We are an authentic Thai restaurant. Our Encinitas location opened in 2002 . Our goal is to provide authentic Thai food to the communit
Our go to Thai because of the quality, fair price and friendly service. Kids love the chicken satay with sticky rice combo. Curries are great. Tom Ka soup delicious. Eat in when you can in the cozy atmosphere.
Been going here since pre-covid and so glad it is still in business to this day. The best Thai place around. I have been trying various Thai places around North County to try and expand my options, and end up disappointed because they simply don't compare to here. Their basil noodles, spring/egg rolls, curries, are amazing.
Their "pad see you" is unmatched—truly I have not had one anywhere close to as flavorful as here. Same with how they cook their tofu—it isn't deep fried prior to the dish so it absorbs all the flavor of the sauce and isn't sponge-y. I never order tofu except for here.
The Thai tea is spectacular, I sometimes go just to get some. The only thing not too special is the boba. I like how soft it is, but its less tasty than other boba I've had. The boba is just extra though, not a staple to the restaurant, so its forgivable in my opinion. If you prefer less chewy boba though this may be the thing for you.
I have brought many friends to this place to introduce them and they have been blown away. Some have come back here all the way from downtown because they enjoyed so much.
My "Pad See You" was very good, the lunch portion included soup and an egg roll. The service was prompt and pleasant. Upon arrival on a cold January day the front door was propped open. As a result the seating area in the restaurant was cold. The interior atmosphere is blah. The noise level was reasonable, it permitted easy conversation.
This is hands down my fav new Thai restaurant in north county!!! The Penang curry is 10/10 and their fresh rolls are amazing 🙌🏼 they are SO quick and have offered such great service each time I’ve picked up my food.
This is the best pad see ew I've ever had! I go here weekly and they know my order now 😁

We decided to try a different Thai restaurant in Encinitas last night and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered chicken Pad Thai and mixed veggies with brown rice. The flavors were fabulous. Their brown rice was excellent. Friendly service too. This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in North County!
Best Thai in town

Great Pad thai
I ordered a pad Thai and it was so sweet that I got sick of the stomach. I don’t understand why is it necessary to add THAT much sugar to the pad Thai!
Delicious lunch specials, include soup and a egg roll.
Quick service, highly recommend!
I have just moved back to the United States and have been looking for a good place to get pad Thai. The last three or four restaurants I went to have been horrible. This is terrific food and extremely fast. I will be coming back.
I had thai tea, egg rolls, and chicken pad thai spice level 3 (spice level from 1 to 10). It was delicious, and I highly recommend it. Staff were friendly, and the food came out pretty quick.
Our go-to for Thai. Really gracious people. Consistently yummy food. Decently priced by comparison in coastal area.
THE BEST!!
I’ve tried sooo many in many different states and cities- this is by far the best I’ve ever had. I live near utc but will happily make the drive to come here.

Excellent pad Thai! They made it vegan for me once, but they’re not always able to do so.
I have bought food here 3 times. It turns out that the food here is delicious and spicy. We can choose to be spicy or not. I like seafood fried rice. A lot of side dishes.
Love it here! Always friendly and always delicious! Thank you for continuing to stay in business!!!
I enjoy this restaurant every time I'm in town. And I'm here every weekend. Their chicken wonton soup is amazing. They're courteous, friendly and I love the food!
AMAZING FOOD! We come here all the time and they never disappoint! Excellent staff, incredible flavor.
Lunch specials are amazing.
Thai Pan is delicious! Our office orders catering from them often and its always perfect!
In a city brimming with dining options, Thai Pan Cuisine stands out as a culinary haven where authenticity, flavor, and ambiance converge seamlessly. Each dish tells a story of Thai culture and tradition, inviting diners to savor every bite and relish in the rich tapestry of taste.
My favorite Thai place of all time!! I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and I’ve never had a bad meal. The staff is super sweet, food comes out very quickly, and the pricing is totally reasonable.
