Bulan Thai Vegetarian Kitchen

Located across the street from the Silver Lake Erewhon, Bulan Thai has attracted fans across Los Angeles for its massive, meat-free menu and rich, bubbling curries. Soy-based chicken, beef or duck substitutes pepper the soups, stir-fries and noodle dishes, and the deep-fried orange chicken is perfect for anyone craving a cruelty-free taste of Panda Express. When it comes to classic takeout, this is some of the best Thai food I’ve had in Los Angeles, vegetarian or otherwise. While most of the menu is vegan, a few signatures contain egg, like the signature snap pea salad, which combines the thinly sliced veggies, cashews, onions and carrots in a chili tamarind dressing and tops everything off with coconut cream, crispy shallots, dried chilies and a fried egg.
