Small, informal Thai eatery offering classics including noodles, soups, salads & rice dishes.
A must-try Thai dinner spot in North Park, San Diego. Authentic flavors, vibrant atmosphere, and dishes that will leave you craving more. We tried the green curry, drunken noodles, and BBQ salmon, they were all so delicious. The service was great, and the place felt cozy and homey. Definitely worth a try and Perfect for a flavorful night out. Just remember the parking is not easy.
First time back after a couple years and the food still tastes the same. The place still looks the same. Staff are still friendly and service is fast. We like ordering their fried rice dishes and noodles when we go. There are a couple parking spots available in the front. We parked at a public parking lot a few blocks away on the same street and the walk was very pleasant, with more places to see and try next time when in NP.
Spicy is SPICY here, if you wish..but not necessary.
Our new go to Thai restaurant! For this review:
1. We ordered Drunken Noodles (Pork, spice level 4) and Pad Thai (Pork, spice level 4)
2. We dined inside the restaurant.
Portion sizes for both entrees were great, pad Thai had enough for two meals (we took home the second half), drunken noodles were finished in one sitting (I was very hungry). Both dishes had excellent ratio of noodles/meat/veggies. Flavor was fabulous for both entrees. The only thing we said repeatedly during our meal was "wow this is SO GOOD"!
Looking at past reviews someone said this was the "best drunken noodle in San Diego" and I have to agree. Those noodles were delicious.
Inside the restaurant: it's a house made into a restaurant, which is cool. Service was quick and our server was kind. Parking in north park is always going to be a few more minutes than a walk, so be prepared for that. We parked a 5 minute walk from the restaurant easily on a Friday at 6pm.
Location within North Park is great, walking distance from bookstores, browsing stores, coffee shops, other restaurants. I can picture myself spending a day in north park and ending up here for dinner.
Go here! | highly recommend and will be back.
I came here for some late night Thai food. The whole experience eating here for the first time was really good. The service is great. I felt very welcome when I came here. The food was really amazing and flavorful. I like the style of the Thai house. It makes it feel homey. I would be coming back again for sure.
We ordered the pad Thai, green curry and eggplant dish. The only decent dish was the green curry. Everything else was extremely sweet. The pad Thai was the strangest I have ever had. It is ORANGE in color and tasted sweet and fishy even though we didn’t order it with seafood. I took one bite and couldn’t complete it. The eggplant dish was so oily. You can get much better Thai food at the food court!!! In addition, the soap is super watered down. I asked the server to add soap and he did not respond. Please do yourself a favor and do not dine here. Take your hard earned money somewhere else. At this point, we are just hoping we don’t get sick.
Absolutely delicious and fresh food! Restaurant is clean and decorated nicely, with a small parking lot out front. Service is excellent. Beer, wine and sake are on the menu. We got tom yum, pad Thai and cashew nut. Ate it all up except for the pad Thai, which was a VERY generous portion
Lived within a < 10 min walk for a year and somehow never went!! Best Thai I’ve had in North Park and cant wait to go back to try more.
The outside is unassuming, which is honestly I think what kept me from noticing or being super intrigued by the place.
The inside is so cute and beat my expectations. The service is so kind, helpful, and attentive. The food was literally so good - super super fresh, not super greasy/oily/heavy, and lots of great flavors and textures.
I think this is the best edamame I’ve ever had - it comes with some sort of sauce that blew my mind.
I got the Pad Woon Sen and my fiancé got the thai friend rice. I wish mine had maybe more salt or some sauce, but it was fabulous nonetheless. The thai fried rice was just great.
Pad thai was orange and not flavorful at all.
Food is good.
Love this place. Ask for chili sauce
I'm sick with Covid and the flu, I wanted wonton soup. I was glad this place has it and is near where I live. I ordered it for pick up so my bf can go grab it for me. When he returned I found out my wonton soup only had vegetable. What kind of wonton soup only has vegetable? Why not call it vegetable soup? Already not feeling great this really pissed me off. Thanks for the lie. I don't think I'd go back to this restaurant.

3/6 of us got sick after eating here. On top of that, our order was 30 min late after the pickup time and even though we specifically asked for fresh tofu for someone with celiac disease we got fried tofu which he couldn’t eat since it’s made in the same fryer as wheat items. Not fresh and not coming back. Beware if you have dietary restrictions.
Delicious, homemade, cozy. Love this spot!
