Delicious vegan food and cute heart with the rice. Atmosphere was nice and we had a lot of great delicious options - red curry with veggies and curry. We love the atmosphere here delicious food with 100% go back. The only pain can somewhat be the parking but the day we went there was an event so there was limited parking in the surrounding area. The service was really great. They were nice. My only complaint is I did have to wave somebody down to finally get my check but all in all very great experience and we love all the Vegan options. Would love to come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Changing star rating after server/kitchen error. Order vegan veg tofu "flower cups" , 1st item on top of menu but they served the "tuna flower cups" version. They looked and smelled very fishy, too tuna fish-like for us. Complained to server and pointed out several times on menu what I ordered and the difference between the two. It was as if they were trying to convince me they were the same, seemed like they didn't want to go the trouble of remaking them, but did after I insisted. Much better. Also mentioned we were there for a birthday but they did nothing special food-wise, no embellishment to plate nor complementary dessert for birthday person which was a bit disappointing considering many places do. read more

The Fresh spring rolls were oddly chewier than what we normally experience at other Thai restaurants. The Mango sticky rice was ok, but not the best. Those were the highlights of the meal. The fried Tofu was a black-hole of flavor. Nothing. Null. It said fried, but it was just rubber with no flavor at all. The Panang Curry also had Tofu in it, but even the curry did not taste life Panang curry. Hot-ish as advertised, but the flavor was underwhelming. My daughter had an eggplant curry with Tofu. Also without flavor, and my wife also had a dish with NO flavor. Just, wow. How did we end up with a full on combination of what I would consider Thai fundamental with NO flavor. We ate all of the spring rolls and about 2/3rds of the mango sticky rice... I Never leave uneaten food. I love leftovers. Respectively, We ate no more than about 20% of our meals. We left it all on the table. No take-home. No left-overs. it was that bad. read more

It was the perfect overcast Encinitas day, perfect for a warm bowl of soupie like goodness. Overcast, but warm made outdoor seating perfect. Friendly staff service was great. I had the panang curry with a side of white rice and spring rolls. Peanut sauce was a hit and went perfectly with the spring rolls. My panang curry was absolutely delicious. They didn't ask for my heat level, but it was done perfectly. Im not a vegetarian but I loved it. read more

Plumeria on 101 was amazing! I recently tried the Plumeria in University Heights, so I was excited to try the one here in Encinitas. Needless to say, this one was just as great. Food: I ordered the Panang curry with boiled tofu, and it was so flavorful, warm, and comforting. It was a bit too spicy for me (I should have asked for an adjustment), but I definitely recommend. My friend and I shared the spring rolls (the peanut sauce was warm and very flavorful) and the mango sticky rice (one of the best I have - sweet and salty, creamy). Service/Ambiance: My friend and I went when it was a little less busy and it was raining outside, so we were able to sit inside! Service was great - very kind, attentive staff. And the inside of this place has very cool decor - great ambiance! Vegan: Overall, this was a great place for vegans/vegetarians and meat eaters alike. They had mock meats for meat eaters and those who are curious to try, but also had options for extra veggies, tofu, and chickpeas/beans. Will definitely bring my vegan/vegetarian friends here. Excited to come back and try different dishes! read more

I really liked the restaurant and the food here. Service was nice and we (party of 7) all got our food quickly. Food was delicious and everyone really liked what they ordered. Portion size is great and is ideal for family style dining. We got the appetizer sampler (not pictured) and all of it was pretty good - especially the Satay Chicken). Pad See Ew with the vegetarian duck and the tom yum was delicious. Drinks were also really good - Got the Thai Tea with Coconut Milk and Boba. Especially liked the fried bananas and coconut ice cream, that was super good.

