While waiting for my car, I spotted a Thai restaurant right in front of the shop, great! I decided to try their lunch special Pad Thai, and I loved it! The meal came with Pad Thai, a crispy egg roll, salad, an orange, and soup, totally worth it! The food was delicious, and they even asked me to rate my spice level from 1 to 10, which I found one hehe.It ended up being my brunch, and it was such a nice experience. The lady was easy to talk to, probably because it was just the two of us dining in, aside from the to-go orders. The place is spacious, indoor and outdoor, has a good restroom. Definitely worth it while waiting for my car, yay!

Came here for dinner around 18:45 on a Thursday with my family. It was not busy at all so we were seated right away. We were provided water right away and given time to look at the menu. I wanted to order the Crab Meat Fried Rice, but they did not have everything to make it, so I went with the Panang Curry with spice level 2. My wife got the Panang Curry level 4 and my mom got the Chicken BBQ Fried Rice. Everything was really delicious and flavorful. The place had lot of decorations and looked clean all around. The staff was quick and friendly. We would definitely come back for more, especially the proximity to our home.

The food was great and all the sauces they had to. I went here with my baby’s brother and mom the people serving us were really nice to my family the food was well seasoned and is definitely worth the money for such a large portion of food there’s not a lot of what you ask for but it’s with it. Definitely recommend

My very first time here, at a glance the place does not look like a traditional Thai restaurant and doesn’t give you the homey Thai atmosphere vibe but none of that matters!!!! The food is amazing I myself ordered the pad see eww with level 6 spicy. As an appetizer I had the chicken satay, that was delicious. Overall I am delighted to say this has become a new Thai favorite on my list!! Sticky rice is a must have and let me tell y’all it’s a 10/10!!!!!

I got green curry and pineapple fried rice! You are able to change your spice level on both dishes and is enough for several servings. Also u can request to have no cashews in the pineapple fried rice :) the green curry does not come with white rice. U must order it. They packaged everything To go with forks and napkins.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. I’ve sampled many of their dishes but especially love their yellow curry and panang curry. My food always arrives freshly made, hot and delicious. The friendly, good-looking staff and owners always welcome me and make me feel at home.

When I asked to change a menu item slightly they were very accommodating. Be sure to ask for a chilly oil.Because it is delicious on food items and it's not too spicy. It just adds extra flavor.

This place is awesome. We were the last one that night to visit this restaurant. The owner was so courteous to welcome us and served the most delicious thai food. He was very welcoming and patiently waited for us to finish our meal. Should give it a try if craving for thai food. You won't be disappointed. Updated on 07.25.2022 Service has been downgraded. Since the admin has changed, it could be the reason. Sorry but had to remove one star😕. Hopefully they will improve their service.

Got the lunch special Thai Pasta with spring rolls, wontons, soup and salad. Very good vegetarian food. Coconut Curry soup with squash was amazing, too bad the container wasn't sealed enough as it spilled all over the place. Pasta felt little hard first but once mixed the curry sauce on the bottom it was pretty good. Wontons and rolls were crispy and not too oily. I will probably grab lunch another time and try their thai iced tea as well.

Food was pretty good. The drunken noodles tasted good. The spicy fried rice was ok. Ambience was ok. Service was good.

The place has really changed. Not the food so much but the inside. Maybe its just me but I missed how it use to look before. Food is still great though which is the important part anyway lol

I ordered eggrolls and chicken pad Thai. Taking off 1 star because the quality of the food did not match the pricing. Too pricey for a Thai food in my opinion. YMMV. Taking off another 1 star because the noodle texture of Pad Thai was subpar compared to the competing restaurant nearby. Food took about 15min, so order before you get to the store. Egg rolls - crunchy - good texture overall Chicken Pad Thai - was not expecting this flavor from the pad Thai dish. I was expecting more “Thai” flavor. - seemed like there were about 80% noodles, 15% veggies, and 5% chicken. - not too flavorful.. so make sure to grab chili sauce or soy sauce to your taste I’m disappointed that Tom Yum soup does not have “bowl” size anymore, only Hot-Pot size so it’s pricier.

The yellow curry was interesting. Not bad, just different. The vegetable option was more veggies than curry base. So that was nice. I was charged an extra $2 for brown rice even though I was not told it would be extra. Overall too expensive for what it is. Hence the loss of a star.

Paid $12 for garlic chicken wings and only received four pieces, about $3 per wing, which is extremely overpriced/stingy. To make matters worse, the chicken was RAW!! Very disappointing experience.

This is the worst thai place. Sadly, I live close by and wanted to try some Thai food. Ordered cashew chicken and it was just completely bland. No flavors at all.
