The sign on the wall states due to staff shortage times food/service may be delayed - Our service was amazing and the food came out quick, very hot and absolutely delicious. *beef drunk noodles and padthai tofu Our server "Ponie" was quick on the jokes and had a great sense of humor - she told my wife there was no to-go boxes and had to finish her meal. We will absolutely be back with friends!

What a wonderful Thai restaurant in the heart of Oceanside ! Delicious ! The portions are more than ample, and heat iis spot on to what you want. Good downtown vibe,

Great food! We are vegan and asked them if they could make it vegan, which they accommodated. Very friendly service. And the food!! Some of THE BEST vegan Thai food I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

Delicious authentic Thai food! ⭐️ My favourite dish goes to the Drunken Noodles which was so incredibly flavourful. We had it medium spicy which was perfect. ⭐️ Their fresh roll’s dipping sauce was also notable, very nutty and creamy. ⭐️ Mango sticky rice is a must try! What a great way to end the meal 😋

Nice little place. HAD the soring rolls, duck curry and drunken noodle. I prefer duck at medium doneness. Other than that everything was great, and they have a.c. Service was nice, atmosphere is inviting. Would be back if in the area again.

Really good food and very nice staff. Definitely going back ASAP! We ordered the Green Papaya Salad and the Spicy Vegan Rice Balls, amazing! 🤗

All our dishes were great! The beer was amazing! First time I ever tried Thai Beer. We had dinner here and we sat outside by choice. Nice little restaurant. Love supporting small businesses. This is only my second time ever having Thai. I highly recommend this place! A few blocks away from the ocean!

Our food was incredible, the service was fast and friendly, and I couldn’t recommend this place more. We ate outside on the covered patio. The yellow curry with mock duck I ordered was some of the best Thai food I have had.

I wasn't in the mood for Thai, but my friend & I wanted to eat somewhere with options. I decided on this place, & it ended up being a good choice. I haven't had mock duck in a long time, so I went for the Panang Curry with mock duck. My friend thought it sounded good too, so she went for the Green Curry with mock duck. I think the mock duck was spot on (but it has been a LONG time since I had actual duck, so take my word with a grain of salt) We both enjoyed our curries & the fried rice balls. It also was such a vibe eating outside near the ocean. I almost felt like I was on vacation. The restaurant was clean, including the restroom. The service was great. The food was good. I highly recommend this place if you have a group of friends that want non-animal & animal-based options.

Came here b/c I was feeling a bit under the weather and because they have soups. Their soups didn't disappoint. I had the TomYum soup with chicken, omg such great flavor. Everything in their menu looks good, fresh and savory. The soup was definitely fresh and full of flavor. And if you're really feeling under the weather, this is going to clear up all that sinus but order it with a bit of spicy 🔥.

We are visiting from Arizona. My wife love Thai food. Chicken gyoza was amazing. The sauce was delicious. I have chicken fried rice and my wife had yellow curry. Everything came out fresh and hot. Amazing service.

Amazing food. A little pricey but worth it. I only had the curry and sticky rice. But it was top quality

Amazing food. The sign said they would behave slow service because they were short-handed, but they didn’t miss a beat either time we went. We would eat here every night if we could!

Everyone in our party raved at the delicious flavors in their dishes. We had curries stir fries and noodle dishes. Everyone was thrilled. We had a large group on a busy night but service was very attentive. Hope we get to come back!

I was amazed how good the dinner was last night at this restaurant. I had never been here before, but I had one of the best Thai dinners I’ve ever had. Mixed vegetables with fresh ginger and chicken. It was incredible. Service was friendly and fast. Nice outdoor patio area to watch the local scene.

This place is one of the best Thai food I have ever had. I must have spent nearly 15 years in this area and have seen restaurants come and go but this one has stood the test of time. My favorite go to dish at this place was Island Curry with chicken and cold Thai tea. If in the area, check this place out. You won’t regret it!

Good, not great gluten-free entrees. One curry and one vegetarian dish hit the spot, was flavored well, but did not come across as overly fresh. Yes, we arrived at the end of the lunch hour, so please take that j to consideration. The streets were also busy, so it was loud for us.

This restaurant is close to the beach, it has outdoor sitting. It looks and feels nice. Dimly lit inside, can be a good place for a date. The food presentation is also very nice. Now, the taste of food is rather average. It’s not bad, but it’s not something you’re going to be impressed with. We stopped there because we came to the beach and it was close to where we parked - it worked well given the circumstances. But it’s not a place I’d specifically come to.

The lunch atmosphere is very good along with the price. I had the pad Thai. I thought was good. But strange to me to ask to make it spicy. A pad Thai by default is supposed to be very mild and balanced with tamarind. I think the spice made it taste a bit strange. Wish there were more options as well. My friend had the red curry. Sadly it made her very sick afterwards. Not sure why. But might just be her stomach. They were short staffed so it also took a long time to order. But the servers were very nice.

Ambience and restaurant from inside was clean and on point. I ordered Tom kha and panang curry. We ordered spicy level of 10 and it came out at spicy level of a baby. The server said there will be chilies on side but there was mostly vinegar in it the ones I like.

I've been here 3 times and the food has never disappointed. Including the first date of my partner and I, which was 5.5 years ago. The dishes were very yummy. Service was okay. The atmosphere was because we sat outside and could enjoy the people watching in wacky Oceanside just off of Hwy 101. Would recommend. Will be coming back.

I rarely ever leave negative reviews, but I felt compelled to take the time today because my dining experience at this restaurant was remarkably bad. From the moment we walked in, the servers’ attitude was cold and dismissive. Not once did we receive a smile or even a hint of warmth. The service felt indifferent and unwelcoming throughout our visit. We initially sat at a table for four (we were two people but preferred to sit beside each other). However, we were told that table was reserved for larger parties and were directed to a small two-person table where we would have to sit across from each other. Soon after, we noticed two other couples seated side-by-side at four-person tables, so we politely asked if we could move once one became available. When we were finally seated at the table we had originally chosen upon entering, the ventilation above was blowing cold air directly on us, making it very uncomfortable. To make matters worse, there were crumbs and pieces of food on the floor beneath the table that we stepped on. We asked to move again to another four-person table that had just been vacated, but the server seemed visibly annoyed and told us we had just moved and that the table we wanted was reserved for the owner. The owner overheard our conversation and came over to ask what was wrong. We explained our concerns about the ventilation and the dirty floor, and thankfully she allowed us to move — but by that point, the experience had already soured. As for the food, the Baton shrimp was good, but the Pad Thai was bland and disappointing, especially for a $19 dish. The yellow curry was also missing the green pepper we had specifically requested to be added. Overall, this was one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Between the cold service, unclean seating area, and underwhelming food, the overall experience was indifferent and disappointing.
