Came here for dinner around 18:45 on a Thursday with my family. It was not busy at all so we were seated right away. We were provided water right away and given time to look at the menu. I wanted to order the Crab Meat Fried Rice, but they did not have everything to make it, so I went with the Panang Curry with spice level 2. My wife got the Panang Curry level 4 and my mom got the Chicken BBQ Fried Rice. Everything was really delicious and flavorful. The place had lot of decorations and looked clean all around. The staff was quick and friendly. We would definitely come back for more, especially the proximity to our home.

Very good curry. Got the yellow curry, got the spiciness level 5 and it was perfect. Hot enough to notice, but didn't detract from the flavor.

5 out of 5! This place is the best thai food I've ever had. I got the Beef Pad See Ew at a level 7 heat and it was heaven in every bit. Noodles cooked to perfection and the beef was tender with a nice sear to it. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

I really enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. We both ordered pad thai and both dishes were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back here again when we are in San diego. Thank you.

I had the best chicken satay I’ve ever had here! The peanut sauce is to die for and I’ve never had chicken be so tender! The ice cream is made at the restaurant and is extremely delicious. I’ll definitely be back

The food is good and is served pretty quickly after ordering. The staff is incredibly attentive, checked on the table multiple times, and brought water bowls out for the dogs.

The food was great and all the sauces they had to. I went here with my baby’s brother and mom the people serving us were really nice to my family the food was well seasoned and is definitely worth the money for such a large portion of food there’s not a lot of what you ask for but it’s with it. Definitely recommend

Most of these bad reviews are garbage, probably competitors. This food is AMAZING. I love Thai food, but authentic Thai, not watered down American Thai. California Thai Cafe is amazing. All of our five dishes bursting with flavor, the freshness and taste apparent in every bite. 5 orders with 20% tip $117. Worth ever penny!
