Your Choice Thai Restaurant

F-L-A-V-O-R-F-U-L food! Everything here is amazing, the ambience (under a solarium), the staff (sweethearts🥰) and the food with amazing portion size!! We had several dietary restrictions and the staff was super accommodating. My recommendations are to try the grilled shrimp skewers, vegetable spring rolls (the sauce is amazing) & Thai iced tea with lime! 😃

Stopped for dinner while driving through SB and loved this place! Got the pad see ew, crab Rangoon, and combination fried rice to share between two people. We had leftovers to go as the portions are generous. The food is amazing but so is the well lit dining area with positive and attentive staff. Definitely will be back when coming through!

One of the worst Thai restaurants ever. Ordered a Thai salad and Yum Tum soup. Both were horrible. Salad seemed to come from a 99cent store package. It had red cabbage which isn't used in authentic Thai salads the peanut sauce was mediocre, barely passable... the soup wasn't even hot and had way too much mushrooms and old chicken. I spit out the soup on the 1st taste. Had to go to an in and out burger afterwards to eat something edible.

Love this place and just tried for the first time since I have a new office close by. Had a roommate that grew up in Thailand so I'm highly critical of Thai food, and this place does it just right. Upper State street, and they are delicious, reasonably priced, with friendly people that work here. Not a romantic place to eat whatsoever, but your bellies will be filled with love and goodness from the food. Will be coming back regularly. Thank you guys!

Best Thai Food in Santa Barbara! Family operated for generations. The son also operates an ice cream business inside the restaurant with exotic and delicious homemade flavors. The menu was recently updated and it is very hard to choose an entree because they are all amazing! The Tom Kha Gai soup is one of the best I've ever had.

I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 10 years. The quality of the food and atmosphere has only gotten better with the years. This is rare with restaurants in Santa Barbara but if there is one secret to keeping your doors open and lasting longer than a few years as a restaurant owner in this town it would be not cutting corners with the food. Santa Barbara locals are a tough crowd. We know when you do this and we will stop coming as soon as the food gets cheap and the quality takes a dive. On the other hand, if you keep making things *better* word gets out and people will come. This is the case with "Your Choice" Thai. When I used to go here years ago with friends it was decent Thai food. Nothing to complain about. Now? The ingredients are so fresh, the dishes are all so well made. When I compare it to other newer Thai restaurants in Santa Barbara and Goleta I already know which ones will be closed in the next few years if they can't figure out how to make a decent Curry sauce! They have a great (efficient) take out service in the front of the house with plenty of room for people to wait for their orders without disturbing the folks staying for dinner. And trust me, you will see a crowd of people waiting for their take out on certain nights of the week! They have three walls worth of booths with the back wall booths flexible for large parties. The center of the dining room has tables that can be arranged to fit various sized parties and the entire front of the house also has tables looking out across Upper State Street and Loretto Plaza. That's another thing to make a note of, this *not* the location (Your Place) on Milpas Street, this is on Upper State Street. (Your Choice) There is plenty of parking but it does get full during dinner time. Not to worry though, there is parking on the side streets in the San Roque neighborhood. I almost don't want everyone to know about my favorite Thai restaurant because this will make them even busier. But as long as they keep the quality of their food and dining experience top notch it should be ok! They really have earned it. One last thing, the service. They are basically a well oiled machine at this point. They have added a lot of new staff from what I have seen. Some of the newer servers are very green but all of them are very friendly and polite. The more seasoned servers will serve you your first cup of tea and ladle your first cup of soup for you. Newer servers are more likely to just put it down on the table and leave you to it. However no matter who is serving you they are all interested in helping you with whatever it is you need. If you are waiting for your take out order they will check on it for you and find out how much longer it will be, whatever specific need you have will always be attended to by whomever catches your eye first. I have never experienced any rudeness or inefficiency with anyone there. Just levels of experience. Which is completely forgivable. This is basically the restaurant I will go to when I want to br guaranteed to have a positive experience. So far I have never been disappointed. Pictured: Phad Thai with Tofu, Thom Kha soup with Veggies, Green Tea, Pa Nang Curry with Tofu and rice. My Mom and I had a wonderful vegetarian spread. We don't always go vegetarian but felt like it the other night. It was perfect. The leftovers were amazing too.
