50 Best Thai Restaurants in San Diego

“Very delicious food, and good service.

Food: We had the duck curry noodles and charred pork fried rice. The duck curry was by far the best as it had much more interesting flavors. The second dish was okay, though flavor profile wise it wasn’t as exciting—if I’d recommend one over the other I’d say go for the duck! But both are good. We also had fried wings as appetizers, that was also amazing and the sauce was great.

Service: A bit slow. They were really accommodating about us changing our reservation time to move it up earlier in the night. This we appreciated. But it looked like there was only 1 server and two bussers(?) servicing the whole place. Even though it was a weeknight, it still felt understaffed. Even though the service provided by our server was amazing when we had him, unfortunately he was busy half the time. And food took 30-40 minutes to come out, so I suspect the kitchen had the same issue. If this is a common occurrence then I believe the business owner should have more people on staff if they want to improve the service. I don’t blame our waiter, moreso whoever’s managing the schedules.“

“Had an amazing meal at a Thai restaurant with TK as our server. TK's service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The tiger shrimp was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!“

“ALWAYS ALWAYS FOREVER GOOD!“

“Same menu as Soi 30th in North Park (which is amazing). The crispy pork belly is out of this world (and good in everything) and the Tom Kha is one of my favorite things to order.

I'm not a big cream cheese wonton person, but I can admit these are amazing. So much filling that they're bursting at the seams. Perfect for a quick munch before going out

The waitress was super friendly and nice. If I'm ever in the area, I'll def be going back“

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is beautiful and the place is super clean.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“Ok for real, I am a Thai snob. Out of 10 places I try I may get 1 I think is decent. Holy crap best drunken noodles I’ve ever had. I will be dreaming of that dish until I come back! For reals get the drunken noodles and you’ll be hooked! Service was great and friendly too!?“

“I couldn't leave the 5 star review fast enough. Must go thai place for this area. From my very first bite I knew the food was gonna be delicious and it was. Everything was tasty and perfect. I already want to go back and actually eat-in at the restaurant since it gave very calm and cozy energy. Reasonably priced. Five stars“

“Oishii is such a hidden gem! Very clean, and the insanely friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. The highlight for me was the pork noodle soup—seriously, it’s the closest thing I’ve found to authentic street noodle soup from Thailand. Such a rare find! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!

Also 50% off apps and some rolls, beer and Thai tea for happy hour. Can’t beat it. Everyday from 2-5pm.“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“Such a nice restaurant to visit. This is our 1st and it won't be our last because we really enjoyed the service and the intentiveness of our waiter which also spoke thai with my wife. The food was amazing that's why we will be coming back.“

“Here we are again having another fabulous meal prepared for us. But's this time There was a party of maybe 6 women and they prefer to have the other entrance open so my wife froze her butt off for the whole meal it seems like it was below 0 degrees but all in all we still had a great meal. Maybe I should have said something to our waitress but I didn't want to upset the girls.“

“Great food specially their pad thai. Servers are nice and very welcoming. Will definitely come back over and over again. I’ve found one of the BEST Thai Restaurant in San Diego“

“Delicious and healthy food. Friendly staff.“

“We love Chaba thai and we order from them regularly. Eating in is the best option though because the staff is super sweet and they gave us free tapioca dessert every time. My favorite is Khao soi and Panang curry. Although all of their dishes are awesome and authentic. Just be careful with the spice level as they use potent thai chillis haha“

“Truly wonderful Thai food, would eat here often if we were local!“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“

“It's a good restaurant in San Diego to have Thai food!“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“If you're looking for the best Thai dining experience in town, look no further than Thai Time North Park ! The moment you step in, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere and trendy decor. The service is impeccable; the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Our servers went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food is nothing short of spectacular. We started with the fresh spring rolls, which were bursting with flavor. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness and spice, the Larb was rich and aromatic and the signature chef Poke one of a kind. What really sets Thai Time apart are the little extras. We were treated to a complimentary Cucumber Gimlet drink. In short, Thai Time offers the perfect combination of delectable food, outstanding service, and a charming ambiance. It's a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic Thai dining experience. We would easily give Thai Time a 5-star rating for its exceptional dining experience. Do yourself a favor and visit – you won’t be disappointed!"“

“Loved the food here!! It is a small but clean and cute restaurant the food is so good! I called in my order with no problem. The service is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. We tried the larb salad, red and green curry, pad see ew noodle, curry puffs and we were not disappointed! The Curry puffs are a must try!!! I've never seen them at any other Thai place before, my all time favorite!!! I love quaint places like this! We will definitely be returning! It's in a small shopping center so lots of parking is available. Lots of options on the menu and not overpriced. I look forward to trying the pineapple fried rice next time.“

“Good noodles and decent amount of food for a relatively cheap price with quick service - I’ll definitely go back. I got spicy noodle and my partner got Bangkok spices noodle - honestly almost identical with slightly different taste in the sauce, but both were yummy. They ask what spice level 1-10 you want and I got a 6, but it wasn’t very spicy. They had extra chili oil, sriracha, etc. for the table if you ask though“

“The food is great! Used to be very busy for lunch, but it was less than half full the day I was there.

