when Im not with them because the food is just so good. I love pretty much anything I order from here, but my favorite is the fried rice or spicy noodles with tofu or mock duck.

The chicken at this place is awesome! Ive had a few dishes here. The flavor is usually pretty good (if a bit weak), but the fake meats are where its at. Get the chicken satay. Overall solid place. Spiciness level is also pretty weak, not like the places located in Kearny.

Wow. This place is amazing. They clearly know what they are doing. Every bite was delicious. Very clear menu labeling and tons of options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten free. I had the crispy tofu tamarind, fresh spring rolls, and Spicy noodles. Each was excellent in its own right.

Got takeout and all around was a positive experience; definitely will return to sit-in. Tea was phenomenal and entrees were very flavourful. The soup was a tad off but was quickly fixed to my liking with additional salt&pepper. Serving sizes were reasonable for the price point and are enough to leave you feeling satisfied.

The best vegetarian dishes you will ever had. Will make you forget what meat is!5/5: duck larb2/5: tangerine with crispy chicken + fried carrots, bell peppers - this one was way too sweet. The chicken was good. The fried veggies that I added were overkill.: Broccoli delight w/beef and chicken: Tom kah soup:: Ka Pao w/crispy duck

Im not a vegetarian, but I wanted to detox and take a break from meat. The food is cooked well and the favors are also what you would expect in a traditional Thai restaurant. My taste buds were relatively happy. However, almost all their veggie meat and tofu was deep fried. I left there with a greasy residue on my tongue and a rumbling in the stomach, as if I ate a bucket of fried chicken in one sitting. If youre trying to eat healthy this isnt the place for you. If youre a vegetarian and are looking for pretty good (although greasy) Thai food, this is the place.

Review №125

2018-12-14 06:17:07

Great food, wait staff was friendly and helpful. They have multiple options that are not meat: vegetables, tofu, mock chicken or duck (soy based), and a bean medley as a protein. I had the eggplant dish with the bean medley, and it was delicious.

Ive been here multiple times and havent had a terrible experience, including today. Although, it was disappointing. I waited over 20 mins for my basil fried rice while my friend finished his meal and everyone else around me got basil fried rice. 🤦🏻‍♂️ While I dont typically expect things to be comped, I did have to take it to go and didnt get enjoy my experience. I did appreciate the apology.

I remembered coming there on their opening week over 10 years ago. Their vegetarian food is still some of the best Thai food, but they are always packed these days. Good to see them trending, but its not as simple as just coming in for a bite. If you dont mind waiting in line for a table, then its very worth it🌶

Abolutely terrific vegan and vegetarian menu. Most entrees priced at $10.95. Several choices are true vegetarian dishes which do not require mock meat to enjoy the flavor. I find this type of cooking refreshingly honest and a change from many of the transition foods available out there primarily for the new convert.Personally, I enjoy the flavor of vegetables and, though an ex-carnivore myself, I can honestly say I do not miss the former meat portion of my diet and rarely desire to revisit the food I now know only makes one ill.Raw food chefs offer an abundance of delectable dishes which are purely vegan and, more often than not, very nutritious.If you are seeking a place that offers that option, Plumeria is highly recommended.

Review №136

2022-11-27 06:42:29

I love Plumeria. Its vegetarian which is nice but myself and most people who go arent veg. They just have great food. The only issue is on nights it can get a little crazy and I dont think they take reservations. But its a good sign that its popular.

Great experience! So glad to have found a Thai spot that will leave the sugar off noodle dishes. Both the spicy noodle and pad Thai were delicious.

They are always busy, which makes sense because the food is very delicious! But the wait for a table is never too long.As a vegan it’s hard to find something that isn’t “too vegan” and veggie burgers get old real quick. Plumeria has great options for vegans and the food has that “homemade” vibe! I go here at least 3 days a week :) also they have really professional and hard working staff.

