Spices Thai Cafe

This is my fave Thai place in San Diego. I usually get the yellow curry and some sort of appetizer or a lunch special which is always a great deal. We will also get the spicy noodles or pad Thai. The best apps are the calamari, wings and money bags. Last time we ordered online and they were out of something, they tried to get ahold of us to tell us before we got there. They weren’t able to because my phone had died, but were really nice about it when we got there and subbed out our app with another. Really great food and service

So I've been to two Thai restaurants within a span of a few days and this one was the better of the two food wise. I would've liked more of a spice hit. It isn't much decor wise - just a space with tables and chairs. The servers are nice. We got the Panang curry and the drunken noodles for 7/10 and 8/10 spice level. Both dishes tasted good. Good quantity also. Personally speaking though, I could've had more heat in both. I'll definitely be back and ask for a level 9 next time!

Looking for a quick healthy lunch in Carmel Valley. Their lunch specials come with an egg roll and two crispy curry lentil wontons, as well as a tasty coconut soup ! I ordered the Pannang curry with pork and the Pad Thai. I think curries are the better choice! Each lunch was under $15 which is very reasonable.

I had an amazing experience with this restaurant! Uber eats cancelled my order because the driver was too impatient and rude to the staff. Somehow the kitchen mixed up my order when I reordered and the food was very spicy and I had ordered zero spice level. The woman in charge at the restaurant, Arada, gave me a credit to reorder my food for another time since it was so late and I couldn’t get to the restaurant. Amazing customer service and the food is always delicious!! Thank you Arada!!
