ทำไมกล้าทำอาหารหน้าตาและรสชาติห่วยขนาดให้ลูกค้ากิน นี่เหรอ เสือร้องไห้เสียชื่ออาหารไทยหมด

Diner Review №3

Diner Review №4

After hearing good things I was so disappointed in the quality of food. We ordered the Tom yum soup, drunken noodles and a dessert. The soup was made with red chili powder and tastes like it was made with California dried chilies or another large dried red chili with a little smokiness but none of the bright pungent deliciousness of Birds Eye chillies. Not to mention an obvious lack of galangal, lime leaf and fish sauce. The drunken noodles were dry and flavorless. This is generally my favorite Thai dish and couldn’t even eat it. The service was slow but I would have forgiven that if the food had been good. The waiting room and decor is beautiful but didn’t match what was being served. Please stop cutting corners and use real Thai ingredients!

The food was absolutely amazing !!! The plating was beautiful and the flavors danced in my mouth ! Sooooo good

Diner Review №7

I grew up in the area and I love eating here every time I’m back home. It’s such a local gem that has really good food. Everyone I have brought here has said they were pleasantly surprised at how good it is! I recommend the soups, green curry, and mango with sticky rice. Oh, and the decor just makes it even better! It’s so strangely delightful and quirky. I think it’s worth trying—it’s just really good Thai food.

Diner Review №8

Perfect place to visit for folks who loves authentic Thai food. I have been going to this place for last 4 years and it has always been a great experience. Their ROBOT for order delivery is cute and it kind of generates a feeling of authentic Thai culture plus modern IT age.
Ordered Fried Rice, Red curry, drunken noodles and all of these options are the best. Their ambience is 100% natural and is pure bliss. Highly recommended to folks who are in the neighborhood and wants to try Thai food.

Beautiful inside, great service, and great food. We come here, even just to pick up, every single month. We love it here

Diner Review №12

We dined in right before new year. The food was incredible. Probably the best pad thai we've had and solid green curry. The service was great (they have a cute cat robot server to help deliver food to your table). The decorations and atmosphere was wonderful too; there were probably thousands of ornaments and flowers on the walls and ceiling. We live in the area so I think we've found our new go-to Thai place!

Diner Review №13

Been coming here over the years and the food was very good each time. When the restaurant was sold to new ownership a couple years back, the taste has gone down hill over time, and so has my attendance. I waited to get 3 back to back mediocre dinners before making this review over the course of this year.

The basic red curry I ordered this time was bland. My Tom Yum soup was overly oily and burnt. I can tell the paste was burnt in the pan before the broth was poured over top. You can taste and smell the burnt pan.

This was the last straw for me. I don't know if each time I ordered I got the bad cook, or the good cook left completely.

To those that enjoy the restaurant, I hope it remains that way for you, but I can't patronize this restaurant anymore after 10 years.

Diner Review №14

Pathetic service!!!!!
Extremely slow service. The server is least bothered about their guests.
They took more than 30 mins to bring the dish to the table, which was extremely irritating.
The dish had a foul smell and yet they didn't bother to replace it or even sort our issue.

Just the ambiance was good , rest all was extremely bad......

You might feel like visiting because of the ambiance and food presentation but we had a very nad experience.
Not at all suggested

Diner Review №15

I’ve been coming here with family and friends for over ten years. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. All of the vegetables and garnishes are fresh. The inside is absolutely beautiful, creating a beautiful ambience. One of my top Thai restaurants in San Diego.

Diner Review №16

AMAZING!! The best Thai food I’ve ever had, so authentic and staff is so friendly. Best Asian in SD highly recommend and will be coming back!!

Diner Review №17

Chicken Drunken Noodles and pork Red Curry with Egg Rolls and Waterfall pork. Love this place. Delicious Thai and mamasan as host is very attentive. Beautiful decorations and mellow ambiance. Been here 6+times.

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

Have been visiting over 5 years. The quality, taste and presentation of food, ambience and service have been consistently good. One of the best Thai restaurants in all of San Diego!

