Man this place was so good! I love Thai food and this place sure did fulfill my cravings! It's a small but nice restaurant. We did sit down for lunch. We waited about 1 min to be seated. I was deciding between pad Thai or fried rice. I went for the noodles. Now, i love spicy and savory food so she recommended me the spicy noodles and boy were they just what I wanted. I went with the Thai hot level and although hot i wish it was hotter. Besides that bit, the plate was large, very tasty, and fulfilling. Great place to visit if you work around the neighborhood since it's located mostly around corporate offices. Enjoy!

Dined here for lunch for the first time from the Bay Area and this place really serves up the heat! Excellent homestyle cooking. The food was delicious, service was excellent and I highly recommend giving them a try. Just a fair warning, I went with 8 on the heat dial and it was fire but in a really good way!

The lunch specials at Spices Thai are pretty good. There's a wide range of vegetarian options one can choose from. I tried the Panang Curry with tofu and white rice along with 1 veggie spring roll, 2 wontons, mini salad, and soup. The taste was spot on and never disappointed me as a returning customer. Also, I tried the passion fruit iced tea, which was just Ok.

This was some of the best and most authentic thai food I have had. I was torn between Spices and the Mexican food place next door, but the amazing smells coming from Spices decided for me. I got the spicy noodle and asked for a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. The heat was nice, but not overpowering, I like spicy food. Also the portion was good and I had plenty left over for dinner. I paid less than 12 dollars for the lunch special and was very satisfied.

Came here for lunch during a weekeday. It was busy. There was still seating. We ordered lunch specials and the food came out quick. The food is delicious and flavorful. Get a thai tea or iced tea with your meal!

At a recommendation of a friend, I picked up some of their panang curry with chicken. It was ready in a few minutes and nicely packaged to take home, no spills! They ask how spicy you want it, based on a scale of 1-10. I asked for an 8, and it was spicy, but not so much that I was in pain or gulping water. The curry broth was savory and delicious. I will be back!

Lunch special is perfect for a reasonably priced under 20$ meal. Friendly wait staff and nice cozy atmosphere. Food is definitely worth a try and a return sometime

I ate lunch special "Thai Fried Rice with Beef". This fried rice was really tasty, so I ate all. 😋 Lunch special includes soup, salad, fried spring roll and fried wonton.

Overall great food and service! For me, I love very spicy food and thankfully Spices Thai can deliver based upon their typical heat scale from 0 to 10. I love to order the Chicken Phad Thai at a spice level of 10 or even higher. The food is always great no matter what spice level you order and with friendly fast service this is a great lunch and dinner spot for me!

I loved dining here. Golden Triangle dish was extraordinary. Be cautious when you are ordering spice level above seven.

After trying Thai food at many places in San Diego, I can say this is the best when it comes to good food at reasonable price. We went there 3-4 times and not even for once I was disappointed for food, service or anything. The place is great and serves delicious Thai food at reasonable price. The staff is friendly and their service too is great. The lunch combo is really great in terms of taste and quantity. You must try this place. I really recommend this place.

First time visiting. Went on a busy Thursday afternoon for lunch. I have had Thai food everywhere from the East coast to the West Coast and I’m not impressed by any of them. I usually give 2stars to the Thai spots that I visit. But I’m giving this restaurant 4 stars because I was pleasantly surprised by the taste on my palette. From their lunch menu, I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and beef (spice level 8). It was the right level of spicy for me which made my heart smile that they got it just right. I deducted one star for the oily noodles. Please try to use less oil. Everyone that I went with enjoyed their order as well. I will return and I highly recommend.

Good place for lunch. We had a reservation at 11:45AM and was sat promptly with the majority of people arrived. My favorite go-to food here is curry rice noodle with a spicy level of 5. I have to say they do the spicy level correctly here. The curry noddle is only on the dinner menu but is a huge portion that I ended up bringing home about 1/2 of the plate.

Lunch specials are great. It comes with salad, soup and rice. You can choose your sauce and protein Only hiccup, i was missing a spring roll in my calamari special.

Food was good as well as the cleanliness and parking situation. Service could have been a little more attentive as there was a lot of waiting for things. Not super friendly either. There was only 2 servers that I was aware of but not that many filled tables so I would think it could've been better. I'd be back though as the food made up for everything

Holly Buderus

Short and sweet: Service was slow. We asked twice for water refills. My guy ordered spicy level 3, and it was too spicy for him. My spicy 7 was no big deal. The food was good but not great. But there's a lot of it at a good price.

Liked thebplace. Tried spicy chicken dumpling - it was alright. But the pattaya pineapple chicken was very good. Prices are reasonable. Ambience was nice.

This was my first visit and my order was wrong and it was ok. But the customer service was great and the restaurant itself was clean. I would recommend them and I will go back if ever in the area again.