This was my first visit to Plumeria. I can tell you that it won’t be my last. I’m usually a meat eater and have been trying to eat healthier and less meat. Well the vegan sampler was fabulous. The chicken satay tasted like chicken. The samosa were perfect little pockets of deliciousness. Everything was great!

Rama was surprisingly very good. Steamed veggies with peanut sauce served with a side of rice. 👍 Appetizers are very good too. Love this place!5/2023 updateThey changed the Satay to fried chicken. It used to be grilled and on sticks. Fried is not good and it didnt taste good either so I lessened my review to 4 stars for food.

This is by far my favorite restaurant! The mock duck is my favorite! The service is great and the food is amazing! I almost always get the pumpkin curry but the panang and their stir fries, appetizers and salad are good too. If I could I would eat here every day! I have never had better mock meat than their duck! Their house red and Thai tea is good as well.

After having a terrible experience at another restaurant we ended up here for a very pleasant surprise! Great food. Noodles and fried rice were exceptional. I think level 3 or 4 out of 10 on spice level is good if you are hot and spicy liver. Over that will 🔥!Busy place!

Amazing Gluten Free and vegetarian Thai food. Very authentic and spicy. Menu items I ordered were already marked GF in the menu, but when I told her it was an allergy they labeled it and told me they were very careful with cross contamination. It has been a long time since I could have spicy noodles GF and I was thrilled with the flavor and spice, it was a safe and positive GF experience. The staff was very nice and helpful as well.

Great Food, Great Service. Pricing is on point with comparative restaurants. Ka Pow Noodles are fantastic and the Tina Flower Cups are wonderful.The only reason I am taking a start off is that Ive now eating here at least 10 times and ever single time I feel bad the next morning. My wife does as well. We ate here last night and I said if I dont feel good tomorrow, I must leave a review. Here I am at 8am back in the bathroom for a third time.Great food, not sure what oils or whatever, but it seems to be anything we order.To clarify, we dont have food poisoning, just angry tummys and our bodies want it out asap.Just a warning, plan ahead for the next day.

The best VEGAN Thai food around. We are picky when it comes to vegan food, most is too bland or not cooked well. Plumeria hits the mark everytime 10/10 would recommend for kids and adults alike.

Plumeria is a great place to get some quality vegetarian Thai food.My partner and I have been going there for years, our preferred time of day is late lunch because its quieter. The staff are super friendly, theres great outdoor seating options, and theyre always quick to help us.Their vegetarian protein options are some of the best that Ive had, my meat eating siblings are even impressed. The staff have always been accommodating to our customizations such as extra vegetables. The appetizer sampler (vegetarian or vegan) and banana roll dessert with coconut ice cream are some of our favs.

Wow this is the best vegan Thai food I have ever had in my life. It is better than non-Thai vegan food in my opinion. My family thinks so too and they all eat meat. It’s a little bit pricey but totally worth it. There isn’t a lot of room to sit inside. I usually take this out and eat it at home. It’s hard to go anywhere else after you have tried this restaurant. If it was closer to my house I’d be going once a week.

Plumeria is one of my favorite Thai places in San Diego! Their food is flavorful, consistent, and does not lose any quality by being vegetarian. The panang curry has an excellent flavor as does the spicy noodle. We also love the mock duck which is crispy and a nice alternative to tofu!

Wow, great vegan Thai spot. Just stopped by for some drunken noodles and the quality really blew me away. The flavor and deep umami from a vegan dish perspective was impressive. The veggies were crisp and fresh. Tofu was cooked well. I look forward to trying their other dishes soon.

Plumeria is the best veggie place in North Park/University Heights area. I had the tangerine chicken, it was crispy and the sauce light. Lost a star for parking hassle, and trippy millennial clientele.

I loved plumeria but they have really gone downhill in quality over the last four years. Inconsistent and spice also is inconsistent. Always very very oily, spicy noodles are drowning in oil. Also, fried items like the appetizers have a weird old oil flavor pretty often which I don’t enjoy. I like their pumpkin curry, and I like their teas but the food is generally not great. If you’re vegan I’m sure there is more variety but I also feel their vegan options have gone downhill, too.

