A dedicated 100% vegan Thai eatery on Ponsonby Road, Khu Khu builds its sharing menu around plant-based adaptations of classic Thai flavours, avoiding animal products without leaning on bland substitutes. The kitchen pairs organic Tonzu tofu, vegan duck, and plant-based beef chunks with house curries and street-style sauces. Standouts include purple kumara glass noodle spring rolls with sweet carrot sauce, battered tofu drizzled in peanut satay, a hearty red curry with vegan duck and pineapple, and tender vegan beef curry simmered with potato, red onion, and cashews. There are also Bangkok-style purple fried rice, crispy eggplant with lemongrass and basil, and dumplings stuffed with shiitake and cabbage, alongside gluten-free and allergen-free alternatives.
For weekend outings, they run a Bottomless Experience featuring ninety minutes of bottomless drinks and a chosen dish for \$69 per person as at 2026, alongside themed platters for two tailored for sharing. Located along the central Ponsonby dining strip, it offers a vibrant, music-filled setting that suits casual group dinners and plant-focused diners alike. Our pick in Ponsonby for punchy, plant-based Thai sharing plates.