I have always wanted to try Plumeria as it is thai food AND added bonus is seeing their recipes as vegan! Sometimes certain restaurants add more "fishy" flavors and Im a bit more sensitive/picky with flavors but this restaurant kept the traditional flavors/taste and I definitely prefer Plumeria's flavors better :3 I got papaya salad to share with a friend and we both got the spicy noodles. The papaya salad is amazing - well coated with the lime juice and spices. We ate the whole thing. The spicy noodles was really good! It reminded me of pad see ew and I do love wide rice noodles. We sat outside at their patio so it can be noisy due to the traffic of cars but it was a nice sunny day. The server was super nice and attentive. I cant wait to come back and try more items! read more

I love this restaurant!!! Whether it's eating there in their cozy restaurant or grabbing it to-go, you will be so happy to eat here. They use organic, healthy ingredients and provide so many healthy options. It's refreshing to see a restaurant that actually cares about their ingredients and how they prepare the food. I love their pumpkin curry with tofu and vegetables. I also love their spring rolls, soups, and pad see ew! Even if you eat meat, I PROMISE you will absolutely love this plant based restaurant. You need to come here!!!! read more

Love this place. Great food, service and ambience. The crowd is very cool. The wait staff are knowledgably and kind.

we had a great experience dining here for dinner! parking is a bit difficult as it is in a busy area, but there is a parking lot with free 1 hour parking two blocks down. they open at 4:30 for dinner, and that's around when we came, it got pretty busy later on so i would recommend coming early! we started with the fresh spring rolls, which were delicious! they were crunchy and paired well with the peanut sauce. i always order spicy noodles, so i had to try them out here. we got a medium (spice level 3) and it had a nice kick to it, so i would be careful if you're someone who doesn't eat spicy food. the fried tofu was done well, and the noodles and veggies were about what i would expect. the highlight of the meal was the pumpkin red curry! i am not usually a big pumpkin fan, but it was a nice variation to your typical thai curries and was so flavorful! the tangerine chicken was also delicious, it had a nice balance between sweet and citrusy, and so crispy!! service slowed down a bit as it started to get busy, but they were very friendly. i will definitely be back! read more

Great food, cool balcony -- but absolutely terrible service. Plumeria has amazing food and a really chill, beautiful balcony setup, it's such a shame the service completely ruins the experience. The staff are not friendly or attentive, and everything comes out painfully late. You can tell they're trying to cut corners by running the whole place with about two and a half servers, which just doesn't work when it's busy. If they fixed their service and hired enough staff, this place could easily be a 5-star spot. But as it stands, the vibe and food don't make up for how frustrating it is to actually dine here. read more

Ugh I could not get enough of this place!! I'm not gonna lie I was a little skeptical to come because it was vegan but I came anyway with some friends. Immediately upon entry it smelled soooo good. I ordered the panang curry with tofu - SOO good. I'm very picky with my panang curry bc it's my all time favorite dish but they did such an amazing job. My friends had the pumpkin curry which was also so delicious and ka pow noodles and she added imitation duck which was just a very fried/crispy tofu Both dishes were delicious. I unfortunately don't live in the area but I would love to come back one day and I would Recommend this place To anyone read more

One of my top favorite vegan thai restaurants in San Diego! The staff is amazing and extremely kind. Some of my favorite dishes are their spicy basil fried rice (a must get!!) , panang curry, yellow curry, spicy noodles, and their tom kah soup.

They no longer serve spicy food and they lied to my face about it, after I'd ordered and paid. I will not be coming back. I'm not giving my money to people who won't give me what I ordered and paid for. Worse that they couldn't be upfront about it. Shame, they used to be my favorite. read more

Location is right in the heart of downtown Encinitas. Friendly staff work here. Casual and simple dining indoors or outdoor seating. I went with the pumpkin curry with steamed tofu and brown rice that came shaped like a heart. Ample portions. It came medium heat by default and had a good amount of heat yet not overbearing. I added a touch of the made in house chili oil yet proceed with caution as a little goes a long way since this packs some serious heat. Flavorful curry with plenty of veggies. I really enjoyed my meal here and recommend coming here! read more

Plumeria - Spicy eggplant with tofu!!! Amazing - Thai Near Me - Encinitas, California

