Cute little restaurant serving top notch drunken noodles and other Thai cuisines. Their drunken noodles were so full of flavors, they are way better than the versions from other outlets around here. The seafood was very fresh in the glass noodles (Yum Woon Sen). The Ka Prao stir fried vegetables were very good, too. The steamed rice that came with it was moist and flagrant. Yum!
Finally found a place that serves really good Thai food at a reasonable price. This is a true mom-and-pop restaurant with such a warm and welcoming vibe. The dishes taste authentic and homemade, like something lovingly cooked right from someone’s kitchen. You can actually taste the care and attention they put into every meal — fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and generous portions. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving authentic Thai food that feels like home, this spot is definitely worth a visit!
If you grew up eating Thai food or fancy yourself a foodie snob, avoid this travesty. I’m a long time eater, not a native, but not a snob. But wow, I wish I’d seen the recent review about the new management before ordering. The photos and reviews looked fantastic so the Tom Yum noodles baffled us - it looked nothing like what was pictured on their online menu or other patrons’ old google/yelp photos. It had literally zero vegetables in it - just four overcooked shrimp, sad noodles, and limp mung bean sprouts. It had an unidentifiable, sweet taste to it, not at all savory, hot or tangy like a traditional Tom Yum. The green curry didn’t contain any bright flavors of fresh lemongrass or lime leaf - it tasted like sweet, cheap coconut milk, lacked fish sauce, and was likely made with some budget brand pre-made curry paste (and definitely not even a good one). It actually DYED the color of the soft tofu AND the chicken an artificial, almost neon-looking green color, which I have never seen in my life. So unappetizing; wish I’d taken a photo. The food was prepared and delivered later than promised and by then we were so hungry that despite not being able to eat the awful food, we didn’t have time to order from anywhere else. Literally the only positive thing I can say is that the vegetables in the green curry seemed fresh. There were, however, giant chunks of bamboo that had that familiar, unpleasant, out-of-a-can musky flavor - not unlike mothballs. Who knows - maybe their fried rice or stir fry dishes would be good in a pinch, but we were totally let down by our experience and had to settle for air fried chicken tenders for dinner. Womp womp.
It’s our first time here and we loved it! I’m from Sydney, Australia where we’re accustomed to top quality Thai food. So I’m extra happy to taste their authentic Thai flavors! We had fish cakes (so fresh and yummy) as an appetizer and then (see photo for the 2 mains) Pad See Ew with crispy pork and Spicy Thai Basil. They are all so delicious! The restaurant also has such a clear positive feel and our waiter is warm, friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back soon!
IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE! The best Thai food in ocean beach/point loma/ sunset cliffs area. Having gone to Thailand I have set the bar really high for my Thai cuisine restaurant choices. This place definitely makes INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS Thailandese food. Vegan Thai Tea is perfect. Papaya salad is excelente & green curry is TOP NOTCH, Tim Kha is espectacular! I will certainly be trying many more dishes. This will be my official Thai restaurant recommendation for all friends & my personal go-to in town. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming. Props to the chefs & staff. 🙏🏽 ขอบคุณ🙏🏽
