Not only good looking, but also high quality tasting. The ginger broth has just the right level of sour and sweet flavor. The teriyaki chicken was also very tender. The pumpkin in the chicken bowl is an absolute upgrade.
This is the only Thai restaurant I'll go.to.when in Little Italy. The food is amazing, service is outstanding. Now, I only order the yellow curry with chicken, 4 out of 10 on heat, and it's delicious. But this place always has customers.
First of all, I would like to say that the food portions are not small. They are quite normal for Americans. The service was great by the owner, I believe and she checked in on us to see how the food was and if we needed anything else. The food quality was really good for the Pad See Ew and Wonton Soup that we ordered. The broth of the soup was really delicious and had that umami element. The place was very clean with a clean aesthetic. Would definitely recommend.
I'm working in the airline industry. I had a layover in San Diego and found this Thai restaurant was not far from the hotel. I went to try and wasn't disappointed. The food was amazing and they made it so similar from what we have in Thailand. The service was second to none. I highly recommend
Ordered via DoorDash. It arrived fast and was still hot. It's been a while since I had Pad Thai, and it didn't disappoint. It was fresh and had a good flavor profile. The noodles were also cooked just right. It really hit the spot when I was craving Thai noodles. I'll definitely order here again.
Have your curries Thai spicy ! There is a brew pub nextdoor if the heat becomes overwhelming. Situated next to the Santa Fe Depot, this is also a good option for take-away food if you are commuting by train.
Was visiting a relative staying at a hotel nearby and this was the closest thai restaurant walking distance. It is located in an office building, but was easy to find with signs around. On the weekend we went it was mostly empty inside. We ordered a chicken satay as a starter. The amount of chicken on each stick was decent and was great as is or with the peanut sauce provided. I ordered the basil chicken with mild spice. I will mention that if sensitive to spice that even mild had quite the kick. I also tried some panang curry (mild) and enjoyed the flavor. Portions were large and we had leftovers for another time. There was only one lady handling the tables, but she checked on us frequently and we had a nice chat with her before we left. Overall thought this was a decent thai place in the area. For parking we used a garage near the hotel and walked a few blocks to the restaurant.
We are in town for a convention, and our hotel was nearby, so we decided to give them a try. I got the Pad See Ew, and my boyfriend got the Pad Thai with mild heat. Both were delicious! Would definitely come back again. Good prices for the amount of food we got!
