Saw this had a ton of great reviews and heard about this place in the past so we chose to order it on Doordash. We ordered a ton of food: Pad Thai (Rice Noodles, Bean Sprouts, Scallions, Red Onions, Peanuts), Pad See Ew (Broad Rice Noodles, Chinese Broccoli, American Broccoli with Soy Sauce), Yellow Curry (Potatoes, Onions, Bell Peppers, Carrots with Coconut Milk), Roasted Duck Curry (Roasted Duck, Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers, Pineapples, Basil Leaves, Red Curry Paste in Coconut Milk) and Black Rice Pudding (Black Jasmine Rice Drizzled with Coconut Milk) for dinner. EVERYTHING WAS REALLY GOOD! You cannot go wrong at this place. I do have to say the Pad Thai was a bit sugary but it was for the better.
This is a dinner that we bought for to go “pad thai”and I can’t even eat because it’s full of chili seeds. So disappointed l will never recommend this type of food, who do you think wants a dinner of a thousand seeds mixed with noodles which is not written on the menu. And the firecracker chicken we got has also a very long hair, so nasty.🙁
I really enjoyed the lunch I had here in late October of 2025. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly. The food felt fresh and packed a lot of flavor. Overall, I have zero complaints and would come back in the future.
I have tried so many different Thai restaurants since I moved to San Diego in 2011. I have yet to find my go to, blow away place until today. Let me just say, wow! I am very picky when it comes to leaving 5 star reviews, but, Bahn Thai truly deserves it! A foodie enthusiast, coworker, like myself, recommended this amazing place- and boy, it did not disappoint. This will absolutely be my go to from here on out not only for me,but my teenage son as well. I ordered curry, fried rice and spring roles- so looking forward to exploring more of the menu!
Neat little cafe that sells amazing Thai food!! Drunken noodles were delicious with well cooked and tender duck, and had a good amount of kick at medium spice level. Pad Thai with beef was great as well, providing that unique combination of sweet and sour so characteristic of this Thai dish. It might not be the best Thai restaurant I have been to, but so far the best I found in San Diego. Definitely recommend!!
