Vegan Journey​

How one family’s visit changed our kitchen forever.

​

Our vegan journey didn’t begin with a business plan or a food trend.

It began with one family’s visit.

​

Around 2022, a young guest and her family came to Bistro 38 because she was craving Pad Thai. While she happily enjoyed her vegan meal, we noticed that her dad had very few options and quietly ordered only a bowl of steamed rice.

​

That simple moment stayed with us.

It made us ask ourselves:

“What if everyone at the same table could enjoy authentic Thai food together?”

​

That question inspired us to learn more about plant-based cooking. We began researching ingredients, testing recipes, and thoughtfully adapting traditional Thai dishes while preserving the flavors and spirit of authentic Thai cuisine.

​

What started with just a few vegan dishes gradually grew into something much bigger. With every recipe we created, our goal remained the same—to make our table more welcoming, so friends and families with different dietary preferences could enjoy Thai food together.

​

Today, Bistro 38 proudly offers one of Oklahoma City’s largest selections of Thai vegan dishes, along with many vegetarian and gluten-free options.

​

We are deeply grateful to every guest who has shared their stories, feedback, and encouragement over the years. Your trust continues to inspire us to learn, grow, and create.

​

Our vegan journey is still just beginning, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.
