The Best Thai food in San Diego hands down! Always great service with a smile! What more could you ask for..? We have been to Thailand and this food is spot on to what we ate when we were there.

This place is so good I’m in love with their khao soi. I come here with friends and tried a bit of everyone else’s stuff (pad see ew, pad thai, pandan curry, tom yum, etc) and everything is incredible. This place is such a hidden gem with incredible staff. They are on the spicier side, which I personally love but just a heads up to everyone, even a 6 is pretty spicy 😮‍💨 I love this place so much, glad I decided to check it out on a whim 🫶 you don’t need to focus on decorations when your food is this good 🔥 if you don’t know what to order I recommend their Khao Soi!! But honestly everything is so tasty you won’t find anything bad here.

This place is really good! I’m obsessed with their crispy catfish salad. Every time I’m in San Diego. I have to stop by and get it at least once! It’s best if you order it there, but if you get it to go, they keep the sauce on the side so that it doesn’t get soggy. This dish may sound odd if you’ve never tried it, but it is so tangy flavorful and delicious. You can choose your own spice level, but they take spice seriously I typically go with a level three or four. Everyone working there is super sweet and sometimes they’ll give you a free dessert with cantaloupe and creamy Sago. That dessert is so good.

This restaurant has great reviews on Yelp and Google, and it’s clearly popular—my husband said it was packed when he picked up our order. We tried the Tom Yum Soup, Coconut Curry Chicken, and Green Papaya Salad. All three were good, but the standout was the Nyonya Coconut Curry Chicken—slightly sweet, mildly spicy, and perfect over rice. The Tom Yum Soup had large shrimp and a rich, flavorful broth (a bit too rich for me). The Green Papaya Salad was fresh with a nice mix of ingredients, though it could use a bit more fish sauce.

This is one of the best Thai food spots in San Diego. It’s a small, family-owned restaurant with excellent food and great service. The dishes are fresh and not greasy like some other places. Every time I’m in San Diego and craving Thai food, this is my go-to spot. All their food is great, but I especially love the drunken noodles and basil eggplant. Their curries are also amazing. They also have lunch specials for 13.95, which are a great deal. Just a heads-up, the spice level is no joke. On their scale from 1 to 10, I usually stick to a 3, and it’s still plenty spicy. Highly recommend!
