Tiny place with a HUGE flavor.
We tried the eggplant stir fry with shrimp and we got a colorful and delicious dish. The green curry was also delicious and the Tom Yum soup very flavorful. I can’t wait to try other dishes. Everything is packed to go, but we could not wait and ate on their tiny deck outside and enjoyed the Thai iced coffee as well. It is strong and sweet. Try it.

Hands down the best pad thai I've ever had. I like to think of myself as a regular here and I don't go anywhere else for Thai food. The workers treat me so well, and they know my order and modifications. Although I don't know his name, the Asian man with glasses is the sweetest person ever. He knows my voice as soon as I say I want to place an order over the phone.

It's a tiny place with a couple of tables off to the side outside. The inside looks clean and tidy. And the food is so good!!

This spot is a walk away from my work, i’ve gone here a few times but this time i got the pineapple curry…THE BEST OHHHHMYGAWD this food was so delicious! please eat here 10/10

Me and My wife absolutely love the food here. Every time we order we always look forward to eating their food.

We love coming to Thai Fresh for yummy Thai in Chula Vista. It's a hole in the wall with a table or two to dine outside, we usually order to go. The food is fresh and full of flavor, portions are good and the prices are great. Evenings can be a bit busy, try to call in your order to minimize the wait. We frequently order Panang tofu, chicken larb salad, crab fried rice, pad sew w/tofu ... Everything is wonderful!

It is a hole in the wall restaurant! The mom and pop place is always the best place to eat at! The food is amazing! Home cooked and everything! Very affordable! Awesomeness!!

Dont be decieved this is the best thai food in town, really.

Excellent, fresh food. I suggest calling ahead for your order since it's made fresh and take time. I recommend this place!!!

Literally the Worse Thai food I've ever had. Chicken wings were dry and hard, noodles were sweet, the worst food ever! Gave the rest to the dogs.

The man that works here kept my card and ran it up… There are several charges on my card after he conveniently kept my card and charged me twice. My card was declined at another business and I checked my recent transactions and all charges occurred after using my card at this business. This business should be ashamed and the guy should I be fired!!! He kept my credit card knowing he was going to take down the info and use it.

Today’s order could have easily been disastrous. I requester 615p to 645p but it came at 6p. I wasn't supposed to be home yet but good thing I was. You sent it to the wrong address. Not sure how as i’ve ordered many times. Y’all worry me. My dinner almost went to my neighbor.

Love this place, 2 small cramped tables outside so more of a Togo place next to Rubio's.

Currys were watered down and had no flavor. Very disappointed in the quality especially for the price you pay

Great food and prices were good as well.

Delicious but portions are disappointingly small for what you pay for.

Went with the pineapple fried rice and it wasn’t the best. Shrimp still had the shell on at the tail end and it’s a rather small portion compared to other places for the same price.

Just order 3 boba thai teas with extra boba. Boba was gross. Never has boba that bad. $20 for all too. Which i thought was expensive.

Very delicious food 😋

I just ordered Red Curry Chicken medium spicy and it is/was really amazing. The heat was perfect, the vegetables perfect and the rice absorbed the curry and coconut and my only regret is that I wish I saved some for later!

Delicious and affordable

I called to try an order and the lady was rude and not helpful. Please learn manners when communicating with consumers. I don’t know why they have good ratings.

My favorite Thai dish is yellow coconut curry and this place is fast friendly and delicious

The Basil chicken is bomb!! I went with spicy level 10!! It was delightful!!

Best Pad Thai in Chula Vista!

This place is so yummy! I love their curries, mango sticky rice, and the Thai Iced tea is pure perfection!

I like the tom khar soup, green curry chicken, and sticky rice with mango. I've had the phad Thai and it is ok, but not a stand out, unfortunately. My wife's favorite is pad see ew which is good with lots of umami flavor. Fresh rolls are also very good, served with peanut sauce and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. It's, not the cheapest takeout, but good quality and I end up having dinner and lunch out of an order.

A couple of weeks ago, we ordered Thai from another restaurant and was disappointed. Upon searching I found Thai Fresh with good reviews. Took a chance and ordered from Thai Fresh . Service was quick and food was fresh Spice level was right where we wanted it. Great Drunken Noodles and Green Curry were great. Only hiccup was we requested and paid for extra Chili sauce and Peanut sauce for the Spring Roll. We only ended up with one of each. Will def repeat.

