Great service and the food was served quickly and hot. I had the drunken noodles. They were decent, but lacked some flavor. It would've been nice to have an option to have a side salad or a summer roll, maybe even a spring roll.

Food was ~20$ Chicken Sad Thai, soggy, super sugary, just like those terribad costco teriyaki chicken rice bowls but much more expensive.Food 1 (P)Bad Thai, NoService 3 is Fine, order at counter.Atmosphere 3 is a bleak airport food court, with all bad food options hence everything in the airport being rated 3.5 stars or lower (except Jack in the Box doing better than most at 3.8☆).Oh and the 2% surcharge for anything you order. If you can, plan ahead & bring togo or packed food from outside the airport and empty bottles to fill with water after security.February 4, 2024

Came in with no expectations as the rating for this place is so low. But the food was surprisingly good - recommend pad see ew. Small portion and it is expensive for what it is. In general, it is pretty good considering it is airport food. :)

Daylight Robbery ..At 2% surcharges added to a coconut water . Why ? Is the most absurd answer I got.. so that restaurant can do staff recruitment and retention ??…..Everything is 3 to 4 times the normal price and to add on. There is a tax. . And they come up with sneaky charges and extra fees…. I seriously doubt any good intention other than corporate billionaires flying jets and making poor weary travelers like even poorer ….About the food there is sugar and pathetic. Ordered a chicken pad Thai noodle,GOSH there was so much sugar in it. simply couldn’t eat it because of the sugar. WHY would you put sugar in pad thai. Wasted 17$.Vegetarian options: Veg pad ThaiParking: Terminal 2 in sandiegoKid-friendliness: Yes

If I could do zero stars I would. This place has to close up, fire their chef, and burn their recipes. This is not Thai food. It’s barely edible. This is low even for airport food. This used to be actually be a decent place to eat but something happened and now they serve trash. Saffron do better! Stop it!?

Fresh wraps is not packed with noodles, vegetables. It looks like a kid did it. The pad Thai noodles is dry and is nasty. I will not recommend this place. I should have just had a sandwich.

Have been grabbing to-go food from here ever since it opened in SAN and have dined at their Mission Hills location for years. Most recently have noticed the airport location's quality declining with less flavor and more oil in their servings.On top of it they are now making an issue of asking for Sriracha sauce and saying they will provide for $.82 and are adding in 2 containers of peanut sauce in their containers which for a noodle dish (pad see ew) doesn't make sense and is not the sauce to use.When i said "really?" to the server to the $.82 charge, she said "I just work here", which I understand but this is highly disappointing from a quality restaurant which appears to be either under new ownership or basically gouging their customers while serving less quality food.

Pretty good pad Thai and extra points for a quiet place to sit. Airport priced but no surprise there. Surcharge on top of airport price is really sneaky and undisclosed until you get the receipt.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options clearly marked

Do not waste your hard earned money on this so called Thai restaurant. The fried rice with chicken was hardly fried. A few carrots and peas thrown in with no flavor whatsoever.

Worst Thai food I've ever had. We were so hungry when we landed and decided to pick up chicken red curry and pad thai to go. We could not eat the food even when hungry so we had to throw away our expensive food. No Thai flavour AT ALL. Such a waste of money and energy !!!

My go to when I am at the SAN airport. They are efficient, kind, and have options for folks who are GF, DF, or vegan/vegetarian. I also noticed they have lots of drink options which was nice. Would be down to try it next time I come through. It's clean and I really like their decorations. There's also a piano in the middle of the dining area. Would be lovely when the pianist comes! It's also centrally located in terminal two (you may have to walk a bit if you're at gate 27-30, but it's definitely doable). I usually take my food to go before I head back on my cross country flight, which makes for a perfect meal mid-flight. They are usually a lunch/dinner restaurant, but it's worth it. My go to is the pad see ew with tofu. The pad Thai is a little too sweet for me personally, but I know folks may like it on the sweet side. Overall, reasonably priced for airport food with great alternatives with folks with preferences and dietary restrictions.
