“My husband and I ordered the sampler and drunken noodles to share. The food surpassed my expectations. Most surprisingly was the Tempura shrimp, I'm typically not a fan of seafood. However their shrimp was cooked to melt in your mouth perfection.We picked up in Santee and drove 15 minutes home, everything was still piping hot. Perhaps best of all, the servings were big enough for lunch tomorrow ?“
“First time at Thai Thai, March 2024 for lunch. The decor was quaint and pretty. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. Went for lunch and started with the sampler appetizers- they were hot, fresh and delish- forgot to take a picture until we had eaten some. I ordered the Pan Woon Sen with shrimp with a 1 level spice - I'm not experienced with Thai spice levels- next time I'll try a 2 or 3. The Pad Woon Sen was tasty and a generous portion with plenty of shrimp. We also ordered sushi which was fresh with crispy veggies and fresh seafood. I would dine here again. Food was flavorful and fresh, service and atmosphere were great.“
“I have loved this place for many years! I didn’t realize before arriving that the name had changed, but I was relieved to see signage stating the ownership and chefs remained the same. Delicious as always! They did change up the decor, so it’s more “modern” now (I loved the classic decor before) but nothing to complain about.“
“The food here is so good! It was my first time going, and won't be my last. The food portions are giant but SO worth it. I had already eaten part of my fried rice and all of the Vegetables fried spring rolls before I took the picture haha! The people here are SO friendly. Seems like a family ran restaurant. They were so all sweet and so friendly! It is connected to their donut shop this looks absolutely amazing as well! They had music playing and the restaurant was so clean. It was a great choice. 1,000x recommend.“
“It is an inviting place, as soon as you walk in the flower hanging over the ceiling. It looks like you are inside of a garden. Waitress was very friendly and she was often checking on us to see if we needed anything. The food was excellent and the portion was good to share with 2 if you want to try different things on the menu. Crab fried rice was a very big portion. Enough for more than 2 people to share.“
“Great service, not the best looking location, but some pretty darn good food! I’m petty picky about my pad Thai and they made it just right. Location isn’t the best looking but that’s not what we fatties are here for right!!!? Highly recommend :)“
“This was my first experience having Thai food, and I was not disappointed. I was greeted at entry and seated immediately. The staff was kind and friendly, and happy to answer any questions. The food was amazing and I will be back for more. They offer vegetarian, vegan, and healthy options; everything is served in large portions and at affordable prices.“
“Food is always on point and authentic. You can just smell it when you walk in that it’s the real deal. Absolutely love the taro milk tea here! The peanut sauce is the best - they add enough spice and flavor to it. They put effort in seasonal decorations, keeping the place neat, and just the overall atmosphere is nice. One of our favorite Thai places for sure.“
“Wow! Don't hesitate- Best Thai food ever. I ordered tickets go and the customer service was so sweet and nice eventhough it was a busy Friday night. Pesca vegan diner - I ordered with a plan for the leftovers. Vegan pineapple rice, salad with peanutdressing, green curry with shrimp added and panamg curry. This is the most savory food I think I've had, ever. Thank you!!“
“This was a great Thai place. It’s too bad they closed the plaza. The restaurant moved and merged with what I think is their other restaurant - Corner Thai Kitchen just up the street on Friar’s, but I haven’t tried the new location yet. I hope it’s the same because this place was a winner!“
“Best vegan Thai food in El Cajon! I definitely recommend coming to dine in I love the decor and felt a light energy. Service was prompt and courteous and the option of the all vegan menu and delicious Thai tea has now ensured I will keep coming back. Thank you thank you thank you ??Vegetarian options: New optional all vegan options !Dietary restrictions: Vegan availableParking: Parking is in the back and there are plenty of spaces.“
“Wow, a restaurant that can make a take out order look delicious and appealing is worth the rating! Our food was on time, prepared with thoughtfulness and delicious! No complaints at all! I look forward to sitting down and having a meal at such a great place ?“
“Absolutely one of my and my wife's favorite places to eat. This specific restaurant, this specific address, these specific employees create a wonderful dining experience.I am always delighted by the speed at which the food arrives at my table, and my wife is always astounded at the speed at which the food then enters my mouth.The food never disappoints. This must be the greatest Thai restaurant in the U.S.Jolly good show.“
“Delicious food made with love and care! I love this family owned Thai place. The restaurant is a little cozy so it may be better for take out. The portions were good and the taste was phenomenal! I'll definitely be back. Thank you for your service!“
