Not sure why this place has 4.4 stars. It’s cheap which is great but the food was probably the worst Thai I’ve had. You get what you pay for.

What a great spot for Thai food in Pacific Beach. It is one of the gems that I would say is worth visiting because it fed my whole family for a pretty good price. The crispy spring rolls were pretty good and crisp. The green curry was a surprising star because of the spicy of coconut and squash. We also got Tom Kha soup in the side of brown rice and steamed vegetables. I would skip the Massaman curry because it was a little too sweet for my taste.Worth a visit.

We've eaten from this place a few times - delivery and in person. We've tried the rice dishes, noodles, and soups and everything was really good. The servers were always very friendly and you can usually find a place to sit and eat, if you wanted.

Very large, spacious, and beautiful interior! Friendly staff. Affordable prices; keep in mind these are individual portions, not shareable dishes.The pad see ew was average good, I loved that it had that smokiness and a decent amount of chicken. I only wish the flavor was stronger than the smoke. It does come with bok choy (not pictured because I am a veggie hater).My friends got pad Thai, and they both enjoyed it! I also got a Thai tea, and it was perfectly sweet and milky (not perfect if you prefer less sweet). We all got free spring rolls which was so nice too.It's located off a pretty busy street though. Parking is a nuisance since the spots are usually full and I think some are timed? There was a small lot, but I wasn't sure if it was all reserved for the animal hospital. We may or may not have parked across the street at TJ's.

Reasonably priced tasty green curry on the lighter side.Vegetarian options: Maybe the green curry is vegan by default when ordered w/ veggies & tofu?

I came here on a Friday afternoon around 2pm as I used to work by the 55 Thai Kitchen downtown (it closed) and I ordered from there a lot and have fond memories of the food.The interior is huge. There is plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating (plus koi pond). There is a lot of greenery and water feature with plants.I walked to the counter and ordered thai fried rice (cause I am basic and it is what I always ordered and liked the best). To my surprise it came with a spring roll included.After a short wait I got my food. It was steaming hot! Fresh out the kitchen. But then I tasted it and it tasted burnt. I was hungry so I ate it but was disappointed as the only flavor was char/burnt. The chicken did not seem seasoned at all and it was overall very lackluster and not how I remembered it.It was a pain to get here as it is on the outskirts of PB and street parking nearby is hard to find. I parked about a half a mile away and walked and was really looking forward to it and it was just disappointing. Which I guess is a good thing as I won't want it again and can avoid the traffic and hassle of getting there.

Great food. Mild can be spicy (according to my friend) if you're not used to it. I had the level right above mild and that was the right level for my preference! Fried egg was an additional amount.When in doubt ask for clarification. If mild to you is ketchup, let the chefs know haha.Parking: Street parking may be paid or unpaid depending on when you visit.

I ordered from this place the service is excellen, the drunken noodles were acceptable but nothing special with big chunk pieces of tomatoes. The fried thai riced I do not recommend at all. I think I can choose a better option next time.

Service: order at cashier, food brought out to you in less than 5 minutes. Cashier just silently stared at us until we prompted her to speak.Food: 5 minutes means microwave, as also evidenced by mostly warm food with blistering hot center. Speciality chicken was minced up like ground hamburger. Food served on paper plates/ plastic sporks.Flavor: hot basil chicken tasted only of salt water. Curry chicken strongly tasted of canned tomato soup. Lowest quality flavors, which contradicts the essence of complex thai food flavors.Atmosphere: sticky wooden tables and clean up yourself, minimal staff seen. Locks on bathrooms.Recommendation: wasted $35 tonight.
