Bright, casual choice for Thai cooking, including curries, noodle soups & traditional salads.
This Thai restaurant impressed me with its flavorful dishes and stunning presentation. The Thai red curry served in a young coconut was rich and unique, the crispy fried shrimp were perfectly seasoned and paired well with the sweet chili sauce, and the green papaya salad was fresh and perfectly balanced. A great spot for authentic Thai cuisine!
Super quick order time and food preparation. Quality was immaculate and prices are very reasonable for the Ocean View area. I enjoyed my meal on thanksgiving when I did not have a family dinner to come home to. They welcomed me with hospitality and made me feel thankful to be in San Diego
PS the free Thai tea is only one per table :/
We came by for their lunch specials and were thoroughly impressed! For a very reasonable price, it came with a soup, salad, and a dumpling! The food, my spicy basil fried rice, was very delicious and the spice level 6 was perfect for me. Easy parking with an accessible lot. We will definitely be back!
One of the best Thai places I have been to. Every single order was great.
Got the veg soup, very refreshing and flavorful. The green curry with spice level 8 was full filling. Quantity was great, good to share among 2-3 people. The pad Thai was average. Mango sticky rice was amazing.
It is a good space, can fit large groups. A great stop overall.
The menu is extensive and impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. The atmosphere is clean and well-maintained, making for a pleasant dining experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding a welcoming touch to the visit. Highly recommend!
Pure Thai & Vegetarian Cuisine is a hidden gem! We tried their lunch special, which is incredibly affordable without compromising on flavor. We ordered the Chicken Thai Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice, and the sweet and sour chicken had a delightful balance of tangy and savory flavors. Portions were generous, and the service was quick and friendly. If you're looking for a tasty, budget-friendly meal, this place is a must-visit!
We ordered the yellow curry, basil fried rice with beef, and pad-siwu and highly recommend them all! The chicken protein option was the best. Our favorite was the yellow curry.
Avacado curry wasn’t bad. Just a little too sweet.
Came to this Thai restaurant for a quick bite and was amazed! Ordered the Panang Curry, spring rolls, and a boba drink. The flavors were bold, fresh, and comforting. Quite pleasing portion sizes as well. Service was friendly and attentive. Will be returning!
Been coming here for years, it’s the bomb
Free Thai ice tea with review
If you want good Thai food, they have it. If you want friendly, polite service, they don't have it.
10/10 - great food, lots of vegetarian options, and they even had a box of free fresh organic produce for their customers. When I got there, I took several beautiful lemons to make lemonade with at home 🧡 wonderful spot
Food was ok, nothing great or extra ordinary.
Based on all reviews, may be I got high expectation from this place.
Ordered basil fried rice, tom kha noodle soup, fresh spring roll.
Fresh spring roll was ok - low on tofu portion
fried rice was good
tom kha noodle soup - not recommended (95% noddles and 5% soup). taste was ok. not great.
Portion size is small as compared to the pricing.
Ice tea with coconut milk was the highlight for me but not the food.
Pure Thai is hands-down, one of my partner and I’s favorite restaurant. Their food is consistently delicious and the staff always have a warm welcome. We work at a Hostel nearby and recommend it to every guest! 10/10 would suggest trying this place out/ adding it to your favorites list! 😊
Most Thai you can get when it comes to Thai food. 10/10
10/10 tofu yellow curry. best I've ever had
Really amazing Thai place! Friendly service, accommodating, and DELICIOUS
The food was underwhelming. I was hopeful with its higher rating for Thai food in the area, but it's skewed because you get a free Thai Tea with a Google review + photos.
My order came out quickly, but it was rather soupy for Pad Thai and overly sweet.

pad thai was made with ketchup not tamarind paste which was super disappointing.
Placing the order is quick as well as the pickup. Food is great and so are the teas.
Good food

Been coming here for a while the food is very consistent good prices!
Love the festive energy and the beautiful Christmas tree in the center of the restaurant. Would love to visit again!!
Service was great, the food was so good.
The food is good, it has unique flavor which is nice and enjoyable. The service is nice The workers are nice and respectful. The atmosphere is claming and enjoyable.
Love this place. Our go-to for Thai take out or eat in around OB!
Absolutely love the Massaman Curry, can honestly say it's probably the best curry flavor I've ever had. Southern Thailand throws down! We have come twice In a week and will be coming back regularly for sure :P staff is always very pertinent, timely and friendly.

