Bulan is a Thai spot in Silver Lake that serves some of the best vegan food on the Eastside—walk into their tiny dining room across from Erewhon and you’ll be instantly greeted by the smell of bubbling curry. Their massive menu includes pad thai, satay, and tom yum soup, all made with soy-based chicken, beef, or duck. The crispy, deep-fried orange chicken is spot-on tangy and sweet, and the duck curry is a whirlwind of red bell pepper, red chile, and lemongrass that never fails to cast a spell over us.
