    This is a Thai vegetarian place that focuses on take out orders. They have seating out in front if you do decide to dine there. I came to this place on a whim without doing any research today because I wanted something vegetarian and healthy. I ordered the stir fry eggplants dish and I was honestly shocked at how good it was. It has an incredible flavor of basil, garlic and spices. Portion may look small to some people but for me it's honestly enough. The flavor was amazing and definitely something I'm going to order again. Highly recommend this place

    So happy that they have extended their hours to 7pm ! I went as much as I could for dinner during their 5:30pm closing times but now it's even better!

    To say I'm just disappointed and sad would be an understatement. Our family has been banned from eating and ordering from them. We have absolutely no idea why and when my sister tried to ask them (even crying because she was already having a bad day), they refused to answer us. Their only reply was that we should know why...if we knew, we wouldn't be asking. We've been eating from them for over 2 years, as shown by my previous review for them. I've even recommended their place to anyone I can and we've ordered trays of food from them for a party. I understand that they're not obligated to tell us a reason and they can choose who to not serve but this was really sad because we LOVED their food. We turned into regulars since I introduced my family to this place. We loved them as well and always thought they were kind people and we've NEVER made trouble at their eatery. We've always tried to be respectful and patient. Their food has always been good to me but I guess we can never eat from them again...

    Wow! Everyone here is so nice and kind. The space is small but the food is so delicious! I also love that they are plant-based. It's hard to find authentic vegetarian Thai food in the area that is so extensive and I'll definitely be back. Their pad see ew is delicious and the veggies are fresh. Dishes are thoughtfully created which is also a plus.

    Little Thai vegetarian cafe on 1st Street...a little hard to find, but turn into the alley right before the restaurant and you'll have plenty of parking to choose from. If you choose to dine in, there is no indoor seating, there are only 2 small tables to eat at out on the sidewalk, so I think most of their business is take out. The lady working at the counter was super nice and was super quick to make sure I had a clean spot to sit at. They have a huge menu for such a small place. For protein, they offer tofu, egg, veggie chicken/beef, and vegan chicken/fish/salmon/shrimp. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but everything looked delicious to me! They even have fusion burgers like the Larb burger. I tried the Yellow Curry lunch special and it was bomb! It came with soup of the day and a drink, so I opted for the Thai Iced Tea (also vegan). Prices are pretty fair for what you get. I left the cafe super stuffed...!! They also do party trays for those who need catering!

    I can't say enough about how amazing the folks at white springs are! The food is delicious, made fresh and are all healthy ingredients. Whenever I get the oppurtunity to order from White springs, my day gets 10x better. You can tell everyone that works there is passionate about what they do, since they do it so well!

    The food was worth the wait. The staff was both friendly and accommodating and even brought us out a free appetizer due to the wait. They added a bar chairs to the counter area to create a new table for us to speed up process. Each meal served was incredibly flavorful and beautifully present (see the tomato flower?!). I'd definitely come back to this restaurant!

    Such a hole-in-the-wall spot here in Arcadia for Thai vegetarian/vegan options! I saw all the good reviews for this place and had to come check it out. Even as someone with no dietary restrictions, I really enjoyed my lunch here! We parked right outside with free street parking although there are also some parking lots around. The inside is fairly small with a couple of seating options and then a couple of outside tables as well, but when we went for lunch, there was only one other party. The worker there was so nice and helpful with recommendations. And the food, clearly it's made with thought and care. I loved the rice they used for the fried rice! Flavor profile was also on point but watch out for the spice! I think the lowest spicy level was enough for me in the mushroom curry. Anyway would highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area!

    White Springs Cafe is a must try for Thai food lovers who want to eat vegetarian/vegan. I was recommended this place a few years back from my friend. After many long years, I finally decided to try it out since I was passing the area. I ordered the Pad See Ew with soy chicken and it was pretty delicious! As someone that loves their veggies, I thoroughly enjoyed the dish. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only a few tables, and counter space for dining. The service was really friendly, as the employee at the counter greeted me, and provided a pleasant experience. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes!

    Fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, so fresh and yummy!

    Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Plus, they were incredibly accommodating to our food preferences and allergies. And omg the roti curry appetizer is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Off the hook!! Come here immediately and feel the love!