Food is delicious and service is very friendly

Be careful they aren't open all day they close after lunch and open at 4:00 p.m. not sure exactly what time they close computer says they're open all day at the side I looked at I told them so they might change it. The food was very tasty I had the shrimp panang I've been told by other friends that everything else they have there is great as well. There's really no place to sit there they tried to close the table the girl that took my order is more than a little bit rude but that might be from her laos usual cultureual attitude. Not sure I've been told from a friend who lives there that that's the way the women are there. LOL
An older woman who I think might be the owner straightened her out right away. Anyway you cannot go wrong eating here or taking food home which is primarily what they want you to do take it with you. So don't plan on eating there there's never any place to eat inside but there's a couple of chairs outside as you can see tables. You could always walk over and use the tables from Pollo loco LOL. I will definitely be going back the Penang was absolutely great nice portions fair prices enjoyed their Thai tea. Give it a shot you'll love it here or you'll love the food when you take it home LOL

Always delicious

First time customer and I have to say there food is absolutely delicious! The meat was cooked to perfection the spice was just right! Will be recommending to friends.

I know some have had bad service here but the service I received today was awesome. The portions are great. I have to taste it to review the food but service was a 5/5.

I usually don't like giving bad reviews and want to point out that this is not based on the food rather the service. I've been told the food and flavor is good so I drove 20 miles to try it, yes 20 miles(I like to try new places). The drive was only to be told when I was there that they close from 3-4pm for lunch. I totally get it that they need a break but I drove a good 20 miles only to be told "sorry, we close from 3-4" even after I told her I drove a bit just to try their food and it was 5 til 3pm. I'd be nice if they update their lunch hour on their social media and websites so people know not to visit during that hour. It is safe to say we won't be coming back🤷🏼‍♀️ on to the next one.

Delocious, fast & practical

The best Thai food ever! So fresh and tasty. The veggies are cooked to perfection. The flavors are authentic. Love this place so much!

Good curry and pad thai. Generous portions, I hope it stays that way.

First order of the day but still waiting. Cashier says people are picking up orders from yesterday. Good customer service or bs. You decide.

This is my go to place for good comfort food style Thai food ❤ my favorite item to get is the red curry. If you like more sweet curry flavors, the mango curry is amazing too!

I don’t know what has changed here in the past 2 months. I and my coworkers were bi-weekly customers. We loved it here but they have lost their care for customers. Food is just mashed into bags. The food is not labeled to desired spice or content. The drinks are given small straws even when it had boba. I gave them 2 months to see if it was a bad day but this seems to be the new norm. I am looking for a better Thai food place in the area to be honest. Many customers from the Hospital and we are looking for a better spot.

Small take-out place with quality tasting food. If you want it spicy they've got ya. I like a kick with mine so I got a 6/10. It has a lot of flavor for having that much kick. I couldn't stop eating it! Drunken fried rice A+

Great authentic Thai food for a reasonable price.

This is hands down THE best Thai food. Any time I order they make it fresh and as soon as I take that first bite I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. And the staff are so friendly and kind, I've never had any issue with them or my meal. Highly recommend!

I ordered their crab pad Thai and was thoroughly disappointed and saddened 😢. There was absolutely no seasoning to define it as Thai food, just a plain dry stir fry....

Honestly the best Thai restaurant I’ve had in San Diego. It’s really small inside but the food is great so I suggest pick-up or there’s an outside area for sitting. I can’t wait to go back.

My favorite pumpkin curry ever. No other curries compare !

Best Thai food in Chula Vista and South Bay by far. It's not a restraunt. Call, order, and pickup or GrubHub. Very high quality and authentic. Really sweet staph too. You will like them.

Exactly what I was looking for. Really convenient and quick. Tasty food. Fresh ingredients. I asked for spicy (level 5 on the soup and 7 on the green curry) and it actually was spicy, unlike many other spots that have disappointed me in the past. I asked for brown rice and the young man noted it but I got home and found white rice. Nobody's perfect.

This small walk up take out is seriously fantastic. They also opened a second location down the street but I haven't been to yet. Don't forget to say hi to Miss kitty and Neal the owners! Great people!

Fresh made to order dishes every time. Love it

Great food and staff!! So many VEGAN options too.

I ordered medium spicy Thai fried rice and tofu green curry. But it was very spicy . Food was very tasty and packed in paper boxes and bags which is environment friendly.

Ate lunch here on a visit. Very small shack, with one chair to wait on and two seating tables outside. Got my usual order of Pad Thai and taro boba milk tea. Taste was very good. Four stars only because of how long it took to get my order.

