Amazing. Their food is authentic and flavorful and the portions are generous. The staff is very friendly and he food came out quick! We had the Panang Curry, Phad Thai, and Thai Sausage. We’re from North County and will be making the trip here often for our Thai fix.

Been going here since pre-covid and so glad it is still in business to this day. The best Thai place around. I have been trying various Thai places around North County to try and expand my options, and end up disappointed because they simply don't compare to here. Their basil noodles, spring/egg rolls, curries, are amazing. Their "pad see you" is unmatched—truly I have not had one anywhere close to as flavorful as here. Same with how they cook their tofu—it isn't deep fried prior to the dish so it absorbs all the flavor of the sauce and isn't sponge-y. I never order tofu except for here. The Thai tea is spectacular, I sometimes go just to get some. The only thing not too special is the boba. I like how soft it is, but its less tasty than other boba I've had. The boba is just extra though, not a staple to the restaurant, so its forgivable in my opinion. If you prefer less chewy boba though this may be the thing for you. I have brought many friends to this place to introduce them and they have been blown away. Some have come back here all the way from downtown because they enjoyed so much.

Excellent Tom Kha, full of veggies and Very tasty. Excellent service. They have Boba as well. A year later and I can say that the (Thai) Green Salad here is off the charts!!! Healthy, beautiful greens and plenty of goodness! The cost and quality are the absolute BEST in town. I love this place.

This little restaurant is a treasure. We had the Thai coffee which I highly recommend. We also had the cheese wonton appetizer. Best I have ever had. We also had the pad thai and yellow curry. The food was cooked to perfection. Staff was very helpful and our lunch came quickly.

Authentic Thai food made by Thai chefs! The service is thoughtful, prompt, and the owner deeply cares about the quality of the dishes. If you’re looking for excellent Thai food for dine in or to go - I’d definitely try this place!

We decided to try a different Thai restaurant in Encinitas last night and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered chicken Pad Thai and mixed veggies with brown rice. The flavors were fabulous. Their brown rice was excellent. Friendly service too. This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in North County!

My "Pad See You" was very good, the lunch portion included soup and an egg roll. The service was prompt and pleasant. Upon arrival on a cold January day the front door was propped open. As a result the seating area in the restaurant was cold. The interior atmosphere is blah. The noise level was reasonable, it permitted easy conversation.

I wish I could give them a 3.5. We’ve been eating their food for over 10 years. Post Covid, the quality of the dishes is very inconsistent between meals. It seems like a chef problem. Sometimes it’s excellent, sometimes it’s just “meh”. Our go to is Pad See You with beef. This last order was terrible. We asked for spice 3 and it was way too hot and the noodles were overcooked. The green curry is somewhat more reliable being delicious. Do better.

It is actually ok. We did order 2 appetizers, not so great for 10 dollar each. ( plane chicken wings and greasy Thai wontons). On the other hand, the Pad Thai was good. Although, little or no protein in it. Would I come back? I wouldn’t.
