Authentic taste with real Thai ingredients and very fair pricing. What's not to love? Made this is our new Friday lunch spot.

Diner Review №2

Diner Review №3

Ordered drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice spice level 6-8. Quantity of the Drunken noodles was very little, very small portion size. Used to be enough for two people twice but now barely enough for one person.

Diner Review №4

This is my absolute favorite Thai food place. I have been coming here since 2020 and I have really never found anywhere better. The drunken noodles here is my favorite meal of all time, the yellow curry and pak raum mit are an honorable mention. Will be a regular customer for a long time.

Diner Review №5

My favorite panang curry of any Thai restaurant!

Diner Review №6

Diner Review №7

We ordered lunch to be delivered today, I got the yellow curry with shrimp and white rice. The food arrived very hot, fresh and was delicious!

Diner Review №8

BEST PAD THAI EVER!!! I always come here with friends and family, their food is so tasty and the staff are friendly. The veggie pad thai is my favorite. I will always recommend this place to friends and family for lunch and dinner:) Best pad thai in San Diego. The noodles are delicious and have the perfect Chewyness and flavor

Diner Review №9

Diner Review №10

My family and I had the pad see eww! It is so good! The flavor, the wide noodles and my all time favorite, the spice! I saw that they used real peppers and not the dried grounded peppers. The server was very kind and patient. My new favorite place! I’ve been looking for somewhere that serves great pad see eww and after so many failures, I finally found it! Thank you!

Diner Review №11

Top-notch garlic wings and yellow curry. Each worth the $13.95 prices (August 2024). The chicken satay skewers, a bit overpriced at $9.95 for 4 very thin skewers, albeit delicious ones. The staff were very nice. We'll be back for more of the wings for sure!

Diner Review №12

Best Thai I’ve ever had

Diner Review №13

Had some green curry and pad Thai here this evening and was so happy with the flavors. This is my new go-to Thai place in San Marcos.

Diner Review №14

Excellent food & service 😋

Diner Review №15

In all honesty, Muay Thai has just enough punch to make it to 4 stars. The food is not mind-blowing, with most of the flavor relying on that classic Thai spiciness to carry the weight. The staff are friendly but tables and chairs are sticky and for the prices, are not worth the time in my opinion.

Diner Review №16

Diner Review №17

Absolute best Thai I have found in the San Diego area. Coming from the Bay Area where the supply is ample and almost always amazing, the Thai food options in San Diego have been very disappointing. Everything I have ordered here has been stellar and the staff are fantastic. Highly recommend even though I want to keep it my secret.

Diner Review №18

This place is tasty! I've had pad Thai, Thai tea, spring and fresh rolls, fried rice... so far everything has been delicious. It's our go to for N County Thai Food. Seats are cafeteria style so not a place to lounge, more of a eat n go atmosphere.

Diner Review №19

My $15 chicken curry had TWO SMALL BITES of chicken in it. No joke. TWO BITES of chicken. Not to mention, the size of the container was about 75% of what it used to be. Seems the side of rice is smaller as well. Total waste of money and I feel ripped off. Used to love this place.

Diner Review №22

I used to have a good review about this place and would have recommend it, until now. They don't really have AMAZING food but it was good enough in a pinch for some thai food. I would swing by this place out of convenience but now it's more inconvenient than not. I get my order about 45 mins before closing I order two small dishes nothing demanding no alterations. I also made this order with all tofu and requested that and confirmed it with the woman on the phone. Long story short I come home and there is shrimp instead of tofu. By the time I get to my box they're closed. No big deal I toss the box and figure I'll call the next day. I call the restaurant to let them know and they actually demand I PROVE the order was wrong. I told them I tossed the food and that seems like a wierd request to ask for a picture. Moving on I decided it wasn't handled with respects to the customer or self responsibility over a small mistake that could have easily been corrected with a replacement and not a once over by staff and requesting proof of the error. I'm done here. There are plenty of restraunts that would have just replaced it apologized and moved on. There are alot of other REALLY great thai places around town. Some I haven't tried yet. I'll be looking forward to trying all of the other thai places because this place isn't worth supporting.

Diner Review №23

Excellent:)

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

Really good food, drunken noodles are great, salt and pepper chicken, fried egg rolls, basil chicken. All so yummy. We like their Thai lemonade. We eat here frequently.

Diner Review №26

Delicious food with great service.
Im from Thailand and their food made me feel like home.

Diner Review №27

Best, fresh Thai food in Escondido! I did both Togo and dine in on a separate occasion and both was great.

