Creative vegan Thai near London Bridge with excellent flavors and friendly service, but expect noise at peak times and occasional service slips; best when you book and lean into the noodle and curry dishes.
Plants of Roselyn delivers vibrant, satisfying vegan Thai cooking with standout curries and noodles that justify its loyal following near London Bridge. However, occasional blandness and flavor variation across visits, combined with documented allergen-handling lapses, prevent a higher grade despite warm, generally attentive service. Worth visiting for creative plant-based Thai, but peak-time pacing issues and tight seating upstairs require managing expectations.
On Tooley Street by London Bridge, this spot hums with lively energy and a cozy, plant-forward vibe. Servers are often warm and welcoming, and plates land fast at lunch, though peak dinners can bunch courses. As one diner put it, the flavors feel like a little trip back to Thailand in vegan form. The cooking leans modern Thai with clever plant-based swaps—mushroom scallops, plant chick'n, and prawn-style toast—resulting in vivid curries and noodles rather than stagey tricks. The culinary approach leans contemporary and produce-driven: creative reinterpretations of Thai staples with a few regional detours like Khmer and Sumatra-inspired curries. Order confidently from Pad Kee Mao, Hummingbird Tofu Curry, and the Smoked Sweetcorn Cakes to play to the kitchen’s strengths. Families can do well here, especially at lunch or downstairs where it is quieter and calmer. Kids tend to gravitate toward Pad Thai, cashew stir-fries with jasmine rice, and mango sticky rice or coconut ice cream for dessert. Portions are reasonable for central London, but note the bustle and close tables at peak times if you need extra space for little ones.