My fiancé is from Thailand and we were visiting Encinitas from Phoenix - and we mean it when we say you guys really have a gem of Thai food on your hands people!! You can NEVER find Thai sausage in Phoenix or such refreshing Thai spring rolls!! We wish we lived here, we'd eat this everyday!!! Please try Pad Thai with Thai sausage and literally any curry option no grease and so delicious! Will be back to take food to go :) we wish you great health and success!
This restaurant is accommodating to food allergies, amazing service and Vila was an excellent server.
Love this place. Food is delicious
Excellent food and Great service.
Very good pad Thai and pad sieu. Friendly staff. We were in a hurry and they were able to care of us.
Client since 20 years. Moved away so I visit more rarely. Never disappoints.
Their handrolls are fab
Soups deelish
Curries and stir fries have so much flavor. Simple decor but clean.
Lovely customer service
Popular for takeout. Call ahead, they get busy.
Overpriced. I had been buying food in this place for years. They missed a dish on my last order, promised a credit, but now don’t want to honor the credit. I filed a chargeback with my credit card company. Dishonest business.
In the quest for our new regular thai restaurant, I am glad that I found our new thai place. The food was more delicious, the portions more generous and easy to order online. I highly recommend:
Onny's Thai - San Marcos
1903 W San Marcos Blvd #100
San Marcos, CA
Great food and let me tell you how good it is. I do not like vegetables at all, but the way they make it I love to eat it. They make this guy who hates Vegetables eat them so they are doing something right! Try this gem of a restaurant.
Loved their curries! Generous portions, freshly cooked to order, delicious sauces. The Mandarin chicken was perfectly crispy but tender inside. Service was ok, a bit slow and not well coordinated, but it's a small place with lots of takeout orders, so it was to be expected.
Been here a few times and it’s DELICIOUS! So flavorful and beautifully cooked. Excellent staff! We will definitely be regulars here now.
I recently dined at Thai Pan Cuisine and was blown away by the delicious food and friendly service. The standout dish for me was the Caahew Dish - the flavors were so well-balanced and the cashews were cooked to perfection. The sauce was rich and savory, and I couldn't get enough of it!
In addition to the Cashew Dish, I also tried the Coconut Thai Tea with Boba and it was absolutely fantastic. The tea tasted strong and authentic and the coconut cream added a nice depth of flavor to the tea. The boba added a fun texture to the drink, making it an even more enjoyable experience.
Overall, I had an amazing dining experience at Thai Pan Cuisine. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, and be sure to order the Cashew Dish and Coconut Thai Tea with Boba - you won't be disappointed
No es el mejor Phad Thai que habré comido. Era un masacote sin sabor agradable.
Great food, affordable prices, good service!
Excellent Tom Kha, full of veggies and Very tasty. Excellent service. They have Boba as well.
A year later and I can say that the (Thai) Green Salad here is off the charts!!! Healthy, beautiful greens and plenty of goodness! The cost and quality are the absolute BEST in town. I love this place.
Dined in and picked up food here many times. Food is consistently fresh and delicious. Very friendly and strive to get your food prepared quickly. The spring rolls, yellow curry and silver noodles and great!
Delicious traditional Thai
Had a very nice lunch special, cute little mom n pop 😊👍🏼
Very underwelming meal. Everything lacked flavor, to a point where I didnt even feel like complaining, I just wanted to get the meal over with and head out ASAP. Perhaps it was just an off day but it was certainly a regrettable meal.
Very mediocre experience.
Ordered take out for lunch one day and got the lunch special. Starts at $12 but extra charge for anything but chicken and also extra for curry and brown rice, or different meats.
