We have a new favorite Thai place in town! The struggle to find Vegan Thai food is real. So many places say they can make items vegan, and then end up tasting fishy or bland. Chon has a dedicated vegan menu and can make all curries vegan.
We started with the vegan spring rolls. They we okay but nothing special. For entrees we had the Thai basil with tofu (mild) and the panang curry with tofu (medium hot). They were both perfect. The tofu was prepared well - lightly fried and firm. Every bite of the basil dish offered a mouthful of flavor without being too spicy. The panang had notes of sweetness balanced with just enough heat to make it fun but not so much that I couldn't enjoy it. The veggies in both were fresh and crisp - not over cooked.
I got a free Thai iced tea from checking in, which was made vegan with coconut milk. We also tried the special vegan dessert of McMahon's coconut ice cream. The iced tea was a little too sweet for me but still good. The ice cream had a nice fresh flavor and I doubt anyone would have guessed that it was vegan.
The service was prompt and pleasant - no issues at all. We will be back!
