    The best Thai food in San Diego is a little hole-in-the-wall place off Baltimore in La Mesa. Fresh, delicious, made spicy to-order. Fast delivery with a smile.

    I'm not sure I'd want to eat in (pleasant but a bit sparse) but wow, the rest of the experience was fantastic. Pick-up order was ready early. Food was as good as I've had in San Diego. Really liked the way they presented fresh spring rolls!

    Food is amazing. Always delicious and hot. Pad Thai, fried basil chicken, tom kha, curry, fresh spring rolls,... All so good.

    i used to go here often and enjoyed their food until I tried ordering tonight and they couldn’t understand the word “Larb”…an item off of their menu. Strange. They seemed like new employees maybe…they asked if I speak Spanish after I said “Larb” like 20 times…I even described it as a salad to see if that would help and they said “oh salad, that’s appetizer” like what???? Then they blocked my number out of frustration i guess. Will not be ordering from here again. So incredibly Disappointed. Will find another Thai restaurant to order from despite this one being a min away from me.

    I always order take out and I always order their yellow curry with chicken. The flavor is so good and the spices they use give the curry a boldness in flavor. Im actually quite addicted!
