Chloe Fox
Seriously, wow!!! This place is a shining gem of La Mesa. I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of service, given the very much hole-in-the-wall nature, but everything was sincerely top notch. Service was absolutely stellar, much better than many, much larger restaurants I’ve eaten at in SD lately. The food was phenomenal, and the presentation was beautiful as well. We ordered the yellow curry fried rice as well as the avocado chicken green curry, which both came out gorgeously plated. I was too excited to start eating, I forgot to take pictures! The prices are great as well. Very generous portions. Excited to try the sticky mango rice next time! I can’t wait to dine in again—as well as pick up some takeout in the future Thank you very much for an incredibly warm and friendly experience, from one service industry professional to another!

We had a really delicious dinner with a bottle of Dr. Loosen’s riesling (with frosted glasses and an ice bucket)! We had crab angel appetizers, tom khar soup with duck, avocado chicken green curry, and spicy eggplant with duck. It was all superb! Thank you for the food and kind service!!

This place has to be one of the best Thai restaurants around the area! Their food is delicious, their staff is very nice and attentive, and the prices are as you would expect. Their menu also has a ton of items to choose from. I’ve been here twice so far and will definitely be returning in the near future.

Really delicious Thai food, and I am a tough critic, and really phenomenal prices, which is hard to find! These are pictures of the hot spicy basil entrée. I would also like to add that this is one of the only Thai places that actually listened to the level of spice that I requested.

There was a parking lot so don’t worry about parking! We spent about 60$ for the two of us but you can get really full with 10-20$ per person!

It was our first time eating here, the ambiance was cozy, it was just a small restaurant. The food was great. We had fried calamari, chicken pad thai, sticky mango rice and thai iced tea. My husband liked the calamari, and we ended up ordering 2 of it. The server was very nice and considerate.