Casual but really nicely decorated.
We got the :
Mango curry-- it's out of this world!!
Great mago after taste.
Massaman with tofu and veggies - traditional southern Thai!
Ooh my Goodness, this really is to die for!
And drunken noodles:
Served in a lightweight cast iron pan: delicious and perfectly spicy at #5
The pad thai is my favorite. I get it everytime!
Great Thai food place!
Fast, impeccable service! The food is the best on the peninsula. Always love coming here
Amazing place
- The food is okay. They can adjust the dishes for vegetarians.
- Service is fast.
- Recommended.
- the parking spot is tight and small. My auto had scratches because other guests backed up. When we were there after dinner, they were still sitting in the car and did nothing. It was dark and we have not discovered those scratches until next morning in garage :(
The food was subpar. The service was very slow. The restroom smelled like urine on the walls. We will not return to this establishment.
I like this for takeout and also for hot dishes. Close by my home and we enjoy for dinner.
Amazing service and great boba!
Honestly the pad Thai was great but… I’ve had a lot of papaya salads and this one was almost inedible. It was super salty and tons of lime juice and somehow no flavor. Service was friendly and the place was nice but if you like papaya salads this place isn’t for you.
Food was amazing and so was the service! I ordered the pad see-iw noodles were perfect and so was the chicken, vegetables were also the perfect amount of tender! Will come again.
We have just been here for dinner. We tried different types of fried rice ( spicy basil fried rice, pineapple fried rice, Thai fried rice ) , out of these spicy basil fried rice was little better than others. We also tried Tom Yum Soup but disappointed with it. Curry puffs were okay, and I finally tried sticky mango rice. It was good.
This place was just okay. I got the Hor Mok, which was "fresh shrimps, calamari, scallops, mussel, bell pepper and Thai Basil stuffed in a young coconut with homemade curry sauce." The curry sauce was not spicy enough and tasted too sweet. It wasn't emulsified enough in my opinion. The calamari was chewy and inedible, however the shrimp was good. I wouldn't order it again. I also got the pineapple fried rice- "pineapple, raisin, pea, carrot, onion and egg." This was really good, with good flavor, I just wish the pineapple was cut up in smaller chunks so I could enjoy a bit in each bite. Food was not as expected, but service was quick & kind.
PURE THAI
This is one of my favorite San Diego Thai restaurants. They are always serving with professionalism; and the food is delicious! I so much enjoyed the eggplant 🍆 tofu dish! However this time I resorted to my old favorite--Panaag Curry. This food is good! ... It just moves me to want to try every vegetarian dish here at least once!
.....Most days it's hard to find a nice quite restuarant to eat at; but this place has no loud music playing of any kind at this time.
--- I appreciate the - peace - that comes in silence with my meal.
COME and enjoy! See for yourself.
Clean with polite and helpful staff
Been going here since highschool, best thai food in point loma!
The location might not be the most appealing but their food was great.
The name is a little confusing and made us feel that we were going to an all vegetarian spot but it is not the case. However, the staff is very good and catered to our vegetarian needs perfectly.
Their food is delicious and we were very happy with the flavors and their service. The spicy basil fried rice, mango curry, and garlic edamame were some of our favorites. Our kids also enjoyed their green curry along with their wantons.
I love coming here with friends and alone, the food is always very yummy and fresh. I remember when they first opened about a decade ago. I always get the thai tea with boba (the thai coffee is hecka strong but delicious and gives you lots of energy). The staff is always super polite and food/drink always delivered timely. A classic SD Thai restaurant. Highly recommended.
Upon entering the restaurant was very clean & we were greeted right away. The place is very quaint & has a great ambiance. Our server was very friendly & took our order promptly. We ordered the yellow curry with tofu & vegetables & brown rice. Delicious & great amount for the price. Highly recommend this place!
Best thai food in the area. never a wait - great atmosphere. tthe fresh spring rolls are the best, make sure you get the peanut sauce. they don’t skimp on the boba. make sure not to go too crazy with the spicy level, stay below 3, your taste buds will thank me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good food bad customer service.
Amazing place! So delicious and amazing service!