“Seemed like most of their orders are take outs so the restaurants always seem a bit empty. I Love their Thai green tea, cheese wontons, chicken satay, and soup. Some of the main courses were a bit too sweet to my taste. Staff were friendly. Will come back to try more items on the menu.“
“Although I'm not a huge fan of Thai food, I must admit that this place is really good. I haven't been to Thailand, so I can't vouch for its authenticity, but the curries are a fantastic choice. Their Tom Kha soup stands out with a unique taste not found in other versions from different restaurants. It's definitely a great spot for takeout, considering the relatively small dining room.“
“I ordered the red curry and Tom kha soup because it's my favorite when I'm not feeling well. The dishes did not disappoint! They arrived fast and the price was tasty, too. Spicy level 1 is all you need, unless you are part dragon.“
“I went in yesterday, never been before. The ladies who helped me order were amazing, specially one. Thank you! I wish I would have asked your name. The food she suggested I order was amazing and just the right flavor. My family really enjoyed it. I will be back.“
“We’ve ordered delivery once, and pick up once. Both are always a bit of a gamble in quality and both times they exceeded expectations. The pricing is great especially for the quality! And the mango sticky rice, is probably the best dessert I’ve ever had. “
“So delicious! The soup that comes with the lunch special knocked my socks off. The prices are great. Outstanding noodles. Friendly, efficient service. Feels like eating at a little hole in the wall on a Thai island, except with real chairs (iykyk). I'll be back.“
“So far everything I've tried has been delicious!! My favorites are the Drunken noodles and the cream cheese wonton. The flavors are perfect. And the wontons are so good Especially the way she rolls them you get the perfect bite of crispy wonton and cream cheese mix inside with every bite *Chefs kiss* wishing them the best of luck!!“
“Very happy for this cozy space. Nice and pleasant place to eat, the food was delicious and the dessert as well, the waiters are very friendly and you feel super special with their attention, the music is at a good volume and the atmosphere was very relaxing. My bill came out to $54 for two people, clean bathrooms and a super clean place. Wheelchair access. Free parkingVegetarian options: Most dishes can be vegetarian. Since you decide if you want meat or prefer tofuParking: Parking is free in front of the propertyWheelchair accessibility: The floor is wide and there are no stairs at the entrance so it is easy to access.“
“This place is a hidden gem. It’s in a strip mall away from the street so you cannot really see it as you drive. The place is not crowded and the food is good. The price is reasonable and the quantity great. This place has a nice ambience. There was only one server but she was very efficient, extremely courteous and helpful. We were large party and she was not overwhelmed inspite of being the only one to serve.“
“I have been going to this establishment since they first opened. I love having the food here and usually get the pork blood porridge, hot tea and an iced coffee. Have tried just about the whole menu though and you really cant miss with any “
“I love Iron Pan Thai and have been going here for over 2 years now. Their lunch specials are perfect for a quick lunch and their dinners are enough for 2 people to share. We order a lot of take-out because they are so quick and have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options when friends/family visit.They also offer catering which I did for a party of 60 people. They gave so much food and we got a lot of compliments about the food being delicious and fresh. I would totally cater with them again!“
“Pictured: Satay Chicken, Panang Curry (with chicken), and Crispy Calamari.Service was great, only one person working for dinner doing to go’s and dine ins. Didn’t get her name but she was very friendly!Ambience was very cozy.Panang Curry was amazing!! I was asked for a spiciness level between 1-10 and I chose 6. It was spicier than I thought it would be but still great flavor. Crispy Calamari was good. Also comes with fried veggies. Satay Chicken was also good.Will be coming back!“
“Shared a great takeout meal from Takhrai Thai. We really enjoyed the cashew chicken. The cream cheese wontons were great and we really enjoyed the small amount of spice in the plum sauce for dipping. Pad thai shrimp was pretty good as was the yellow currie and drunken noodles. We got medium spice level on everything and thought it was a true medium spicy. The Thai tea was great as well.“
“Thai place that is authentic. I lived in Thailand many times and this place is very authentic and is probably my favorite thai place in San Diego. Order it spicy! They can show you their spice. Really good, come try it out. Highly recommend the northern “
“Great service, great food. Very clean. Large portions.We came for lunch after the hike at the Cowles; wasn’t too busy but atmosphere was very welcoming. Most of the tables were taken, food came out pretty fast, fresh and hot. We were very pleasantly surprised. I always come to dry cleaners next door and never noticed this place. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it.“
