"Whenever someone asks us where to get vegan Thai food near Thai Town, we usually send them east to Bulan in Silver Lake. Walk into their tiny dining room across from Erewhon and you’ll be instantly greeted by the smell of simmering curry. Their massive menu covers takeout staples like pad thai, satay, and tom yum soup, all made with soy-based chicken, beef, or duck. Our go-to items here are the tangy-sweet, Thai-style crispy orange chicken, and the creamy red curry amped up with basil and lemongrass." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
