I haven’t been here in years. There are so many places that have gone down in quality after the pandemic. I was pleasantly surprised to find the food here has gotten better! I got the pad see ew and it was the best ever! My boyfriend really enjoyed his Drunken Noodles. The tapioca dessert they gave us at the end was really great as well. We’ll definitely be coming back.

The service was very decent. The lady helping was very nice but the man that was there was a bit not so nice. When he brought the soup of the day he literally dropped the soup on the table it spilled and he didn’t say a thing, just walked off. I had to us the only two napkins they gave me to clean it up. The soup of the day lacked in flavor as well as the vegetables melody. I get the vegetables dish at other Thai places and this place wasn’t that good. My husband really did enjoy his green curry. It said he loved the flavor.the beef jerky was the best I ever had. It was the best part of the meal.

Everything is great about this restaurant! Every dish I’ve had here has been delicious. Recommend the basil eggplant dish, spicy noodles, and Thai tea

Excellent, authentic Thai food and friendly service. Update: I have since left San Diego area but wanted to write a more enthusiastic and detailed review:This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the San Diego area – I have tried a lot, and I also lived in Thailand – so I do feel that I have the credentials to know what good Thai food is. I originally found this place by looking in San Diego eater (which I will add their Thai restaurant suggestions were very on point). My favorite is the crispy pork belly with Thai Broccoli (which isn’t on the menu of most Thai places or isn’t done well), but you can’t go wrong with most of their dishes. The staff is very nice (esp the weekend staff). I do not have any new photos to provide as I have been here so many times, but also recently left the San Diego area – but I will miss this restaurant and highly recommend it!

Ordered drunken noodle for take out and it’s good. Noodles are well fried and seasoned. So does the tofu. However the onion is a little bit too raw. Would be great to cook the onion a little longer. Other than that, I find the dish to be tasty.

This place is absolutely wonderful! The first thing that stuck out to me was just how kind the staff was; I got my order to go and the lady who was running the front of the restaurant offered me a nice comfortable place to sit in the meantime, offered me water, and just wanted to make sure that I was happy and comfortable while I was waiting. The service truly left an impression on me. The food itself was phenomenal, with ample shrimp and spices. This is one of my best experiences with Thai food, and the quality is incredible whether you dine in or out. Overall, I cannot recommend enough.

My dad and I tried Chaba Thai Kitchen for the first time today. The fresh spring rolls with tofu was delicious. The dipping sauce was a mildly spicy peanut sauce-different than the thick peanut sauce at most places. I would buy a bottle of it if I could! We shared the mixed seafood Pad Thai. It was among the best I’ve had. The portions are large. We shared and still needed a to-go container.

This is one of the best Thai restruants in Kearny Mesa. Everything in the menu is fantastic and I highly recommend trying the Beef Salad.

There is nuance in my rating that needs to be understood. I ordered Yellow Curry and chicken. All the ingredients were 4-5 stars and the curry was rather good, perhaps a 4 but together, for me they were a 3. How? The potatoes and carrots all tasted and felt fresh but they did not taste like they were cooked in the curry. From my meal my opinion is that the chicken and veggies were all cooked separate so that they could put together easily a different type of curry having a set of pre-made ingredients. Whether this is true or not, I don’t know but for me while all the ingredients were of good quality none of them tasted like it was cooked in the curry to absorb some of the flavor.
