Don't be put off by the surroundings
This restaurant certainly needs some TLC, the decor is worn and tired-looking. However, if you can get past that, the food is definitely worth it. I would recommend the coconut shrimp and chicken pad thai. Service was fast and friendly.
Best Thai I've ever had!. We were the only couple in the restaurant and we simply couldn't understand how there wasn't a line around the block for this place! Absolutley delicious and fresh authentic Thai. If you like things spicy this is the place for you!
On time for the lunch crowd. This is the second thai restaurant I've eaten at in the Gaslamp. This is the best!! The red curry with tofu was really great, lots of coconut milk taste. I'd have preffered they used more basil, but the tofu was just the right consistency. Thai iced tea is some of the best I've had, and it wasn't through-the-roof expensive like some places in the Gaslamp quarter. I'll be calling for takeout again.
Authentic and delicious!. Loved this place, it was close to our hotel and the place was always buzzing with people when we walk by so we had to try it before we left. We had the green curry with chicken which was one of the best take on the dish that I have tried, tom yum gong soup with shrimp and also seafood mix. For dessert we had the mango with sticky rice which definitely hit the spot to end the meal :) overall a great place for thai food and reasonably priced with good portions :)
“The best Thai in town in an unpretentious setting. This place truly has a great variety of thai dishes, and having gone there several times with my extended family (sister has home near San Diego), I can attest the that different dishes have unique flavors and are not just the same flavor with different vegetables, as in some places. I like my food hot, and an 8 is ample. I am partial to the duck curries and my mother always gets the salmon. The decor is not fancy, but it is clean and utilitarian. I do not understand why this restaurant is not listed on many of the hotel restaurant lists, unless they want to keep it a local secret!
It is across from Panera and near the Baja Fresh on Broadway circle just north of the Horton plaza.
When? Apparently noon. Come early for lunch as it can suddenly turn busy. The complimentary tom yum soup tends to be watery. However, the noodle version turns out better. I also like the spicy noodles and pad woon sen. Be careful when specifying spice levels as the hot is all that and more!

Ordered the Spicy Noodles Spice Level 5 with pork. Mildly spicy (as expected) - sharing more for those unsure what spice level to get. you can also tell the noodle recipe alone is rich in quality, many herbs and spices combine for a savory lunch! Quality ingredients and generous portion size. No I did not receive incentives to write this review either!
The dining experience was delightful, and the food was exceptionally delicious during our family dinner at the restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the Drunken Noodle, which was well-flavored. The noodles had a creamy texture with eggs, infused with the fragrance of basil. The beef was tender, and the broccoli and bell peppers were fresh. The noodles maintained a delightful moderate softness. My husband praised the Pad Thai for its excellent taste. The Tom Yum soup had a delightful balance of sweetness and sourness, making it thoroughly enjoyable.
While the prices for the dishes were moderate, the portions were generous and substantial. Even my picky-eater kids enjoyed the chicken, finishing every piece on their plates. The chicken plate, featuring up to 9 large pieces, was surprisingly affordable.
The food was delicious. I have a wonderful family dinner at the restaurant. I really like the Drunken noodle which tastes well. The noodles texture is creamy with eggs, flavored with basil, beef is soft, and broccoli and bell peppers are fresh. The noodles are moderately soft. My husband said the pad Thai is very good. The Tom Yum soup is moderately sweet and sour and delicious. The price of the items is moderate but the plate is huge and plentiful. My kids are difficult eaters but they love to eat chicken here. They ate it all up and the chicken plate with up to 9 large chicken pieces was too cheap.
A great experience. I totally enjoyed the food, the portion size was good value for money. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the food very nicely presented and lots of authentic flavours. The customer service was exceptional very friendly and kind spirited. I also enjoyed the fact that I could have sat outside and enjoy the sunshine and dine
Best 😊 Thai in San Diego. Hands down. Comfy atmosphere, could have used some mood music...however the company was good so it turned out great. Waitress was sweet and attentive but didn't pester. Food was swift, fresh, hot and so delicious!! A+ ;) Everything else e ordered was top notch...right down to the scrumptious Thai tea.
I visited this place back in December last year. I loved the food here. I ordered a Veg Pad See You without eggs for takeaway. The food was very tasty. The lady who took my order was super friendly and suggested a few veg dishes too that would be good. I went with pad see you! Will definitely visit this place again if i am in San Diego! If you are ordering a takeaway, be sure to keep the box flat as there are high chances that it will leak. So pack well!
Good lunch specials for about $10. As soon as you sit down, you get water with lemon and a very tasty soup. Lunch portions are good sized and service is fast. They also brought out the bill promptly. We were in and out in about 45 min.
Thai Time was a nice place to have a solo lunch. Almost as soon as I sat down I was provided water and the house soup. I wasn’t a fan of the soup but was highly impressed by the quick attention and pleasant service. I had the spicy fried rice with chicken lunch combo. It came with a small salad, fried wonton, and spring roll. It was more than enough food. I asked for mild spice on my rice and it had a noticeable kick but not mouth burning.
My experience in this restaurant, highly recommend !
Even the restaurant has low rate , but I had really nice experience in here. The restaurant still have many people come and enjoy..
People in here is Thai people , the way they made really good ! I have been to Thai many times so the taste in here similar.
Hope the restaurant have more good rate by day !
Pad Thai, Beef Yellow curry and spring rolls was a BLAST!!! Service was kind from start to finish. Going back when in DTSD.
