My boyfriend and I were in San Diego for the day and craved Thai food. We found this restaurant on Yelp, and couldn't be happier with our choice! We arrived and had were seated shortly. We chose to sit outside because it was a nice day and it was really pretty. Outdoor seating had pretty decor and it was very relaxing to eat there. It was during lunch time so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the Pad See Ew and it was my first time trying the Mango Sticky Rice! Both foods were yummy, and I've had a numerous amount of Pad See Ew and this restaurant's dish was very soft and chewy. The service was great, although a bit slow. It was fine though because my boyfriend and I were chatting anyways. I would definitely go again if in the area!

It was a little hard to find this hidden Thai place located near Mt.Soledad. But, nonetheless, we found it, and there was an ample amount of parking. For the appetizer, we ordered chicken satay and for entrees, we ordered turmeric tofu pineapple fried rice and chicken pad see ew. The noodles were nice and chewy and flavored perfectly. The chicken satay was so soft and paired really well with the creamy peanut sauce. The fried rice was delicious as well and the sweetness from the pineapples balanced out the spiciness. The outdoor patio seating area is cute and cozy. Service was nice and fast too. Overall, this place is a must-try hidden gem in San Diego.

Not sure why the review count is still under 1000. This place has been around a while and it's quite popular... or at least I thought it was? Here again after 6 years, quality hasn't changed much. Wouldn't exactly call it the best Thai food in San Diego anymore but it's still very good. I enjoyed the stir fried veggie dish as well as the spicy cod. The pad thai was still a nah. Lettuce with chicken... if you like the sweet sorta taste on the meat you'd like it. Service wasn't bad. The dude server sounded kinda rude though I don't think that's his intention... Kinda cold in the restaurant on the day, maybe add a few heaters would be nice during winter?

This small mom and pop restaurant was exactly what we needed after a long day at the beach. We ordered the drunken noodles, Thai green curry and chicken satay. Service was fast and we dug right in. All of the dishes were delicious and didn't disappoint. You can adjust for the spice levels and it shows as we ordered each dish in levels from 3-7! While you're not getting the best ambiance or anything vastly unique, we enjoyed the food for the price range.

Get the green curry! This is a cute restaurant tucked away in a suburban neighborhood (I thought I had mapped to the wrong address when I arrived). There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, and they have heat lamps. Food: Green curry (5/5): really good flavor, nice portion size, comes with brown or white rice Pad Thai (4/5): really good texture of noodles and good flavor, except it was quite sweet Fresh spring roll (4/5): peanut sauce is so good! The roll itself is just greens and a slice of raw tofu, which was pretty simple but refreshing Thai iced coffee (2/5): so so sweet and had a strange flavor, would not recommend

This is definitely a hidden gem in La Jolla! Do not let the drive there spook you, you are heading in the right direction!! The drive there is all residentials, but this restaurant is in a tiny plaza with plenty of parking and a market. Cute ambiance and decoration. The seating is outdoors - feels homey and Christmas-like with all the lights wrapped around the trees. The food was delicious and came in big, sharable portions. They have you rate the spice level 1-10. Unfortunately, our server did not speak English well and kept insisting to give a rating of 1-10 on spice level. I tried a level 5 on my tom yum soup and that gave it the perfect kick! We ordered: tom yum chicken, fried egg rolls, chicken fried rice, and vegetable pad see ew. The soups are served in individual portion sizes, rather than the large sharable bowl most Thai restaurants traditionally do. If you are ever visiting San Diego, stop by this delicious restaurant!
