I love that I came here even I felt bad because I came last minute around 8:10 and they close at 9 they were really respectful and they didn’t mind to give us really good service, the place was so clean, the food was delicious, specially the plate I got, I would recommended coming to this place ! And people don’t forget to leave tip since the people in the kitchen and the waitress (the girl) are really hard workers!

Service was fast and friendly. I ordered online, but they didn’t get my order. They made it really quickly for me, in just ten minutes. Everything was delicious. Large portions. I’ll be back to try a few more items!

Pictured: Satay Chicken, Panang Curry (with chicken), and Crispy Calamari.
Service was great, only one person working for dinner doing to go’s and dine ins. Didn’t get her name but she was very friendly!
Ambience was very cozy.
Panang Curry was amazing!! I was asked for a spiciness level between 1-10 and I chose 6. It was spicier than I thought it would be but still great flavor. Crispy Calamari was good. Also comes with fried veggies. Satay Chicken was also good.
Will be coming back!

Seated immediately and served meal shortly after ordering. Friendly staff and attentive. Stir veggies spice level 1 and pineapple fried rice with crispy pork, very good (no spice). Pork a little chewy. Will return. Calamari and veggie appetizer ok.

Small restaurant with big flavors. Single waiter managed 3 tables with ease. The Salmon seared with crisp on outside of skin. It was hot and tender on inside. The sauce was spicy with chili powder. I kicked up spice level. Definitely worth a visit.

This is my favorite go to restaurant for curry. I’ve had all of them paired with their mixed rice. If you go between 12 & 3pm they have a great lunch deal with soup, salad, creem cheese wonton and a main dish

Restaurant was clean & welcoming, no old musky smells nor anything offensive. Gentlemen at the desk was customer service oriented and generally friendly and polite to us and to others as we could tell. He definitely welcomed his repeat customers with a smile. The food was fair, nothing to write home about nor anything to encourage me to return. Appetizer of Chicken satay presentation wise was basic, rinse repeat on the bed of lettuce and with peanut sauce and the pickling of onion and cucumber. The chicken was rubbery, it was not rustic to align with fresh chicken that had been marinated and cooked thoughtfully. It tasted like a skewer of rubber was put on a stick and made to look edible, it was not the best, felt like a cheapened dining experience , i really wanted it to be good but it wasn’t.
The Thai Spring Rolls, Awful, small, Burnt They were cooked in OLD vegetable oil that you could smell and taste— that was extremely not delicious and they were also deliberately served burnt. I say deliberate because the server man and the lady in the kitchen cooked them, plated them and brought them to the table. That is deliberate and diabolical poor service to place them on table and want your customer to consume them, it screams of NO CARE. If you have no consideration for your product, why are you serving food? Each plate deserve maximum attention. . The Pad See-Ew, vegan, again, basic, boring, not memorable. If you are unable to create a favorable experience with vegetables then there should be some review of your culinary knowledge and skills. The noodles were basically doused in a sauce. We know the mix of veggies was not expensive to obtain yet there still was no care to ENSURE that everything had an expanse of flavor that would make it not only smell wonderful but be an appetizing treat to the palette, if done well, this was not done well, again NO CONSIDERATION, this meal was served with rote practice, it’s when you fail to lend your attention to the details that you bit by bit can come up short, don’t rest on your laurels even if you get somewhat high marks, exceed expectations always!!! Needless to say, . OVER 90% of the food was left on the plate uneaten, that should have been a clue to the staff IF they were attentive versus just wanting to ensure they got money for a subpar dish. Clearly money was more important than you asking if there was an issue with a dish. Duly Noted. The spicy Thai Fried Rice with shrimp, was generally hot but carried NO depth of flavor, or left anything to savor or be excited BY. Again, when you make the basic extraordinary, IT SHOWS. Your kitchen has gotten into a rut!!. Again basic ingredients + rice + shrimp, carrots and the result was boring basic uninspiring flavor, it was just hot, that’s not a successful dish. Kinda disappointed after spending well earned money but it’s a chance you take. Overall, I wish I would’ve gone to another Thai spot in La Mesa, but went here on a local suggestion and ended up with a stomach ache at the end of the day. I would really encourage this owner to brighten up the menu, spend time creating quality flavors like you actually care about what your customers are going to experience , like it matters not if you give people huge portions IF it’s low grade and subpar, you’re wasting my time & yours. And also a gentlemen’s asked for some simple sauce at the counter in a small cup and you haggled over money — regarding giving him some complimentary sauce—- like somethings are part of superior customer service and when you engage with lack consciousness, it’s this types of practices that make you seem miserly. Never again for me. NEVER AGAIN.

The lunch special comes with a very good super and salad. Remember that when picking apps. The satay had curry on it and was super delicious and piping hot. The peanut sauce was warm too which was a nice touch. The fresh rolls were decent but didn’t come with the same peanut sauce as the satay which was a bummer. I ended up just using the satay sauce which was really good.
Entree: got the spicy noodle (drunken noodle) special and it was really good. I’d give it a 4.7 (would have like bell peppers, and the portion was pretty small). I asked for an 8 spicy and they ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. Very impressive. Usually if you ask for an 8 it’s more like a 4 because you didn’t ask for a 10. But this place hit an 8 perfect.