Parking: It could be difficult to find parking close to the restaurant, but can find parking if you are ready to walk a few meters.“

“Good food and good service“

“Zab Linda exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. The quality of service was top-notch, and I truly felt valued and appreciated. It’s rare to find such dedication and passion, and it really shows in everything they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zab Linda to anyone looking for excellence. Can’t wait to come back again!“

“We have been to Thai Social now twice, and the food is delishious, the first time we had beef drunken noodles and mixed yellow curry and shrimp wrapped in wrapper these were simple and nice size shrimp very tender and succulent with a chili dipping sauce, this is a very nice appitizer all where very good, the second time we had the pad Thai chicken and it to was very good, we also had the won ton soup, the soup was delishious except the won ton wrapper was a little pasty I think they made the wrapper with flour? Instead of corn starch, this won ton soup is delishious full of Won ton's and vegtables, peppers we got 6-7 and it was nice and spicy its a meal in its self! The wrapper of the won ton is just weird, staff are very nice, and attentive the resturant it self is very clean, very nicely decorated and cozy, not a loud resturant, it's warm and cozy, I am very happy we can walk to this Thai restaurant. We will be back“

“Excellent food for the fare price.

Its a cozy ambient restaurant and we were served medium size dinners.

Thai was very good and very fresh, properly seasoned and just right to the taste. They also take spicy and non spicy requests which was perfect for us.

Highly recommend you visit this mom n pap, woth a partner for dinner, or even with the family as portion sizes for 1 dish feed the whole family!

Over all excellent thai food when you appetite calls for.
Aloha!“

“Excellent Thai Cusine. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.“

“The food is always very fresh and delicious. They are very mindful about how spicy you would like. I don’t tolerate a lot of spice and they make sure they accommodate. And the customer service is exceptional.“

“The service was great.
I made a wrong order, didn't much like the noodles (I don't usually like noodles). I'll choose something else next time.
The gyoza was good.

Clean place.
Outdoor seating.
Fair prices.“

“Great place to take your family out for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was on point. We had a great time at this establishment. We will definitely frequent this restaurant when we are in town.“

“This place is low key amazing Thai food. Who knew a little spot in a business park could produce some of the best Thai food in town! The staff is great and working hard to handle all the customers (read dumb)that don't understand how to order food or wait in line.“

“delicious food and friendly service! I love the soup!“

“This joint is the real deal! Authentic and delicious Thai food made fresh to order. You can tell because it comes piping hot. Family run spot. The lady at the counter is sweet. I may have had the best drunken noodle (pad kee mao) here. It was soo good and satisfying. Food is very reasonably priced as well.“

“This new restaurant has great food! It’s a nice addition to our PB restaurant lineup! The interior plant wall is hydroponic. Excess water feeds the outdoor Koi pond, the fish clean the water, then it recirculates back to the plants. We will return😎“

“A true Biden gem in the heart of Pacific Beach. The moment you walk you are nicely greeted with a warm welcome. I have to be seated your drink orders right away and the menu is provided. After several minutes, I ordered the main dishes.

For starters, I had the house salad with peanut dressing. For the main dish I had the medium red curry. The food was real authentic. The food portions were generous. Everything that I tried, and truly home cooking flavoring made from the heart.

You could not ask for a nicer staff from the minute you arrive the minute you leave.

You have a private parking lot and also street parking.

Parking: Private lot and street parking also available“

“BEST CURRY IVE EVER HAD!!!!! Great prices and portions and service. I am super impressed. I am actually writing this while I’m shoveling green curry in my mouth on my couch. You guys earned my business!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Soooo yummy 😋 thank you for the delicious fresh thai food 😋❤️❤️ i went walking around the liberty market and decided to buy thai and some pasta from another restaurant ❤️😎
They are both deeeelicious 😋❤️ . It was very busy but if you kept moving and looking at the same time it wasn't that bad . The staff at this restaurant were so nice and helpful and moving so fast to get everyone's order out 😎👍

Vegetarian options: They have veggies or tofu for the opinions

Parking: Big parking lot around the whole campus , and its free😎

Kid-friendliness: Definitely 😁 because kids love soup and noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but it gets busy in the market , so it might be uncomfortable“

“The service is friendly. Really nice atmosphere. Try their Mai Tai and yellow curry with tofu.“

“The food is great! But the girl at the counter needs lessons in customer service and also an attitude adjustment. This is the only reason that deters me from going there more often.“
