Clean, lots of parking behind the building. Kind, patient servers and the prices were reasonable. The noodles in my Pad See Ew... were PERFECT. Fresh and slightly chewy, just how I like it. Lots of vegetables in my dish, too. The heat level is intense; 3 wastoo spicy, beware. The Thai Iced coffee was one of the best I've had. I will def be back to try More dishes here. (The noodletexture was Really, good! I had to say that again.) Read more
3 years ago, my husband and I was here trying thai boat noodle and it was the best! Until today, haven't found any other place... to top this place! Cannot wait to visit San Diego again to eat the best thai boat noodle ???? ???????????? Read more
Everything was fantastic! They?re under new ownership and they?ve done a great job beautifying the place. Authentic, delicious,... affordable and one of the best Lao restaurants I've been to. I'm not saying I'm an expert, but I did grow up eating the food.Our party of two had the Lao Cuisine Platter, Nem Khao, Larb Salad (chicken), Lard Nar Noodles and sticky rice. More than enoughfood for two. The platter is a must order item; with amazing fried chicken, lao sausage and jerky. It also comes with some housesauce and veggies. Larb had just the right amount of lime and spices. Probably the top 3 nem Khao I've ever had. It Tastedfresh, not too much lime and lots of fermented meat. Lard Nar Noodles were just okay. Server was friendly and the food came outquickly. Parking should be okay, as it's a decent sized lot. This was dinner time though, so I'm not sure what it's like duringthe day. Read more
My husband loves Thai food and glad that this restaurant was open during Father?s Day. We have not been here since the... pandemic. We have always enjoyed our food and the food is still delicious. The menu had a variety of dishes and price isreasonable. This is one of the very few restaurants that serve mussaman curry which is my husband?s favorite. It is a casualrestaurant. The staff were friendly and was fine having our son?s service animal. One of the staff even brought a bowl ofwater for our dog without us asking. This is very thoughtful! Read more
excellent service, ingredients are fresh. the flavors of the Thai dishes aren't quite traditional, but they are still very... southeast Asian. example: the Tom yum was sweeter and had a stronger tomato flavor than normal. still would recommend, justdon't expect the most authentic dishes possible.

One of my favorite Asian cuisines of all time is Thai food. And I can personally say this is indeed one of my favorite spots in... San Diego. I?m originally not from here. My favorite Thai dishes has always been Drunken Noodles and Red Curry. I had them bothwith chicken and spice level of a 4. If you can?t handle spice I wouldn?t recommend a 4 or 5, maybe a 1 or 2. If I lived here,this will always be my go to Thai place. Must try if you haven?t. ???? Plus the service was extremely phenomenal. Very friendlyand welcoming. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Will definitely come back. Read more
