Khob Khun Thai Food - Gold Beach

Orders from the menu and it substituted tofu in any dish we ordered. I asked for soy sauce to get away from oysters and fish sauce. Updated by previous review on 2022-09-24

The lady who took our order was very accommodating.

Khob Khun initially seems very vegan friendly with all her veg options (i.e., you can sub tofu for the protein in almost any dish). However, when I asked if the garlic and pepper wok food could be made vegan, the cashier said confidently no. I asked why and had to talk to her about the sauces they use, and she seemed to be confused first, but we reached the conclusion that they can make my dish with only soy sauce. So, while there's nothing explicitly vegan, it's probably the best bet in the city, you just need to be ready to chat with the cashier and just ask soy sauce. The food was great, big portions, and the staff was very friendly.

Despite the reviews I heard it directly from the mouth of the cook that all sauces have oyster sauce in them, even their sweet soy sauce for the padse ew. They were able to use only soy sauce on my meal, but it is basically noodles, vegetables and soy sauce, so not very exciting. Nevertheless, it is something for us vegans in a very non vegan friendly city.

When looking at happy cow in Gold Beach only one restaurant showed up so I was very discouraged to find filling and yummy vegan food. Luckily on yelp this Thai place popped up and we immediately went. The staff/owners were extremely lovely and accommodating. The menu was perfect for making substitutions for more vegan-friendly options and the Panang curry with tofu made my night! We only tried the curries (panang and yellow) but they were both delicious and I'm sure everything else on the menu is just as yummy. When walking around the town after locals raved about the food too, so I know we're not alone in the loving of this truck!!
