First time and will definitely come back! We were happily greeted upon arrival, fast service, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend. The rice came out in a heart shape and it was so cute! Thank you 🫶
We like this place since they were Oishii in Santee. My favorite sushi roll is Thai Dai, and I could eat three rolls of it. The sashimi bowl is great too. Mike is the pro at making sushi, but this time I found out he was in Thailand, so Donna was in charge. I think she did an excellent job, as did the gentleman who was working with her. I appreciate the service and how nice they are. We will miss Mike as we are moving out of State to Florida In a couple of days. We will miss a good sushi. Thank you Mike and family for having us in your restaurant and making the best sushi in San Diego. Gaby and Landon
There's a Thai restaurant around every corner, so let's give this place a try! The restaurant is located in a corner in a small lot with minimal parking. There are about 10 tables inside with a sushi bar. Kind of odd for a Thai place to sell sushi but I guess it works. Our server seated us as soon as we walked in and then took our order with a smile and recommended the Yen Ta Fo. We ordered a chicken pad Thai because I use this as the bar for every Thai restaurant. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and everything tasted great! The pork belly was crispy, salty, and porky. The pad Thai was salty, sweet, sour. The Yen Ta Fo was very interesting. I have never had anything like it before. My wife described it as vinegary, salty, and savory. Pretty good, but not what I was expecting. I guess if you like tom yum, it's close to it in flavor. Overall this is a solid Thai place if you live in the area!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) I had visited the previous restaurant at this location and didn’t enjoy it much, so I came to Thai Thae with an open mind—and I’m glad I did! I ordered the pork stir-fried with garlic and my go-to at any Thai restaurant: chicken Pad Thai. The flavors were authentic, well-balanced, and satisfying—especially the Pad Thai, which hit all the right notes. I’d give the food a solid 4.5/5. The ambience is a huge improvement from the old place. The space feels cleaner, brighter, and much more inviting, which makes dining here a pleasant experience. Definitely 5/5 for ambience. The only downside was the slow service, which brought my overall experience down a bit. Hopefully, it’s just a one-off and things will improve with time. For now, I’d give service 3.5/5, but I’m looking forward to coming back and updating this review! Always happy to support local gems. #SmallBusinessSupporter #AsianFoodIsNo1