Diner Review №20

Massaman beef Curry is a favorite of mine, and likely the best I have had is at Siam Mara Thai Cusine.

Diner Review №21

The visit on 11/27/2024 night was my third visit in this restaurant.

I started to write reviews on Google since the COVID. It is because somehow I hope a good review can help the restaurant business.

Everyone has different taste buds. Some people like spicy food, others like sweet and sour. And everyone has different perspectives of good and bad service.

Now, the review I would like to share is because there was a special incident happened on Wednesday night.

It was more crowded than we expected. There were only two servers, one old woman and one old man. Both of them are restaurant owners.

By the time around 9 pm, we were about to leave. All of a sudden, a couple of customers were complaining about the slow service and bad attitude, something like the server slamming the dish on the table.

These couple are absolutely right about the slow service.

However, they could have a little more empathy towards these two old people. At least, not yelling. We heard the yelling all the way from the end of the restaurant and they were in the front.

Imagine the owner didn't mean to slam the dish on the table. It could be because he was not able to hold the heavy plates steadily after long hour of working.

Anyway, the food was great. It's definitely worth a shot.👍👍👍👍

The service will be slower than you expect.

Prices have gone up compared to my first visit.

Advice: call before you go. If there are only two old servers, maybe you can choose not to go.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Diner Review №22

Very good hot and spicy green curry shrimp, and mild green curry chicken my wife ordered. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №23

Food quality has gone down and even customer service is below average. Zero tolerance for kids.

Diner Review №24

Visited a party of four. Ordered Tom Yum, Fried Rice, Red curry, drunken noodles and mango sticky rice. The restaurant has a very traditional and aesthetic ambiance. Definitely something different. Food quantity was less compared to other restaurants for the same price. Food quality was average at best. Food presentation definitely earned it a star. However, there are plenty of other restaurants that offer better thai food. Even with the slow crowd, you would constantly need to look for a server. Definitely could use a proactive approach.

Diner Review №25

Excellent furnishing, utensils, atmosphere, service, and food.

Diner Review №26

Some of our food was only a little warm, I wish it was hotter (temperature).

Good atmosphere/decorations

Customer service 5/10

Thai fried rice tasted like KETCHUP! no Thai flavour at all in the Thai fried rice.

Portion sizes were smaller. Overall a mid Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №27

When Siam Nara first opened, it was probably one of my favorite Thai restaurants in San Diego. It felt like quality authentic Thai food in a beautiful restaurant. The last few times I went, the food was good (not great) and the prices have only continued to climb. The quality of the food is very good.

Things I love: They label gluten free items & ingredients clearly. Service is great! Decor is lush and beautiful. There is plenty of parking in the lot. They appreciate reservations, but take walk ins.

Diner Review №28

This is our favorite go to sit down Thai restaurant. I will start off by saying we love the food here but cant wit to fish our dinner so we can have there amazing deserts! Our favorite the Mango Sticky rice and always seems to be in season!

Diner Review №29

可以嘗試一下👍👍👍

Diner Review №37

I just came to the restaurant to pick up my order, which I made over the telephone. My order was perfect: ready to go when I arrived, the staff was super friendly and the food was straight up delicious, as if I were back in Thailand. Would definitly recommend. I will be back and take my wife to dine in, the ambiance of the place looked pretty amazing for a Mira Mesa location.

Diner Review №38

We had a team outing lunch for 20/22 people. The lunch orders were messed up. No apologies, no offer to make the dish right. This place used to be crowded during lunch hour. Not any more

Diner Review №39

Used to like this place. With competitors like Sab e Lee not too far away, these guys need to up their game, particularly around service and communication. Probably not going back for a while.

Diner Review №40

Absolutely excellent food, presentation, prices, and atmosphere! The food was very fresh and vibrant! My new Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №41

Like a Michelin Star

Diner Review №42

Gotta say I really do over look some restaurants but I’m so glad I didn’t miss this place!

I was coming back from the gym & I saw Thai food & I couldn’t believe the atmosphere so high class and lovely.

I walked in with casual clothes & was welcomed with open arms, next time I’ll come dressed to impress haha.

