Chang Thai: Thai food worth the trip

Most vegans know that Thai restaurants can be a risky venture- fretting about fish sauce is a rough way to spend a meal. Located in Broomfield, Colorado, Chang Thai is the perfect solution to your worries. Vegan owned, you can order anything off the menu with the simple addition of "vegan please". This also makes Chang Thai incredibly omni friendly, creating the perfect pit stop between Denver and Boulder. I have yet to try anything off the menu that isn't stunningly delicious, but I recommend starting out with the Pad Thai. Chang Thai is located at 155 Nickel Street in Broomfield, CO.

Laos Thai Kitchen, I love you.

So, I love pad thai. LOVE it. I will suck down the stuff from the box (you know, the one you nuke for five minutes and then burn your hand when the container spills boiling water due to the flimsy design?) like it is a gourmand's wet dream. So, it should come as no shock to you when I become incredibly excited about the idea of eating pad thai in a restaurant, on an actual plate, without burning my hand.

It should come as even less of a surprise that if the pad thai is actually good, I am barely able to contain myself. At Laos Thai Kitchen, not only can I get the best spring rolls in Omaha, but I can also get myself some freaking fantastic noodles. Pad thai for me, of course.

The first time I went, I went with Alaina and we settled on splitting the spring rolls and the pad thai- no surprises here. I'm not going to say much about the food, restaurant or service because of the fact that I would only be repeating myself. Everything here is wonderful: food, service, restaurant. And yes, the pictures are of the actual food I ate.

As always, be sure to ask about non-vegan ingredients (egg, fish sauce, etc) but the staff is so lovely and friendly that you should be able to obtain all of your heart's (thai food related) desires.

Laos is located at 4520 South 24th Street in Omaha, NE in the back of a tiny grocery store. They are cash only, so be sure to stop by an ATM before you swing by. Thai places are always scary places for vegans, let alone vegans in the Midwest, but this one is fear-free and totally delicious. Try it.
