Tap Thai Cuisine - Santa Barbara

This place has the best Thai food in town, and their Thai iced tea is even vegan! The owner is always present and ensures that guests are well looked after.

The vegan options at this restaurant are incredible! The Papaya Salad is delicious, the eggplant dish is exceptional, and the vegan tofu curries are so flavorful. Just a heads up, the dishes can be pretty spicy so make sure to order mild if you prefer less heat.

I ordered curry at this restaurant and was disappointed to find that it contained frozen peas and carrots. I can easily buy frozen vegetables at a store, so I don't expect to find them in a restaurant dish. The lunch special cost $9 and included frozen vegetables, white rice, and a simple mixed green salad. The server also didn't understand what Vegan meant, so I had to explain that it meant no fish sauce, oyster sauce, or meat. I don't understand how this place received good reviews, but I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money here.

Everything at TAP is so fresh and flavorful, I've never tried anything here that I didn't like! They're always happy to make anything on the menu vegan, you just have to ask. Everything is made with coconut milk and soy, and their coconut ice creams are amazing! My favorite dishes here are the Panang (done vegan with tofu and the Glass noodle Salad (done vegan. The Thai iced tea is great too, served over ice with soy cream in a big glass jar. They also have a nice selection of well chosen wines and beers. I can't say enough about this place, just wish they were 100% Veg!

Great service, not long wait to eat comes. absolutely loved her lycheee tea! They are also generous with the amount of pineapple in my fiance. my friend and I agree that they had amazing food!
