Hot soups are highly recommended. We ate lunch today and enjoyed it. Staff are polite with nice smiles. Food tastes were authentic, and it's located in the historic heart of San Diego, so the location is perfect. Try if you like thai food.

I'm in San Diego for the weekend and was seeking a serene spot for my first dinner downtown. I was captivated by this restaurant. It's quiet, incredibly cozy, and the food is excellent. Beyond the delightful decor and atmosphere, the waitstaff is wonderful—smiling, very polite, and charming. I highly recommend this place! 👌

The culinary experience at this place is superb! I opted for the chicken curry, and its flavor was truly delightful. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. The food service was reasonably prompt. I definitely plan to return when I find myself in San Diego again.

Walked here from Marriott Marquis one night after conference to catch a break from conference food. Had the Drunken Noodle with combo meats. Great flavor. Very trendy décor, didn't hang out there for too long.

Incredibly underrated option for delicious Thai food in the Gaslamp district. While attending a large conference for work, my party needed a lunch spot and didn’t love the incredibly long lines at so many of the options closer to the convention center. This place was absolutely worth the extra 5 min walk. Service was great, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was just amazing. We enjoyed a variety of curries this time and would come back without hesitation to try more. Overall, very good, affordable, and less crowded option in a very busy part of town. Don’t skip out!

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.