My server was super kind and helpful & the food was absolutely delicious

Diner Review №43

This is a delightful Thai restaurant with creative food.   We began with a smoky cocktail of Ma-Lai which was made with bael juice and prosecco and presented on a platter with a rose and smoke of course.   The Singha Thai larger was also very smooth and light.   We had a delicious Som Tum salad and the combination of green papaya,  chillis and tomatoes along with the lime dressing never disappoints,  and the crunch of the peanuts adds a further dimension.  The Tom Kah soup was great with all the oyster mushrooms and tofu suspended in a broth of coconut and lime and cilantro.   Our entrees included the famous basil eggplant with roast duck and perfect spices.   And the See Ey Noodles were stir fried with egg. Broccoli,  mock duck and cilantro,  what a delight.

The food was superb and if service was a bit better,  this would have been 5 stars.

Diner Review №45

This is my fav Thai restaurant in the area. Everything is top notch. The environment, service, menu, utensils and of course the most important thing is taste. They really nailed it delivering best Thai. Great experience every time :)

Diner Review №46

Fried fish fillets in tamarind sauce is delicious and a must order. .love the coconut drinks and homemade crispy cookies!!! if you are into duck the three way duck is also delicious. Calamari was super chew, but I really like chewy. very friendly staff and superb service!!!

Diner Review №47

Really pretty inside, but food was mediocre at best. Had to flag someone down if you needed anything. Everything tasted just…meh. Was hoping this would be our go to Thai place….the search continues. Also felt it was overpriced.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Hospitable place and great food!

Diner Review №50

I paid $86 for the 4 not quality dishes - California Dream/curry with avocado is a terrible idea, tasteless papaya salad, fried fish smells the old oil for frying and tomyum soup is average at best. It used to be good but IDK what happens?

Diner Review №51

This restaurant has it all in terms of fast service, courteous staff, and beautiful presentation of food and ambience.

I was recommended this place by a friend, and have recommended it twice more to others.

The overall presentation is amazing but it completely lacks essence. It's almost a disservice of Thai food. Thai test kitchen is way better. Utterly disappointed.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Dry drunken noodles
Tasteless papaya salad
Ordered vegetables for $3 xtra no vegetables just potatoes
Hard to mess up yellow curry so that was good. 3 items for $47 shame on you!

Diner Review №66

One of my closest friends and I have come to this restaurant a couple of times as we both like Thai food. It is overall good but the last time not so much. It took forever (slow time of afternoon too) and even to get our Thai coffee to start was a wait. Then halfway through our lunch some guy was vacuuming while we and four other tables were trying to talk and enjoy our lunch. We just started laughing because it was so unbelievable. We will look for another place next time.

Diner Review №67

Nice Thai decorations.

Diner Review №68

The food is 4 stars, not bad, but I've had better dishes elsewhere. The service itself would be 3 stars, but the waiter's snappy and rude attitude kind of ruined our meal. Therefore, 1 star for the overall experience - there are much better Thai restaurants in San Diego in terms of food, service, and price in my opinion.

Diner Review №70

I just had Christmas Eve dinner here with my family. We had reservations but maybe there was some miscommunication over the phone because they couldn’t find us in the system. Despite this, they were still able to seat us. Service was prompt, especially considering how busy they were and the size of our group (13 total). Everyone really enjoyed the food, especially the rainbow shrimp and the tom yum soup. The restaurant was also very festive. Thank you for a delicious and memorable holiday dinner!

Diner Review №71

Exceptional on all levels! From the perfectly prepared food to the beautiful decor. I had the panang curry with tender beef. Plenty of GF selections too. Lott, I will be back with friends!
And kids will love the desert service robot! Very fun

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Beautiful resteraunt, fast service, and delicious food and lovely presentation. This place even has a robot that can deliver your Togo food to your table. Gorgeous decorations and clean atmosphere. The food and my thai tea was amazing.

Diner Review №84

My family and I were in the neighborhood and craving Thai food. Luckily we found Siam Nara Thai Cuisine.

It was our first time eating here and we had a great experience.
We had lunch here during the week so it wasn't terrible busy.