I enjoyed this place cause it’s open late while the majority of restaurants are closed. The food portions are huge and reasonably priced. It’s a cute little spot.
This little place us a gem. Not overly crowded on a weekend night. The food was very authentic Thai and well prepared. Service was excellent and prices affordable. We will definitely be back. 👍👍
This is the only Thai place I'll go to from now on. This is the best, most authentic Thai food I've had in a while and they're super nice people.
Ordered take out. The red shrimp curry was very good! Not too spicy. Just right. Thank you.

True authentic Thai food, chef, and heart!

Very large portions with sub par flavor. I tried it because of the good reviews. Do not recommend and will not be returning.
Overpriced. Beef tasted funny.
I'm just going to say that they have the best pad Thai in San Diego thus far! We have been trying Thai restaurants for the past 11 years and we judge them on the Pad Thai... THAY PASSED!!! My spirit feels good leaving this place! I got to say!
Panang curry was delicious. Rice perfectly cooked, and the wonton soup was super flavorful with a bit of chili oil mixed in. Give this place a shot and skip the lines at all the other restaurants down the street.

Got the chicken panan curry very good good service and they're the only thai place open until midnight

Always amazing food with a nice cozy intimate atmosphere
Their website does not explain what vegetables are included in the curries , so i called to ask, so I knew which one I wanted to order. The man that answered told me to check their website for that information because they were too busy for him to explain it. I advised him their website didn't include that information & if it was too much trouble i'd order elsewhere, which made him change his mind. After explaining what was in each curry, I thanked him, and was about to place my togo order .... at which point he hung up. By far the worst customer service Ive ever experienced and we hadnt even made it to the restaurant yet .
We have ordered takeout from here a couple times a month since we moved in up the street from Bangkok Spices almost 7 years ago but I’ve never written it a review! We have tried many other Thai restaurants in the SD area and always regret wasting a precious takeout meal on other places. The flavors, price, and portions are unmatched! We’ve tried a lot of dishes from here, but our regular order is delicious veggie green curry and shrimp red curry. They’ve never gotten our order wrong and it’s always hot and ready at pickup time.
The food is sooooo good, anything you try is going to be good. Good prices, great service, lovely vibe. Recommend 10/10
Ordered a soup three weeks ago and they gave me the wrong soup. The woman gave me store credit and took my name and number. I came in today and asked for my soup. The “manager of the store” asked me for the name of the person I talked to. Obviously I’m not going to remember that. I was told give my name and number. He yelled at me when I said this!!!! 0 customer service. He needs therapy for his anger management. Common sense am I going to remember som ladies name from three weeks ago or am I suppose to trust they kept my info like they said they would. And I’m out the money I used to pay for that soup.
Don’t yell at your customers IDOT
We were just visiting San Diego from Texas and I’ve got to say, this was far better from the Thai restaurants we have nearby. The atmosphere was homey and cozy. Our waiter was really nice and patient, overall very good service. The food was amazing. We ordered satay chicken for an appetizer which was delicious. We got 4 entrees spicy fried rice,Thai fried rice, pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles which were all really good. This restaurant was beyond our expectations! All in all, the whole experience was a pleasure!!
Probably the best Thai food in the area. I've tried many of the Thai restaurants in North Park, Hillcrest, city heights and South Park but this one takes the cake.
The service is amazing every time, the food consistently is excellent and prices are reasonable.
They are open till later at night so it's a good option for late dinner.
I would recommend the papaya salad, green curry, spicy salmon and spicy noodles.
When you order take out the food will usually be a little more spicy than when you dine in, so adjust the level accordingly.
Love the food. Best part, they are available when everyone else has already closed. That doesn’t mean that they are the backup option, they are really good, food is amazing. Just simple comfort food. Love it.
Great meal and wonderful space. Service was just a bit slow, but overall, a wonderful dining experience! Highly recommended!
Good restaurant overall! The service was great and the food was good too. The curries are thick and not watery, I liked that. The brown rice was a little burnt but I guess it was a one off thing.
The ambience could be better, but rest everything was great. Very inexpensive restaurant so food was good for its price
Food was phenomenal & open late
Great hidden gem in North Park. Highly recommend.
Best Thai food I’ve had in SD
Absolutely delicious. Panang curry was made perfectly. Very nice staff
Very good Thai food and friendly staff. The decor was very cute as well, would recommend!