Plumeria. Pretty name and nice restaurant off South Coast Highway and D street in Encinitas. Definitely busy on a Sunday given the open Moonlight Marketplace that takes place simultaneously. Had to do a couple of circles to find parking but the positive is that it's a beautiful area to walk around even if you park far. Was seated outside during an overcast/humid day. There is shade and enough space for me to fit my stroller in addition to a table for 2. Was seated and greeted immediately. Various food options esp for vegetarians. Friend got the spring rolls and I opted for the Thai tea (with almond milk) and fried tofu pad Thai. Came out quickly and beautifully presented. Was extremely flavorful and they did not shirk on quantity. All the dishes that came out of neighboring tables looked pretty and made my eyes turn into heart emojis. Thai tea was tasty as well. Was told it was freshly made each morning. Will definitely come back and try neighboring restaurants as well. read more

I've been to the other plumeria location and have always like their food. My friend and I were strolling around the Encinitas area around 4pm and since there is not a whole lot to do aside from eating, we decided to pop in and share a dish or some apps. After looking at the menu, we went for the pad Thai with mock duck but the male server expressed dissatisfaction on his face when we ordered only one dish to share a dish at 4pm. I'm not sure why because the pad thai costs $17.50 which is more than the average price charged by most thai restaurants so we are already paying a premium mid-day when it's not lunch or dinner. The pad thai was good and it's a decent portion to share when you're not hungry and just finding a reason to snack and hang out. The interior was lovely and the place wasn't busy. read more

We celebrated a Retirement/Bon Voyage intimate gathering here in May 2024. It was perfect! Made reservations for a party of 7 over the phone for brunch on a Monday. We were greeted upon entry and everything was delicious. From start to finish: Each dish ordered had a distinct flavor than the next. No two flavors were the sale. We started with a sampler appetizer. I was not quick enough to capture an image, it was quickly devoured soon after it was placed on the tableThough each of us ordered different and individual entrees, we shared a few bites from each other's plate. Loved the purple /black rice served with each entree (though you can also opt for the white rice). Service was excellent. Our water cups kept full. Serving sizes just plenty to satiate the appetite. Table service excellent. This is a MUST try for those searching for a yummy eats!! I would definitely return!! read more

Our FAVORITE Thai restaurant in CA, hands down! Not even exaggerating when I say everything tastes sooo good here. Veggies are fresh and crisp, and proteins are tasty. We first came across Plumeria in San Diego and fell in love. And were beyond thrilled to find the same establishment in Encinitas! Got the: 1. Rama (peanut based sauce) with extra veggies 2. Panang curry w/ the bean mix (what an amazing & unique concept.. wish more Thai places offered this as a protein option) 3. Pad See Ew noodles (w/ rice noodles & fried tofu) 4. Eggplant dish w/ fried tofu Everything comes with a choice of white or brown rice. The person at the counter was very helpful and suggested the best protein options based on the dish. We requested everything to have mild spice and it was made to perfection! The panang curry had a slight kick to it, but we had been forewarned about that by the wonderful lady. The menu is extensive. I craved food from Plumeria when I was pregnant -- THAT'S how incredible it is. Haven't been to the SD location in a while but glad to have found this gem here. Here's a request for the owner: PLEASE open a branch in LA. Given the quality and taste of your food, the restaurant will thrive! read more