Diner Review №28

My family loves this place, our go to Thai restaurant even though it isn’t the closest.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Diner Review №31

I got two orders of drunken noodles and one order of garlic chicken wings. I paid around $50 plus tip and I thought maybe the drunken noodle orders would be huge. Despite my bag being so light. I had hope but when I got home I found the noodles to be stuck together into a sad little ball in two different containers. As if one order had been split into two. They were still great tasting but I felt robbed and wondered if the noodles were old and they just split them in two containers. Will probably not go back again. But it was good for a quick crave of noodles.

Diner Review №32

I'll take panda over this place.

Diner Review №33

Great Food!! Highly Recommend!

Diner Review №34

Best Drunken Noodle is the best I have had!

Diner Review №35

My favorite Thai place of all time. I love their spicy fried rice! Their food is always hot and flavorful, I haven't been disappointed yet.

Diner Review №36

I ordered some food here and it had alot of oil. It's like they dumped it on it. Even the peanut sauce had alot of it.

Diner Review №37

Best Thai food I've had in California.

Diner Review №38

This place a in the rotation for sure. Good Curry and they have mock duck sogood

Diner Review №39

I always come here for the best drunken noodles in San Diego County.

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Love the food here!! My mom and I have tried many Thai food places from Oceanside, Vista, Escondido and this is our favorite ❤️❤️

Diner Review №42

Don't order Door Dash here. They take 45 minutes to make your food. The food is ok, I actually had this happen twice. Hopefully my mistake helps someone else. Bad management, bad service, mediocre food.

Diner Review №43

Love the quaint place and the food! Too bad they are closed on Mondays, but they deserve some time off.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

Went here because of the reviews. Gave 4 stars because it was def good, but it wasn’t mind blowing in my opinion. I got the broccoli and beef, chicken pad Thai, satay chicken, and garlic wings. The broccoli beef was an all around favorite for my family, it was so good and the broccoli tasted so good too. Def a 5/5 and also can with a side of rice. I was too full to finish the chicken pad thai I personally ordered after eating a bunch of broccoli but it was def more sweet, I would give it a 4/5. Good portion too. My 6 year old brother ate the satay chicken which he enjoyed, def good for kids who are more picky because they don’t put the sauce on top, they put it on the side which is good. And then the garlic chicken we ordered didn’t get finished bc we were full, but it wasn’t anything special but it wasn’t bad. I think it could use more flavor. But I would give that a 3/5. All around a pretty solid place.

Diner Review №46

Excellent Thai food experience!

Diner Review №47

Great food, fun people, reasonable prices. Would recommend and 100% going back.

Diner Review №48

Great place to have lunch had their Panang Curry with 2 spring rolls and Boba tea. Everything was great.

Diner Review №49

Casual and very high quality.
Chicken satay and peanut sauce was some of the best I have had.

The tropical curry with shrimp was so fresh and plenty for lunch tomorrow l.

The mango sticky rice was delicious and plenty to take home.

Easy to grab a table or to go.
Very friendly and simple as their focus is the food!

Diner Review №50

Food was so delicious , price and portion right on point !!!!!We were looking on the internet for a new Thai spot and this will be it from now on . And the view at sunset isn’t bad too .

Diner Review №51

Number one our order was wrong we ordered one spring roll, one pot sticker, we got two potstickers.
Number two we ordered two noodle dishes, 1 tofu and one pork the flavor for both dishes was lacking there was no pork in one dish.
We were hoping to find a Thai restaurant that was close to our home, but we were sorely disappointed.

Diner Review №52

delicious food and welcoming atmoshpere, the thai tea and coffee are my favorites!

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Very bland food and over priced for the portion sizes. In regards to customer service, the staff is very impatient. Had to tell the waitress to give my table more time to look at the menu because she was demanding we place our orders right then and there. I ordered spicy fried rice and it was burnt and not spicy at all.

Diner Review №55

Our new go to Thai in North County. We used to frequent Kinaly Thai, but the taste and portions changed for the worse after a recent ownership change.

Be warned, it's pretty spicy here! I normally go for a 7 and add additional spice at home, but a 6-8 here had me pleasantly sweating!

My wife got "no spice"and still thought it had some kick. Fantastic!

Diner Review №56

i’ve been coming here since opening day and the food is just as amazing as the people. super kind with food that continues to exceed expectation!

Diner Review №57

Accessibility: there is a disabled parking spot with a ramp in front of the building (see photos). The door to enter is a pull door. Inside there are lots of wheelchair accessible tables with moveable chairs. No seating outside.

Experience: I came in as a walk in and realized later that's probably a mistake. It took at least 30 minutes for the food to be made (which I know is because they are super busy), but man I was hungry. The food was okay. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't the best Thai I've had. I think I would try another Thai place before coming back here. For two orders of Thai Fried Rice it cost 27 dollars.

Diner Review №58

The food was good but the service was very bad. I called for a order pick up and the lady was very rude and impatient in the phone. I won’t come back.