Tiny local Thai restaurant with very reasonable prices, well cooked food, and great flavors. Was able to get a cold singha beer in a frosted glass for $5. Got the Bangkok BBQ chicken with spice level 5 (not even remotely spicy). Comes with white or brown rice and vegetables. It was delicious and I will definitely buy again. Additional sauces are available at the table so you can increase the spice as desired.
Service was speedy and we were in and out of there in an hour. Whole meal was reasonably priced with good portions at $22 (including beer). Went on a Thursday night and there only 1-2 other groups there, so if needed parking was readily available in the few spots out front.
Kind of quirky travel/ hippie/ retrogamer decor with a bunch of tchotchkes and local North Park stuff (like overload skateboard on the wall), overall pretty cool.
Come here all the time. Super friendly service and the food is incredible.
From the outside, this place is unassuming. I passed it for years without giving it a try but tried it on a whim a month ago and have been hooked ever since. Everything they make there is super good and the turn around time is pretty quick for most dishes. The interior has a fun aesthetic and I’ve never had a problem getting a seat whenever I’ve gone. Definitely recommend - the Pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had!
I’ve been coming here off and on for the last few years. Sometimes dine in, sometimes order takeout. I think it’s a hidden gem. Not terribly busy whenever I’ve come here or ordered to go. I love the panang curry. The food is consistently good, good-sized servings, and friendly service. Nice to know they’re open later now.
So delicious! The soup that comes with the lunch special knocked my socks off. The prices are great. Outstanding noodles. Friendly, efficient service. Feels like eating at a little hole in the wall on a Thai island, except with real chairs (iykyk). I'll be back.
Grandson birthday dinner. Outstanding food in a unique out of the way place. Great service.
Ordered pickup (called in by phone) of the fresh spring rolls, Penang curry, and cashew chicken—everything was phenomenal!! Large portions and amazing flavor, reasonable price, too. I like a bit of heat and spice level 5 was good, could have gone higher if I wanted an extra kick. My husband and I both really enjoyed our dinners and we will be back!
It wasn't busy at all at 11 am.
Service was prompt and polite we sat while we looked over the menu, and it was done within 10 minutes.
The restaurant was clean and decorated with Thai culture and flair.
The curry was thick and delicious.
The spring rolls were perfect, not soaked in oil or hard. Came with plastic ware and napkins, which I can't seem to get anywhere lately and sometimes even when I ask.
Not including the spring rolls I spent 15 dollars on the curry and it came with the decent sized steamed rice.
I came here for some late night Thai food. The whole experience eating here for the first time was really good. The service is great. I felt very welcome when I came here. The food was really amazing and flavorful. I like the style of the Thai house. It makes it feel homey. I would be coming back again for sure.
IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 1mil stars i would !!!
After a long night out my bestie and we we’re looking for a place to sit down and eat when we stumbled upon this place which happened to be open until midnight 🥰her and i are SERIOUS about our food so we usually go to the same spots but since were not from the area we had no other option besides fast food 😩 as soon as we saw the restaurant photos it was a GO ! As soon as we walked in the place GOOD VIBES ! The place was so at home !! The waiter was soo kind gave us plenty of time but of course we already knew what we wanted ! This waiter came out with the most refreshing water ive ever seen 🥰 for appetizers we ordered our favorite TOFU SPRING ROLL 💗i ordered the tofu yellow curry and she ordered red tofu curry . When we took that first bite WHEW CHILD the levels of dopamine i experienced in that moment is unmatchable THAT CURRY WAS SO DAMN GOOD 🤤🤤 only bad thing about this restaurant is that i live an hour and a half away from there. Considering that i would drive out there JUST to eat at this restaurant 1000000/10 THANK YOUUUU 💗
Bangkok Spices Thai Restaurant offers a culinary journey that tantalizes the taste buds with authentic Thai flavors. It is a hidden gem in the city. The taste of the food is unforgettable. The service at Bangkok Spices is as noteworthy as its ambiance. Staff members are attentive and knowledgeable, making recommendations that cater to both Thai cuisine novices and aficionados alike.
Good food, good beer, cools employees what more can you ask for.
Based on other reviews I ordered the drunken noodles and they were so good! If I lived in the area I would definitely eat here often.
Nice little restaurant. I remember this building was once a chiropractor office. Only recently did I try them out. It was really great. BE OPEN TO SOMETHING NEW.......You miss out on a lot when you do the same thing all the time.
