Reviews for Chan Dara Thai Cuisine in Escondido, CA
The food was the best Thai I?ve had in years since moving out of NYC. Will definitely return next time I?m in the area. Spicy... noodles with duck was excellent, Tom Kha soup was very flavorful, and the price was extremely reasonable considering what Iordered. Read more
Just amazing!!! Will definitely be back. The flavor was spot on and spice levels were perfect (do not underestimate their... ability to understand spicy...). Wow! Best Thai food ever! Freshly made (well worth the wait) Read more
Delicious Thai food! Got a ton of food (attentive/quick service btw, Always a huge bonus) with my partner after a long travel... day and were shocked at the bill because of the low price. Go go go! Read more
Fantastic service and really yummy food. The Thai Dumplings were my favorite! The Spicy Sole Fish was great too. Went here after... a fun-filled day at the Safari Park. Read more
We tried the panang curry, Thai fried rice, veggie tempura and pad Thai noodles. Each dish was excellent! I felt their Curry... dish could have been a bigger portion. Other places will give you slightly more. Read more
I specifically came to this restaurant because it looked like a diner for Thai food and that was exactly what I got and I am... delighted. Although It's obvious they're not putting excessive money into ambience. I'm really okay with them focusing itdirectly into the food and keeping the prices low. Which it was. Also there was lots of parking out in front. I got Tom Kha,which was made in a very authentic style with little to no coconut milk and a lot of lemongrass and kafir lime leaves. My kidssplit the pad Thai which was perfectly classic and they ate it very well. My husband got Mussaman Curry which had an interestingalmost mushroom under flavor but had lots of hearty potatoes and carrots and he inhaled it. I had the Pad See Ew which they gavejust the right amount of kick for on my request. Everything was clean and the large individual booths helped muffle sound andmade it feel private. The bathroom was around the corner and almost shockingly big and well kept. No changing table forchildren. The staff was pretty swamped with online orders but I hear that's pretty common nowadays. One woman in front washolding down the entire restaurant and more power to her. I would totally come back again for the good price and solid food.Not the place to take a date to impress. But definitely a place to hit your Thai food craving without breaking the bank. Read more
We eat a lot of thai. So, the pad thai was a bit bland and clomped together. It was take out so we need to be a little more... understanding. The chicken was dry, next time I'd likely order it with veggies only. The Thai style ribs were amazing. Supertender, fall off the bone, nicely spiced. It came with a side of white rice with I promptly doused with the ribs sauce. YUM! Nosweet sticky rice because out of season she said (it's August) bummer. I'd eat that year round! Read more
Food was delicious, we had a tough cookie as our waitress. She wasn't really all smiles but knew what she was doing and was very... knowledgeable of the entire menu! Total shocker for me was a free refill on Thai iced tea! Thai iced tea is my favorite drinkand I had never seen any other place offer a free refill, I was stoked! Read more
