Reviews for Santee - Gor Gai Thai Kitchen in Santee, CA

By far one of the worst dining experiences I have had in San Diego. This is not Thai food. Don't order here if you value your... money, your stomach and your desire for great Thai food. Read more

Food is good but service and portion size have gone downhill. If it's hot out, don't bother trying to eat here. They have had a... "broken" sign taped over the ac control for over a year now. Honestly I don't know how it's safe for the cooks to work in suchheat. I won't be back, there are plenty of other options. Read more

Walked inside and it had to be at least 85 degrees inside. Food was less than mediocre. I asked for non spicy food so I could... give it to my kids. The food was spicy. The staff then argued with me before reluctantly allowing me to switch meals. Willdefinitely not be returning. Read more

I was excited to see a Thai kitchen in Santee. So I decided to stop by for lunch with my wife. Horrible mistake! Service was... extremely rude, I asked for stir fry chicken but instead received cabbage with chicken. More cabbage than chicken! 70/30 ratio.Extremely disappointed. Never going back Read more

I walked into the restaurant just before closing and placed a to-go order. I requested my Panang Curry with spice level 4 out... of 10. I had said 5 at first, but the guy at the counter said that for them, 5 is Jalapeno. So I lowered my number to a 4. WhenI got home and served up the curry, it was somewhere between Habanero and Ghost pepper. INEDIBLE. By the time I discoveredthis problem, the store had already closed. So, I called the next day and explained the situation. He finds my oreder andacknowledges that the order was for spicy level 4. So what? Basically, they don't care. "We can do anything for the spicybecause you ordered it that way." Thus ensued a 15 minute conversation wherein I request a replacement bowl of curry. "We can'tdo that because you ordered it." Huh? I can hear the obviously angry cook in the background, yelling in a foreignlanguage,. The kid acknowledged his comment and turned to me and tried again to tell me it was my fault. FINALLY, he agreed toreplace the curry "as a one-time favor". We agree that this replacement curry will have a spicy level of ZERO. So, I drive backto the restaurant to get my curry. Again, he tells me, "spicy level of zero." NOPE, it was hotter than the first one! Whatthe heck!?!?! Completely dishonest. Completely inedible food. Completely disgusting lack of customer service. I've longenjoyed Gor Gai as our go-to Thai food in Santee. Not anymore! They cannot be trusted, and they just don't care aboutcustomers. BTW, I poured the inedible curry down the sink. It will probably clean my pipes spic and span! Read more

I had the tom yum, but this is almost my tom yum. That memory of the 1st time siting in a little hole in the wall restaurant at... 3 am in bangkok, after a tooooo long night out with your buds... For a moment i was there. -Dont lie to yourself get thelarge. - If you don't have rice get the rice However! I always have rice at home so If rice was $1 i would get it If rice was$2 only if my rice was a day old But at $3. Im just going to make new rice. Also My friend got chicken fryed rice and creamcheese wontons. He said it was good. Read more

I ordered the green curry with fried tofu and received a container of coconut milk with a little green oil and chunks of... rubber-sponge tofu that squeak when chewing. Flavor was alright. The Pad Thai my partner got was better than my curry, butstill just mediocre. I gave it a shot, but will not be returning. Read more

Food is really good Had pad Thai, it was actually as spicy as I like. Noodles were perfectly cooked, stringy with a good bite to... them The restaurant looks like it?s had a hard time opening during the pandemic, but hey, food is good I?ll be going back again Read more