Delicious food (Jungle carry) and nice staff
Not sure if the Asian guy was ready to go home, but he was rushing me out with my food. Customer service was horrible. These guys just seem money hungry. Also the food made me and my mom stomach hurt and I even felt nauseous.
Solid affordable Thai joint! Spicy really is spicy here!
Great food and great atmosphere
What a hidden gem in North Park! Place was clean and orderly. The staff was really accommodating and nice. Good menu as well. The lunch menu where it’s at. I got the pad see ew lunch special level 6. The spice level was perfect. The soup that came with it was really tasty. It came with salad, egg roll, and some sort of Rangoon. Will definitely come back again!
This place makes some of the best Tom Kha I've ever had in San Diego! Try it with tofu. Other dishes were also good. Generous portions. Great service. Nice atmosphere, quirky I'd say. Will definitely be going back here for Thai standards.
Delicious authentic food and friendly service
Lived within a < 10 min walk for a year and somehow never went!! Best Thai I’ve had in North Park and cant wait to go back to try more.

I love this tiny little restaurant! The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, it's casual and laid back and very accommodating. I always have Pad Thai on my first visit... it's my gauge as to how good the rest of the menu would be (ie chili relleno at Mexican restaurants...works every time.) I'd rather drive here and deal with North Park's parking than walk to the 2 Thai restaurants near my house! Please go here!
I want this place to improve really badly because we frequent this area. Each time we order, the food lacks the flavor and spices that nearby restaurants consistently put out (Soi on 30th and Thai Time), while Bangkok Spices charges the same if not slightly more. I ordered Panang curry at 10/10 spice, and it is clearly mild with no flavor other than sweetness. The Pad Thai had consistency of mushy frozen food and also no spice and little flavor. Bangkok Spices, I recommend you try the food of your nearby competitors and see how you can offer something delicious and worth visiting for.
Quite good and tasty
Level 5 spicy isn't that hot so if you like spicy go for 8-10 level
Definitely a good spot for great food
Great food!
Everything was amazing we all raved about the food! Great Thai iced tea, always order the papaya salad one level less spicy than Everything else lol.
This place used to be awesome- very authentic Thai food and spicy af. In the past year they must have changed owners because the food is not good and is a poor approximation of Thai food. If anyone knows what happened to the OG owners and where they're cooking now, let us all now.
Greeted by amazing staff, only one person served us but was quick and kept track of me taking my order, I asked for no carrots on my meal so they remembered to not put any carrots in the complementary soup given before our meal. Amazing food, amazing people. Very welcoming, wonderful hospitality. I’d recommend to anyone. Worth the price too!
This place is amazing! Found it by Googling Thai food near me and am so happy to have found it! Super delicious made to order and fresh.
They have potential but disappointed in the drunken noodles combination it had literally one shrimp!!!!! The noodles were very dry the beef was rubbery but it was seasoned very well. I think if the cook to more care and pride it can be great
Delicious Thai food. Musman curry is amazing!
This little yellow house is one of the best Thai spots in town.
Best curry in the area. Would eat everything twice.
Even though it is tucked away the food is spicy and great. The servers are very attentive and pricing of the food is spot on. I go there every time I am in town.
Excellent Thai dishes. Every single thing in a party of 11 was wonderful.
This place is funky and cool and you get a lot of food for the money. My yellow curry smelled amazing. Be aware it's on the sweet side.
This is a neighborhood, family-run Thai restaurant. I believe everyone who works there is part of the family, which makes a difference in terms of service and food quality. We have probably ordered take out over twenty times. Staff is super friendly & helpful and the food is fresh and tasty. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh (NOT packaged/frozen/canned).
Sadly an ownership change took place over the past 4-6 months from what I can tell. Loved the former Mom and Dad who ran the front and back. Their Pad Thai and Penang curry was stellar…best we could find. Their spice levels were progressively hotter.
Now the Pad Thai is simply not as good and same with the curry. Their spice levels are inconsistent. Looks like I will be searching again. Positives: Food was fast and hot when picked up.
UPDATE, Jan 2023: My wife and I used to really love this place, to the point where we would go far out of our way to eat here. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. I don't know if ownership changed, they got a new chef, or what (maybe both?), but the food is now a shadow of its former glory. We ate here recently for the first time in months and were sorely disappointed. The appetizers were over-fried, the curry lacked depth of flavor (mostly just tasted like coconut milk), the rice was overcooked and mushy, and the vibe in the place just felt different from the get go. Normally it would be jam packed at dinner time on a Friday night but we found it empty and quiet when we arrived. Now I know why. The only good part of this visit was the service, but then again they didn't have anyone else to wait on. This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego but sadly I doubt we will return =(
Original Review: Bangkok Spices is excellent. The food is as tasty as it gets and the service is top notch, and with a smile. This is my new favorite place in SD for Thai food. Highly recommended!