“Best Thai food in North County! It's one of the best Pad Thai's I've ever had! My girlfriend loves ALL the currys. The service, no matter who's working, is always spot on. Always friendly and efficient. Kudos Urban! We love you!“
“Great late night Thai food. My wife and I ordered the chicken drunken noodles, chicken red curry, mango sticky rice and Thai tea. Everything was tasty and served in good portions. I recommend this place, especially for a late night meal (they closed at midnight when we went on a Tuesday). Server (Tha I believe) was really nice and friendly.“
“Chris VPosting publicly across GoogleFoodServiceAtmospherethai taste, thirty-plus yearsof the best thai food i havefound in san diego county!Moved back to San Diego and before I even started to unpack boxes, made the drive from Ocean Beach out to Thai Taste.In 22 months living out of California, I was in San Diego 18 times...and each time, I went to Thai Taste. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall and I have had several friends I gave the address to say it took them several tries to find.I have had an ongoing challenge with the kitchen each time I come in...and it is to make Som Tom as spicy as they know how. Once again, Thai Taste has succeeded in eclipsing the previous version. The folks there have given me the service I have become accustomed to, quick and cheerful,To shake things up a bit, I tried their Chicken Gra Prow and Panang Curry, both at 7 spicy. Their regular scale is 1-5, and staff shared that anyone ordering 6 or 7 are aware that the spiciness of these dishes will be off the radar. Of course, I ordered the Som Tom, which I order at 10, and have yet to be disappointed.After spending significant time in both northern and southern Thailand, as I see it, this is the most authentic representation of Thai cuisine I have found in the US. The ingredients are always fresh, the preparation and presentation authentic and the prices are certainly good.The one possible challenge I have for Thai Taste is to update the dining room. Everything is clean, it just looks old.Keep it up, Thai Taste!Parking: Free and abundant.“
“Seriously some of the most delicious Thai food I've ever had. I ordered the yellow curry, red curry, and the pad see-ew. All medium spice. The food is fresh and the flavor is on point. Just the right amount of richness and spice, and everything seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend!“
“This place is a gem! I try to come every time I can. The place is very chill and clean. They usually have music playing, but comfortable enough to have a conversation over lunch/dinner. I have tried their yellow curry, pad thai, egg rolls, and garlic edamame. Everything is delicious, homey and made at request, which is one of the things I love about this place! The serving sizes are real good too and the staff is friendly and attentive.The neighborhood is a commercial and residential area, so there is foot and vehicle traffic all the time, is also well lit and there's also other businesses around.“
“I went here yesterday during lunch time. The lunch special comes with an appetizer and main course. I appreciated the portion sizes for lunch. Too much food slapped on a plate can be a turn off for me, so I was happy to see the perfect portions for lunch ?The red curry was yummy with fresh green beans, rice and white chicken breast. The only reason I didn’t give five stars was because the vegetarian spring rolls were mushy inside and bland, although they were fried well.The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be returning to grab some lunch.“
“First off, I just want to say that the staff was very nice and that alone made me more hopeful for the food. I ordered the chow mein, orange chicken, and the drunken noodles, and wow all of them were delicious. The chow mein was absolutely packed with flavor and if it's too much for you, you can mix it with rice and the flavors will spread all throughout the rice. The drunken noodles were perfectly cooked and once again the flavors were on point making you want more. Finally, the orange chicken was my favorite. The sauce was perfect and the vegetables were coated in the orange sauce making me finish my vegetables (crazy for me). Overall, I definitely need to come back to try the other dishes on the menu and it seems to be sooner than later. If you're looking for some good reasonably priced thai food this will become your go to spot in lemon grove.Parking: Lots of parking nearby so nothing to worry about.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility throughout that mini plaza.“
“Tried this location for the first time. Enjoyed the food and the prices were more than reasonable for the portions. We did a combination of lunches and dinner plates as a to go order and everything was fresh and tasty. Our lunches with chicken was approx 12 each and included rice and a small soup. Soup was delicious!I also ordered their Beef Salad which thankfully they put the dressing on the side so the greens stayed crisp. (I’ve been to many Thai restaurants and they often put it on which makes the greens soggy by the time you get home and no good for leftovers). The flavors were right on.Will definitely return!“