Real small store quick stop to go. Tastes almost always good. Depends if they're in a hurry or not

Always awesome!!

Small place, it's really to go only, but food is awesome

very delicious, but portions are kinda small for the price.

Amazing! Kind, cheerful people making thai food greatness. Best ive had outside of thailand.

I'm glad I live close to this place. We go there once a week. Mixed vegetable and Drunken fried rice are our favorites. Don't know what we'll do when they leave for their Month long vacation

Tasty and delicious! Can’t miss ya it’s any of the plates you order ☺️

Delicious

Not sure why this place doesnt have 5 stars. The food is amazing and the ladies are very attentive. The place is small and family owned, that how you know its good!!

Ah Mazing! Note that this is a to go place... there are a few chairs outside, though. The taro boba, drunken noodles, pad thai, curry... all amazing. The best food comes from small family owned places!

Excellent, fresh food. I suggest calling ahead for your order since it's made fresh and take time. I recommend this place!!!

Delicious! Really good Thai food to go. We ordered chicken pad see ew, crab pad Thai, sticky rice with mango and large Thai iced tea. Very good food and drinks. Thumbs up. Generous portions. It's mostly a to go place. Two small tables outside but mainly people just pick up and go. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

I love the food and the family who runs it.

A hole in the wall, enough room to place your order & go outside to wait for it, but worth the wait. Go on give it a try - delicious

Small place, but the food is supreme. Really enjoyed and would go back and recomend any.

Ok place. Could do better. Almost a 4 star. Decent food.

Awesome spot for legit Thai food. Fair prices for portion size as well. Literally a hole in the wall, definitely worth it though.

Great service. Delicious food😃

Great Thai food!

The food is absolutely the best! Fresh rolls, pad thai, mango curry all simply the best

Always a great choice for tasty, fresh Thai...

Bien

Great service great food

Quick and great!

Good food, good portions, reasonable prices. Will definitely return. Parking is challenging, minimal.

Great flavors, fresh veggies

I tried a couple days ago. And it was the best! Going back soon!

This is a casual thai eatery, with only outdoor seating, and a menu that is more limited than a regular thai place. There is no room inside to eat, it's a very tiny place that's set up as a to-go place. Prices are fair and the service was fine.

I ordered the basil eggplant, which comes with a bunch of vegetables in a sweet soy sauce. Although there was flavor, I felt the quality didn't seem that high, even though the vegetables were fresh...something just seemed off. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's just an average place.

Very good

So delicious!! Family owned, kind and friendly service. When busy best to order and pick up.

Tasty fresh food!!!!!

Very good food. Fast, fresh and convenient. Would be 5 stars if we could sit in air conditioning instead of outside. Recommended for take out !

Love the curry!

Don't let this small space fool you, these guys do an amazing job producing delicious authentic Thai food. I love their curries (yellow and panang are my favorites) and my wife swears by the fried rice. And you can't go wrong with a cold Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice! I highly recommend this place for inexpensive, delicious food to all my friends and neighbors.

The food here is great! The staff was very polite. Recommend calling ahead to place your order for pick up. Very little seating available and it is outside. This is definitely take out. Although I've enjoyed eating outside here.

Got it delivered. Pad sew sew was dry, vegetables weren't cooked and egg was one big clump, blah! Tom yum soup was ok. I'm not from San Diego, but I've had WAY better in Memphis Tn or Jax FL and even Gulfport, MS. Not good at all!

So good. NOM NOM

Great food, a little bit of a wait

It might be just a take out place but it serves some of the best Thai in San Diego county. Yes do yourself a favor and go today.

Best place I've found in Chula Vista for Thai food. Super bomb

We love coming to Thai Fresh for yummy Thai in Chula Vista. It's a hole in the wall with a table or two to dine outside, we usually order to go. The food is fresh and full of flavor, portions are good and the prices are great. Evenings can be a bit busy, try to call in your order to minimize the wait. We frequently order Panang tofu, chicken larb salad, crab fried rice, pad sew w/tofu ... Everything is wonderful!

The food is as the name suggests, Fresh! If you enjoy Thai food, this is a must try. Super small joint with little to no places to sit and eat but if you don't mind taking the food home or elsewhere...you won't be disappointed!!

Convenient little place with great authentic Thai food made fresh to order! I call ahead so the wait is minimized. The drunken noodles ordered "spicy#5" with different meat for everyone is a normal order in my family.