This was probably the absolute worst Thai take out ever. Egg rolls greasy and soggy, curry is sooo watery with just a few tiny pieces of protein and hard green beans added to it? Pad see ew actually had to go into garbage, uneatable. And it was all bland, no flavor or seasoning of any kind what so ever. Mango sticky rice was green? Rice was hard and mango tasted like chewing sn old card box.... Was truly looking forward to trying this place but will never go back. Spent a little over a $100 and it's all went into trash....
A big thanks to Janee for helping us to place a great vegetarian Thai order. Great service and a good place to come for dinner.
Food was good vegetables, shrimp and pork in the dishes I ordered were fresh also the service was fast and friendly too! Was in a plaza/strip mall so parking was easy too.
My new favorite go to Thai spot in Point Loma. Definitely the best taste wise in the area.
People here are friendly
Place is nice and clean.
I love Thai food, very clean and super good food
Great customer service,the food is great finger licking good !!! Especially the ROTIS !!
Ordered family style, Everything was very good. The chicken was cooked perfect. The tofu was delicious in the pineapple fried rice. Price was very reasonable, the yellow curry with chicken was my fav. The veg egg rolls with dipping sauce yummy. Anything you order won’t disappoint.
A lot of the boba in my drink was hard as a rock. I nearly cracked my tooth.
Best Thai Tea ever!
Einfach köstlich, hatten die Curry Nudeln und das Thai Curry.
Love this local Thai spot!
I don't get the whole 4.6 stars avrrage. People need to really review ... I tried this place out and after 160 bucks and a pretty upset stomach am very meh about this place. Nothing was very good ... Orange chicken was, where's the chicken, lots of breading, the yellow chicken curry was ok but very watery, pineapple fried rice was boring as was the pad Thai, maybe we need to add more heat to the meal but there are other ways to add flavor with out heat. And mandatory 18 percent for a group of 6 when no one was in the restaurant and come on ... That's illegal if I ask you to take it off. Such is life. I will never go and the 3 stars is generous ... And the server wearing dirty shorts. That's a solid 18 percent tip experience.
We have been going to this restaurant for several years and have probably been there 100 times. We always tip well even on take out orders. We are vegetarians and always order such. Tonight I placed an order on speaker phone and the employee said chicken regarding one of the dishes. I corrected her and said tofu. She repeated everything back correctly vegetarian. This was heard by two of us. When we brought our food home, it included a chicken dish instead of tofu. When we returned to the restaurant, she insisted we had ordered chicken to the point where it almost became an argument. We gave them the chicken dish back and ended up paying twice for one of the tofu dishes. It was worth it to avoid the conflict and to realize that $15 was more important to them than our years of being good customers. We will never go back.
Such a relaxed and comfortable environment to dine on propper thai dishes. Green Curry was excellent as was the thai iced tea! Definitely wish this place was in my neighborhood.
Exceptional food. Highly recommend their mango sticky rice!
Great food, great service. Food came out very quick
Drunken noodles was good & it was perfect for a rainy day
Good thai place with fair prices!
The food is good but my mom got sick and my brother did as well . I know the food tasted fresh but maybe not the meats . Also they were short staffed and i had to keep asking for things we needed on our table such as seasonings to water . I know this place has potential but the lack of staff i felt so bad for the waitress .
Second Review - dined in this time. Easy menu, very informative and helpful staff. Tom - Kah soup and red curry.
Soup was lvl 1 spice, red curry was lvl 10 with shrimp.
I was interested in a light meal and the obvious lean towards vegetables made this meal perfect.
Easy too share, limited parking.
First Review - Outstanding atmosphere, great staff, a Point Loma Local Favorite for sure. Food is always hot and fresh.
Food was great. Service was great. Ordered a 9 spicy and got a 0. Probably better for the other end. My porcelain says thanks.
Always great food, very quick, got my food within 5minutes
Unexpected Deliciousness and great service… glad they are expanding! If you like Vietnamese and Thai food, you will love this even more
Great spot! I pulled into the parking lot to go to the taco shop next door, but when I saw this place, I recognized the name from Uber Eats. I moved into the neighborhood recently, so I'm still learning about my new local options. I ordered a curry dish, yellow, with brown rice and mock duck as the protein. It was great! I ordered to go but hung out while I waited. I caught the end of the Michigan University championship game. I noticed the place was clean, had a nice vibe, and the seating was comfortable. It might be a place where I would watch another game. Most people don't think of watching sports at a Thai restaurant. I'm anxious to try some of the other dishes. What I ordered was flavorsome, tender, and packaged well. I will return