    A friend was visiting from out of state and is vegetarian, I have heard of this place from family,…read morebut was excited to try their dishes. We came with a group on a saturday and they were able to seat us immediately - plenty of parking in the large plaza where the Hat and Shiki Buffet is (previously hometown buffet location). All of the items on the menu were intriguing, but I was eyeballin' the salt and pepper one and the fried tofu. My buddy got the lemongrass "chicken" and also the curry with bread. Since we were eager to try the different types of food, we did a family style and that was the best decision. We also got eggplant, and the rice cake/egg. I thought the rice cake looked underwhelming, but our entire group had a consensus and voted that as the top fave of the night. Everything was super tasty and we left happy and full and with leftovers! Super excited to return and to recommend to others. I look forward to come back to try some of the other items such as the "beef" noodle soup or the bun rieu or pho! I also appreciate that some of the dishes came with rice included -we actually ended up with too much rice, but perfect for leftovers the next day. Upon checking out, there was delicious thing by the cash register that was green and resembled a bundt cake in slices. It was labled mochi pandan, and it was AMAZING. so spongy, so delicious and a little sweet. Perfect end of the night that my buddy got one to go right after. It was made fresh and you can tell by how soft it was. I appreciate that this restaurant has vegetarian versions of common vietnamese and chinese dishes. They all were delicious and unique and did not feel too oily or heavy. They look and taste like meat and also the sauces were 100% on point. Thank you Happy Buddha!!

We enjoyed all of them. I was especially happy they had a non-dairy milk for Thai tea - and it was yummy! They served us a surprise dessert of a sweet mung bean soup like dish - that was a nice treat and unexpected.

    I dont go vegetarian often, but this place is a must try. A must try for vegetarian lover!…read more We only got a few items, but everything was delicious! The chicken nuggets were fantastic. I could munch on it all day lol Fresh steamed broccoli was good. I didn't think I would enjoy eating steamed brocs with just soy sauce. A little softer would be nice, but still good. The veg fish was an all time favorite. When I do happen to go to a vegetarian restaurant, I would order it (if available). We all loved the sauce in the fish. Even if you don't like the fish, mixing the sauce with rice would be good. Corn soup was a nice start. The corns could be a bit better, but would order it again. The almond pastry was yummy. We all liked the pastry on top more than the almond milk. It was a bit plain. Will definitely return when craving veg foods.

    Great option for vegetarians! Surprised to find this restaurant so busy on a Saturday afternoon…read morearound 1:30pm. Noted that they had several large tables, more so than smaller tables. Ideal for bigger groups. There were only 3 of us but we ended up at a large table as that was the only table available. We got the crispy chicken with basil, fish with brown sauce and sizzling tofu. I enjoyed the tofu the best then the crispy chicken. The fish I think had five spice seasoning and seaweed (nori) to give it that fish flavor. I enjoyed the sauce on the fish but the flavor of the fish itself was just ok to me. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. Would go back again to try some of their other dishes.

They immediately brought me menus. I ordered the Maderas Margarita and Tikka Shrimp Salad with an upgrade for the garlic naan off of their lunch special menu. They had really fun names for their cocktails. The Maderas Margarita was interesting. The taste of the jalapeno was bold, the way it should be for a spicy margarita. There was mashed mint and cilantro in it. The drink tasted more like a mojito than a margarita. Nonetheless, it was well presented with a jalapeno on the rim of the glass for decoration and the drink was very much enjoyable. The Tikka Shrimp Lunch Salad was full of flavor. There was grilled mushrooms, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella cubes in it. The grilled shrimp was deliciously grilled. The house dressing seem to be done your of Indian spices vinaigrette which was very interesting. I would say that the spice level on this was mild to medium. I enjoyed this dish. The garlic naan bread was served fresh. It was the perfect thickness where you can experience both the crispiness and the soft bread at the same time. The garlic flavor wasn't overpowering. It was nicely done. I would definitely return to try other items and perhaps their happy hour menu.

The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.

We ordered the spicy eggplant, fried mushroom in sweet and sour sauce, house special tofu and orange veggie chicken. Everything was good but we all agreed that the orange veggie chicken and the mushroom sweet and sour were our favorites. Both dishes had the right amount of sweetness and were balanced in its seasoning. The spicy eggplant wasn't spicy at all since they default to making it mild unless you say otherwise. The tofu dish was more like braised tofu in brown sauce but it didn't have any distinctive character. I think next time we will have to try a different tofu dish. The restaurant itself has more of a casual feel. It's not terribly huge so I can see how busy it could get on more popular celebratory days.