Although, there was only 1 person for table service so for him it was busy. There was a large party of about 10 people and 2 other tables with several customers including my family of four.

We ordered spicy green beans with prawns, pad thai and FBI. However,we started with dessert first. It was so delicious! As well as the entrees.

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

My friends and I went here on a recommendation from others that said it was good. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't all that great. We had to constantly ask for water, even though it wasn't busy. The food wasn't flavored and the Thai fried rice tasted like they put Ketchup in it. Just truly disappointing.

Diner Review №87

Siam Nara was good, it used to be excellent. My guess is the new owner or kitchen are still getting their 'sea legs'.

Good luck to them, looking forward to coming back.

Diner Review №88

Upon entering, you’ll be transported beyond your daily worries and routines. Allow yourself to really cherish the beauty they’ve put into the atmosphere and the love they put into the food! I recommend the Tom Yum soup (add wide rice noodles!) and mango desert sticky rice. Lott, the owner, is always a pleasure and truly cares about the quality of your experience and the community she serves. Can’t say enough good things about this Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №89

I really enjoy the ambience and the vibe at this place. My personal favorite is their mango sticky rice, one of the best I've ever had.

Diner Review №90

We loved this restaurant more than any other. We moved so far away that we haven't visited in two years. We came here today to have the usual appetizers and the delicious soup. The customer service was awful. We asked for hot water without realizing we would have to pay for it. They never requested extra main course, dessert, or water. The flavor was overpowering and disagreeable, and there were minimal amounts. When we realized the waiters would not be coming back to take orders, we wanted to go and requested for a check. My spouse was instructed not to come back to the restaurant after voicing his worries to a waiter. Upon requesting the manager, he stated

Diner Review №91

We had the worst time ever!

This restaurant was a favorite of ours. We haven't been back in two years because we relocated so far away. We came here today for the Tom yum soup and other appetizers we typically have here. The service was horrible. We requested hot water, unaware that we would be charged for it. They never asked for more water or dessert or main course. The quantities were little, and the flavor was blunt and unpleasant. We wanted to leave and asked for a check after realizing that the servers were not going to check for more orders. When my husband expressed his concerns to one of the waiters, he was asked not to return to the restaurant again. When we asked for the manager, he claimed to be the restaurant's owner. He was impolite and sent us on our way with a sarcastic thank you. I will never go back.

Diner Review №92

I had basil Thai fried rice. It's really tasteless. I asked for spice level 7, but it is definitely less than 1... totally tasteless. Also, didn't fill out our water. Terrible experience in general.

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

We ordered Soup and came cold , ordered food came cold sent it back to the kitchen came back w super bad smell. When o told her about the food she said would u like to take it home lol 😂.I would never ever come here again

Diner Review №95

Presentation of each dish was beautiful and colorful.

Panang Curry with Shrimp was very scrumptious. They bring it to your table in a hotpot like container. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. Not dry or overcooked, but tender and juicy. Would definitely order again.

Pad Thai combination version was flavorful too, but the chicken was a little dry for me. I would order the Pad Thai again because of it's flavor, but not combination style. Probably with seafood or mock duck.

Salmon fried rice was average.

Didn't care much for the Suree's Platter Sharing Plates.

Cost maybe pricey. However, for the ambience, decor, beautiful food presentation, and most of all flavorful scrumptiousness, it was worth it to me.

The finishing touch was, of course, the dessert, called "FBI" (a crispy fried banana with coconut-pineapple ice cream).

I would make the 30 minute drive anytime.

Diner Review №99

"I just got kicked out by the owner while waiting for a friend for lunch and a business meeting. I thought I could have a nice lunch with my business partner. To all of my Filipino people, let's not support this restaurant! He is very rude and unfriendly! So if you are coming to wait for your friend to have a business meeting, that's what you're going to experience. I don't know if anybody has experienced the same thing I had with him. Anybody there?"

Diner Review №100

When she gave me a bill, she mentioned that at least 18% tip...i saw it very clear in the bill, she should not state that words!!!

