My wife and I love thai food. So we walked in on Thursday lunch time. Place was pretty empty. Nicely greeted and sat down at a good sized table. The restaurant offered a ‘lunch menu’ or order off the full menu. I asked the server their favorite choice on the lunch menu. She suggested the Thai basil. It was amazing! Perfect lunch portion.

I’m visiting San Diego for the weekend and was looking for a peaceful place for a first dinner downtown. I was charmed by this restaurant. Quiet, very cozy, good food. Not only the decoration and atmosphere were lovely, but I also loved the waiters and waitresses, smiling , very polite, and charming. I recommend this place

The food here is excellent! I ordered chicken curry, and it had a wonderful flavor. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is very friendly. Food service was fairly quick as well. I will come back when I am in San Diego again.

Thai food is always a vegetarian’s pleasure because they always seem to have the sort they don’t necessarily have to put some meat in there but they do and usually tastes delicious. This Thai restaurant on the other hand upscale neighborhood I like the environment than the atmosphere as soon as you come in there very welcoming nice smiles just as Thai people. The restaurant was real interesting I didn’t get a chance to look at the restroom but the looks of it I think it was pretty good. The food could have been better I really enjoyed enjoy the fried rice. Although I didn’t take pictures of the fried rice because after that long walk finding this place is too hungry to take the picture. LoL.. I love it though

The food here was okay (I got veggie pad Thai). It didn’t have a lot of flavor and was kind of on the expensive end, I think $17. They do have the full Thai menu, but interestingly if you order alcohol you are actually purchasing it from the restaurant next door, they even have the drinks menu for that restaurant. The staff were pleasant, but not overly attentive, we had to ask multiple times to get water refills, although that might have been a tactic to get us out of the door as there was a line of people waiting for tables. Overall average.