We were here on a weekend for dinner. First of, place is small with limited seating and very popular with regulars and locals. Better to make reservations. But service is quick so we were seated with little wait time. Plumeria is a must for Vegetarians/ Vegans. We tried quite a few things and everything tasted good. What we had - Thai Crispy Roll - 5/5 A must IMO. Flower Cups Crispy Tofu Tom Kah Soup - 5/5 Absolutely delicious! We will go back to Plumeria just for this. Pad Thai - Good but the rice noodle was really really sticky Pumpkin Curry Really nice and cozy place for couples, small families and groups. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident. We've never tried a vegetarian Thai place before so we were a little confused on what to get. The employee was very friendly and happily explained each part of the menu and also recommended us a lychee iced tea. It tastes amazing. It doesn't taste like the super sugary syrup that other places use, it tastes like real lychee fruit. Super refreshing. We decided to get the appetizer platter because we wanted to try a bit of everything. SO GOOD. We both have a shellfish allergy and never get spring rolls because many other places add shrimp. It paired really well with the peanut sauce, we also paired the peanut sauce with the fried tofus as well, scraped the container clean. The flower cup exceeded my expectations. I wasn't sure what "served in a flower cup" meant, but it seemed to be fried, and it was really crispy. The cucumber salad was very tangy and refreshing, exactly how it should be. We started scooping it with a spoon towards the end. We ordered the yellow curry with tofu, and the cashew nut with chicken. The employee brought us a small container of chili oil, and we opened it to smell, it smells good. If you ever made your own chili oil, or you've ever had exceptionally good chili oil, you know exactly the smell. It's actually spicy, none of that Americanized supermarket chili oil. The yellow curry was really tasty, it wasn't artificially thick like store brought curry. It had an extremely rich flavor to it, and I love that the potatoes were cooked just right. Not too mushy, not undercooked. Firm but malleable. The cashew nut tasted amazing as well, the peppers had a mild sweetness to it. The portion size while it looks small, is actually a lot. We ate in silence, not stopping at all and kept putting more food in. Absolutely stuffed. Service was amazing, we were checked on a few times throughout our meal to make sure everything was ok. Each time the employee came over, we nodded and gave him thumbs ups because we just always had food in our mouths. Would absolutely come back to try more of their menu. read more

Having loved their original San Diego location last trip, we were excited to try their second location in Encinitas. We were not disappointed. My wife & I visited for lunch. Almost all dishes are vegan, and all mains are served with a choice of vegan protein. We split the penang curry with vegetarian duck ($17.50) and the rama with vegetarian (steamed) chicken ($17.50). We asked for the curry to be 5/5 spiciness and the rama to be 4/5, and were given a disclaimer that they actually do Thai spiciness -- awesome. We went for it and were very satisfied. The curry was incredibly richly flavoured, with endless depth and complexity, coming with plenty of bell peppers and carrots, and wonderfully prepared, slightly crispy vegetarian duck. Scintillating. The rama was also very good, served on a bed of steamed mixed veggies and steamed chicken, with plenty of spicy peanut sauce poured on top. Fantastic as well. Each main is served with white or brown rice, so you don't have to order more. Service is exceptionally friendly and quick. The place itself is beautifully designed, Simply some of the best vegan/vegetarian Thai food out there. My highest recommendation. read more

Delicious if you are vegetarian or vegan. Went with my international dining group. We all enjoyed our food, so got to sample several items. I had mock duck which was crispy and delicious. Husband had spicy rice whose protien came from two kinds of lentils. Not sure what was in the flower cups but they were light and crispy and so cute. I did try a bit of vegan cheesecake. It was just ok, I felt it was gritty and artificial tasting. But the person that ordered it liked it. Great location on the coast highway in Encinitas. We parked a few blocks away but a pleasant walk. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, with good service would go back. read more

I love this restaurant. Great vegan and vegetarian selections to chose from. I tried the spring rolls with tofu. This was unique since they filled it with brown rice instead of white rice.

All choices were delicious! read more

It was absolutely awful. The other location is so much better. Up until now I've always gone to other location because I can't eat gluten. I asked for a dish and asked if it's gluten free, they said they can make it gluten free ( they never had to make it that way before, it just came without gluten). Anyway, the fish came with no sauce, no flavour, it was just noodles with veggies and oil. Do I said this is flavourless. They refused to take it back. I stood my grounds and they took it off the bill. I feel like the quality here has become really bad, the service is awful. read more

This restaurant is in a popular spot where there's a lot of restaurants and stores. I came here not knowing it was vegetarian.

The mock meat was surprisingly tasty, I would recommend the fried duck for your dishes and chicken. read more
