“ I was recently in town on business and decided to stop in for dinner—and what a delightful choice it turned out to be. I ordered the Bright Star Papaya Salad and the Kung Pao Chicken, both of which were absolutely exquisite. Each dish was a harmony of deep, vibrant flavors, striking a perfect balance of spice and richness that made for an immensely satisfying meal. The papaya salad was crisp and refreshing with just the right zing, while the Kung Pao chicken delivered a bold, savory kick that lingered deliciously on the palate. Equally impressive was the atmosphere—spotlessly clean with a warm, welcoming energy. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. I’ll certainly return whenever I’m back in town. ”

“ This restaurant is like a treasure in the forest. One of the most flavorful thai vegan food I have tried. I really liked the spicy basil noodles and red curry. And what amazes me is their pricing. In the expensive California they are providing quality vegan food that is delicious at very good prices even cheaper than the non vegan foods. Service and staff is very friendly kind and warm. Ambience is zen ”

“ Our most favorite Vegan Thai Restaurant! There are so many in Los Angeles but we always love coming back here! Great quality of food and service is fantastic too. Love to see all the food being made fresh in front of you! Highly recommend, our favorites are Chicken Satay, Crispy Chicken, Chowmein and all the Stir Fry's. I don't think you can order a bad dish! Everything is so flavorful and fresh. ”

“ Bright Star Thai Vegan is the best hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. I've been comming here for years and the food is absolutely delicious! The fried shrimp is the best I’ve ever had. The staff are very welcoming and kind, making the experience even better. A true heaven for vegans and vegetarians alike! ”

“ Inflation is most disturbing when you've been coming to a place for 10+years, and you see the price increase on your bill. Still good eating though. I've tried 20+ dishes here and I believe the worst thing I had is when I tried to get my veggie meat outside of chicken or beef. Otherwise, delicious. Lentil loaf, wraps, veggie burgers, fries, and that's not even getting to the actual Thai curries, pad thai, veggie chicken sat tay, and pad see ewe. If I butchered the names, I'm not thai, my apologies. Swadee Kap! ”

“ Love their Thai ice tea.i ordered their orange chicken lunch special and it tastes great.my sister ordered their pineapple chicken fried rice with no curry or raisins and I loved the taste. We ordered the spring rolls and I loved them. Overall it a great vegan restaurant. For 2 people I spent $30 I believe. ”
