Good food. Everyone liked what they got. It was our first time there and no complaints from us. I would add, Google maps sends you to the gated community, so you have to watch out for a driveway before you get to the gate. It kind of comes up on you.
I had to almost stop myself from licking the bowl! It was some of the best green curry I've ever had. They do not serve alcohol, but you can bring your own bottle of wine. Some lovely people who had brought a bottle and could not finish it gave the rest to us. It was a delightful meal.
My boyfriend and I were in San Diego for the day and craved Thai food. We found this restaurant on Yelp, and couldn't be happier with our choice! We arrived and had were seated shortly. We chose to sit outside because it was a nice day and it was really pretty. Outdoor seating had pretty decor and it was very relaxing to eat there. It was during lunch time so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the Pad See Ew and it was my first time trying the Mango Sticky Rice! Both foods were yummy, and I've had a numerous amount of Pad See Ew and this restaurant's dish was very soft and chewy. The service was great, although a bit slow. It was fine though because my boyfriend and I were chatting anyways. I would definitely go again if in the area!
It was a little hard to find this hidden Thai place located near Mt.Soledad. But, nonetheless, we found it, and there was an ample amount of parking. For the appetizer, we ordered chicken satay and for entrees, we ordered turmeric tofu pineapple fried rice and chicken pad see ew. The noodles were nice and chewy and flavored perfectly. The chicken satay was so soft and paired really well with the creamy peanut sauce. The fried rice was delicious as well and the sweetness from the pineapples balanced out the spiciness. The outdoor patio seating area is cute and cozy. Service was nice and fast too. Overall, this place is a must-try hidden gem in San Diego.
Tucked in the back of a small shopping plaza near Mount Soledad is a charming and delicious Thai spot. The chicken pad Thai was light and fresh with accommodations made for my gluten allergy by the kitchen. The pumpkin curry was recommended by the server and was a flavorful, warm dish perfect for a cold winter night. We dined in early so the service was good as the restaurant wasn't too crowded. Very much enjoyed my experience and can't wait to come back.
