Stumbled upon this gem while Doordashing and had to come back and try it myself! The staff was immediately helpful and inviting. The food is amazing. Definitely recommended even as a Doordash option👌

I just went there with my friends today. The food is fantastic! I really appreciate the wait staff. They're super attentive and kind. I especially like their soft shell crab dish, hard to find in a Thai restaurant.

Great portion sizes for the price you pay. Average price you would pay compared to other restaurants. I got the cashew chicken and that sauce was absolutely delicious. Told them I like spicy and they delivered that heat. Some places you tell you want spicy and they don’t really put it because they’re afraid people will send it back for being TOO spicy. But, not here. Will definitely be coming back. Got my bang for its buck here.

Definitely would not have found this place if a friend who lived in the area didn't mention it. A real hidden gem here when it comes to Thai food. I got the Tom Yum soup and it was so warm and cozy and actually so flavorful! Got it with some shrimp and really liked how they put such large shrimp in there. Overall it was also quite the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold and it was very nice going down the throat. Also got the Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls and asked for no vermicelli. I was a very nice, healthy way to get some veggies and protein in. Peanut sauce on the side was absolutely delicious. Also really like the plum sauce that came with. Husband got the Stir Fried Spicy Bamboo with Chicken. It really look like a nutritious meal with all the vegetables in there, including the bell peppers and eggplant along with a bamboo. They also use chicken breast here which was really nice. It came with a side of rice so overall a very nice source of protein, carbs and vegetables in one! Friend got the yellow curry with chicken and she seemed to like it! This also came with rice and she put it straight into the bowl with the curry and it seemed like a good one for sure! They also got the cream cheese puffs to share as the appetizer and I could actually see how well-stuffed they were with the cream cheese mixture! Shell also was really crispy and husband said they were pretty good and that the filling was actually very nice!

Decent Thai restaurant in the area. Usually order takeout, but decided to try a sit down weekend lunch. Not too busy, however they did mention being short staffed. There was one waiter handling all the tables, but he was very cheerful and checked on us. I liked the appetizer plate since it is great for sharing and can try different things. My favorite dish is pad thai and their portions are quite large so I always have enough for another meal. Pad see ew was also good and flavorful.

I had an amazing dining experience at this Thai restaurant. The Chicken Puffs were a fantastic starter, setting a high standard for the meal. The Pad See Ew was undoubtedly the best I've ever had, and the Chicken Fried Rice was equally delightful. To top it off, the Coconut Ice Cream was a unique and delicious dessert choice. The ambience and service were top-notch, making it a five-star experience that I highly recommend.

Entirely found by accident in a small strip mall. It has become one of my favorite places to get Thai food. So far everything I've tried is extremely good

Fantatsic Thai food in a cozy and modern space. The dishes are full of flavor and not overwhelmed with any single spice. We asked for spicy and it was just perfect. Dishes are generously sized and include lots of vegetables. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

The food here is good, though the flavors are a bit mild for my taste. The service was excellent—attentive and quick. We didn’t have to wait for a table, which was a plus. There's plenty of parking available outside, making it convenient to visit.

Overall a good experience. The green curry and soft shell crab are both very nice. The interior looks great. Would be better if the beef in the curry can be more tender. The cream cheese puffs are crispy but the scallion is too strong and covers the cheese taste.

Quite like the food as a native Thai person. I think the food is quite authentic and well done. One note for diners is the portion is American size meaning they are quite big. The duck curry was worth it - especially with the sticky rice which I love. I would come back.

Some of the best Drunken Noodles I have ever had so much flavor. And if you want spice you can get it! The shrimp and chicken fried rice is also delicious. The shrimp is big enough in the dish to be a whole meal. The portions may look small but it is a lot. The fresh rolls with the gummy rice paper are like a bland salad but the sauce makes it so much better. Give this spot a try.

Went for lunch. We were served a complimentary salad. Then spring rolls and we tried the shrimp and pineapple fried rice. Service was wonderful. It was nice sitting out in the back plenty of parking.

Food was average. I have had better chicken satay. The fresh rolls were okay with the sauce. Pad thai was tasty but a little mushy. The server was grumpy and said things like "you can sit outside but there are no lights or heating"... when we asked for silverware (they don't give knife or serving spoons) we got "if you want something tell me at once" that was unexpected! If at all I may do a take out and not eat in there again.

I was treated rudely by the waitress when I arrived and the waiter reminded me about a previous negative review I posted. I lost my appetite and left embarrassed and disappointed. I think I understand now why they’re ranked at 119 in the Thai restaurants in San Diego. Even the Lebanese place next-door is ranked higher as a Thai restaurant lol!
