“We loved the great little touches here. Staff is very kind and friendly. The duck is amazing! Overall food is great, service is great, atmosphere is homey.“

“I had dinner here last Saturday with a friend, and everything was amazing! Our server, Jinny, was super friendly and gave us great recommendations — every single one hit the mark!

We ordered the wonton cheese, Nam Tok beef, crab fried rice, and Tom Yum soup. Every dish was delicious, but the Nam Tok beef really blew me away — perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Definitely my favorite of the night!

I also grabbed a $4 Singha craft beer, which was such a great deal and paired perfectly with the crispy wonton cheese. Total fire!

Highly recommend this place for great food, good vibes, and awesome service“

“Best Thai Restaurant in the county. Delicious, awesome service great prices.“

“Great option to support local businesses. Pad Thai was awesome and just the right amount of spice for the perfect tingle (7). Highly recommended, great customer service and taking COVID protocols seriously.“

“First Visit—Pixel took my order and was very friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. Fresh Rolls (4 pieces) were tasty with very yummy peanut sauce. Pad Prik King with Beef was delicious. It’s a bit pricey for the vibe and the fact that you have to order, pickup your own food, and clean up your own table, yet still asked to tip (I did give $5 bc Pixel was so great). But it shouldn’t be required or even truly expected! Total $32!
This is a small storefront within a larger Food Hall at The Windmill Food Hall.
Outside seating could be better if it wasn’t blocked by the fence without any view. Inside seating is large yet dark and unappealing. Again it’s for All the food places altogether. There’s plenty of parking—large, Free parking lot.“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Found this location from a recommendation from one of the exotic tree nurseries down the street. Next to a main road but not to busy or intrusive on our experience. The food was amazing and most important. Fresh authentic, spiced really well and I could not be more impressed with the quality and the chef. Beautiful atmosphere on the flower filled outside cozy seating area. A great place to spend time with a loved one on a bike ride. Will be going back for sure when in the area for sure. We visited in the morning in April 2025.“

“We enjoyed our two curry dishes and the papaya salad.

For us, the papaya salad was too fish sauce strong, it was good, but overpowering.

We enjoyed the beef curry and our tofu kabocha curry. Perfectly flavored, a 5/10 is genuinely a five, and the portions were great with just enough to bring home leftovers.

As a group we enjoyed the ribs appetizer, but the beef was tough and overcooked. Flavorwise the ribs were great, but chewy.“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“One of the better Thai restruants or Asian restraunts in general in Oceanside. Serving actual authentic Thai dishes with real spice unlike many Thai/Asian restraunts here that I’ve tried so far. The staff are also always kind to me and make me feel welcomed everytime I come here.“

“We tried this place tonight after seeing it every Sunday on the way to get my husbands hair cut. It’s ALWAYS busy, but tonight was less busy so we decided to stop in. Great food, great customer service, wonderful outdoor dining space, and beautiful inside dining space.“

“Food was amazing! Great Vegan options and fresh food! Only negative was there were no many people picking up food the ambiance was not the best. Good was awesome!

Vegetarian options: Make sure to order with no fish sauce and brown rice is the best! ❤️“

“The staff is vey sweet sand helpful“

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the North county area. I mostly do takeout from this place, but it is a great experience dining in as well. Food is delicious and portions are generous. I also highly recommend appetizers and dessert here. My go to is the drunken noodles or massaman curry, but everything else I've tried was amazing. Service is fast and friendly, there is rarely a long wait for food or drinks.“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“Tasty authentic Thai restaurant“

“By far the best Thai food in North County. Run don't walk I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.“

“Absolutely outstanding - best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. Noodles had that elusive awesome wok hay flavor (I know that’s a Chinese concept but not sure how to describe the Thai equivalent). Our server was super friendly and efficient- food came out lightning fast. We ordered the fried eggplant, the basil stir fry with beef, and the Chow Fun with tofu. Only wish we had more people in our party so we could try more things.“