The food came out pretty fast. I’m sure they just make a ton of it and then serve it in portions for each order. The spring roll that came with it was really terrible, just a roll with a bunch of lettuce and plain rice noodles, no meat at all. The soup was a tiny “shot” of Tom yum soup that had nothing in it, just a watery flavored water. I ordered a curry and the curry was good flavor but also very watery. Not a whole lot of chicken. Primarily vegetables.
The food was really not that good. Very disappointed.
Super inconsistentI i think they have one Chef that's really good and the rest suck. Been to Thailand three times, eat Thai food 3 4 days a week.......
This little restaurant is a treasure. We had the Thai coffee which I highly recommend. We also had the cheese wonton appetizer. Best I have ever had. We also had the pad thai and yellow curry. The food was cooked to perfection. Staff was very helpful and our lunch came quickly.
Best Thai food I've ever had, and very friendly staff.
The service was rude. They messed up the order. It charged me for a dinner plate and gave me the lunch portion. When I called them and tried to talk with them about the situation they just said sorry and hung up. Spend your money somewhere else.
I ordered Pad Thai with pork. It was very bland. Had to add spicy sauce for it to have any flavor. The Golden Bags appetizer sounded very interesting but again was disappointing. My friend had orange chicken and she enjoyed it.
This place does not serve alcohol. I enjoy a light beer with Thai, so again a bit disappointing.
Good food
Best Thai food we had around the San Diego area so far! The pricing was a but high, but the portions are big, so we had a ton of leftovers, which kinda forgave the price of the food.
I am not a vegetarian, but somehow decided to get fried tofu this time and OMG, the best fried tofu I had in my life. My husband said the same about my dish, he even ate broccoli from my food and he normally hates this vegetable. My daughter who is a picky eater (3 year old toddler) ate a huge amount of her kids meal. I have never seen her eat so much in a restaurant!
It was average regular main stream thai food, with friendly service, though a bit rush, even though the place was pretty empty. Most come here for take-outs. I could see why. From the way they greeted and approached you and checked on you, it was almost like rushing you along. Fried calamari was tough because it was thinly sliced and over cooked, so not recommend this. Others were good enough. Concerning desserts, it was as if they discouraged us from ordering any. Don't think I would make special trip. There are many other average Thai food to be had. If you live near by then maybe it is good enough. No parking issues. Also other restaurants to choose from.
Enjoying their dishes for years. Very convenient, quick and delicious. Generous with their seafood. Spring rolls with delicious peanut sauce enjoyed each time. And the staff is always cheerful.
Pretty much everything is good here..good, not great. Soup is too salty, but forgivable. Prices are still reasonable compared to other area thai restaurants.
Without exception the best and most authentic Thai Food in North County!
The menu has just been totally overhauled. Prices have gone way up while food quality has dropped. The popular dinner combos they we ordered for 20 years are gone.
The interior decor is a little garish and the few tables outside have a charmless view of the parking lot. Service varies from great to amateur.
Probably not coming back. :-(
Good quality, friendly customer service. Good fried dumplings
I waited 20 minutes for my food because the cook disappeared. Annoyingly loud waitress talking to couple already finished eating. Other waitress slings my food mumbles sorry about the wait. Food nothing special. Picks up my cash. I ask for change ($25 on a $20.20 check). With faux surprised look she says oh you need change? She really thought she was going to pocket a 25% tip after that service? The disappearing cook emerges from the kitchen and starts gulping down soda from the dispenser while they all shout at each other. These people shouldn’t be in the business of serving people.
Spent $70 and they tried to charge me an extra $1.50 for a side of sweet & sour sauce.
Even though I ordered sweet & sour chicken and egg rolls?
Sad they’ll lose a customer vs providing sauce for paying customers.
Too many good places to eat around here to be nickle & dimed.
Always good! Delicious
I stopped by to order take out, the preparation was fast and the staff super friendly and welcoming.
The food was hot and delicious when I got it home. It was a very enjoyable last minute dinner idea!
