Cannot recommend this Thai place enough. If it’s quiet, do not be deceived, it is worth going in. Would not go anywhere else in SD for Thai food. Amazing veggie options. You got me craving it now!

Outstanding food. Came to San Diego for a week and went twice. Food is fabulous and the service great and with a smile. Second time we came, they even remembered us. Ordered half the menu in the two trips and everything was fantastic. If you like Thai, definitely worth a visit. If used to Thai food, just be aware they cater for tourists and local market but they will ramp up the heat if you ask. Lovely setting in the heart of the Gas Lamp. Highly recommended. Apologies for photos, it was so good we ate most of it before I remembered to take them

Friendly service and decent food overall. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, which came out to about $25 after tax and tip. For that price, I was expecting a bit more food. The dish ended up being mostly chicken and vegetables, with a relatively small portion of noodles underneath. Not bad, but the value didn’t quite match the price point for me.

Had been to convention center and was walking through downtown .. there are so many restaurants around and we chose to taste Thai food .. this had a good review in Google and we had to try the food here . Ambience inside was good… the place was definitely crowded and it took some time for us to get a seat for 3..
Restaurant was big inside . Lots of tables to sit and eat .. service was the big letdown.. for the size of the crowd they should have had more employees helping the customers.. there was one woman running around taking orders and then going inside to the kitchen and comes back late . Took about 10-15 minutes just to get a beer and a menu card.
food was good .. We had pad Thai and it tasted good.. my friends tried a few other stuff and they liked it . .. I had drunken noodle and it was average . Could have been more spicy and flavorful. Again.. food wise it was good overall , but for the wait time and the service , I’ll give a 3 star . ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very welcoming and helpful in advice. Nice interior and good selection of dishes. Food arrived pretty fast, unfortunately not to the quality level I expected from reviews. The dish was quite warm, but definitely not hot. The vegetables had not seen much heat at all, felt pretty raw. I had upgraded the spicyness level, level 5 is nicely spiced but anything but hot. The desert was excellent though, fresh mango with sticky rice, definitely worth having. And not to forget: very good selection of beers.

The food was okay. I ordered the drunken noodles and they came out cold, while my friend’s pad thai was steaming hot. It felt like my dish was cooked first and left sitting until my friend’s order was ready. Also, all of my noodles were cut into small pieces, but the chicken was barely cut. My friend ordered beef and said it was very tough.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food and service were very good, generous portions. There were vegan options on the menu. It’s in the historic Gas Lamp district of San Diego.

I was just out walking around and looking for a place to eat while my wife is at a conference and wandered by this place. Maybe it’s normal for San Diego, but the inside was not at all what I expected from the street front presentation. I was the only one in the place. I found the decor delightful and the wait staff was on point. I had the red curry, asking them to leave off the eggplant, from their lunch special menu. It was delicious! I may be back later this week with my wife.

This is great Thai Food. Plus, the staff was all really nice and it was quiet with a nice open air layout. I got the Choo Chee duck and it was succulent with a ton of flavor, and a little bit of spice. The sauce was so good i dipped everything else i could in it. The green curry tasted like they weren’t using pre made curry pastes, you could taste all the ingredients in it. Even the appetizers – summer rolls, spring rolls, and chicken satay were done very well. Happy we stopped by!
