Thai Chili - Ouray

We have really loved the vegan options at thai chili. in fact we loved them so much that we eat there twice! highly recommended!

Wow. This was bad. I love Thai food and eat it often and this was the worst I’ve ever had. I ordered the Thai Peanut and the tofu was chewy and flavorless and the peanut sauce tasted like something that should have been poured over ice cream it was so thick and candy-sweet. And absolutely zero spice whatsoever despite requesting it fairly spicy. I may give this place another shot with a different menu item to see if it was a fluke, but only because there are so few options in town. Extremely disappointing meal.

One of the few places with vegan options! Staff knew what vegan meant and changed our orders accordingly. We got the Thai rice curry and the peanut Thai curry. Both were good and the vegetables were steamed which I thought was pretty neat.

In the attached photo you will see the slashes by the numbers indicating the available options that can be made vegan. No fish oil in those.

Unfortunately, the staff did not know what items contained fish sauce and only named a mixed vegetable plate as the only vegan option despite the menu having a Thai peanut vegetable dish as literally the only labeled vegan option. This is the worst Thai place I’ve ever experienced. Food was far from authentic and the staff was rude in addition to not knowing what the vegan items were. I did specifically ask about the Tom Kha soup and was told it had fish sauce in it as well as all the curries and the pad Thai cannot be made without fish sauce too apparently. If you want a hot dinner of broccoli and tofu with melted peanut butter on top this is your place.
