Contemporary Thai Comfort Food With a Plant Based Range

Thai comfort cooking meets a vegan friendly menu, with mock duck in the mix, at this cozy Manhattan table.

Try the mock duck at Plue.

🍽️ Thai Comfort, Reworked

Plue turns familiar Thai comfort dishes toward a more flexible table, pairing fresh seasonal produce with traditional recipes. Standouts include a fresh Thai salad tossed in chili lime dressing and crispy, well seasoned popcorn chicken with dipping sauce. The kitchen keeps the Thai profiles familiar while most main plates can take tofu, soy chicken, or mock duck, with alternative sauces giving plant based diners room to order with intention.

Inside, the beautifully decorated dining room feels considered without becoming precious, and it stays easy to settle into for lunch or dinner.

Start with mock duck for the most distinctive plant based route, then add the popcorn chicken for anyone at the table who wants meat. The lunch special adds a daytime reason to stop, an everyday happy hour runs until 7 PM, and the broad menu keeps the table generous for mixed groups with different appetites.