This place is a hidden gem 😍 so delicious! Great customer service & casual atmosphere 👍🏻

Diner Review №62

only eaten here a couple of times but so far super impressed. coming from all the options in Los Angeles and orange county this is on par with most any of the others I've had.

Diner Review №63

Hands down, best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. Like… just trust me. Just go here. Curry is SOOOO flavorful that even a lick on your spoon will send your eyes rolling to the back of your skull in .5 seconds. Fried tofu is perfect texture. Cashew Stir Fry is perfectly crisp-tender fresh, with a delicious flavorful spicy and savory sauce. Can order things gluten free and vegan if desired. Thank you for the delightful meal, Muay Thai! I wish I lived closer or knew all the secrets to cook like this 😭❤️

Diner Review №64

My new Favorite! Especially love the pre packaged spices included in take out ! Very thoughtful. Spice as you like. Fair price. Good value.

Diner Review №66

WHAT A FIND!!!!

Amazing flavorful food. You will love this place and the food. We tried red curry, garlic wings,spicy chicken fried rice 🍚. Everything was so good that we ate it all.

Diner Review №67

I stopped here pretty randomly after a hike and liked the food so much that I now regularly drive 25 minutes just eat there. I love the spicy fried rice and my husband likes the green curry. Excellent peanut sauce too.

For a small hole in the wall resteraunt/fast food Thia food it was great, and I would come back again. Friend rice is tasty actually everything we ordered for our birthdays was good. Recommended!!!

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Compared to other Thai places in North county it holds it's own. Great wontons, great beef pad Thai. Really nice people and fast service. Probably will be going again here soon. Would recommend.

Diner Review №77

This is by far the best Thai food in San Diego County!!! I have tried at least a dozen Thai Restaurants and none compare to the quality, texture, and taste of their food. If you like medium spicy at a 5 or 6, I recommend ordering it at mild or a 3. I tried this restaurant 6 months ago and will not go anywhere else!

Diner Review №78

I don’t know if the quality has always been this bad but this is the worst Thai food I’ve eaten in my 42 years. Island Curry was more like soup super watery and giant vegetables inside most I think frozen also not the same as what the menu listed. Pad Thai had no peanuts, cilantro or lime and lacked flavor. Too expensive for the quality of food.

Diner Review №79

They were so amazing. When the server learnt that it was my birthday they threw in an extra tom ka! The food is delicious, really brings back memories of being back home in Thailand. A MUST for Thai food lovers in the area.

Diner Review №80

Best Drunken Noodles & Fresh rolls that I have found in ALL of San Diego. I'm sure I'd say the same about the other dishes but I only get these two items every time I go. Staff is very kind and the place is clean. Love 'em. 5 Stars all day!

Diner Review №81

Not always the best customer service but excellent food! Highly recommend...do order the garlic wings...delicious

Diner Review №82

Love the staff. Food awesome every time!🤗

Diner Review №83

Zero stars if I could. We ordered 3 lunch specials (sweet and sour stir fry, broccoli stir fry, & Thai stir fried rice). We ordered everything vegan, the soup that came w/ it tasted like seafood & the salad dressing tasted like it was mayo based. The sweet and sour was bland it didn’t even taste like sweet and sour plus it didn’t have my pineapple w/ it either; it was basically onion/bell peppers/green beans/broccoli. The broccoli stir fried was basically veggies in soy sauce. The Thai stir fried had very soggy rice and was extremely bland. The size of the tomatoes basically took up space in our to go orders. For the $32 bucks we spent I should have honestly just bought a bag of frozen veggies from Costco & added my own seasoning & would have had better results.

Diner Review №84

I got the spicy noodles to go. The servers seemed very attentive and waiting was less than 10 minutes. The food tastes hot and fresh. Very enjoyable.

The location was hard to find. I passed it twice before I finally saw it.

Diner Review №85

Food was delicious. Service was great. Medium spicy is a 3 out of 10, FYI. We had Tom Yum (hot pot), Pad Thai, and green curry. All were tasty and spice level 4/10. We were sweating by the end of dinner. It's nice to have a great Thai place nearby. I absolutely adored the cups of water and the Thai iced coffee got my motor running. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant and making it one of your go-to's.

Diner Review №86

Sensational flavors! Wholesome ingredients and great prices. I absolutely enjoyed my meal!

Really good food! The medium is hot but darn tasty. Really enjoyed the selection available and everything came out fast. Flavours are outstanding as is the service. We'll be back for sure!