Good price on special lunch
I love coming to Thai pan cuisine. What is really awesome is that they are just a hop skip and a walk away from my apartment. I also enjoy how they always have such great service. The Food is very authentic and well presented. I really enjoyed the variety of spices they use in their dishes. When walking in you'll notice the aesthetic is very welcoming and pleasing to the eye. They have a lot of really cool historical pictures and religious artifacts which helped create is there a nice ambience inside the restaurant. Food server was absolutely polite and did a great job of presenting our food. Price was fair in the selection was large. I would recommend them to anyone. I hope they continue their tradition of Fine Food and fine dining in Encinitas for many years to come. Come get some of this deliciousness!
Good lunch specials
MY CHICKEN WITH NOODLES AND VEGGIES
WAS DELICIOUS , I WISH THEY WOULD STOP USING TIN FOIL, BECAUSE IT LEAKS ALUMINUM INTO YOUR FOOD.
BEYOND good!!!! Everything is fresh and cooked to order and you can taste it in every bite!! Yes, they chuckled when I only wanted a 5 for my spice level, but I didn't mind. The food isn't just spicy, but complex in flavor. 100% worth the money. 10/10 reccomend.
Been mischarged twice here now. Ordered 2 dishes that were $11 but the total came out to $30. Feels shady and won’t be back next time.
Great place for a quick cheap Thai lunch and if you ask spicy they definitely accommodate. Always a good spot with quick friendly service.
Love Thai Pan! Friendly staff and excellent food. Fair prices and good portions!
They have great food and fast service and friendly
Our “go to” local Thai restaurant.
Highly recommend this restaurant! I love the food that they have to offer, the design inside, and the friendly service! If you want to visit Thailand, but can’t quite afford it, this is an amazing second option. I recommend getting there pad Thai, and Tom kha, sooo amazing!
A local friend had mentioned how much they liked this place. We love Thai food so we ran over for dinner. The green curry was the perfect spice and the seafood Pad Thai was amazing. The Thai iced tea with boba was also terrific. The Boba was very fresh.
Amazing customer service and the food was fresh and flavorful.
The food is good but a bit salty. Price is reasonable and staff is friendly.
Great food: fresh, authentic, tasty. Good and quick service too. Great spot for lunch or dinner.
Sometimes some of the waiter have an acttitud. That's a shame. Because the food its pretty Good. 😛😜
A hidden gem in Encinitas. Friendly service and great Thai fare. Pad Thai and fresh spring rolls are particularly good.
Always hits the spot?
Great food. We always get the Tom ka in the burning pot. Great family run business
Terrible service, mediocre food, and the waiter charged my card twice - the first time with an amount that was twice what I was supposed to pay and they won’t take responsibility for it, even though I have both receipts. There are way better Thai places in the area.
Lousy first time visit .... Not worth it. Clueless servers that don't belong in the restaurant business.
You come in, you sit and wait for someone to acknowledge you... They're all walking around like zombies, then a couple walks in sits down and get the poor excuse of a server to take their order in less than 30 seconds while we are still waiting for someone to at least say hi.
You guys should consider a nail salon ... A restaurant is something you don't even begin to comprehend.
The food was very tasty. The waitress was cold bordering on rude. Not typical certainly for Thai culture. If I can find another Thai restaurant in this area, I won't be back. If the food had not been good, I would have reduced the stars well below 4. There were very few diners so there was no excuse for rude service
First time eating here for lunch. I had the Phad Thai Tofu lunch special, #4 spice. I guess, I had higher expectation from this place to my disappointment, the phad Thai was in the smaller portion and too sweet and noodles look saggy/ overcooked. Service guy was kinda not so friendly. I asked about the level of spiciness and not so helpful. I wanted moderate, and he immediately said 1 or 2 which I know is super mild(felt like he just didn’t care). I’ve ordered Thai tea with “little ice” and he served an abundance of ice! Overall, it’s just ok.