Diner Review №101

Love this place. The golden triangles (potato wonton) was very good. Crispy edges and soft potato center. My wife ordered the Tom Kha Kai soup. It had a hint of lime that was very complimentary to the creaminess. I ordered the Pad Thai which did not disappoint. Beautiful atmosphere and wonder service. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Diner Review №102

This place had great atmosphere and yummy food. Right when you walk, it is extravagantly decorated with cute photo opportunities. We ordered golden triangles, chicken pad thai, and tom kha kai. Staff was nice.

Diner Review №103

The food was really bad. Service was slow. The water tasted good. Won't be going back. Ever. I had the veggies abs peanut sauce. Gross looking, not appealing at all.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

I really enjoyed the food, the service and their interior decorating. They have beer and wine. No bar. The service is very personable and friendly. They have a lot of very interesting Buddhist statuary and art in and around their restaurant. The prices were moderate.

Diner Review №106

Came here with my friends, and this is the worst Thai restaurant I've ever tried. The food was cold, bland, and lacked authentic Thai flavors. We ordered beef, but it wasn't beef... The service was disappointing, as the waitstaff seemed uninterested and had an attitude. Also, the portion sizes were incredibly small for the price we paid. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and I would not recommend anyone to this place. The decoration was nice, but their food is just average and not worth the price.

Diner Review №107

Best Thai food so far!

Diner Review №108

Some of the worst fried rice I’ve ever had. Rice had a distinctly off taste. Chicken was ok but dry. Lack of veggies or “egg”. Decor was nice . Pad Thai seemed decent

Delicious food, great service, and beautiful atmosphere. I love that they post the allergy information since I'm both gluten-free and dairy-free! Highly recommend the Rama! 😋

Diner Review №115

I'm visiting from New Orleans but way of Seattle and I must say, out of all the places we've ate at thus far and by far this place is the bomb dot com! I loved everything about it. Walking in, to begin with....the decor was a Yeaas! Then the presentation of the dishes along with the food full of flavor, the spices and most of all the service. I wanted to finish my plates and lick the dishes.
I highly recommend!

Diner Review №116

This place is excellent in service food and atmosphere. It is so authentic it trult takes me back to beautiful Thailand. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Nice place. Good Thai food.

Diner Review №119

I would give a 0 star if I could. The service was absolute nasty.
We ordered 4 courses for togo. They served pork in one dish that we ordered beef. Because the food restriction, I cannot have that dish at all. For another signature platter we ordered, they only provide 3 items even though the description claimed that there were 4 items. Not to mention how small the quantities are given how pricy the dishes.
The restaurant was over 20 minutes away from our home. We didn't have the heart to go back. So we called the restaurant for a resolution, and were told that we called too late so that there is nothing they are going to do. On top of that, I was being accused of lying multiple times during that phone call.
I would never recommend this place or go there! I felt discriminated against because of my food restriction and insulted when trying to get a fair resolution.

Diner Review №120

We get there and there seemed to be some confusion about who was going to seat us. Ten minutes went by and we got someone's reluctant attention to take our drink order. An older lady frowned at us and went through the motions of helping us.

A guy appeared and gave me Thai iced tea that was so sweet it was completely undrinkable. If you froze it and tried to eat it as a dessert it'd be too sweet for ice cream. It's like they started with a basic thai iced tea and kept adding sugar until it no longer dissolved.

We had to flag down another server to say we were ready to order entrees.

My wife's drunken noodles were sweet too. My fried rice was very basic and not worth the huge prices this place has.

We will never return. I have found the best Thai places have the most modest decor. This place is decorated like a Buddhist temple and is visually stunning, but that's the end of the good news.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Very nice and clean .

Diner Review №123

The way the the food is presented is really exceptional and pretty. As far as the food and service, all I can say that I have been to better Thai restaurants with much better and intense flavors.

Diner Review №124

A great dining experience! Everything is delicious, presentation is beautiful, customer service is excellent! The place is clean, plates and cutlery were top notch. Cherry on top was the dessert of mango sticky rice. Will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №125

Fancy family business at reasonable price! Great authentic decor and courteous service. The food was delicious, many options on the menu (for carnivores and vegetarians alike), cocktails and different milk tea beverages with amazing flower decorations- 5 stars!