My experience here was excellent! I went with my family for my birthday and we had an assortment of food it was great! My new favorite Thai place!
Update as of 11/19/22: I went back to Bangkok Spices again after a few months. I was told that they changed owners but it’s the same family, the chef is still the same chef from before. Well, let me tell you, it’s either they lied to me or that same chef just decided to change the recipes for his food, in a bad way. Pad Thai had an orange color vs. the light brown color from before, it had no flavor, and definitely didn’t not taste the same. The Eggplant basil dish had soooo much oil, every bite of that dish tasted nothing but oil. The white rice tasted old. On the contrary, the tomyum soup was very salty. I wish they put some of the salt from the soup to the pad Thai so they would be well balanced lol. Overall, big disappointment from a regular customer. I was skeptical about the “new owner but same chef” statement, the food I ordered today was a confirmation that food isn’t the same anymore. Definitely won’t be back. Such a bummer that I have to go find a good Thai restaurant in SD again. :(
This place is a hidden gem. It’s the true definition of a Mom and Pop shop. Food has been consistently good, very flavorful and well seasoned. Generous portions too. Service can be a bit slow at times but it’s tolerable.
The only complaint is they don’t always open on the hours that they post. There was a few times I drove there to dine in only to find out that they were closed when they were supposed to be opened :( I kept forgetting to call ahead to make sure they were opened before heading there. Now I will remember to do so lol.
Yes it literally looks like you're walking into someone's house but then it instantly feels like home. The walls are covered with quirky knick knacks which are sure to catch your attention. The menu has a great selection quantity wise as well. I had the Pad See Ew with beef and it was delicious! The serving was massive but no complaints here because that made for yummy leftovers the next day. Lastly, the service was great and very friendly! Plus everything is cost friendly 😊
Overall, excellent Thai food and when it was open for dining the service was always superb by the one young lady who's usually there. I prefer to get Thai here than other places because it's unique and tastes more authentic than most. Some standouts are the drunken noodle, Pad Thai, and the green and yellow curries.
Great food, wonderful service, relaxed atmosphere. Incredible value.
Delicious food in a coverted home. Decorations are fun and creates a cozy family atmosphere. The pad see ew was delicious with the perfect amount of heat for what I asked for. Definitely going to visit again.
Yuck! Burnt egg rolls, Tom yum soup consisted of mushrooms and broth only, so I ordered a cup of Wonton soup because it said it had veggies. The only veg was large leeks, the wontons were chewy and I couldn’t eat it even spiced up. The Massaman curry was an unappetizing pile of goopy, sweetened slop. Disappointed! On top of it all, their sign said Lunch specials until 3, we arrived at 2:30 and the server said we couldn’t do a lunch special.
Real tasty.
Always excellent quality and service!
Much appreciated that they stayed late for us. We all loved the food especially the Drucken noodle. My nieces loved it as well. The Auntie that helped us was super sweet. We'll definitely be back.
Best Thai food in San Diego
Love this place! Great service, large portions, and Thai tea is amazing.
Visited Bangkok Spices Thai as it was highly recommended by my sister. We made a phone order and our food was ready within 20-25 minutes. The workers were extremely friendly and wished us a nice stay in San Diego!
The inside of the shop was very fun and had a bunch of items from different countries it seemed. I got a pad thai, pad see ew and spicy fried rice! All items were great and within a reasonable price.
This place overcharged my card $20 after adding about $20 in fees to the original order price. It ended up being twice as expensive as a typical Thai restaurant for mediocre food.
I can't say enough about the place. The curries are phenomenal and I love the vibe!! Might be my new favorite Thai spot 💙
Awesome food and great prices. Quaint restaurant tucked away in 30th St. in North Park. The owner is super sweet and service is great
One of the worst thai I've ever had.. both dishes were burned and unproperly cooked. Duck was way too greasy.. very poor cut of meat.. first and last time.. got 20 % off although we both didn't eat anything
My favorite Thai restaurant hands down, not just in San Diego! And I eat a lot of Thai food! They use skinnier noodles for their drunken noods and mini bell peppers add a bit of flare. Every bite is savory and satiating! Their tom yum has such a rich and refreshing flavor, you can tell it’s hot from the pot! Love the decor, vibes, and prices are great. Wish they were open more days/longer hours. 💛
Great takeout
Fast friendly service, extremely clean, food was excellent.
