Family-owned and operated with heart, Samata is more than just a restaurant; it’s a soulful experience deeply rooted in the concept of Samatha – the calming of the mind through focused concentration.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the difference. Warm, welcoming, and refreshingly unpretentious, Samata Vegan House radiates peaceful energy.

Let’s get straight to the star of the show: the vegan wings. With bold varieties – Hot, BBQ, Tom Yum, and Garlic – their soy wings are simply unparalleled. The best vegan wings in Los Angeles – no contest
Samata’s menu is as generous as it is health-conscious. Every dish is prepared with intention, reflecting both Thai culinary roots and the family’s commitment to quality ingredients. Craving comfort? The House Fries with vegan parmesan and the Chicken Nuggets with BBQ sauce are playful and satisfying. And tofu lovers will be delighted by the Garlic Tofu and Tofu Crisp, offering depth of flavor and textural contrast.
From their curated “Samata’s Favorites” section, the Hell Fire Chicken brings a bold, spicy thrill, while the Khao Mun Gai – crispy soy chicken with ginger rice – is a comforting classic elevated with vibrant sauces. The Teriyaki Chicken, served with steamed veggies, feels indulgent but light, reflecting the kitchen’s balance of flavor and health.
Samata’s curry selection is an aromatic playground. The Panang Curry and Avocado Green Curry stand out—creamy, rich, and beautifully layered. Pair with sticky rice for full effect. Meanwhile, soups like the tangy Tom Yum and the indulgent Coconut Soup bring depth and spice to every spoonful.
The noodle game is equally strong. The Pad Thai is fresh and peanuty, while the Pad Kee Mao and Drunken Udonsatisfy spicy cravings with fresh herbs and fiery brown sauce.
Even the salads here are stars. The Crispy Chicken Larb Salad and Tofu Larb bring traditional Thai heat and herbaceous brightness. The Avocado Salad is refreshing and dressed to perfection with a zingy ginger vinaigrette.
Don’t leave without dessert. The Coconut Ice Cream with Banana Roll is both comforting and exotic, a creamy, tropical treat to end your meal with joy.