Diner Review №126

The best Tom kah, green curry is good (spicy and yummy) egg rolls and spring rolls are so good as well! Taking off a point for Thai tea- the tea was great but the boba was awful (but that’s okay they are not a boba store). Love the decor it’s always something beautiful and I think they change the entrance way monthly?

We consistently come here & the food is always on point 💛

Diner Review №127

We love this place. Very beautiful ambience. Food is great too. Love their customer service. They are always polite and sweet ♥️

Diner Review №128

1. Foods are expensive and not tasty. Some dishes are too sweet.
2. The lady boss is not so nice and friendly.
3. No services, but the 18% tip is mandatory.
4. Siam Nara is not a good choice for Thai food.

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Not recommended. This placed used to be great. Unfortunately, the price has gone up significantly and the portion and quality has gone done. Green curry with shrimp - 5 shrimp in watery curry soup with just bamboo shoots and 5 slices of green peppers. Ko Moo Yang has lots of burned meat (the owner stated those were marks from the grill) In my opinion, obviously some of them had past the point of being edible. Save the money and go to eat at sab-e-lee

Diner Review №131

Really pretty inside the resturant! As for the food, small portion for a high price. The food is not spectacular, it's good, but it isn't something to be "wowed" about.
If you're looking for thai food, consider a place that isn't overpriced for food that isn't that great.

Diner Review №132

Stunningly beautiful restaurant! The decor is fantastic! The service is exceptional! And the food! 15 out of 10! I have never seen so many choices in a Thai menu! Came in for lunch with a vendor and will return for dinner with my husband!

Mango sticky rice
The best in San Diego

Diner Review №137

Delicious and authentic Thai food in San Diego. I enjoyed drunken noodles and panang curry

Diner Review №138

Some of the best and beautiful Thai food in San Diego!

Diner Review №139

The food is excellent, been a few times to this restaurant.

The service is always on the unpleasant side.

Diner Review №140

We dined this restaurant with my family of three 04/1/23 evening between 6-7 PM ,ordered following menu

1)Drunken noodles

2)Spicy fried rice

3)Basil Eggplant

During order we told them specifically to keep less vegetables on Drunken noodles.

What’s got delivered was ridiculous.

Drunken noodle plate was full of vegetables and I have to plough through entire plate to take out the noodles. Noodles was very less with veggies filling entire plate.

We have tasted drunken noodles in multiple thai restaurants for last 10 years it’s the first time we see it’s delivered with full of vegetables.

Basil eggplant was so dry that we couldn’t eat with jasmine rice.

We told owner if they can fix it and she argued with us for 10 mins instead of helping us.

It’s first time we see owner being very rude and not listening to customers genuine request.

She was so rude that she charged us for hot water,see attached receipt.

Finally we had to leave the restaurant in the middle of dinner and go to another restaurant to finish our dinner.

Very very poor customer service and particularly owner is very rude.

If you are seasoned thai food junky like us,I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Diner Review №141

I love this steamed fish so delicioussecond time be here again

Diner Review №142

The food is so beautifully presented and the atmosphere so convincing but the best surprise walking into this fine restaurant tucked away so unpretensiously in a strip mall is the food. the flavors are out of this world.

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

We were two and shared the Panang Curry, Drunken Noodles and the Thai Sausage. Everything was perfectly prepared, portions adequate for the price (maybe a tad small) and service impeccable. The sausage is a must!
Our new go to Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №145

Very expensive comparing to the amount of food they give you!

I bought drunken noodles with chicken , they gave me more bean sprouts than noodles and there small pieces of chicken.

Do not go there

Diner Review №146

What a delightful Thai restaurant! The food was delicious. Be sure to try the Rama; steamed broccoli and vegetables smothered in a delectable peanut sauce. I added fried tofu. A real treat! Tremendous selection of Thai dishes in a beautifully decorated restaurant. Check out the food delivery robot!