I’d argue that for certain dishes, it’s better than Bahn Thai. Their musaman curry is second to none.
Hours are a little funky (who can blame anyone post-Covid?), so check before you get your hopes up…. But I’ve been coming here for 10+ years and it’s always delicious!
Used to be one of my favorite places but now extremely dissatisfied with the customer service. I always came here and got my favorite meal modified bc i can’t eat a certain item. It was never an issue up until now, the Lady on the phone was very rude with me and implied that i was lying about my order I always get bc she does not recall it being done that way (maybe she wasn’t working when i get it ??). I even said I would still pay the regular price, I just wanted the meal minus one ingredient. Need to realize that people have food allergies.Will not be coming back and will encourage people I know to go elsewhere with better customer service.
This place is awesome. Great food with generous portions. They don’t make em like this anymore.
This place is so freaking good. We ordered pad thai (huuuuuge portion), massaman curry with chicken, cream cheese wontons and angel wings. Pad thai is so saucy which is so good, other places give you dry noodles and it drives me bonkers. Chicken in curry was cooked perfectly. Angel wings were very tasty and different from what we typically order. We’re very happy we ordered from here. Thai iced tea is not very sweet which I appreciate. Can’t wait to dine-in once Covid is gone!
Generous portions and reasonable prices, quite spicy but that was probably the best part of it. Very cute location I would guess it was fun to actually dine in there but alas that isn't the case today. The interaction with the person who took my order and pickup was also good.
Ordered the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, and spicy noodle with pork.
I didn't like either dish, each dish was a single shade of unappetizing brown, lots of heat, and a varying degree of fish sauce. I can and have made better Thai food at home so its not likely i would return again soon. I would have given 2 stars if this were solely my own opinion, so you might like it even though I didn't.
Weekends can be busy with orders prepare to order early. They can tell you its 40 minute wait for food but its really an hour. That day I was not thrilled with the service. But the food is what I am really going there for so I deal with it. Panang curry and, Pad See Eew is my go too meals. Tomkah, egg rolls and Tomyum is great starters.
Good Thai food, just don’t order delivery from them if you expect you food to arrive anywhere near on time. Add about 45 mins to how long they say it will take.
I was searching for Thai in north park and I’m glad I chose to go here. I ordered the Jungle Curry.. it seriously blew my mind. It was seasoned so beautifully and is maybe one the best Thai curry’s i’ve ever had. It’s the kind of delicious where you wanna smash the entire thing in one go. I can’t even imagine how good their other curries must be. I’m looking forward to trying more things on their menu. Portion size was excellent as well. 10/10 would recommend.
Top thai food spots in north park. If you ask for spicy you’ll get it.
Awesome food ,I drive almost 45 miles each way foe the food .
Best veggie thai you could ask for in San Diego.
Delicious Thai food love the spicy noodle and jungle curry. The owner is so sweet and he is so kind and friendly. Poondee the waitress is the best she so personable and fun remembers your name and what you like. She also is knowledgeable and gives good recommendations to try some other delicious stuff on the menu. The setting is a cute little craftsman home that is decorated well. I like the owners style very artistic. My favorite Thai restaurant and it’s close.
My husband and I love this restaurant. It's our favorite yellow curry that we've had anywhere. The Pad Thai is also really tasty. The servers are friendly and the restaurant is very cute inside. Enjoy!
Love this place. Simple, friendly, never had a disappointing dish or experience.
Love it here!! My go to is one of their many yummy curries.
My favorite thai place in san diego
Cozy and whimsical decor, good food!
Great food!
Delicious and very affordable.
Food was excellent
OMG the Thai Coffee!!! The food is great, the decor is probably the most awesome assortment of collectibles I've ever seen! My wife and I totally love this place!
Some of the best Thai food in San Diego. The employees are amazing.
Best panang curry in the area!!
Best Thai Food....
My favorite Thai place in San Diego. They used to have two locations, and this one was a new place from those others.
Don't let that, or the terrible spot and parking sway you, it's worth it, at least to me.
They should definitely get better signage, though. I've been there multiple times and I still have a hard time finding it at night.
It's super bomb and spicy!!!
