Thai
Traditional Thai/Chinese with many vegan options.
Has many traditional Thai options (Pad Thai) but also serves many Chinese influenced dishes. The food is of very high quality and the atmosphere is dressier than the outside would have you believe. It closes between lunch and dinner so be sure to check the times. For vegans they serve Suegai, Sueyu, and Imitation Chicken.
On Broad St./Atlanta Hwy. It has a gold spray-painted roof.

The only place where I have ever seen the unique vegetable protein substances--Suegai and Sueyu--apparently made by sea lions in california and flown over the continent for the enjoyment of vegans in Athens GA. Sueyu is seaweedy tasting and I don't like it personally, but some do. I recommend Green Curry Tofu, or General Tao's Suegai. The people who run the place are very nice and currate a gallery of drawn-upon napkins for your enjoyment, these ought to be appreciated by glancing up throughout your meal.
The food is good and the prices are not bad at all. I get kinda annoyed with the restaurant people because they hang around a little too close to make you feel comfortable enjoying your meal. Once I was there about an hour before they close between lunch and dinner and they did not let us completely finish our meal before being pushy about us leaving even though they had a while before they were to actually close. So...food...good...service..ehhh...