This food was so good that I literally had it two nights in a row. The tangerine chicken reminds me of the lemon chicken my mom used to make as a kid. Soooo delicious, flavourful and crispy with a big portion size. Doesn’t disappoint and my friends probably wouldn’t have a clue it’s vegan

Imagine going to a restaurant, as a family of four (including a two year old and a 6 month old) and being treated poorly…This was our experience tonight!How unfortunate…Gave this place a solid two stars because the food was actually very flavorful but the service was distasteful to say the least.From the time we arrived, and simply requested to be seated, we were met with a look of distain. I thought, “maybe it’s busy and our server is just tired”…We were then met with an unenthusiastic waiter who looked annoyed more than anything to take our order.When we finished our starter dishes, we asked if we can order additional drinks (mango lemonade & Thai iced tea) once the main dish arrived. We were then told, “we don’t do free refills here” in a snarky remark. We were quite shocked by this micro-aggression, to which we replied, “we know. We were not expecting to receive any free refills by placing a second order…” we asked why he thought we wanted anything for free and he informed us “I just want you to know”. This followed rude comment after rude comment. We asked to be served by another waiter….We complained to the lead/manager who I believe is Sue, she informed us there was a “misunderstanding” However, she too made comments revelatory of micro-aggressions as well.When we tipped with our receipt, I wrote, “please be kind to ALL people”. She laughed when she read it and ignored my family the rest of the time as we packed up the reminder of my food and left.As a POC, this dining experience was giving, “we don’t want you here”…That was my experience…Safe to say, we will not be returning…..

Food was average. Have had better but wasnt the worst. Food was flavorful but didnt stand out against other Thai restaurants. Had hoped for more based on other reviews and ratings but was a little underwhelmed. Parking is a nightmare. Recommend you take Uber or Lyft or go before 6PM. Drove around for 30 mins six blocks away and still no parking. Had the food lived up to the hype, it may have been worth the parking aggravation. Will pass on this location and look for other locations next time. Overall, disappointed

Without a doubt the yellow curry with extra vegatables was the best Ive had. The menu was awesome with gluten-free options. The staff were super polite and friendly. The booths were extra comfy and the restaurant was very clean. It was such a pleasant environment and the small things made all the difference such as the awesome plating with heart shaped rice, pillows in booths, and being attentive.

Larb is amazing, as everyone else has already said. I cant wait to go back for this. The appetizer sampler is great too. We got the hot basil stir fry with jackfruit. Spicy level #3 was a shade spicier than I like so next time Ill try #2.

Came here with the family, got a huge amount of Thai food and some to go, and everything was great --- taste, portion size, service, ambiance --- so we were able to leave full and happy. Highly recommended!Update: Came back again.This is a great place in a cool neighborhood!Everything we had here was wonderful, including the food, service, presentation, decor, etc.The only problem was that I was so relaxed and happy that I ate too much of the yummy food.

There are four main reasons to go to Plumeria in the winter: start with the cheezy wontons, get the spicy ginger tea, then your main is the Zen Soup, large. Finish it out with a Bua Loy while thinking how Anoki has just given your body an amazing tour through Plumeria... San Diegos equivalent to delicious Vegan Thailand Cuisine.

My boss took me there to eat lunch. Neither of us are vegetarians. He went there with his family once and he was pretty amazed with the food on his first visit. He convinced me to go try it, Im glad he did!The food was very good. We had the chicken satay, Thai samosas, flower cups, spicy noodles w/egg and the Tangerine w/chicken. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the food is at this restaurant. I thought that the food would be kind of bland but that was NOT the case at all!I definitely will go back to try some of the other items in the menu.Give them a try, the food is very good! Order the Thai Iced Tea with coconut milk... very tasty as well.Enjoy! :P