A local gem...love it for dinner, friendly service, and clean. Great menu, friendly staff, and their curries are delicious. Out of the way from the crowds, so usually regulars fill the seats.
We visited for the first time on Sunday, and it was a hit. We enjoyed Tom Yum soup with shrimp, pad thai noodles, tropical fried rice, and the combo appetizer. Everything was delicious! And the service was excellent! We're sure to come back soon. I'm so glad we found this place! ♡
Yummy food
The food is great and the service was very good, very quick.
Decent food but they got my order wrong and then proceeded to hang up on me when I called them back. I wasn't even mad but was just trying to see what the order I received was... I got really mad when they hung up on me though. Won't get my business again with that attitude.
Delicious. Some of the best thai food ive ever had the orange chickens awesome and the rice is so fluffy and delicious and the mom and dad cook all the time they know what theyre doing grab a little candy on the way out there tiny but mighty
Excellent food, service and location. I had a pot of the Tom Yum soup, which was spiced just right and perfect after a long run.
Nice and quite place to eat. Good food and friendly waiters. Quick service and nice atmosphere. Great tasting Thai food. Great for dine-in or take-out. A very recommended place to eat Thai in Encinitas. Silver delight with chicken is my favorite dish here.
If what I wrote helped you out, please give me a like. Thanks.
Walked by and was going to try new experience? I looked inside and was not at all happy😣 place was not very clean in my opinion.
Yummy as always. Food and atmosphere prove to be great time and time again.
I love this place! They are quick, friendly and it's delicious!
Consistently top notch Thai.
Fair at best. Portions are very small and the food is way to sweet and Americanized.
Really great lunch special. Love this place.
Love ti come here for the lunch specials. My favorite is the pinapple curry. Its very taste with the tofu.
The tropical fried rice with chicken, curries (red/green, yellow, and panang) with chicken, and spicy basil noodles with tofu are all delicious. So is their sticky rice with mango and their Thai iced coffee. Usually fast and friendly service. Once we waited for 45 minutes for our To Go order, but that seems to have been an anomaly as it's typically 15 minutes. *They now take American Express.
One of my favorite stops for lunch. Friendly service.
This was such a great find! I had the Pad See You, which is a funny play of words, but delicious! I cannot recommend this place enough! Very good food, very attentive staff.
The yellow curry is the best I ever tasted.... The food is soooooo good!!!!
I highly recommend...
Best thaifood in town
Reasonable food, off airport location.
Amazing food, lunch specials and friendly staff.
Great place, fast service, friendly staff and very good food
The food was so good! Service was friendly and fast!
Good food, nice service, reasonable prices
This place is horrible, the food had no flavor. I ordered a lunch special and the portion was a lunch size but the price was not. Never again!!!
We enjoyed the food but not the services. The waitress was busy for sure and did not ask whom was getting which dish but just placed the dishes on the table for the group of six people. We ended up having wrong dishes.
Good food and price, didn't care my kid brought in a happy meal
We've eaten there for years. Almost invariably consistent. Fair prices. Spicy basil chicken is quite good as can be said for their featured fish specialty. Numerous excellent dishes. Wonderful service, cozy, a gem. Not to be missed.
Overpriced food. I ordered roast duck, and I got very dry-like-fried chicken for $18. I should just had retured it and not accepted this kind of cooking. The servers are not courteous. Becomes friendly only towards the end of your meal; surely intetested in their tips only. I did really eat their "roast duck". I want my $18 refunded.
Spicy basil noodles and yellow curry are delicious
Nothing helps the flu like Thai chicken noodle soup. The spice open up the nostrils and I can even taste the coconut and lemongrass. Wonderful!
Love my local Thai place!
Most authentic Thai food outside of Thailand. The papaya salad is a must!
Love this place!
First time there, but my spicy basil chicken was excellent. Not sweet like too many American-based restaurants do. Service was friendly and very quick. Can't wait to return for dinner!
Fantastic curry
