“Great place, kind staff, nice food with decent portions & excellent flavor. Try their specialty boba drinks & mango sticky rice if it’s in season, delicious!“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

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

“We absolutely love Birdseye Kitchen! The imperial rolls are some of the best around — crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken pho is a must-try; the broth is rich and comforting, and the portions are generous. Every time we visit, the service is excellent — friendly, attentive, and fast. The restaurant has a warm and relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for both lunch and dinner. Definitely one of our favorite local spots, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“Tasty authentic Thai restaurant“

“Delicious Thai food small family business with great food and friendly staff.“

“This Thai restaurant used to be owned by another person and the current owners have completely remodeled and made it into a beautiful Thai restaurant. The food is excellent the service fantastic and even lunch is a major treat. Plenty of good choices for lunch or dinner. And also good for small groups with the way the seating is now arranged after the very extensive remodel. I highly recommend visiting it. I had the Drunken Noodles which is a whole dish into itself for lunch but I included a picture of the first very nice appetizer dish that was included with lunch. This meal, and a Thai tea, with tax it came to $21 which I feel is almost unheard of nowadays. You will not leave hungry.

My wife and I had dinner monday night on the 11th. It was sincerely one of the best Thai meals I have had in my life anywhere between Hawaii, Washington State and Washington D.C. High quality foods prepared to high standards. Absolutely delicious. The remodeling produced a beautiful interior. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful Thai restaurant in this area.“

“I have had lunch here twice now and WOW! Food is always fresh, tasty, skillfully and carefully prepared. The woman at the counter is VERY nice. I wanted iced, unsweetened green tea and she brewed some just for me and made enough for a refill! That is great customer service and I am here for it!“

“As much as I'd like to keep this gem to myself, it's truly a great find, just outside Carlsbad Village. The food is excellent, pricing is fair, and the staff is amazing. It's an old building, needing work, but they've decorated well and created a comfortable ambiance.Tell Da that Fun Chad sent you 😉“

“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.“

“So good! Great service too!!“

“I am a Thai connoisseur. Specifically curries. Even more specifically green curry. Thai Thai makes an excellent green curry. It's one of the better ones I've had in the San Diego area. It has eggplant in it, which in my opinion, is a prerequisite for making a top notch green curry. Yum! We also love their fresh spring rolls. They serve them with peanut sauce and one other sauce that is not plum sauce (what is usually served with this appetizer), but is far more delicious in our opinion. This is one of our go-to Thai places in North County.“

“Always great food for dining in or for takeout!“

“Excellent Thai food in a beautiful setting. You will love the ambience, the food and the service.
The place is nicely decorated, the most beautiful food I have been to. Everything we tried was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough.
The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“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.“

“The lunch specials here are awesome (available until 3pm) - great combo plates with won tons, spring rolls, salad, rice and cup of soup - and don't forget to get some Thai iced tea! (Dinner service is a la carte). I love the Panang Curry with Roast Duck, as shown in my photo. Traditional lunch hour is quite busy and a short wait for a table should be expected. Later in the afternoon (e.g. 2:30) is very tranquil. I can personally attest that Spices has been providing fantastic food and excellent service for decades. A reliable go-to for the best Thai food in San Diego (if you ask me).“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“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.“

“Kiin Extraordinary Thai truly lives up to its name. The flavors are bold, authentic, and beautifully balanced, every dish tastes thoughtfully crafted and full of fresh ingredients. From their rich curries to the perfectly seasoned noodles and vibrant appetizers, everything is consistently delicious and packed with real Thai flavor.

The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. Portions are generous, presentation is excellent, and the quality stands out every time.

If you’re craving Thai food that feels elevated without losing its authenticity, Kiin Extraordinary Thai is an absolute must-visit. Exceptional food, great service, and an overall memorable dining experience.“