Tasty Thai food.

Good and spicy

I think the flavor of the food compensates for the lack of space in this restaurant.
Few tables and chairs outside so would highly encourage you to order take out. And not eat here.
Prices are fair and the food-price ratio it's quite good.
Would recommend to come here for sure

Home made it's delicious.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants. Chicken larb is my favorite, along with the mango sticky rice. Yummy!
It's only a small kitchen, no place to sit to eat so you order your food, pick it up and go! My kind of eatery.

Papaya salad was amazing, same with the roles. Would definitely recommend.

Loved this food. Had panang curry and spring rolls

The menu is a bit more vegetarian and just different than other Thai restaurants.

Shrimp Pad Thai!!

Best Thai Food I've had

This place is one of the best Thai places I've found in San Diego county. It's this incredibly small takeout joint. The prices are good-- no higher than average, and the food is fantastic. They give you good sized portions-- again about average, and despite having such a small staff, the food came in decent timing. *Be sure to look at the menu in the pictures rather than the online menu since the online menu is outdated!*

Food was oversalted. Mock duck was ok. Red organic rice was delicious. Will try one more time.

My favorite Thai food in South Bay by far. Amazing quality

Probably the most authentic (if not the most delicious) Thai food I'ever had since I left Hawaii 9 years ago.

Great fast food !!!

We ordered through DoorDash. The problem was not with that service, but the food.

I'll go down the list. Pineapple fried rice had 3 Shrimp in it (literally). If you're going to charge more for seafood at least add more than that too it to accommodate the price.

I'll start by saying none of the curry or soups were labeled. Was a little confusing to figure out which was which. And we eat Thai quite often. Normally it's easy to just look based on veggies if nothing else, but I'm getting there.

Red Curry, normally bell papers and bamboo shoots, easy. (Both the panang and red we're same color) but my red had no bamboo shoots in it, a few bell peppers and carrots. Carrots are not described in their menu at all.

Panang curry, ordered it with chicken. There were 5 pieces of chicken in it and a ton of carrots. For some reason skimping on meat is a trend.

Tom Kar, normally a nice soup to start off with. Again with the carrots, which are not listed on the menu for this item.

Tom Yum, was not at all right. Had cabbage and carrots in it making up most of the soup. Neither veggie is suppose to be in there. It was more of a cabbage soup than a nice brothy soup with mushrooms and chicken.

Not sure why they used carrots as filler for everything, or why ingredients were added to items not listed. I understand if you run out of something, like no bamboo shoots I can live with. But I don't want to drudge through cabbage to get to the mushrooms I really love in a soup that is as simple as it gets.

Don't come here without phoning in your order. Wait is long. Cluttered small place, only a few chairs, and food is decent.

It's not nice that I ordered an hour ago and they have the food on time for the people that called to order a couple minutes ago. A lady waited an hour to get a simple Beef Pad Thai...

I've never waited so long to get two orders of food with only 1 person in front of me. Took 40 minutes

For the last two years have been enjoying their food. Yes, it's a hole-in-wall size joint but the food brings me back every week. Their Thai tea is spectacular in comparison with all I've tried in the surrounding area. Green & mango curry have my heart, but the entire menu is delicious. Friendly service is a huge plus, too.

Loved the mango sticky rice

It is a hole in the wall restaurant! The mom and pop place is always the best place to eat at! The food is amazing! Home cooked and everything! Very affordable! Awesomeness!!

Amazing food from a quant location, pineapple curry and drunken noodles rocked my world - make sure you ask to have it spicy.

Small place with friendly staff. The food wasn't as spicy as I would expect for Thai food but wasn't bad either. We had Drunken Noodle with Mock Duck and Thai Fried Rice with BBQ Pork.

Go here everyday before class religiously and it tastes amazing :)

Very good quality of food and fast service.

Excellent price for great tasting food. You most try it!

Best spring rolls ever 👌👌👌

Delightful service and delicious food - a perfect pairing! As a tip, be sure to call about 15 minutes ahead if you have a copy of the menu - especially if you're hungry!

Very, very small place but very good place for Thai food. I like their Thai tea.

Very good food, fresh and prepared to your heat level. It is small and the only place to eat is outside. The employees are very nice and very helpful.

Very small place. If you want to eat there it will have to be outside, otherwise plan on taking it to go. They also have just one means of cooking so it may take a while but it's very good. They will add some spice if you like as well. Mine was an 8/10 and was barely tolerable.