Diner Review №147

Diner Review №148

Service and ambience in this place are very good. Absolutely love the decor, cutleries and the ambience.

There aren't that many good Thai restaurants in Mira Mesa, so this one is somewhat a monopoly on that ahaha :D

It is overpriced for the quantity they offer. If there's one feedback I'd have to provide management, it has to be on the pricing/quanity.

Thai Curry and Pad Thai here are good. There was also an Eggplant based dish which I loved here.

Worth visiting purely for the ambience. I would recommend reserving a table before visiting the place. They staff here are very helpful.

Diner Review №149

I have been here off and on for more than 10 years and the food has always been delicious. But on this night, I was not impressed and I think I know why.

It was my first time getting drunken noodles with vegetables. I should have gotten tofu. The vegetables were like pickled. It had a sour taste. It definitely was not marinated with the drunken noodle sauce. This dish was a flop.

I also ordered vegetarian curry puffs and those were good. Inside had potatoes, peas, carrots and onions in a curry sauce. You dip it with the cucumber relish. It’s like mini empanadas. Very tasty.

The decor was different than I remembered. So much better and spacious. Beautiful in purple chair covers. The fake flowers brought in a lot of the beauty. Instagramable back drop in the waiting area. Their wine collection is massive.

It doesn't stand out, but it's good thai food. I will say that it is more expensive than some other spots and there wasn't anything to gain from the extra cost. The garlic chicken wings aren't that good here. You could skip those. Headsup: the medium is spicy here.

Easily my favorite Thai food place by far. If the food cost twice as much, I'd still go. The decor and the atmosphere is great. The food is clearly the best Thai food out of the 50 or so Thai food places I've been to in San Diego. I wish I could give it 9 stars.

Siam Nara is my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. The restaurant features whimsical happy decor, many private booths for groups of six and a variety of other dining configurations. Recently they added fancy mixology cocktails to their offerings. I had a smoky cocktail that was divine. My favorites to order here are Chuchi shrimp, curry puffs, papaya salad, avocado egg rolls, drunken noodles, Penang curry. You can also order takeout or Uber eats.

great food, nice presentation, nice clean place, no lunch specials and on the pricier side if you’re looking for value.

You guys should probably warn customers about long to go order wait times.
Waited an hour for my food.
Had I known that when I placed the order, I would have said nvm and gone else where 🙄

Diner Review №164

The place was fairly well decorated and the atmosphere was nice however, their service was pretty bad, we were seated and had to wait quite a while before someone even took our order, then after we ordered we sat for quite a substantial amount of time waiting for the food and nobody even bothered checking in on us the whole time.

Great food and service overall. A slight twist than my normal Thai cuisine. The pat si eew have a slight lemon in it but moist and slightly sweet. The calamari is harder to chew but flavorful. Recommended

Quality food and great ambiance

Diner Review №175

Many traditional ingredients seem to be substituted for cheaper ingredients. Soup was bland and curry was so watered down it was a soup. Asked for extra spicy (8/10) but the food was flavorless. Food was very expensive for Thai food of that quality. Also, please pay your workers a decent wage, I shouldn’t be asked to give 30% tip on a pickup order.

The decor is nice and I love their alcohol free mojito. Overall the price is a little expensive.

Diner Review №178

I've been to this place several times now and it has been great each time. They offer some unusual selections that are amazingly presented (looks like art) and oh-so delicious. This time I had the mango fish dish. OMG, was just excellent. Can't wait to have it again. If the food and presentation isn't a big enough draw, then go to see the robot waiter. Just go - you won't be disappointed. The place is very popular so you may want to make a reservation or go earlier.

Bad service

Diner Review №181

We got take out, two noodles and a red curry. I ordered a pad thai with pork and no egg, I received pad thai with egg, tofu, and no pork. Not impressed with the portion size given the price. Neither the medium and hot spice levels were spicy.

This place looks very nice the food is okay.
The service was bad, they took my order for appetizers and they took an hour to come out to take our order for food. some were even cold/frozen. After we ate our food and paid the waiter ran out after us for a tip when they provided terrible service.
