Stopped by here on the way to the house for the first time and this was very good. Pineapple rice and Basil Chicken was delicious. Great little spot near the house with cool decor. Wifey and I will be back again.

Came in here with a mid-size group last week on Saturday for lunch. The place was not busy and we were seated quickly. Service was a bit slow, which wasn’t ideal but we were patient with as it seems like they do a fair amount of takeout ordering.

Where I was most disappointed in our visit was the actual taste of the food. I ordered the drunken noodles which were supposed to be spicy and they had little to no flavor. I’m an avid Thai food fan and typically love how consistent it is but this food was just straight up bland. My buddies who got the same dish as well as a the Pad Se Ew both said the same about their meal. A few of the folks liked their food which is why the score isn’t lower.

Atmosphere wise it’s not a huge place with just about 5-6 tables so keep that in mind when coming in. The design feels a little dated but authentic and was charming. Sadly just given the food I wouldn’t rush back.

4.5 stars- the food was delicious and it was so cute in there! We loved the red & yellow curries. The orange chicken was overall good but could have been crispy. The service was alright nothing to write home about and there was some interesting song choices.

First time coming to this restaurant. It’s a small restaurant close to pacific beach, San Diego CA 5 minutes drive.The restaurant itself clean and very oriented. Like I’m at Thailand. Love the food it reminds me of Indo Javanese food have a little bit sweet yet spicy. We’ll definitely coming back here.

Best tom yum soup we’ve ever had. Also try the half Moon ton they are simply amazing, but that soup is the absolute best.

Was searching for vegan/ gluten-free options, and this little gem popped up. It is tucked into a corner of a small strip mall. It is very cozy inside. They do have limited availability of parking.

I had the Tom Yum with tofu and the Winter Roll. Our server must have known that I like spicy food. She brought the extra hot pepper selection with the soup without being prompted.

This place is a secret hide away with amazingly authentic Thai food.

We have a knack for finding off the beaten path spots with traditional (read fantastic) dishes. This one might just rank top for Thai in SD.

Located next to a yoga spot, and a Taco shop, sharing a parking lot with 7-11, you would not see this place as the Mecca it is. (Did you see there is a parking lot, in PB!?! It’s unheard of!)
But since you got this far in my review, you trust me right?! So yes, next to a convenience store but once you walk thru the front entrance you are transported via all the senses to a quaint , family run restaurant deep in the heart of bustling streets of Thailand.

The decor is ornate and purposeful. A mix of quirky English signage and Thai language, buddhas and shrines adorn the walls. Deep rich colors, shiny bits mixed with natural wood decor, it is truly eye catching.

We eat a lot of Thai food, so we felt like we knew what to expect. But our goal in 2022 is to branch out of our typical choices, so while we were still at Thai, we forced ourselves to order something different than our standard fair. We were SO GLAD we did!

The rice paper wraps were soft and pliable, obviously made fresh! Our first entree was the Panang Curry with chicken, it was delicate and delish! I literally drank the sauce like soup! Added the Hot Basil with beef, which was over the top great. Fresh crunch on the veggies, perfect cut on the meat, and overall flavor was deep and rich without being too heavy.

We had to wrap with the mango sticky rice, because, did you even go to Thai food is you didn’t order the sticky rice!?!
The mangos were perfect, not overly ripe but sweet, my only suggestion was to use less sticky rice 😉 but it’s not really a bad thing to get a giant portion of that yummy gooey sweetness!

This place is a gem, a perfect little spot. Give it a try, you won’t be sorry!

Pro tip: eat at the restaurant! they seem to be using delivery services which overly complicate their ordering system. Other reviews mention similar issues but in person, the customer service was fantastic!

Cool little spot. Menu is alright and prices are steep but thats san diego. We ordered 4 differnt dishes and all were just meh. Little bland especially for thai, barely any seats available so we had to sit next to another couple but when they left the server didnt clean the table. Weren’t checked in until the bill.

Super disappointing based off the reviews. Ordered takeout, 2 Khao Soi’s. They put a whole 3 bites worth of noodles in mine, and completely forgot my friends. And the portions are tiny, like taking home the last bites of your leftovers from dinner-small. Crab rangoons have no crab, just avocado.