Diner Review №122

My wife and I have been wanting to try this place since they opened and we finally got the chance and enjoyed it very much. We ordered our favorite Thai dishes as a baseline to compare to and discovered that the food was delicious. Not only was there effort put into plating but the ingredients were fresh and very flavorful. It's easy to make a curry all one flavor but Muay Thai Kitchen did not have that at all. You could taste the blend of spices along with each individual bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. It was fantastic. One thing to note is that the spices they use here are a little bit spicier than what we're used to in this neighborhood. If you enjoy hot, go for medium. Medium? Go for mild. Mild? Go for no spice. When all is said and done, I recommend giving Muay Thai Kitchen a try and you will enjoy a kick in the mouth.

Excellent place. The food is great, it has not disappointed. We have been there several times in 2019. Small place.

Diner Review №126

Great new thai place in escondido, a bit hidden in the shopping center but worth checking out. food was great I tried the lunch special and will be back.

Diner Review №127

I met up with a friend around 330pm today. It was my first time and she has visited this place a lot. I ordered Panang Curry with Pork in #1 spice level and a Thai Iced Tea. My friend ordered her usual. Everything was delicious! Prices are not bad and the staff are very nice. I can't wait to try the other items.

Diner Review №128

I visited Thailand in December and after coming back from there I visited this place and trust me they serve authentic thai food. It's a small budget friendly restaurant. I love there lunch time soup. My husband ordered yellow curry and I ordered green curry which was spicy but ohh sooo delicious.
So if you like thai food and in San Marcos area then I would definitely recommend you to try this place. You wont be disappointed. We weren't for sure.

Diner Review №129

My go to thai place. It's a casual quick eat place with delicious food and large portions. If you want a 10 (and I mean a real thai 10) ask for over 9000 spicy level. I recommend the spicy fried rice over 9000 shrimp or beef. When you want delicious thai food, this should be at the top of your list.

Diner Review №130

My husband and I were in the San Marcos area and we were looking for a great Thai restaurant to eat at & we did not have to look far. Muay Thai restaurant has fresh tasty Thai food. I love the lunch time soup. It tasted like the Tom kah Soup without the chicken!! It was so yummy though!! 😋
My husband ordered the yellow curry which was spicy but oooh sooo good!!
I ordered the pad see ew both with chicken. Then I added cashew nuts because I always add cashew nuts to everything! 😁 LOL.
If you like Thai food and you're in the San Marcos area then I would definitely check out Muay Thai restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

Diner Review №131

Very good enjoyable food

Diner Review №132

Best See Ew I've ever had. Great little place with great service. Will definitely return.

Diner Review №133

Very good little restaurant! Was a little worried at first regarding location and size of shop, but very good food! And food was served timely!

Diner Review №134

Love thurs place!

Diner Review №135

Cute place. The food was really good. Had the cashew nut stir fry and hubby had the island curry. Both dishes were delicious. Our water cups came in strange silver bowls. It was cute, but not practical. Would likely go back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №136

Very good food. With some good variety.

Diner Review №137

Always excellent service and the food is hot and tasty!

Diner Review №138

Great food, great prices, and fast friendly service. What else can I ask for? It was a very casual dining experience that was somehow still very authentic. I ordered a water and they gave it to me in a silver bowl. They were very serious about asking about spice levels and made sure we were comfortable with our spice Choice. Apparently it can be crazy spicy if you let them.

Diner Review №139

The best in town .

Diner Review №140

A pretty average Thai place. It's a smaller sized space, but clean inside. There's a menu that has the main items, plus there's a lunch menu that's served everyday 11-3. This was my choice, you get a little salad, a little soup, and a main entree, which I'm assuming is smaller than a regular-sized portion. The lunch size is alright, it's good for a small meal if you're not too hungry.

I decided on the garlic & black pepper stir fry with tofu. This had flavor, but is mostly soy sauce. Portion-wise it's fine, but I feel like it was missing something. Overall, this is a fine place to get food.

Diner Review №141

We enjoyed our meal

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

The WORST SERVICE EVER, imagine l made an order by Website and when l arrived on time to get it found it's NOT READY! I waited EXTRA 20 minutes to get my order and my order is very simple. It's better than talking by phone and continue laughing, do your job that you get money from it and pick up my/ and other orders.

What a delight! Tastefully decorated inside. Very attentive hard working staff and food prepared fresh to order.
There is a full menu. We sampled the chicken satay which were perfectly marinated, juicy, tender with excellent satay sauce. The spring rolls we're hot and crispy. The tom kha soup had the perfect blend of coconut and lime. The panang beef was spot on tasty, as was the sweet basil and ginger chicken. Even the water was icy cold and filtered. Overall, very good Thai food.

Diner Review №151

Excellent food and service

Diner Review №152

Excellent fresh food. I ordered food to go for four people. They offered me ice water while i waited. The food was excellent. They only had me wait about ten minutes for a lot of food. I will definitely be going back.

Diner Review №162

I ordered lunch for my whole staff from across the street at San Marcos Dental Group (about 10 orders) and it was all correct! Thank you, I will be a regular customer here.
