Pat's - Kingston

I love Pat's restaurant! The best Thai food I've ever had. Always very consistent, fresh and flavorful. Very accommodating to vegans

I love Pats. It was recommended to me by my real estate agent when I moved here 10 years ago, and has been my go to ever since. Sure, I tried a couple of other recommended spots, but the sense of family, great service, and huge portions are incomparable. My husband and I can easily order one dish to split and feel more than satisfied. Definitely not at the top of my list for healthy food, but there are very few take out options that fill that bill. Be specific about the vegan requirement of your meal if you require them.

The only thing on the “vegetarian” section of the menu that isn’t vegan is the green curry (which has shrimp in the green curry sauce)! You definitely need to get the tofu spring rolls with the vegan “fish” sauce though — so good!

Pats is one of my favourite places to get a cheap and filling vegan meal in Kingston. The portions are huge good value, and always tasty, and the staff is very helpful in pointing out the vegan options.

Had the spicey tofu dish under the vegetarian section of the menu. The staff said the entire section was actually vegan, not vegetarian. What a happy surprise! When I ordered, I had the expectation of getting something similar to the Chinese ma po tofu one of my favorites when I was a meat eater. However the spicy tofu at Pat's was completely different. It was a bit sour, a bit spicy, and VERY sweet. Even as someone who grew up eating sweet and sour Thai and Chinese food, I didn't like the taste. The texture of the tofu was really good though. And although the tofu and rice were soaked in a heavy, oily sauce which I didn't like, I could still taste the freshness. Service was superb. There were a couple flies wandering near our table.
